Senate Health Committee Republicans Request Details on FDA's Promotion of ACA
Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, U.S. Senate June 20, 2013
"The senators wrote: 'We are writing to ask why and under what authority the [FDA] is using its time and resources to enroll Americans in health insurance marketplaces created by the new health care law.... The e-mail alerts your agency sends to the public should reflect your agency's actual statutory mission to assure the safety of food, drugs, and medical devices. The upcoming enrollment period and insurance coverage availability under the new law appear to be outside of your agency's mission to approve and regulate lifesaving medical products in a timely manner and keeping our food supply safe."

Letter from Ranking Member of Senate HELP Committee to EBSA Requesting Hearing on Proposed PTE (PDF)
Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, U.S. Senate July 15, 2020
"Given the significance of this proposed rule and the fact the proposed PTE relies heavily on the [SEC's] Regulation Best Interest, the Department, as it has in the past, should formally engage and seek input from the public.... A public hearing is critical to a thorough understanding in light of the reliance on another federal agency's regulation, as well as the numerous proposals and changes the Department has made over the past month in delineating ERISA's fiduciary duties. I also reiterate my previous request that the Department extend the 30-day comment period by an additional 60 days as the current comment period is inadequate to provide thoughtful analysis."

Senate HELP Committee Looks at Multiple-Employer Plans
Institutional Investor Nov. 12, 2015
"[T]he U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) hosted a hearing October 28 on retirement plan options for small employers.... Despite the diversity among the four pension and retirement industry leaders giving testimony, all four agreed that multiple-employer plans (MEP) have the potential to be an effective means to deliver retirement savings benefits, both for small employers and their employees. MEPs would mitigate the top small-employer objections -- cost, administrative burden and fiduciary concerns -- that surfaced in a poll of 850 small employers conducted [earlier] this year."
