mean for health care? we are watching the markets very closely after that huge drop tuesday. is there a biotech bubble about to burst? and duck! a shoe hurled at hillary clinton at an event, and why this is dubbed "ducking the shoe." and now sh, the ntsb is on way to investigate a crash that killed at least ten people, and most of them high school students. witnesses said they saw explosion and giant flames. a fedex truck slammed headon into a tour bus packed with high school students. the kids were from los angeles on the way to a college visit when that crash happened 100 miles north of sacramento. check this out, it capturing a tower of black smoke above the scene. the highway california patrol says that the drivers of the bus and the truck were killed. at least five of the victims who survived talked about the frightening situation on the

"today" show. >> i with was asleep, a n thnd heard people screaming and i was thrown from my seat that caused the cut over my head, and then i realized that the entire aisle was filled with smoke, and that is when we had to jump from the tour bus. >> and chris najarian is covering the story, and he is live from chico, and what do we know here? >> well, as you said, it looks like the fedex truck crossed the median and slammed into the bus, and now we are hearing from some of the students who are in more serious condition overnight, and some representatives from humboldt university the school that they were going to be visiting in northern california are here trying to visit them as well. >> i mean, yes, i know, that it is a tragedy in any circumstance, but you have a lot

of students who are first generation kids who are going to college, and this happens, and i know that the college issued a statement as well. you interviewed one of the crash survivors and wa was he able to tell you about the crash? >> well, he told us that it happened very suddenly, that all of the sudden people were screaming and started panicking. some people were able to escape through the emergency exit, and people were smashing windows and jumping out, and seem ed like a violent and frightening situation. >> yeah, you can see from the pictures how devastating it was. and let me ask you about what is happening with the survivors now. i know that some of the local residents were bringing food and blankets and donations for the vi victims a at community center, and is that where they are mostly gathered right now? >> a number of students were brought there, and the one s that were not injured stayed possibly overnight at the community the center, and when i arrived there, there were piles and piles of donations from the local businesses and residents

and the red cross was there taking care of them. >> and chris najarian from the l.a. times there on the scene p updating us. thank you for the update. >> sure. and this morning, obamacare is about to get a new leader. the head of the office of management and budget, sylvia burrwell is taking over just as we find out how crucial the position is to the elections. next hour, president obama will officially announce that he has accepted the resignation of health secretary cath can lean sebelius who has been a lightning rod for the criticism of the disastrous rollout of obamacare. >> you said that america should hold you accountable, which is today, madam secretary, i repeat my request for you to resign. >> she has failed. >> deadline after deadline missed and it is as if the agency is in disarray trying to

meet the october deadline. >> i am as frustrated as anybody with the flawed launch of healthcare.gov. so let me say to the americans, you deserve better. >> and in fact, she was noticeably absent last month when president obama said they had met the march 31st goal of 7 million signups, but she did have a chance yesterday to tell the senate finance committee that total enrollment has reached 7.5 million. >> 4,000 additional americans have signed up, and we expect that number to grow. >> and let's bring in dafna l d lindser and amanda terkel from "huffington post." and what do you make to the timing of all of this, dafna? >> well, it is ideal time the ing and she said that there were

7.5 million people who enrolled and she set the figure of 7 million as the necessary number to make sure that the pool will would work, and she has achieved the goal, but she has been a convenient punching bag, and they are looking forward to movingp and they hope that burwell will not take the place as the lightning rod that she has been. >> and it is not surprising that a number of the republicans with were eager to jump on that resignation. this from eric canter. >> i thank secretary sebelius for her service. she had an impossible task. nobody could make obamacare work. >> and what about this republican perception of it? >> well, the criticisms won't change, and sebelius is gone, but they will continue to criticize obamacare and continue to criticize and call for the

appeals to sort of everything that president obama and the white house have done with it. and maybe a new head there, but it is an issue, and i expect them to use the confirmation hearing of sylvia matthews burwell to air the grievances. she was confirmed to the office of management and budget unanimously, but maybe tougher for her to be confirmed as the head of hhs because it is incredibly politicized. >> and dafna, will the republicans try to block this or use it as a forum to keep the whole critique of obamacare going in a much more public way? >> well, they can't block it. but they will do exactly that, use it as a forum, and use anything as a forum, including any race in the midterms, but this mornbling we were talk about seeing the new campaign ad out for mark begich who is running in alaska and very pro obamacare ad. it is very impressive ad, and i think that there are going to be candidates who are going to buck that trend, and run on the

obamacare, and the support of it and win. >> and we mentioned the poll though showing that 84% say that the obama carecare is an important factor in determining the midterm vote, and that not just a strong majority of the republicans, but 52% of democrats, amanda. i wonder if there is a kind of practical matter here, a lot of criticism of kathleen sebelius and not just for the rollout, but that she did not reach out, and no strong relationships to hand off to b ushgtsurwell, and she mend some of the fences or given the overall political climate, it won't change? >> well, it is a fresh start, but it is going to be be incredibly tough. where kathleen sebelius did reach out is republican governors. eight republican governors did decide to expand medicaid in their state, and that not an easy task since many of them were completely against oba obamacare, and the fact that they did decide to expand medicaid did put more people on

the rolls and a testament and something that sebelius can hold proudly as part of the legacy. >> and anybody who has done a roll out of this program type, and administration has said, there is going to be problems and snags on the way, and problems with the insurers, dafna, and the problems with the patients, and given that, given that reality, what else are the big challenges here for the new hhs secretary? >> i think that making sure that now that everybody is enrolled, and 7.5 million people in are getting the insurance coverage they expect to have. >> and another deadline is coming up, too. >> absolutely, and that is a pofrt the -- and now we are beyond the rollout, and now sort of developing a system that everybody can come into it, and that is the important part. burwell is an excellent manager and that is why she is chosen say the president's closest aides and now we move forward into the system that even though the voter sas they are very, very concerned about, but they are not interested in it going

away. they want it improved and enhanced and the law enhanced more, but people are not saying as the republicans tried more than 50 times to kill obamacare. >> and another enrollment period in november 15th. >> yes. >> and so we will see and hear a lot more of it between the midterms. dafna and amanda, thank you. stay with us for live coverage of the president's announcement coming up at 11:00 at the top of the hour. and checking the news feed, first look at the man police say that was behind the wheel of the suv involved in the horrific car crash at a day care center. the man appeared before a judge, and 4-year-old lilly was sitting at her table waiting for the snack when the car came crashing through the wall and killed her. 11 other children were hurt. this is lilly's heartbroken mother. >> she was a princess and soldier at the same time. she would run around in a tu tu

waving a sword, and now she is gon gone. >> and she was involved in a crash from this man. and now search teams are getting closer to finding missing malaysian airlines flight 370. >> we have very much narrowed down the search area, and we are very confident that the signals that we are detecting are from the black box on mh-371. >> and tony abbott also said that the investigators also belief that the signals are fading, and they need to gather as much information as they can before the signals disappear. sep or the rand paul says that giving guns to all pilots in the cockpit would be the best way to prevent another attack. homeless security has argued in favor of air marshals.

>> this morning does not make sense and officials say that there is no ed that the suspect in the pennsylvania high school stabbing was bullied or targeting anyone. the attorney for alex hribal says that his client was not a

problem student or outcast. >> he has never been disciplined in school. he mixes well with the other students as far as i have been able to determine, and everybody wants to come up with some analysis, but i think that he is a nice kid. i don't know what happened here. we will find out. >> meantime the official hospitals say that out of the 22 people stabbed 10 boys are remaining hospitalized and three of them in critical condition. let me bring in nbc analyst and former fbi profiler clint van zandt. and we have talked so many times in these situations, and you have said that people don't just snap, which is a term that people like to use, but alex hribal says that there has to be something inside of that kid that nobody knew about, and what are you looking at, clint? >> well, one of the things that is going to be coming out is that fellow students will say, he was teased and maybe not physically shoved around, but emotionally, i have heard at least one female student in his

same grade level say that he was teased or picked on, and so even though the alleged subject in this case may have told his attorney i didn't e feel picked on, and there were other students that saw that, and that could very well be part of the makeup that caused him to final finally erupt the way he did. >> and it is interesting and a fine line and nobody knows what it is, and in a 16-year-old boy's mind, and yeah, nothing that happened to him that would rise to the level that most of us would consider bullying. >> and the bottom line is that there is something here to come out, and the point of it is that, chris, the person who did it, and the young man, himself, may not be able to, you know, verbally state why he did this, and we are told that there was some event that took place the night before. and i have seen one media report that said that he called a student, an older student and

said to the words to the effect, i'm really going to screw up tomorrow, and if that took place and if it had any planning, it would suggest that number one, are there may have been a little preplanning at least the night before, and number two, something finally brought this to head. i mean, you and i don't lose it everyday and students don't lose it. there's a build-up that took place. i think that what we are going to find when all of the interviews are done, and everything takes place that there's may have been an emotional troubled young man, and short for the stature, and kind of a loaner, and all of these things would play into it, and does one thing make someone go to school, and stab? no. but a multitude of events brought this emotional reaction about. >> and tell us about the psychological analysis of of

this person, and what would that do to bring answers to this? >> well, there are a number of very good child psychiatrists, and this is indefensible as far as the criminal justice system is concerned unless his attorney can mount a successful mental health defense. you and i though, and everybody else is saying, well, there must be a mental health issue, because otherwise, kids would be going to school and acting like this everyday. i agree. i think that there is going to be be a significant mental health issue. realize that a lot of times this young man was 16 years old, and lot of times, p mental health issues don't develop until you are that age, and it can come about so slowly that the parents who were told that are kind of an ozzie harriat type, and i say it most positively, a good family that may have just looked at him and saw the, him being depressed or him being somewhat introverted and written it off as being part of the

16-year-old, and not knowing the other forces that were impacting on their own son's life. >> and we know and we have been talking about this the first day that the officials have been getting the help of the fbi experts who are in the process of processing the crime scene as well as his home. and so we are seeing what looks to be computers coming out of there, and obviously, a thorough search of that, and what other thip kinds of things will they be looking at at to help us to answer these questions that we have? >> well, there is a term that we use, and the profilers use, and the psychologists and psychiatrists who talk about the psychological leakge, and, chris, this is something that you and i talk about, it does not come out of the blue. there is a not a snap, but a build-up. so they are look or the evidence of this, and how did this emotion take place, and was anybody else aware of it or involved in the planning? so far we are not think sog. we are thinking of one person who acted in a terrible way, but it is hard to imagine that somebody this young with, you

know, with access to computers and cell phones and internet would not have researched or wat watched movies, wouldn't have written about his emotions somehow in the diary that he maintained for himself, most likely electronic, that there is some psychological leakge or evidence of that as he built up to it. >> thank you, clint van zandt. have a good weekend. >> thank you, chris. and the pros ecutor calls oscar pistorius a liar, again. is he proving the case or too hard on the former olympian. >> and the state of race in america. and the president is set to address the network of political action, and he suggests that the people have been treated differently because they are black.

new laws aimed at restricting voting rights. yesterday, the president presented himself as a product of the civil rights act of 1964. >> because of the laws president johnson signed, new doors of opportunity and education swung open for everybody. not all at once, but they swung open for you and for me, and that is why i am standing here today, because of those efforts, because of that legacy. >> let me bring in goldie taylor from grio.com, and james taylor is a director of african-american studies at lehigh university. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> the president's speech is going to focus on the voting laws and democrats are arguing that it is making it harder for millions of americans to vote, and political disenfranchisement, goldie, all

part of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, and what can we do in 2014? >> well, the issue here is that the president said that the doors sort of swung open, but i would rather say they creeked open, and some people walked through while others stood on the outside and the inside, and a as we relitigate the issues around voting and relitigate the issue issues a tornado so-called culture of poverty and the access of that so-called american dream, and as we relitigate those things, we will find out how we perfect this union once and for all. this president is an embodiment of what happened in '64 and '65 and as am i, and so are you as we relate to sitting together at this desk together and having public discourse is an advancement for the country that we don't always recognize, and so this president certainly has his work cut for him, and the congress with their work cut out for them as we perfect the

nation, but so do future generations. >> and 13 new laws in different states that have denied access in many ways to voting. james, the moral monday protest in north carolina over the state's new voter i.d. laws, and they have expanded across the south, and some have compared it to the events that are like the march on selma, and fair comparisons? what is the process now? >> well, it is some comparisons and it is sad for people who think about the protests in the south as a moment of strength for all of us, but it is clear when you look at the voter i.d. laws and ending early voting, and look at all of the ways in which the legislatures of certain states are trying to diminish the democracy by limiting the access to the vote, that poses a particularly challenging problem for us in terms ofpolitics, but there are other fronts that need to be fought. when you think of how muslim americans are treat ed ined in

country, and women treated in access to reproductive rights and health care, and there is so much more to be done across a number of platforms and demographics in the nation right now. >> well, it does raise the question, and down in austin with the big summit that marks the 50th anniversary, goldie, they are having segment s ts on gay rights and segments of equal pay, and some of those issue s that are segments of this, and some people say, if we are talking about race so much, can we move on to so many other issues? >> well, having the conversation as some would say fuel this kind of annice, but i think that what dr. king and others fought for and marched for and bled for was way beyond what we will see in terms of the black and white, that included our lbgt brothers

and sisters, but we have to look at it more wholistically, and when we don't, we exclude people in the battle. when we include people of all culture and economic background s, we will have a grander movement that is much more inclusive and will effect the change in the country. >> and the civil rights conversations were still this week as the president was making e remarks in austin, there were other remarks in attorney general eric holder accusing those in congress of unprecedent and unwarranted attacks many of which believed it was racial undertones, and this is how the lawmaker lawmakers reacted to that. >> if there is anyone who believes that the color of the president who is not an issue of

those who adamantly oppose him, they are wrong. >> there is no issue of race here. the frustration is that the american people have not been told truth about what happened at the irs. >> james, what do you make of that back and forth? >> well, i mean, a lit boilt of the politil -- a little bit of politics is being played here, but don't be fatigued about racial discourse in the country for two reasons. one, when we look across the institutions and race is still a f factor in which people are discriminated against, and that is the bottom line and the facts, and yes, the attorney n general and the president have been subjected to racialized attack attacks and maybe not coming from mr. boehner, but from the party, amend we have documented it on this network over and over again, and what is more important, chris, is the civil rights movement and the way that black folk work together to

coalescow coales coalesce, it coalesce, it is a blueprint for the women's movement, and the lgbt context, and so it is like goldie says not the only part, but central component in the way to think about overcoming discrimination and oppression in the kun tcountry. >> and james peterson and goldie taylor, great conversation, and thank you both for coming in today. >> thank you, chris. >> thank you. and nato says russia has 40,000 troops along the ukrainian border, and tanks and artillery attacks. and russia denies the claims, but the satellite images verify the claim. and now, accord ting to the sydney herald, he says that he submitted a code that was flawed before it was activate and it became known as the heartbleed bug, and now millions of people are changing their passwords to avoid their data from being

sto stolen. >> and now there are counts for vance mccallsticcallister to re. speaker boehner says he has some decisions to be made. >> i expect everybody to be held to the highest of ethical standards, and this is no different. >> and bobby jindal says he wants privacy to work on the issues with the family, and the best way to get privacy and putting the family back together is to resign from congress. he was sworn in five months ago after a special election where he touted the christian family values, and he has apologized for the affair and the staffer has resigned. oh, how clever the chimps are loose from the kansas city zoo this thursday, and one chim pan zoo fashioned a ladder out of a tree branch and convinced six of his friends to bust out. they scaled the zoo wall and broke into an area that is

accessible only by the zoo employees and took six hours, but they lured them back, and you know what did it? the same thing that would work with me, malted milkballs. >> and a battle of the royal couple of and the high seas. the duchess of cambridge won two yacht races against her husband and of course, they had teams helping them sail in auckland, a harbor. >> and more yesterday after the big, big sell-off, and mandy drury is here with what is moving your money, and i know that you were all over this on your show, and what is happening now? >> well, it is not great, and started with the high flyers, chris, but it is spreading somewhat. the tech-heavy nasdaq and the russell 2000 with the smaller cap companies are closer, and closer to ending the correction territory and a correction is technically defined 10%. we are lower today, and part of the reason is that we had jpmorgan chase which is the first major wall street bank to

come out with the earnings which is posted below expectations. but again, the sentiment is shaky, and the dow is down 2%, and the s&p 500 is below that and nasdaq on track for the third straight weekly decline. here is the however, chris, and some say that the current weakness of the stock market may not last, because there are expectations of better economic growth, and we have low interest rates and they are actually if you look at the 10-year getting lower. >> and so we will see what happens next week. in the meantime, this woke up people at my meeting with my team at 5:30, amazon is paying the workers to leave. >> yes, it is interesting thing, and they say, hey, if you are not happy here, leave. go find something that you like better. and so amazon is going to pay you a bonus up to $5,000 to leave. it is called pay to quit. if you are there for only a year, you will eligible, and get $2,000 of severance there, but the headline offer is, please

don't take this offer. we hope that, you know, that they have come out and said, hey, we hope that you don't take the offer, because we want you to stay, but if you are not happy, so be it. and it is only the workers in the fulfillment scenters where the customer orders are pack and shipped off to you and only those people are eligible for the program. >> all right. cnbc's mandy drury, have a good weekend. >> you sh, too. and we have all experienced frustration and it is so easy to hate on the airlines and now a new report is out thoo says which airlines generate the most complaints, and number 4 is american airlines and united is third, and second is frontier airlines and the airline with the most customer complaints is spirit airlines. by the way, the airline with the least is southwest. a link to the full report sup at jansing@msnbc.com. defiance is in our bones. defiance never grows old. citracal maximum. calcium citrate plus d. highly soluble, easily absorbed.

here's another reason to lose the baby weight after childbirth. canadian researchers showed that gaining weight after childbirth can increase health risks including higher blood pressure, and cholesterol and glucose levels. one major criticism of the paul ryan budget, is the massive cuts to the food assistance programs, and the gop-led house narrowly pass ed the budget thursday, but it won't get through the senate, be if it did, it would cut an estimated $150 billion from the food stamp program in the next decade and this fight is going to continue at a time when 49% of americans are suffering from food insecurity and including 8 million children, and now the washington post is reporting that the food insecurity is a problem for college kids and not only a dramatic number of rise of universities who have had to open up student food banks, but

there are numbers that suggest it could be higher that on the national averages. and joining us is bravo's top chef producer, tom colicchio, and samantha heller, a registered dietician. so the figures have been jumping, and others are recognizing that they may have to have a food bank on colleges, and what is going on here, tom? >> well, when you have a record number of people who are using food stamps, and many more would use them if they applied. and we have a problem across every county in this country, has hunger, and it is not surprising at all that college kids are also feeling this. and if you look at, you know, kids, and we know that the education is the sort of path to upper mobility, and yet the college kids are coming to school, hungry ark and they can't learn, and they are already at a disadvantage, and

so it is just, you know, it is not surprising at all. >> and many of them come from the homes where they are the first one to go the college, and so they don't have example set that they are already facing that. >> sure. >> and samantha, we hear about the young kids the kindergartens and the first graders and the elderly having to choose between food and medicine and now students are saying, buying a book and having something to eat, what are the implications, the very real implications of that physiologically? >> well, when you are in college, you are still growing and you need all of the nutrients and the proteins and the carbohydrates and the fats, and we want our kids to eat healthy, and they will buy fastball, because they believe it is cheaper. around the country, the food banks are being stressed, because the food stamp program is cut so drastically, so as consu consumers what we can do now, and what we say does not resonate in washington that well is to donate to the local food

bank and go to the local colleges to start some community activism, and get them healthy to see what they can do to get healthy in an affordable way and stretch the dollars, and there are ways to educate them, but we have to get the programs in plac place. >> yes. >> and tom, we have to take the next step, right? >> well, we are make it difficult for the college students to get snap. to qualify for s.n.a.p., you have to be in college 20 hours a week working, and it is tough for them -- >> if you get food, and to know where to cook it and how to cook it. >> right. and currently, you cannot use the food stamps or the snap dollars for prepared foods. so maybe you can use that for a meal plan. there are ways to fix this, but it is something again that the congress has to make up their mind if they want to see 50 million americans hungry in the country, or fix the problem, and paul ryan's budget of cutting

another $125 billion from the prom gra not the way to go. >> and another big story we saw yesterday that walmart is making a big change. they want to make or gganic foo accessible to more people. they want to sell it about 25% less than other organic foods, because it is more expensive and that keeps it out of the budget of a lot of people, and walmart takes in 18% of the nation's food stamps, and that is 13 billion dollars, and so my question is, is that really more nutritio nutritious? >> well, not necessarily. organically broccoli is going to have the same components burk it is the whole scythe -- zeitgeist, and we are not poisoning the soil or the animals. so a recent nielsen report said

that the millennials are interested in going green, and support in that, but maybe some drawbacks as well. >> and tom, will it help more people eat better? >> well, walmart is doing it, because there is a demand for it, and 91% of the shoppers are asking for organic food, and they would buy it if it is cheaper, and this is good for the producers and the customers, because more farmers are going to be producing organic. if they are squeezing the small farmer that is not good, because they are stressed enough and they can't lower the prices. the real boon is to the environment, because you have more and more people to start growing organically or hopefully they will, and you will have more organic food in the supply chain, and that is great for the soil. 30 years ago our soil contained 20% carbon and the carbons that are in the atmosphere are actually held in the bill, and now it is 2 to 3%. >> wow. >> because of to amount of

pesticides that we are using and destroying the soil through the way we are growing our products. but this comes from the g.m.o. labeling. so this is a win for the environment. >> and maybe if we can support the walmart approach to the organic farming, we can support them supporting the local farmers to get less of the squeeze out, because supporting the local farmers is what we need to do as well. >> this is for prepared foods and not fresh produce. >> and don't you think it is going to go that way though? >> well, the problem is that the supply chain for local organic and they have tried it at walmart, and they could not do it, because they could not su create a supply chain. and so that is why they could not do it. >> thank you both for coming in

to talk about this. and there is a picture of the rose garden where president obama is going to formally announce that kathleen sebelius is going to be stepping down as hhs secretary, and expected to nominate sylvia burwell to replace her. ...all day relief. hmm. [bell ring] "roll sound!" "action!"

louis-dreyfuss is responding to "rolling stones" cover flub. the star appears wearing a tattoo of the u.s. constitution, but it is signed by john hancock who signed the declaration of independence and not the constitution, and first she blamed it on the drunken stupor but then yesterday said it is a birthmark. she posted this 1962 throwback thursday pik to prove it. there it is. she had it all along. fo former massachusetts senator scott brown wants to prove his political career is not over, and hoping to capitalize on the

disfaction are with the obamacare, he threw his hat into the new hampshire race yesterday, and he is going to be up against democrat jean shaheen. and the president is going to be in the rose garden to announce the resignation of kathleen sebelius, and the new h hhs secretary is coming over from office of management and budget. mark murray, the political adviser, in washington, and we have not seen them together in a long time, but it is really sylvia burwell in the spotlight, and what are we expecting to hear from? >> well, praise of kathleen sebelius, and the president will mark the 7.5 million americans who have enrolled on the health care exchanges and try to send her off on the positive note despite the last few months that were disastrous for the hhs s secretary in the administration, but it is going to be president obama and the democrats to say it is time to move forward with the millions of americans who have enrolled and time to talk

about the positives of the website and the rollout, and not dwell on what happened several months ago, and of course, the republicans are chompiamping at bit here, because they want to relitigate it and put it right back in the spotlight. it is interesting, because the health care had dropped as an issue, particularly as they cleared the 7 million mark of the people enrolled in health care exchanges, but the republicans as soon as this happened, we saw so many press releases, and the republicans will talk about it again and again. >> and we have kristen welker with us at the white house, and with the nomination of sylvia burwell, and given how frankly important obamacare is in the midterms, it is going to be a tough confirmation process or are they gearing about it? >> well, it is contentious, chris, but i don't think that there is a lot of concern here at the white house that the sylvia matthews burwell will be confirmed, because she is a former clinton official, and popular here in washington, and

unanimously nominated a year ago, and the program is starting now, chris. >> yes, this is the president and kathleen sebelius, and we will listen. >> good morning, everybody. [ applause ] hey. [ applause ] >> all right. everybody, have a seat. have a seat. >> that is great.

>> have a seat. good morning. >> good morning. >> in my sixth year in office, i am extraordinary grateful to have so many aides and advisers who have been there since the earliest days. but it is still somewhat bittersweet when any of them leave for new endeavors even when their successor is wonderful. in early march, kathleen sebelius, my secretary of health and human services told me that she would be moving on once the first open enrollment period under the health care act came to an end, and after five years of extraordinary service to the country, and 7.5 million americans have signed up for coverage through the exchanges, she has earned that right.

i will miss her advice. i will miss her friendship, and her wit, but i am proud to nominate somebody to succeed her who holds the same traits in abundance, sylvia matthews burwell. [ applause ] >> now a couple of things about kathleen. when i nominated kathleen more than five years ago, i had gotten to know kathleen when she was governor at kansas and had shown extrooaordinary skills there, and was a great adviser and supporter in my presidential campaign, and so i knew that she was up for what was a tough job. i mentioned to her h ththat one

the many responsibilities at hhs is to make sure that the country is prepared for the pandemic flu outbreak, but i did not know that at the time that is literally her first task and nobody remembers that the now, but it was. and that gives you a sense of the sorts of daily challenges that kathleen has handled often without fanfare, and often unacknowledged but have been critical to the health and the welfare of the american people. she fought to improve children's health from birth to kindergarten. expanded maternal health care. reduced racial and ethnic dispair tis, and brought us closer to the first aids-free generation, and tireless advocate for women's health. and of course, what kathleen will go down in history for is serving as the secretary of health and human services when the united states of america finally declared the quality of affordable health care is not a

privilege, but it is a right for every single citizen of these united states of america. [ applause ] ath lean has been here throu through -- kathleen has been here through the long fight of the implementation of the health care act. and it has been long and rough, and she has bumps, and i have got bruises and bumps as she has, but she did it because of all of the people that we have met across the country who had lost a home, had put off care, had decided to stay with the job instead of starting a business,

because they were uncertain about their health kcare situation. we had met families who had seen the children suffer, because of the unsecertainty of health car. and we were committed to getting this done. and that is what we have done. and that is what kathleen has do done. yes, we lost the first quarter of open enrollment period with the problems of healthcare.gov, and there were problems. but, under kathleen's leadership, her team at hhs turned the corner, got it fixed, got the job done, and the final score speaks for itself. there are 7.5 million people across the country that have the security of health insurance, and most of them for the very first time, and that is because of the woman standing next to me here today, and we are proud of her for that.
