cosponsor of this legislation, and i appreciate very much working with senator ensign and senator martinez on the one hans side, so many others as well. let me describe what this issue is. the fact is, there's an effort to attract international tourism around this world. why is that the case? because international tourists -- that is, people that visit other countries -- spend a lot of money and create a lot of jobs. they sport airlines, support hotels, support recreation facilities and theme parks. they -- and, plus, they have a chance to understand a little about that country before we go back home. so many countries around the world are very actively engaged in saying come to our country. they have very aggressive, very sophisticated promotion campaigns saying, come to our country. we don't. but they do. here's an example of india. "one special reason to visit india in 2009. any time is a good time to visit the land of taj. but there's no time like that. incredible india." well, india is very interested, very promotional saying, come to india. but it's not just india. here's ireland. a

senator martinez, the senator from florida, and i have introduced legislation. we believe it will cut the figure down dramatically and make sure more of that money goes to treat medicare beneficiaries, rather than being stolen or defrauded by some unscrupulous health care providers. medicaid only works as well as as it does because cost-shifts are shifted to people with private insurance. economists will tell us cost shifting occurs whenn a health care provider accepts low government reimbursement rates but can only do so if it anticipates collecting higher rates from those with private insurance. this cost shifting acts like a hidden tax on millions of american families and small businesses. one respected actuary estimates that cost shifting increases the average american family's health care premium by more than 10%, or $1,500. that means those listening who have private health insurance, their family will pay $1,500 more each year because of the this cost shifting phenomenon because medicare and medicaid reimburse at below market rates. so those are hardly a

on that aisle on thursday, we had a discussion, senator reid, senator mcconnell, myself, senator martinez, and then back and forth in the cloakrooms, we offered amendments back and forth that -- just to get started on the bill. there wasn't a list that said here's the end-all. it said, let's just try get started. and all five of the amendments offered by the minority, we said, fine. have nothing to do with the bill but that's fine. you want to offer them? offer them. but don't come to the floor on monday saying that the majority's obstructing your right to offer an amendment for which we said you could offer. i mean, how do you explain in contradiction? and, again, my point, if this congress can't even agree on tourism, how's it going to agree on the -- how are we going to make progress on health care? how are we going to make progress on comprehensive energy legislation or climate change or a range of difficult international situations? how are we going to reach some sort of understanding that we represent one interest in this country? that ought to be the public interest in the united s

senator martinez. >> thank you, very much and ranking member hutchison for holding this hearing at a very, very important time. i will echo the remarks of so many of my colleagues about the importance of dealerships to communities and also the very question that senator just asked without a sales force how do you remain viable? but where i want to zero in and the questions i would like answered are very, very specific, which are two examples of dealerships that are closed in the state of florida. one is mr. press, miami tammy amy jeep dodge. he told me his dealership was perhaps the top seller in the south florida area and top in the country seems like the kind of dealership you would want to see continueed the other is in central florida holler chevrolet. i've grown up in central florida, holler is synonymous with chevrolet in the central florida region until bill hurt chevrolet ceased to exist, they were number two. presumed now since they are no longer around they would be the number one dealer in the central florida region how in the world does it make sense for a dealership like

and buck martinez, it's nice to have the confidence in the mound. they're looking for him to win the closing after the opener. >> he retired the last 14 batters that he face and he used a four-seam fastball affectively. you can see in his major league career he has a good e.r.a. and a 20-17 recordment he got away from that two starts ago in that he used the two seam fastball too much but the four seam sets up a very affective curveball. >> the orioles are turning to younger player as this transition continues. rimed old will be in the number two spot as dave tremly has shuffled things up. and he knows how to hit the long ball. >> reimold has power. he hit this three run home run against ziegler last night and he's been consistent with the power production. three-run homers we mentioned and leads the american league rookies in rbis. he's not hitting the average you would like to see but the power can't be questioned. he has a lot of confidence hitting in the big leagues. >> weiters is back in the lineup. -- weiters and hill worked well before. >> and
