mrs. clinton, i'm really delighted to see you here. my father just passed away, as did yours. and we started going through his papers, we found a letter he wrote around 50 years ago. complaining about the fact that a doctor wouldn't come to my mother, because they couldn't afford to pay the bill. she suffered for the rest of her life, because of an illness that might have been controlled. so i know it was my father's dream, as well. and is others around this country that we finally have guaranteed access to care for all in americans. that's really what the core of the president's proposal is all about. and some of us who have worked in this area for a long time have felt that we needed a president who was willing to take the bold leadership to deal with this difficult issue. i used to think that would be enough. now i know that what we needed more was also a first lady like yourself to give us the expertise and guidance you've had and given us in preparing this plan before us. the crux of the whole issue is that we have everybody get comprehensive set of benefits. your proposa

mrs. clinton, i want to congratulate you. i've watched chairman green span show up to tables like that with a whole list of people helping him. and is i've seen cabinet officers from the bush administration. so you making a winning statement by showing up all by yourself on this table and i want to compliment you on that. my question goes a little bit further than my colleague's from virginia's question, concerning the limit on insurance premiums to the cpi and to the population. and we move that when we start talking about insurance premiums in the commercial sector. you are in effect limiting the amount that doctors and hospitals can reimburse for hospital cares. and i -- my concern is, by this limit that you're doing, aren't you going to make the patients get less care, and in the end, this will lead to higher cost sharing on the part of the patient? >> well, mr. stearns, we do not believe so. and let me give you just a couple of examples of the great mass of evidence that would support our belief. first of all, there is s

mrs. clinton appealed to the international community to speak with one voice that the killing of innocent syrians must stop. meanwhile syrian opposition groups have accused government forces of killing up to 47 people in what they have called a cold-blooded massacre. our middle east editor jeremy bowen reports from the u.n. >> a year of deadly force since the syrian uprising started. this is where it began. this appears to show unarmed demonstrators running away from regime bullets. elsewhere it's become an armed insurrection against the regime. the rebels are getting more skillful attacking an armoured vehicle, but the president's men are still much stronger. accurate journalism is difficult without being there, but this, according to reports from holmes, was the aftermafingt a massacre of civilians including children. the man filming this burning building in holmes asked if the world is watching, please save us, he says. coffeia annan is watching and was received in damascus over the weekend. the president with his open supporters and a still strong army believes he is in a fight he can

mr. clinton, this goes back to the chief justice that a question -- but of course, the theory behind not just the government's case but the theory behind this law is that people are in this market right now, and they are in this market because people do get sick and because when people get sick, we provide them with tear without making them pay. and it would be different. if you were up here sitting i represent a class of christian scientist, then we might be able to say, look, why are they -- but absent that, you are in this market, and economic actor. >> but it depends on which market the talking about. if you are talking about the health care insurance market. >> we are talking about the health insurance market which is designed to access the healthcare market. >> and with respect to the health insurance market that is designed to have pavement and the healthcare market, everybody is not in the market. and that of the premise of the statute and that's the problem congress is trying to solve. and it tried to sell the through incentives, we would be here, but it's try to solve it in a w

secretary of state hillary clinton she addressed the council shortly after mr lavrov and she said that now is the time for the international community to stand behind a humanitarian and political approach spelled out by the arab league we do know that the arab league the arab league plan put forth several approaches including calling on syrian president bashar al assad to step down and hand over his power so as we could see now it seems that the sides at least russia and the u.s. still remain as divided as they have been because russia will not support any moves for regime change put forth by the international community and that is something that mrs clinton in her speech said that the international unity should report so should support out there so it seems as though those two parties remain as divided as they have been all right. that life in new york do keep us posted on this ongoing you're meeting on syria thank you absolutely. well a number of key staff of al jazeera is arabic channel have resigned over the television stations coverage of the ongoing syrian conflict those who left

in connection with with mrs clinton can order no you can supersize order and the double door steps that all our clocks taken over a four of our day to moderate this christmas give a gift to the woman who loves every for a great gift artillery couldn't hazard or thought and here are some of the more outrageous things he said over the years of. just like political correctness is a political tool little effort to shut people down sexual harassment as a political tool of the left to get rid of people or to score money gains them a competitor to said i don't leave it up to the government to make good decisions for americans she was talking about obama mandating that the catholic church provide contraception we expect from a woman dr feminism was established so as to allow other track if women easier access to the mainstream of society. so why did this slot come it nearly bring him down after all frankly in my opinion it's because the republican party is entering a moderate phase this wave theory that i've talked about a number of times where you see the republican party going its face doesn'

any moves for regime change put forth by the international community and that is something that mrs clinton in her speech said that the international community should support so it seems as though those two parties remain as divided as they have that. a number of key staff and arabic channels have resigned over the television stations coverage of the syrian conflict those who left accuse the contrary oh network of politicizing news and of bias against president assad i correspond to slip as more. we receiving information now about the reported resignations of key employees in al-jazeera office and they are claiming that the channel has a very provocative stance and has been involved in agenda sating biased reporting these resignations include the managing director the correspondent and the producer and specific reports that we are hearing particularly from a correspondent is that al-jazeera refused to publish pictures of armed fighters clashing with the syrian army and in addition also ignored every full rein them on the new constitution in syria by comparison the channels coverage of event

the tap it you don't have to invade iraq and there's there's a lot of things you don't have to do mrs clinton for example and ambassador rice at the u.n. and president obama are out to kind of feminize the islamic world now. when professor huntington talked about the clash of civilizations i'm quite sure that he thought it would come from the muslim side but what is happening now is it's coming from harvard and columbia and and the rest of the ivy league schools who believe it's american america's mission to impose secularism feminism and democracy i'm muslims are maybe they're just excuses for other geo political interests to i want to continue this discussion we just have to go to war. we don't have to go to. break for you and i thank you for the right and left pretty appropriate nonetheless we will be back with much more with michael scheuer. and to lead remember these while they may have been phased out last year the terror threats i'm talking about the color coded ones that we are so recognizing ten years of their existence will give you our three cents on where the red to green day got

conversations about this school in the news and talk in this week than i've ever thought of before mrs clinton at the time that more cut off he was murdered. over his death she said on camera and it's on my website if anyone would like to see it we came we saw he died and then she started laughing. to me that was one of the most on diplomatic things i've ever heard a u.s. official do laugh at the death of a foreigner however vile a man he was but simply not what one does and so by using words that some people might find offensive to describe the secretary i was trying to draw a contrast between an act of laughing at someone's death and naughty words that we've all heard before and asking the question truly which of these is more obscene in the state department's view party talk is more obscene than laughing over the death of world leaders and tests i actually have from a legal perspective and i've seen you say this too that you think that if you work at a private company and there with them it's came off as insubordination. by go ahead by me you have the right to do that but you think that it'

mrs. clinton could not ever win a state big enough to make it up. santorum finds himself now and santorum has to fight a two-front war, he has gingrich on the one side and romney on the other. romney only has to worry about santorum. santorum has to worry about gingrich. this is helpful in the long run to santorum, because it takes away a significant number of votes that gingrich is getting would clearly go to santorum. >> rich, thank you for your perspective, you've been in and done that, you know of what you speak. thanks for being with us. still ahead, we will talk to the u.s. ambassador ryan crocker and a verdict in the webcam spying case that shook the nation. send me your thoughts. this is "andrea mitchell reports" only on msnbc. hey, this is challenger. i'll be waiting for you in stall 5. it confirms your reservation and the location your car is in, the moment you land. it's just another way you'll be traveling at the speed of hertz. but when she got asthma, all i could do was worry ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my han

mrs. clinton did not suspend her campaign until june 7th of that year. you may remember that john mccain had the nomination wrapped up by this time in 2008. of course, mr. obama defeated mr. mccain by a substantial margin so it doesn't really matter how long the primary process goes. and it is easy to see why mitt romney is having a hard time nailing down the nomination. 40% of americans describe themselves as conservative. most of those folks will vote for the most conservative candidate which happens to be rick santorum. so that's why these votes are close. senator santorum is a very big advantage in conservative states like oklahoma. looking ahead, anything could happen in the general election next fall. it should come down to the economy, including gas prices. also, there could be a showdown with iran and that could influence the vote as well. right now, both the president and the republic candidate, whoever it is. are pretty much even. the election could go either way. in the meantime, alabama, mississippi, and kansas are coming up next. santorum an

mrs. clinton wanted to play a policy and did play a substantive role and some of it worked and some less wellequent for taking a lesson and what work and what didn't. >> it's funny that you say this. this is generational. we had the baby boomer first ladies. michelle obama with a close baby boomer and all were working women and raised kids and were in. it seems that i got the chance that with laura bush and president obama, they have to play an old fashioned role. >> one of the lessons from hillary clinton is the country has not cut up with the idea of a first lady being an independent actor in the role of first lady. they want her to be second to the president. fining something to do is uniquely her own and a challenge for each of the first ladies. michelle obama found that role in her healthy eating and exercise. that has been effective, but she was not able to advocate what's on the president's agenda. the country is not there. >> not there yet. >> a political front. she is a more effective fund-raiser. she gets more. was this the case with hillary? the spouse is a better fund-raiser than
