hassan: this is one of the major differences between ovide and me. have a plan that would begin restoring the drastic funding cut that is the legislature that ovide supports imposed on our university system and at the same time freeze our tuition. and ovide has said that the cost of tuition in our university and college system is not of utmost concern to him. well, it is to me. and the people of new hampshire should understand that. we need to make sure that our colleges and universities are affordable for all of our students, not just those selected for a particular scholarship. because when we make sure that they can afford be school here, they will stay here to go to school, and they will be our work force of tomorrow. we're losing young people because it's less expensive to go to school in other states than it is here. so it's a major difference between the two of us. you know, this week ovide said that my focus on education, um, in terms of economic development is putting the cart before the horse. i don't think so at all. i think his approach i

track to creating sensible drug policies it's time lawmakers in washington got on board to another bad ovide lamontagne lamontagne is the republican nominee for governor of new hampshire he was asked by reporters whether pay equity laws like you lilly ledbetter fair pay act are proper exercises of government and rather than support the idea that women should make the same pay as men for the same work lamontagne told the reporter quote i don't know that it's appropriate for the government to continue to micromanage the workplace and quote new hampshire has one of the largest wage gaps in the nation and it looks like if mr lamontagne is elected in november he's content to let grow even more and now the very very young. really pastor robert j. anderson anderson spoke at a panel discussion this past weekend sponsored by the maryland marriage alliance the group trying to block the marriage equality ballot measure in maryland during his speech anderson quoted from the bible using scripture to infer that people are worthy of death he then went on to say in a little more bulb only stating quote if w

. >> why is this one pharmacy oviding medication to so many people? >> that's exactly right. compounding pharmacist have yewsed a great niche in taking care of patients. here what happened, because of medication shortages, we as physicians have tremendous shortages because of either cost or too much litigation in the united states. so a lot of products aren't made. so because of this, compounding pharmacists, we can do this on your behalf. so where it was, one or two viles for a particular patient, it now becomes thousands of viles are out there. so they are trying to fit a need. >> how does a patient protect him or herself? >> easy. the first thing they need is information. they need to be aware of who is their physician that is providing their care for them. what is your qualifications. two, when you go interview that physician, where do you get your medications? this is a very reasonable question to ask. where are you getting it from? are you getting it from a reputable pharmaceutical house or knockoff, maybe compounding agents or something like that. >> doctor, thank you.

. >> reporter: hassan's challenger is republican ovide lamontagne. he says democratic candidates are overstating the importance of women's issues to distract voters from the economy. >> in the course of over a year of campaigning across the state, attending house parties and um, and across the spectrum, i can't tell you that more than half a dozen times i've been asked questions about social issues. that is not a front burner issue at all. it's really not on the radar screen of any voter. the issues have only come up now in the general election. >> reporter: both president obama and former governor mitt romney-- a part-time resident of new hampshire-- have made the granite state a frequent stop on the campaign trail. they're both courting female voters-- here and across the country. >> dear daughter your share of debt is $50,000 >> reporter: but how women's issues will play out in this largely independent, libertarian-leaning state is anyone's guess. the same is true for economic issues; new hampshire's unemployment rate is just 5.7%, far lower than

ovide and his wife reside with their three children in this city of new hampshire.mer new hampshire senate majority leader. she and her son -- she and her husband live in exeter with their two children. our first question comes from kevin. >> the new hampshire senate for public policy read these reports and the new hampshire has powered the state's economy for decades is slipping away. what can be done to solve the problem? >> thank you, kevin, and thank you aarp new hampshire for sponsoring this debate. we are seeing an erosion of new hampshire advantage, largely because of the failed policies of the last 10 years, most of them led by maggie hassan and her colleagues. we have lost our rage because we have taken our eye off the ball, which has made new hampshire -- what has made a after exceptional is low government regulation, taxation and spending kept in check. i will begin with zero based budgeting for the state budget, looking at the statewide economic development plan, appointing a business advocates to the governor's office to be a champion for business, and

the most interesting contest to me is in new hampshire where ovide lamontagne who's been a perennial candidate has been dead even -- >> he was a student of yours, is that correct? >> he was a student of mine many years ago at catholic university. in other places where democrats had hoped to do well like north carolina they are not, in washington and in missouri where democrats thought that they were going to be in deep trouble, they're probably favored a little bit. there isn't much going on at the gubernatorial level this time because, of course, the big contests were in the midterm election last time, and that's going to be what's most interesting to watch two years from now, whether states continue to be 'em battled by an economy and there's a backlash against those economies many of whom like in states like michigan, ohio, florida and wisconsin remain popular, but that's something for another day. >> thank you very much, norm. because our panelists have been so very disciplined, we have a half an hour for your questions, and while you're thinking about your questions, i would lik

now, he says by not overpaying hospitals and oviders. actually, just going to them and saying we're going to reduce the rates you get paid across the board, everybody's going to get a lower rate, that's not just going after places where there's abuse, that's saying we're cutting the rates. some 15% of hospitals and nursing homes say they won't take any more medicare patients under that scenario. we also have 50% of doctors who say they won't take more medicare patients. this -- we have 4 million people on medicare advantage that will lose medicare advantage because of those $716 billion in cuts. i can't understand how you can cut medicare $716 billion for current recipients of medicare. now, you point out, well, we're putting some back, we're going to give a better prescription program. that's one dollar for every 15 you've cut. they're smart enough to know that's not a good trade. i want to take that $716 billion you've cut and put it back into medicare -- by the way, we can include a prescription program if we need to improve it. but t

. >> in the statement, what you were saying was that there was not sufficient resources ovided consideringthe coming together of what could have and turned out to be a catastrophic attack. would that be a fair representation of what you said? >> that was the main reason i continue to ask for those resources, yes. >> we had an informal, bipartisan meeting with you. in that, you relate something that i think is important. i ask you about the masses stevens, a skilled career -- i ask you about ambassador stevens, a skills career diplomat. he told me that when there was a perceived threat in is running, he ceased running. when you are able to come up with an acceptable way for him to run, he ran again, but only under your authority and recommendation. is that correct? >> yes, mr. chairman. >> did he do what you saw when you recommended it. did he chafe over what you thought was best for his security? >> at no time did i have concerns raised to me by ambassador stevens. the senior member of the mobile security deployment team routinely met with him and discussed general threats and specific con
