i am going to say more about medicare advantage. clearly medicare advantage in recent years has been striving. the affordable care act reduced payments for medicare advantage and the expectation was enrollment in those plans would go down because they did not have the opportunity to provide extra benefits. ppo, actuary, everyone was flat out wrong. since payments were cut in the affordable care act, medicare advantage has grown dramatically. it is now about one third of the program. even though congress and the administration may not be taking efforts to reform the medicare program radically, beneficiaries are doing that. why? probably because in a lot of areas of the country, medicare advantage plans are being overpaid, there has been issues about risk adjustment in medicare advantage leading to higher payment, there are quality bonuses in the program that may or may not be tied to research suggesting that the higher plans are better for beneficiaries. i think there air -- are a lot of issues around medicare advantage that need --.

slight upward pressure mostly due to the medicare advantage. the issue i mentioned earlier, as well as some legislation. things like caps have somewhat upward pressure on the short range part b costs. and long range. part d, there's more activity here. you can see here, the projections from 2018 are much lower than they were in the short range. for the prescription drug program than what was projected last year. this is largely due to more rebates coming into the program. that basically part d plans reviewing are negotiating more rebates from manufacturers. as well as a decline, it's not something we usually see in any health program. a decrease in expenditures for a major source of expenditures. a decline in the spending for hepatitis c drugs. that was a significant cost driver. similarly, there's been a slow down in some diabetes drugs that has contributed to this slowdown in the short range. looking at the clang from last year to this year, you can see this year's report very close in the current year's expenditures. you can see these a litt

, game the system to their advantage. many of the changes that could be considered, you know, areno doubt -- and this is one -- you know, we all understand in this room that health care is complicated. and if you talk about ideas such as defined contribution, let's say going in the direction of premium support in medicare, the issues around risk adjustment that plague medicare advantage, will be even more important in that kind of a situation. because then traditional medicare would end up being risk adjusted. if you talk about raising the age of eligibility for medicare, then you have to think about, what is the implications of that, assuming the aca stays in place for the aca marketplaces. so there's a lot of domino effects here that happen. yeah, >> look, we did a lot of price regulation, you know, beginning in the 1980s, you mentioned the perspective payment system, when we adopted that, that was designed, if i recalldirectly, and joe, you were there in the reagan administration, when we did that in the reagan adminis

a three to one advantage of lopez obrador over the pri in this region. this explains a lot why we have right now lopez obrador at a level that has him being the expected or kind of unique in this regard, because we are used to having a lot of electoral fragmentation. it was very difficult for a candidate to get over 40% support. nowadays, we have lopez obrador at 47%. some other important changes -- look at gender. there has always been a base of support -- males have always been a base of support for lopez obrador, in a higher proportion than females. but that is not the case anymore. what happened in the campaign is that lopez obrador was favored to gain the female vote, especially after the accusations against ricardo anaya. at the beginning of the campaign, there was a tie in the female vote between anaya and lopez obrador. after the accusations, the advantage of lopez obrador has increased a lot. that is also part of the explanation of what happened with the dynamics of the campaign. it was very competitive at the beginning of the year, but later on

shows comfortable needs. , a hugeat the data advantage. e data, it is a huge advantage, about 27 percent, 47 to 27. mexicanook at the newspapers and media, you will see there is a lot of debate about who is going to be in the second place. if you look at the statements made by the candidates, you would think they are giving a very serious fight for second place. this is kind of incredible. that has been the logic of the campaign, because as you can see -- lopez obrador is the only candidate who has increased his lead since the beginning of the campaign. if you look at the aggregate numbers, lopez obrador in points inad 38%, 39% electoral preferences. right now it is 47-48%. if you compare these numbers with november, december of late last year, lopez obrador has increased his support about 10 to 12%. the other candidates have not moved that much. probably the most important february, place in when there were all these criticisms or accusations of money laundering against ricardo which turned into increasing support for lopez obrador and an

frankly, our competitive advantage is not what it once was. our advantage on the battlefield not what it once was, still better than anybody else but not as overwhelmingly better as we were at one time. for us to continue to be successful, we have to maintain that military advantage. we have to counter our potential adversaries. as senator rounds just mentioned, we have to look at the new potential of cyber warfare, being sure that our cyber advantage, our technological advantage can't be disrupted because someone else has developed a way to get into our systems better than we've developed ways to defend them. that's not an acceptable conclusion. so we need to work to defend an international order that has advanced our security, that has advanced our prosperity, and that our allies and partners are an intricate part of. this requires us to be sure that we're always ready. the secretary of defense mattis and senior leaders of the department of defense have spent a lot of time crafting the national defense strategy. this bill makes it possible f

nato's advantages to bear. russia is not the soviet union any more. russian ground forces about a quarter of the size of where they were at the beginning -- or midway through the decline in 1991. so 350,000 in the ground forces the airborne troops and naval infantry. they also still rely on a lot of 12-month conscripts. so these are draftees brought into the service that get about four months of training, spend eight months in the service, and then they're gone. they have -- since about 2015, 2016, they now have more contract soldiers than conscripts in service, but they're still very reliant on these short-term conscripts. so with that and some of these other challenges facing them, we think that if they were compelled to take action, they would try to benefit from surprise -- they would try to conduct the operation very quickly, and then they would try to terminate the conflict as quickly as possible. in light of that longer-term disadvantage. so there's actually plenty of historical cases where russia has do

when we want to talk about the advantages of trade and advantages of modernizing nafta, we find governorsre extremely strong allies in that. members of congress are as well. they know, they see within their communities all the jobs that come from smooth access to the canadian market. the u.s. sells more goods every year to canada than it does to china, japan, and the u.k. combined. we are their number one customer, and there is no question that any disruption of that flow of goods would be terrible for the canadian economy, but also terrible for a lot of u.s. jobs in an awful lot of industries. so, making sure that we are making the case for something that quite frankly a lot of americans take for granted, and rightly so. we ave always been there and worked seamlessly together, so highlighting the benefits of what we have always had has been the work we have done and i have to say that across political parties, the level of cooperation on this issue -- you will know that there are lots that i disagree with the other parties in the house -- but on this issue of renegotiating nafta and the
