alaska natives more than anyone helped her win that write-in.ent joking that they helped most alabamians learn how to spell the word murkowski. that group's meeting with the senator they helped elect today is important, potentially vote swaying news. but i got to tell you, even though we're sort of on pins and needles wondering how that meeting went, this crucial time with this crucial vote with this crucial constituency, undecided senator, when the democrats only need two and she's one of them, we don't know anything about that meeting today except that it was scheduled. and the reason we don't know anything about it is at least in part because the anchorage daily news reporter who published that story last week on senator murkowski's kavanaugh vetting process, her name is erica martinson. erica martinson was laid off yesterday. erica martinson was the entire washington, d.c. bureau of anchorage daily news, the only people in the state covering now that her reporting is gone, we are all left, all of us in this country are left with a political

i am the president and ceo of the alaska state hospital and nursing association. thank you for having me here to testify today. healthcare providers face a variety of burdens, from state, local and other registrations -- other regulations. i will speak on the impact of this on our system. healthcare providers and regulators share the same goals. providers wreck -- providers recognize the framework that allows them to focus on patients rather than paperwork and use resources for healthcare quality. we appreciate recent work, but given the amount of regulation and the pace of change, must more -- change, more must be done. the direct cost was quantified in a recent report. hospitals and health systems must comply with 629 discrete regulatory requirements across nine domains, spending $39 billion annually on activities related to regulatory compliance. for a facility with 160 beds, this equates to spending over $7.5 million annually on compliance. for skilled nursing facilities, the cost of complying exceeds $735 million annually, or nearly $100,000 per building. thi

in the state of alaska we've got 17. 17 facilities.we are in a situation where we get the benefit i guess, of about 30% surveys. cms surveys five each year, so it's about 30%. you put that in, in a state like california, i don't know how many facilities they have, but we all know it's well over 17. you mentioned in your testimony that the rural areas simply lack scale. and with this particular regulation, you can see how the lack of scale forces even greater costs on a facility. because of these requirements. you've got civil penalties that you have to deal with. and just the reality of undergoing the frequency of these surveys. can you speak just briefly to this issue of scale? in our rural facilities? and how regulations just like this can add to the already heightened costs? >> sure, thank you for the chance to answer that question. so you accurately describe the minimum of five rule. i actually do happen to know that in california, has 1200 skilled nursing facilities, so that means they receive a federal survey once every 20 years,

we have seen legalization path in some pretty blue states like washington, california, maine, and alaska. we have not seen it in the battleground states, the purple states, but now with michigan they are starting to move into those states. host: and a place where there has been spending on ads for and against, same thing with these estates? aest: marijuana has attracted little bit of money here and there, and the cal point initiative was an expensive one when that passed a few years ago. but the interesting part of the evolution of marijuana legalization initiatives is that industry is figuring out that this is a big moneymaker. and when marijuana goes legal, many businesses can make a lot of money. so they start spending on that. and the fascinating part is, in some cases the people spending against marijuana legalization are people who run medical marijuana facilities, because they have a monopoly and they want to protect that. why open it up to the legalization side? so they'll spend money against that. host: now is the time to talk ballot measures.

she actually lost the republican primary in alaska for her own seat to a far-right challenger.r to try to keep her seat in the senate, she had to run as a write-in, which is almost impossible to win, right? but her most stalwart allies in that political storm were native alaskans who stood by her with votes and not incidentally, a ton of last-minute money for ad buys. she told them at the time, "i will fight for you as long as i am able." she owes her seat in the senate to the native alaskan communities, and they are now reminding her of that in the local press in alaska, and also in the hallways of the senate where they are delivering the message that her vote to confirm kavanaugh could, quote, be a death knell for native alaskans. that's some of the pressure on senator murkowski from native alaskan voters who saved her bacon in 2010. do not vote to confirm brett kavanaugh. as for senator collins in maine, we've talked on this show about the voluminous and somewhat unnerving evidence that came out last week that brett kavanaugh may have lied under oath about a range of issues,
