is on this is a moving into the wood west -- the midwest that is bringing icing conditions into arkansas and parts of tennessee. it will bring us a possibility for a wintry mix early tomorrow morning. temperatures now generally in a the 30's, which is a good 10 degrees milder than at this time yesterday. traveling to date thomas well, some icy spots in tennessee and into the midwest. i have more on the timing of the precipitation in my full forecast straight ahead. >> all right, eileen, we will see you then. breaking news now -- a mistrial declared in the case of a man charged with particular manslaughter in the death of a prince george's county police officer. bell joining us live from upper marlboro with the details. what happened in court today? >> a stunning development -- the jury in this case that the case yesterday afternoon, they delivered ford two hours, went home, at 1:00 this morning, the judge it's an e-mail from one of the jurors who said that because of her religious beliefs, she cannot judge another man, a mistrial had to be declared. let me give you a background, it was a

at a substantive level arkansas was looking to do the expansion they wanted it through private health plans. for the bass majority -- the vast majority you're already in their private health plan but that was not the case of arkansas. the notion to be a big change that the expansion would be through a private plane and is not the case or would not be the case for rose states but was a big deal. that was the focus there subsequently we have seen other states cut did with request approvals iowa and michigan with additional changes that they point charging premiums or co-payments id of course, of lot of attention of work requirements id we will talk later it where this might go we also see a lot of states there is a trigger word the state will automatically withdraw from the expansion of the government changes the terms back to the scaling there is a lot of mistrust so substantively what we see is all then grow wait efforts at the state level how to kraft a medicaid expansion for what the state had in mind but i do want to remind people this is not just opposition of people who would be

but that wasn't the case in arkansas. and so the notion of this being a big change that somehow the expansion was going to be through private plans actually sub substantively is not the case or wouldn't be the case for most states, but it was a big deal in arkansas. that was the focus there around private plans. subsequently, we've seen other states coming in with waiver requests and approvals -- iowa, michigan, pennsylvania's in the news a lot -- with additional changes that they want charging premiums, charging cost-sharing, co-payments. and then, of course, in pennsylvania a lot of attention around a work requirement which gets into a whole different domain. and we can talk -- we probably will talk a little later about where this might go. we also see a lot of states that are moving forward wanting to have some sort of a trigger where the state will automatically withdraw from the expansion if the federal government changes the terms and backs away from its 100% financing scaling back down to 90. there's a lot of mistr

mark is geordie goes from arkansas -- is joining us from arkansas. i won't probably watch. will probably listen to it on the radio. nobody seems to be visionary. there is no real new thought coming into government. you have us and them. the people do not have a voice. resin thated is the is the representative to what the people really want and need? nobody has talked about this reason wes there a are taxing individuals? should we be raising the personal exemption to a reasonable rate, like 100 grand? if you do not make 100 grand, you are poor. should be paying tax. they are not a legal entity. enslaving people? is there anybody that is going to take on something like this? host: thank you for the call from arkansas. this is from kevin -- she has written a few sit of the union addresses and other remarks. she has a piece in "the wall street journal. -- in "the wall street journal." she points out -- he has been a nonstop windup machine. the same self accusation and excuses. the network newsman leaned forward, intensely knotting. anchorman and surely something important is be

she was the arkansas insurance commissioner in my tenure as governor and my appointee. >> the state'sey general foiled a lawsuit saying that what the obama administration has done is illegal. why do you think that the lawsuit has merit? >> well, because i think they are exactly right. by excutive order, you can't just change what congress has passed. he can't just go in there and say oh, well, i know this was law, but it is not working and we don't like it. we'll change it on a whim. it will not work. >> a lot of people don't understand the process. he said we'll go a head and let the states if they want to keep the insurance, as a state insurance commissioner, you know that brings havoc to the industry. explain to the audience why does that make a big deal to the companies and regulators? >> there are so many things in the 2,000 pages and man dates and directives, and so many time lines to me, not only on the insurance state government, and on the federal government itself. it just would not work. there are so many things to change and look at. and as you come forward, you have finan

and my colleague from arkansas shared skpapl -- examples from here. senator johanns hears examples coming from his state. he represents people like those i represent in south dakota who in many cases make their living the same way but are experiencing the economic consequence of a bad policy, a failed policy, a bad law that was rushed through here and that they're now, the american people unfortunately are experiencing the adverse impacts of that on their own personal economic lives and in a broader sense on our economy nationally. higher costs, canceled coverages, fewer choices in the form of doctors and hospitals and fewer jobs for american workers that we want to get back to work. that's the real-world experience. there's a better way. the senator from missouri talked about many of those ideas, i hope the president would work with us to repeal this bad law and start over in a way that makes sense for the american people and for our health care economy and this country. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. johanns: mr. president? the presiding offi

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from arkansas is recognized for two minutes. mr. womack: thank you, mr. speaker. i, too, want to congratulate the chairman and to his ranking member and my colleague from arkansas, one of the committee members, mr. crawford, for their diligent work and coming up with this committee report. this was not easy, to say the least. that said, mr. speaker, because the senate's my way or the highway attitude, we're considering a conference report that does nothing to address an out-of-control agency, gipsa, from imposing on american companies regulations that go well beyond congressional intent. because of the senate's all or nothing approach, we're considering a conference report that will subject american industries and companies to retaliatory tariffs. for me it would be easy to vote against this conference report, but unlike my senate counterparts, i recognize that in divided government each side has to find common ground. ultimately, this report, like many of the other bipartisan agreements that had been signed into law, move the ball
