so this came to clare barton who brought it to the attention of edwin on the secretary of the war.and he established a mission that included clare barton and others to go down to andersonville to see if they could use that list to identify the graves of andersonville. and they in fact did use the list is identified a very large percentage over 12,000 of the dead in an excursion in the summer of 1865 immediately after the war back. so once again, there was a kind of improvised way of turning up a very wide identification of the dead and andersonville. >> doctor faust, a couple more things before we close off the evening. first, i noticed a number of you indicated your harbored identities when you talked. yay all of 67.

barton said here. before reform, the individual insurance market was dysfunctional, premiums would shoot up if people got sick, coverage could be canceled if they had a pre-existing condition, and they did not have secure quality coverage. now, i heard my republican colleagues say that patient health insurance will be at risk in this application process and this is flat out also. a giant leap forward for protecting health insurance by taking it out of the insurance application process and banning discrimination based on pre-existing conditions. mr. barton again is raising this red herring just like the cancellation of insurance by talking about privacy. madame secretary, prior to the aca when people applied for insurance coverage, did insurers make them provide an invasive medical history but because the law bans discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, they do not need to provide this information in their applications. please comment on the privacy issue and why it's irrelevant. >> in the past
