no employer is required to do anything but should they want to concentrate on making their bridget's rather than being in the health insurance business they would have the opportunity to do it. what they would give their workers would be tax-free to the employer, tax-free to the worker and once again, you bring the principles of choice and competition into the health care marketplace, move us closer to that day when the consumer can give the insurance company the ultimatum might envisioned which is treat me right or i go elsewhere. mr. president, i close by saying that in my view the majority leader has laid the foundation for a new health care marketplace. i would certainly like to do more distinguished senate and president know is this cosponsor of our bipartisan health the americans act. i would like to do more and i would like to do it faster. but make no mistake about it this is leading a foundation to create a new marketplace and american health care where that concept has been for him. to let people make apples to apples comparisons keep crummy products out in the exchange to

family members often find themselves in how to deal with the loss of income by the service member bridgetould not be forced to make. i would like to emphasize the army's dedication to our wounded warriors. our purpose is to see continued improvement. thank you for holding these hearings, and thank you for your continued support. i look forward to your questions. >> i would first of all like to thank the committee for allowing me to speak today on behalf of my husband. scott was severely injured in afghanistan, 2007. he suffered a severe brain injury and damage his frontal lobe and brain stem. he had two broken ribs, a pelvic fractures, so he sustained a very traumatic injury. however, the brain injury was the worst caribbean he is currently minimally conscious two years later -- brain injury is the worst. he is currently minimally conscious two years later. it has been challenging considering we as a country were not prepared to take care of the severely injured soldiers. many men and women are surviving injuries that would not have survived other wars because of the medical technology av

this-- thank you bridget. this is going to be a great day and make sure you enjoy it, giving your best. we respect you and look forward to your participation and it should be tremendous fun. their two small but important things i want to make it the outset before we get underway. first to say that members who wish to speak should stand in their place, or if you are in a wheelchair raise your hand and indicate that you do wish to speak in the debate. the second thing is, members should always say their name and their region at the beginning of their remarks. otherwise the writers will not know who you are. and if you can just pause very briefly for a few seconds before you start your speech, that will enable the mic to be activated. without further ado, we will be able to get underway now. order, order. the youth parliament will consider the first mission of the day relating to university education. as printed on the order paper, i called ms. funmi abari to move the motion. >> good morning everyone. the first d

as i mentioned, bridget coleman from achievable dream in my district has shown how can you do that. and one of the things we also know is we spend significant resources as a result of the consequences of our failing to properly educate our children. this hearing on this education issue is being held in the judiciary committee hearing room not only because there are civil rights being involved but also because of the strong correlation between prime and education. and the fact that if we failed to educate people, we end up spending a lot of money, a lot more money on crime than we should. this is the chart of incarceration rate in the world. all countries lock up between 50 to 100 people per 100,000. russia locks up over 600. and unfortunately, the united states is number one in the world at over 700 per 100,000 population. that's just part of the story. the other part of the story is that in the african-american community, we lock up on average 2200, that is the first purple bar per 100,000. and ten states lock up african-americans at the rate of over -- almost 4,000 per 100,000. no

cooper talking afterwards and the principal said something bridget we were talking afterward and the principal said something to me. it is not easy to be punitive but that is what they were talking about. he said that their truancy rates dropped significantly. behavioral problems have dropped significantly. i introduced a bill for the positive behavior for effective schools and hopefully we will be moving on that. it seems to me that you can be punitive toward you could do something that could be positive to reinforce them. this bill does another thing. i commend illinois for doing this. it trains teachers. it works with them on the standards. they have the opportunity when the plan is implemented that they understand what is involved. there is respect and different things are incorporated. it is an incredible plan and we should have it nationwide. this could be the entire solution. after hearing what i heard today, the two witnesses with their children, we cannot put up with this. as my friend from new jersey said, one is to many. listening to the numbers, they are scary. we know th
