and i've seen these reforms at work throughout the state of connecticut. this issue is of national importance, but it hits hospitals and providers in every one of our states. i've seen it and listened to folks who work at places like st. vincent' vincent's and brids hospital, yale-knenew haven, middlesex hospital, all around the state of connecticut i've seen the checklist at work, the protocols for hand washing, the increased attention to quality care that also has helped -- hed reduce costs. they have helped improve patient care while reducing cost. and they reject this false choice between quality and cost cutting. both are possible. both are essential. we hear so much rhetoric about the affordable care act in washington, but in connecticut we see tangible examples of how it's working and making a difns. the implementation of the affordable care act is an historic opportunity for continuing this work and expanding it nationwide, and we need to continue our dedication to health care reform. my colleagues and i have come to the floor today to call for sma

if you were still a house democrat representing connecticut five. by the way, your replacement voted with the republicans on this. if you were still in connecticut 5, what do you need from the president to make your re-election easier? what do you need from him? >> what will make this exchange work is that people sign up for it. so what we need from the administration is a huge public relations campaign. which they're doing. i would argue they're maybe not doing it enough in states like connecticut where wear running these state-based exchanges. that really is the difference between this being an election year issue and it being a success. so we need the administration out there. letting people know especially those younger voters and those younger consumers in their 20s and 30s how good those exchanges will be. if people sign up, then this thing is going to be a relative success. even in the beginning and middle of next year. so that's really what we need from the president. i get it. there are a handful of democrats that voted against the bill in

we found 23,000 people in connecticut who had serious mental illness, recurrent major depression, all of whom had been hospitalized. we brought together the records from the criminal justice system, from the mental health system, from the courts, and we looked at their risk in every month over an eight-year period of time of committing a violent crime as a function of whether they were disqualified, and patrolling for a bunch of other predictors. these are involuntary versus the voluntary. involuntary are people with serious mental illness who had a disqualifying health record. you'd expect them to have higher risk of violent crime, just because the criteria for getting committed are correlated with that. now, the comparison group are volunteer. they don't have a gun disqualifying mental health record. and as you can see, from 2002 to 2006 or so, the rate of violent crime is coming down. that's the risk every month. but then after 2007, something happened. what happens is the state of connecticut began to report records to the national instant criminal background check system. so now,
