new hampshire is one state that is dealing with a crisis.the second highest rate of opioid deaths relative to its population. i spoke with the state's republican governor, christopher sununu, a short time ago. and started by asking him why he does not support the current republican senate proposal. well, i think it's important to start off by understanding obamacare has failed, it is not sustainable, it is not affordable. specifically here in new hampshire, the healthcare exchange is really on the brink. we're looking upwards 40% cost increases to individuals. that's not affordable to anyone. i applaud the senate and the trump administration's efforts to take obamacare as a reform, that has to happen. that said, they're conflating two issues, looking at traditional medicaid entitlement reform which has to be a discussion in congress and obamacare reform. they're puppetting the two together. that's the end result. the cost implications are drastic to the state of new hampshire. 1.5 billion at best over the next ten years. that's not just a ch

it was-- johnson was stunned by gene mccarthy's winning new hampshire. techie, jean mccartney did not win, but he had a much higher about that anyone expected. gene mccarthy was supposed to get 10% and he got over 40% of the vote and that was played as a win. johnson was stunned by it, absolutely stunned by it and was not sure where to go. bobby kennedy was also stunned by it and when i did not know at the time, was a high school kid time watching this and what i did not know is that bobby kennedy had been thinking about running for president before gene mccarthy and the people who eventually talked gene mccarthy into running for president first try to talk bobby kennedy into running for president and bobby kennedy chose not to do it and he wished gene mccarthy at least at the beginning, were naturally meant that, but then when he saw what gene mccarthy achieved in new hampshire bobby kennedy announced right away that he was now-- he saw how weak johnson was. that's what bobby kennedy's reading of new hampshire was, not so much how strong mccarthy was, b

new hampshire is home to many other firsts. the first potato was grown here. america's first astronaut in space, alan shepard, was born here. as was the first free public library. - new hampshire is known as the granite state and it's because their number one natural resource is granite. this is a particularly good stone for building bridges, houses, even statues. and although the colony was first established for fishing, they quickly learned what the really had going on. - those nine stars around the border signify an additional claim to fame. after the revolutionary war, our new constitution required approval by nine of the 13 states. new hampshire made it happen by being the ninth state to ratify the famous document. with flag facts, i'm eric.

and every version would be devastating for people across new hampshire. these bills would lead to higher costs for worse coverage. in fact, the nonpartisan congressional budget office has said we would see even higher deductibles than the ones we already see. this proposal would decimate the medicaid program and end medicaid expansion. it would take coverage away from millions. the congressional budget office has projected that between 22 million and 32 million people would lose coverage, depending on which bill we vote on. we know that rising health care costs are squeezing hardworking people across america. i have made clear to my colleagues across the aisle that i'm willing to work with anyone who is serious about working together to build and improve on the affordable care act, to lower costs, but unfortunately these senate republican bills would do just the opposite. over the pass months, i have heard from people all across new hampshire. they have shared their most personal stories, their frustrations and their fears about what will happen if this b

kuster of new hampshire, if that's -- the chair: the gentlelady from new hampshire then will be allowed to close debate, close general debate for the minority. ms. castor: all right. then i'll finish and yield the balance of the time. the chair: all right. ms. castor: let me close my remarks in my portion of the debate here today. i have enjoyed this debate. but i want to highlight again that the congress is really missing an opportunity to address one of the most significant challenges that we face. and that's the challenge of climate change. but what's particularly troubling about this bill is as well is it keeps -- bill as well is it keeps the public in the dark. think about it. if you live near a major international pipeline project, shouldn't you have the right to participate in -- and understand what such project will allow in your backyard? the bill would allow large and long-lived cross-border energy projects to be approve with no understanding or consideration of their environmental impacts or to be exempted from any permitting requirement at all. the bill assumes that these pr

hampshire.e had to design our own systems where we were training our hr staff where employees would feel comfortable coming to talk to us knowing they had an issue, knowing we would not just fire them. something that occurred to me when i became governor was to create a recovery friendly workforce for employers. we are training hr staff, making sure employers know what resources are available. you go to a guy who owns a diner, and he says i knew so-and-so had an issue, and eventually he told me he was addicted to fence in all, and i had to let him go -- addicted to fentynal, and i had to let him go. that was bad for both of them. it is encouraging folks to come out of the woodworks. i know i am going to reenter the workforce in a way with an employer that is going to be supportive. that is the hardest thing coming out of recovery, knowing you will have the support system bute, not just from family, when you go to work every day you will be in a place where people will understand it. they will kn

we have seen highs of 28 degrees in a number of spots, hampshire, dorset into anglesey, western areasnd as well. all of these places warmer than they were yesterday. now our focus is turning away from heat and over towards thunderstorms. 0n the satellite picture there have been storm clouds into south—west england. 0ne picture there have been storm clouds into south—west england. one or two are working elsewhere across the central english channel threatening the isle of wight into hampshire and dorset in the next few hours. don't be surprised if you hear rumbles of thunder. this was the scene in plymouth today as fork lightning came down. this evening and overnight the storms will drive northwards. they will be hit—and—miss in nature. the rain from the storms will vary a bit as well. one or two could bring half a month's well. one or two could bring half a months worth of rainfall in the space of an hour or two, others not so much in the way of rain. it will bea so much in the way of rain. it will be a muggy night, temperatures no lower than 18 in london and cardiff. fresher air with

in doing that -- we've already seen, for example, our friend, the distinguished senator from new hampshire propose some additional mandatory cost sharing for insurance companies. now, according to the kaiser foundation, these are direct payments from taxpayers to insurance companies. so rather than working with us to try to make a course correction in obamacare and to put it on a sustainable path, our friends across the aisle want none of us -- none of that. what they want is the cash. they want the billions of dollars that go to insurance companies and want no reform. well, i personally find that to be an unacceptable alternative. we do need to do something to protect people who are being hurt right now from the sky-high premiums and the deductibles that render their health insurance unaffordable. and my concern is, to be absolutely candid with you, right now the president is authorizing, on a month to month basis, cost-sharing payments which are sustaining the market as it currently is, not well enough, but at least keeping some insurance companies available in most places, although not
