is not a part of reproductive health care at the va. abortion care's reproductive health care and every person should have the right to decide whether, when, and how they become a parent. this is vital to showing our veterans the respect they deserve. no veteran should have to couple their repeated to service health together piece by piece, not knowing where they can aspect which part of their care, legally, affordably, and without judgment. every patient and their story stays with you, the ones you remember longest are the ones you wish you could've helped more. has services been more available, and so this is more functional. today you have the chance to help us help our patients by removing roadblocks. our veterans know what they need to survive and thrive. we're here as researchers and health care providers still listen to them and get them what they need with your support. thank you again for this opportunity to testify and thank you for taking steps towards better serving our veterans who've been so much to this country. >> thank y

what we are saying here today, i provide patient health care, i support patients who need abortion care and want to continue their abortion pregnancy. i'm trying to access health insurance and trying to get prenatal care. there are huge limitations when it comes to that. we are talking about access, it is also important that we pursue policies that allow people to have these pregnancies in healthy ways. we support all of that, i want people who need abortion care to get that care. i also want people who want to continue their pregnancies to be able to do so in a healthy way. >> i cannot thank you enough for providing your testimony today. i don't know, as a woman in our country right now, i feel like we are not as obsessed with the children that are among us living in poverty that are going to schools with lead in the walls where most of our schools right now don't even have access to clean water. they're literally having fountain shut down. i mean, why are abortion ban so dangerous with stories like yours? >> i appreciate the question. as i sat here when other members who have now left

i heard about health care, and dr. -- dr. wubbenhorst, if there were two lights going into a facility for medical care and only one comes out. is that successful? >> thank you for your question. i would say it is not successful. >> that is what happens. you have to lives go into this setting, they have what democrats are calling a medical procedure, but only one comes out. i do not call that success and i do not think it is radical to defense like drug that is in our founding to mock -- documents. you cannot have pursuit of happiness if you're not born. life. dr. wubbenhorst, after conception what can you tell us about the development of an unborn baby at some milestones 10 weeks. what other milestones of the baby after conception? dr. wubbenhorst: there are other milestones early, post fertilization. at the time of fertilization there is a spark that is submitted and that cool -- question of whether the embryo, side goat, is human is reflected in -- zygote at this individual has human dna. it came from human parents. subseque

, health care -- health work force development and a variety of timely care options. long before the pandemic there was a significant rise in mental health conditions among our nation's young people. their mental health challenges have only been exacerbated by isolation and stress in recent years. too many of our young people are not able to show up as their full selves, to fully enjoy the many experiences that make high school and college special. and too often they don't have that opportunity to perform at their best and achieve meaningful goals. young people across our country have unfounded potential -- unbounded potential and their whole lives ahead of them, and yet suicide is the second leading cause of death of people ages 10 to 14 and the third leading cause of death among young people ages 15 to 24. we can't accept this. we must do more. we must do more here in washington and across the country to help get young people the support they need. congress must continue to support successful programs and legislation like those we've talked about today. and i look fo

health care and increase the benefits of many more. that will result in better health outcomes across the board. we will deliver benefits to more survivors of vets who passed away from toxic exposure and will invest in our workforce and infrastructure to deliver those additional services, modernizing 31 more v.a. health care facilities. this is a great thing. and i don't think it would have happened, surely not now, without kelly's dogged pursuit of the truth, without our vso partners' dogged pursuit of the truth. that is what i mean when i say you all make v.a. better, telling stories that need to be told and holding us accountable to veterans and their survivors. like anything else of this magnitude, implementing this law won't be easy. that is why i have our chief human resource officers of each of the administrations with me today. they are going to recruit each of you. [laughter] we are counting on you for your help. to hold us accountable, yes, and especially to communicate to veterans and their family members what this bill means

south dakota voters will vote to expand government-funded health care coverage for some of the state'sst vulnerable people. >> the affordable care act gives states the option to extend medicaid. 38 states and the district of columbia changing the income threshold for eligibility so more people could enroll. south dakota is one of 12 states that has not expanded medicaid. on tuesday, residence there will vote on whether to change that. my colleague just returned from a reporting trip that enjoins me now. thank you so much. what does it mean for south dakota to potentially be expanding medicaid. >> south dakota in a lot of ways was kind of frozen in time with respect to access and affordability. if the voters decide to change that, to expand medicaid, a lot of people will be able to access health care. they don't have to worry about being stuck with big bills they cannot afford. and with health issues that could otherwise become catastrophic. >> approximately how many south dakota ones would this affect? >> approximately 42,000 south dakotans would be eligible. >> you just spent a couple

the 3 big insulin producers blamed the us health care system. and the large number of distributors stay the subcommittee on oversight and investigations is holding a hearing entitled, quote, priced out of a life saving drug, getting answers on the rising cost of insulin. so mr. mason from eli lilly who is making a profit from these increases in insulin prices. you know, i think you, 1st of all, we don't want anyone not bill for der insulin who is making a profit with his increases in insulin prices that patients have to pay for our net prices. the parts that we receive are going down, are you, are you making a profit or the ceo's of your company's making? these profits are our net prices. the prices we receive has gone down to 2009. well, somebody is making a profit, somebody's getting richer on the backs of our patients. a mr. lang from nova nor disk. what entity in this supply chain is prioritizing affordability and access of insulin for patients. or we like to think we are, i mean we, we participate in as many formulas as we can, as i've ment

there's no foreseeable future for children for us in the finances and because of my health care costs less, the making something over 400000000 people with diabetes today in the world. we like to describe this as a global catastrophe. slow motion, so you put together the productivity losses put together to health care costs, medical costs. it's astronomical. i mean, we know that the pharmaceutical industry is relating to diabetes and making it on the moon. wonderfully with awe . in the long before the doctor said she now mean if so i was born in 1963 early in february 1975. i went to a concert church. when i got home, i felt tired and very weak and it says, i think i spent the night drinking water in pink. wow. the next day i did blood tests now and was told i had type one diabetes, give it to beauty, go pipeline diabetes. it strikes without warning musician batt handbook and that's pancreas stopped producing insulin 45 years. no. medical science has yet to explain fully why poor to find a cure for the disease. diabetes is insidious and people's lives are often severely disrupted. doi

what does the care part of health care mean? and also, when are sick? and this gets at questions that. both linda and chloe have brought up, which is when we are sick, how do we want to be seen? right? do we want to be seen as a collection of parts, a car? you know, i just had this image when i was that it was like i would go to the this doctor and it was like they would check out carburetor and then i would go to another and they would check out whatever. i don't know enough about cars. but, you know, the engine, the cover or whatever, the oil. but like no one was ever looking at me like a whole person who was maybe different from other people. so one of the things that i'm really interested in the book is the ways in which the the real gains of medical science, which have to do with measurement and ideas of replicability and. this goes back, i think, to what both of you were talking about. you know, the advent of germ theory brought with it. this idea germs came into our bodies and they did things to us that could be measured by being the same. one of

as i've, you put together the productivity losses and put together the health care costs medical costs. it's astronomical. i mean, we know that the pharmaceutical industry is relating to diabetes and making a wonderful with ah, ah, good for the doors and she, naomi of. so i was born in 1963 really in february, 1975. i went to a concert job. when i got home i felt tired and very weak and it's i think i spent the night drinking water and peeing. wow. the next day i did blood tests now and was told i had type one diabetes, give it to beauty, go type one diabetes at strikes without warning musician batt handbook and that's pancreas stopped producing insulin 45 years ago. medical science has yet to explain fully why for to find the cure for the disease. diabetes is insidious and people's lives are often severely disrupted . she's doing it again when i get her, it showed point 81. so there's always a delay through 2nd issue. i'm not thinking about the show your emotion. i'm wondering what i'll do. if i have too much sugar. she could pull, i'll be exhausted, and not having enough is also a pr

people deserve access to quality health care. it the republican has tried to dismantle it at every turn, the access. and i am really proud we were able to finally put a cap on insulin at $30 a month for our seniors. and that out-of-pocket expenses for seniors. because we cannot keep taking all of these things away from people and expecting that they will be able to stay healthy. nick: what is the number one change you would make in health care? amanda: as you know, i have spent a vast majority of my career working in health care. my work has been focused on cutting cost, making it more affordable, and as i noted, helping people to be healthier. i think there are many changes we can make in this country that has to deal with the cost of medical care and prescription drugs. we need to, when we look at risk medical care, grant -- block money to go back to the federal government because the states know how to handle that. the best example i have seen are instances where the providers themselves make a decision to create health plans.

there's more to it aside from just, you know, strictly buying the stuff that's beaten up the most. >> health careright now. the biggest losers in the group, the managed care providers united health, weighing on the dow. humana, centene. let's break down the move with david windily joining us by phone. is it just because, david, it's been such an area of strength for the market so far this year and that's reversing now >> i think you're exactly right. i think you and mike framed this well, that these stocks have done their jobs. they're defensive. they've beaten numbers every quarter this year and raised cps and it's by 4% versus an s&p that's going the other way the stocks have been a safe haven and out performed the s&p 50035% year to date until the last couple days and now they're giving some of that back because they've done their job but to the really where people want to rotate to at this point. >> should they be wanting to rotate to them do the valuations look attractive given what's happening with fundamentals? >> right so fundsamentals are really good the companies set themselves up for s

it's why he worked to lower health care costs and give teachers their first rays and over a decade. hat it's like to struggle, he cares about -- folks who are trying to make ends meet. he wants to make a difference. over the last few years steve has made a difference. it's why nevadans have had one of the fastest economic recoveries in the country. you know we are not out of the woods yet which is why he is investing in things like affordable housing. that's why, you have seen him fight for you. steve's opponent, i don't know who he fights for. he claims he is not a politician. but he still acts like the worst kind. he says different things to different audiences to play both sides. somebody asked him is the election rigged? he says, well, there was a modicum of fraud but not enough to change the outcome. all right, was donald trump a great president? wait -- don't boo, vote. they can't hear you billing -- booing out there but they will hear your vote. this guy says, i wouldn't say great. but after they got mad at him, he said yes, by all measure trump was a great president. he said

, health care saved my life. and it reaffirmed how critical health care is and need to be expanded as well. i just fundamentally believe that health care was there to save my life and it should be for any person. >> the other side has spent over $100 million to knock me down. five months ago i had a stroke, and it knocked me down but i got back up. and that's what this whole campaign is also about. anyone in this crowd or anywhere across pennsylvania, if you ever got knocked down, you get back up. in anyone community that was left behind and got knocked down, that's what this campaign is about. >> you look what's happened in that region, in that state, in the upper midwest across the past generation, you listen to a man talking about having a stroke, being knocked down, getting back up, and people seeing in the most painful way during that debate just how much of an impact it had on this big, powerful, strong, political figure, and then the images of the people in the shadows as he's talking to them, one of the s

health care is a human right. the fact that our government has not recognized that is an indictment on that. and the social structures that have allowed that to happen. but honestly, i feel like this is more of a max question really, since you spend so much time reporting on covid specific things like during covid, i was mostly just in my little office and in the library writing my book 300 years of labor history, and then going alabama to bother the coal miners. but max is like in it in it. well, okay. we got a lot thoughts in here. i'm going to try to focus them because i know we got like we got a couple of minutes here and then i know we want to get to q&a. so. i'll spoil one of the interviews in the book which is an interview with norman, a retired silver miner in idaho who when the pandemic hit was himself in a two plus year strike at the luckey mine strike, silver mine in idaho, which they lost. and rick retired soon after that, the middle of covid and. it's one of i mean, it's hard to pick a favorite interv

paper today's religious body politics, religious pluralism and -- in health care settings. and finally, william shultz as a historian of -- and assistant professor at the university of chicago divinity school. we'll work on the intersection of politics and capitalism, and is currently finishing up his first book, jesus in the rockies, how colorado springs became the capital of american evangelicalism, which explains how the confluence of evangelical christianity and free market capitalism transformed the city of colorado springs into an epicenter of american conservatism. his next project is the waves of sin, faith and fraud and religious freedom in modern america. he is speaking today out of that project, its title is -- and male or dominicans that crusade for religious fundraising. with that, i will turn it over to carly. >> hello, everybody, thank you for being with us this afternoon. i want to thank my entertain for coming and being an audience member. i would love to thank will for organizing this panel and the conference organizers for bringing us together. i also wan

it is not just democratic families that are struggling to afford child care and health care. it is not just democratic families who are struggling to afford housing. it is not just democratic women who want freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies. and it is not just democratic families who want clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. so we are going to come together as a caucus. our door is open from any member from across the aisle who wants to get to work for the american people and if they want to divide, if they want to obstruct, if they want to have political theater instead of finding those solutions the american people want, we will be here to oppose. today is the day of transition and hope and renewal of the shared values of our caucus. and i am so pleased for the first time to be able to turn the mic to our caucus chair, pete aguilar. mr. aguilar: thank you so much. do i start to call you madam whip. thank you so much. and you guys know when we say those terms, we don't always mean it. but it's absolutely true. these are good partners, good frie

the disease caused health care systems about $760000000000.00 a year. worldwide. there is a un declaration on di visas in 2006 because of its potential to cripple any health care system. ah, because of its costs, ah, and to actually up the potential to affect the productivity of the country with the number of people with diabetes. ah, that need treatment. but those are also invalids because of diabetes and on able to work because of their diabetic complications. it is the only other condition apart from h i v h that has the un declaration in 1921. canadian doctor's frederick panting, and charles h best discovered insulin and made industrial production possible. the revolutionary innovation saved thousands of lives. children who were facing certain death were treated with spectacular success. the canadian researchers sold their patent for a symbolic dollar to lily, an american pharmaceutical company for commercial production. could you tell me anything about him chillin what it is and how it's made? well, it's not made it, it come from animal bank this, the plant w

legitimate health care.can do that more effectively by offering these things like pregnancy test and the goods that are not free. they are predicated on conditions on participating in antiabortion programming. and ultrasound, they use that to signal medical legitimacy and they call a convergence of being in a medical facility if they have one on the premise and there's a program a program that subsidizes it based on their proximity togi legitimate facilities and colleges and training schools. the ultrasounds are also leveraged in a nonmedical way and limited obstetric ultrasound which is not diagnostic in nature. it advised when they apply the purpose of the purpose of the ultrasound isd to promote bondig andg dissuade bonding between e pregnant personpr in the fetus d dissuade a choice for abortion. of course it's not advertisede that way to the public. what we now see the public investment of funds and the simultaneous alignment of a scattershot mom-and-pop ctc are now most aligned and affiliated with the

going and steve and i work together, a health insurance company, a nonprofit called harvard pilgrim health care, went into receivership. we basically were part of team that turned it around. it was the number one ranked health plan in the country for the last seven years. i was there for member satisfaction and clinical effectiveness but a huge piece of that turnaround was what was coming into the call. both the provider call center and the member call center. and we collected that data and, that information, and a lot of that became the core of the problems to be solved. and i can't tell you how important it is most people, they just focus on, you know, the metrics, the spreadsheets you got to get to the points of pain. the points of pain are usually going to come from your customers, your vendors, your suppliers, people like that. the third part is to focus the how. and that means to really get real about what is it that's actually to make this better and to be willing to recognize, understand that the how may mean having change the way you do things and you can't power through it if you take

put the money into health care, housing, education and making a good living. i will protect our freedoms and our rights. our right to be secure in our person, our right to control our bodies, our right to be safe and our right to vote. this election is a choice and i look on my record as a record of the governor and i will say we want a man who has but the wealthy in the powerful -- and the powerful first or the guy woman who has stood on the side of georgians. that is the choice you get to make tonight. >> tonight's debate guidelines are straightforward. they have 45 seconds to address the question and 45 seconds for rebuttals. we start with inflation. georgians are hurting with the crippling inflation. the question to each of you is what can a governor do, what would you do, be specific, or will continue to do to help georgians right away? we start with ms. abrams. >> the economic pain people are feeling israel. inflation is actually worth here in georgia than in 36 other states. georgia has some of the lowest wages in the nation. we need a governor who focu

medicine and for profit hospitals get us better hospitals and better health care. ance companies, they want to approve as little as possible. if your doctor says you should get this test or whatever, they are all over not approving it because profits go down when they have to pay that out. he didn't see it that way. he thought that -- i said, let me ask you, on a moral level, if somebody gets sick, which is not their fault, why should they be punished? we have more people evicted from their homes because of health care bills than any other reason. we are the only western industrialized country -- i saw this chart a few months ago, a number of families evicted from their homes, losing their mortgage because of health care bills. the uk, zero. france, zero. canada, zero. united states, it was in the hundreds of thousands of people who have been evicted or have had to lose their home. is that the america you want to live in, i said to doctor us? that's not who we are, right? i want to live in an america that supports the profit motive. >> wow. >> are you a doctor? real

the final thing, we have to seek huge transparency in our health care system. no one knows what anything costs. if you are a small business owner or someone at the prescription drug counter, trying to get through, you have apsley no idea why you're being charged anything. i think we can create that kind of transparency, that will dramatically drive down costs. mr. o'dea: you have been there 13 years, $20 trillion. this has caused record inflation. the problem with the cap on medicare and medicaid, that will be transferred to people with real life insurance like myself. they will have to pick up the delta for that. it won't save us any money. it will be on the backs of working americans again. >> there is a war in europe after russia invaded ukraine where the u.s. [indiscernible] because ukraine is not a member of nato. if we see china make a move against taiwan, would you support the u.s. sending american troops to aid taiwan? which the president has already indicated he would order. sen. bennet: thank you for that question. i think the world is very dangerous

health care access, that should be accessible to all people. and, yes he is there a benefit and being married? sure. and it is a rights that should be accessible to all people. i do think it is something that we should be talking about. but now, i do not see any taxpayer cost. >> to the line for those who defies lgbtq, this is record of san diego. good morning. >> good morning. >> go, had you wrong with kyra johnson. >> thank you for being on today, kierra. i've had this issue of marriage equality come up in my family. and in respect to my father, i asked him about what he thought about this issue. he knows that i'm in a person, i've been getting the same man for 20 years and he quoted to me passage in the bible from matthew 19. it says there are someone that shouldn't marry. and i, said dad, i know how saint matthew feels. but i want to know what you think. how do you feel about me and my boyfriend getting married? >> and rick, what did he say? >> he did not say anything. he just sat there stone cold. tightlipped. and had no interest. and i al

it has outperformed the broader market of course, like all sectors, not all areas within health care are created equal. we're going to do this it's called sector nomics, i call it double doming. we're doubling dom on healthcare >> here's what we've got because health care is important, the reason why is not because of the work that we do, although it's very important it's also important to the markets, because health care is the second biggest sector in the s&p 500, second only to technology that's how important it is, it carries a lot of weight. over the course of the last year, we've seen a lot of outperformance from that health care industry side of things, that white line has been getting further above the orange line, the broader s&p 500, as the year has progressed now, within that health care overall sector, there are key component industries that have given that outperformance. it's been biotech specifically that's handled a lot of the upside momentum and work there biotech within that industry group is up 12 pgt health care providers and services up about 4%, pharmaceuticals,

we need to expand our health care, this time -- the same kind of health care that saved my life. that saved my life should be the same kind of health care that might save your life. [applause] and i can't believe that in 2022, we are still arguing about marriage equality. i am proud to say that in 2013, i was the only elected official in pennsylvania that was willing to solemnize a first-day marriage in pennsylvania. [applause] tom corbett, the governor, threatened to have me arrested and i said you know where i live , you can send the state police to get me. [applause] and also, codifying roe v. wade. [applause] i run on roe v. wade. or celebrate the demise of roe v. wade. that is the choice we have. this is one of the biggest races in the nation. they spent over $100 million to try to destroy me. and here, we are still standing. [applause] and we are going to need every one of you to vote. and tell your friends enter families to make sure you turn up every vote. and by last favor of every one of you would be to please make sure we send dr. oz back across the bridge. [applause]

the health care industry is a favored victim of these threat actors.ink about the threat platforms that are out there, the interconnecttivity between a hospital and a pharmacy, your health records, there are a lot of doors and windows for hackers to get in and this needs to be addressed at the highest levels of these health care industries and board of directors and leadership and making sure that people understand they're part of the security of that network. >> do we have any idea where the hackers are coming from? are they domestic? is it international? >> sure, and that's a great question, jacqui. they are international and they are here in the united states, and they are in europe. they are our nation states and criminal organizations, and it's quite the wild west out there right now and it will continue to be because hackers understand that hospitals and health care systems are so vulnerable that they will pay the ransom and this is all about getting that money. it goes back to the dillinger quote, why does he rob a bank? that's where the money a
