this will provide more resources, health care coverage and the dignity they deserve. we've secured billions for more child care access, billions for homeless, billions for rural housing services, over a billion for home investment partnership programs an over a billion for housing for the elderly and housing for people with disabilities. from start to finish, from top to bottom, this omnibus is bold, generous, far-reaching and ambitious. it's not everything we would have wanted. when you're dealing in a bipartisan, bicameral way, you have to sit down and get it done and that means each side has to concede some things, but it is something that we can be very proud of, all of us. we must get this done before friday -- well before that if possible. i want to thank every single colleague and staff member who worked relentlessly to put this together, not only senators leahy and shelby, but their subcommittee chairs and ranking members. it was a

what are the white house priorities when it comes to health care? >> sure. we are working with both chambers. in terms of priorities, there are a number of issues that we are tracking, key public health policies that around the f.d.a. and other public health issues that we are paying attention to. there are medicare centers that we need to pay attention to and make sure we are using this opportunity to strengthen the medicare program and ensure aspects to key services and ensure that our priors are on stable footing. we are thinking a lot about ways to improve and strengthen the broader health care system and broader opportunities to get bipartisan work done. and the last priority is mental health which i think we will talk about today but we have seen tremendous bipartisan interest in making meaningful progress to access to mental health services. tina: go to medicaid next. as most of you likely know when the public health emergency ends which is expected to be next year that will have huge implications. what is the administration to make that process smooth

, 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

and then a global health crisis that really demanded so much from everyone within the health care system. so, and you know, everyone here in the u. k. stood outside your doorstep and applauded our health workers. but then when they are asking for something that is really quite fair because in the u. k, a nurses are paid quite low. if you compare that to international standards, their pay less, that colleagues and other countries, it just so in this instance, so demoralizing for health work yourself to, to go through some thing that was absolutely traumatizing for so many where they had to say good health. people say good bye to love ones through i phones and i pans. we didn't even have sufficient p, p. e at the beginning of the pandemic. and really for what is supposed to be a quite developed health care system. those budget cuts that lead up into the pandemic, played out quite severely. we saw that actually, we were not in a good place when the pandemic hit. and then all of the crack started to, to even grow during that time. and now because we went at went into the week, i think now it

what are the white house priorities when it comes to health care? >> sure. oth chambers as we enter this end-of-the-year period. in terms of priorities is a number of issues we are tracking. there's of course key public health priorities that congress is looking to do with around fda and other sort key public health issues that were paying a lot of attention to. there are your typical suites of medical vendors that are something that we need to pay attention to. when we want to make sure we're using this opportunity to strengthen the medicare program and continue to ensure beneficiary access to key services and ensure that our providers are unstable footing come out of a tumultuous last couple of years. we're also thinking a lot about ways to improve and strengthen the broader health care system and looking for opportunities to get some bipartisan work done there. the last priority i would mention is mental health which i think we'll talk a lot about today but we've seen tremendous bipartisan interest in making meaningful progress onshoring up and expanding a

access to health care, specifically mental health care is not always readily available to student who come from rural areas, inner cities and economically depressed areas. most colleges and universities were ben fish dwhriefers cares act and the herp2 and 3 acts. these allowed us to maintain university life for our students throughout the pandemic. the hbcu threats of 2022 altered the higher education landscape for students at these institutions. for them to be singled out and threatened have caused our students untold mental anguish and stress. though those who caused the sich swaition law enforcement issue, the effect on our student is not. more resources should be directed to us as sole resip yens of these threats. over 20 years ago, a mentor asked me if i knew the difference between a high school senior and a college freshman, she replayed without emotion, three months. for incoming student there's months is the only things that separate high school from college yet we believe they should arief on campus fully prepared to not only make adult decisions but more importantly to live

he also started talking about health care. health care costs were heard in walmart.he began dialogue with andy stern and the service union on health care. those talks extended into other areas, including wages and labor practices. fascinating backdoor negotiations. they did not go anywhere but on health care come up walmart and the service employees union and others were able to come together and call for universal health care coverage. walmart ended up being one of the few large companies to back an employer mandate to make sure people were insured. susan: just a little over 20 minutes left. we are talking about rick's book, "still broke: walmart's remarkable transformation and the limits of socially conscious capitalism." when they were endorsing health care, what was walmart's relationship with national politician? did they have critics and supporters on the national scene? rick: both. lots of critics over the years, not surprisingly on the democratic side of the aisle. largely over wage policy. until 2015 when they raised wages, and my book is the story of how an

moreover, more than 1,500 received surgical care, including in federal clinics, minister of health mikhail murashko told about this and not only in the final interview to our tv channel. thank you very much for being took the time to sum up the results of the year with us. hello. let's tell the general situations of the general trends, what trends we are currently observing in demographic terms in the first place. uh. i would like to note that after the decrease in the incidence of a new coronavirus infection and the worlds already found, prevention and treatment, of course, the situation of the medic and demographic in terms of increasing life expectancy will change for the better . we expected life expectancy this year given the high morbidity levels. the first four months are within 71 years. we see that life expectancy will be a higher than 72.4 years. that is, this is an indicator that, compared to 21 years, has improved by 2.4 years, this is still forecast indicators. i think that in fact they will be somewhat higher and, of course, the indicators of children's health are also import

it's a driver for economic growth, and if we invest in health work is in our health care systems. in the research and the innovation, we firmly believe that the road to economic growth is paved by investment in health . and that's the argument that we're trying to make to all governments around the world. yeah. and your argument, it's a valid one, but you know, even even in our program, the day you are reporting about a 1617 year old player in brazil who play soccer. and he's now been transferred, you know, for millions and millions of dollars that speaks to the priorities our society has right now. millions for soccer players. not millions for nurses and wonder how you change that because i think we're talking about something here that goes beyond appropriations. and budgets i think you're right. i think there's a much deeper issue about how we value different workers and what's important to us as to source is you know, the, the, the irony around the strikes is that just a few months ago we were saying to our nurses and health workers, you are the most important people holding our

new facilities, more health care work at v.a. hospitals. for families who suffer the ultimate loss, it means access to life insurance, tuition benefits, monthly stipends, and israel. it is -- and it is real. it is not small. it says if you are the spouse of a veteran who died from a toxic illness with two children you can be eligible for $2000 a month to help those children. it will never make up for the soul you lost, but it is important with kids. i was talking to someone earlier without naming them. there are tuition benefits. if you go to a state university as a child of someone who has died you get free state tuition. if you go to private university get up to $26,000 a year. it matters. the bottom line is you know it, many of you know it, many of you are victims of it, when you lose one of the breadwinners is a gigantic hole. that hole is left because they served all of us. they deserve to have it filled or tried to fill. passing the pact act was the first step of making sure we leave no one behind. we also need to pass a bipartisan go

i'm already spoke can not meet all the needs of not the population, not health care and arthroplasty nsive type of medical care. and we are the pride of our country, we have social standards, and volumes are planned within the framework of the same social standards as part of high-tech assistance. that is, for example, five thousand five hundred arthroplasty operations are planned for this year. pain joint free of charge and 1,500 knee joint surgeries free of charge, respectively the average queue for the hip joint is well for different regions. as you said different, but on average up to 2.5 years per knee composition is slightly higher than three. yes, yes, four years, that is, for the average - it's about 3-4 years. and here you need to understand, you understand, and the provision is on a paid basis. this does not mean that but hmm but that's all, that is, this is the queue, naturally the state takes on the responsibility. we are ready to stop 5.5 thousand joints and today, at the pace of this year, 90% of the plan has already been completed both for the knee and i'm not mistaken

the health organization warns the ukrainian health care system to face the toughest days during the weekia, critical infrastructure was shelled, leaving a million people without light, heating, even water due to power cuts , some hospitals were able to continue working only thanks to generators as the strikes continue temperatures remain below zero minister of defense the health of ukraine and viktor lyashko says the risk of a humanitarian crisis remains high , he told the bbc correspondent higu bachezi about this fovex there are fears that these strikes may cause a humanitarian crisis russia has been shelling the energy infrastructure for weeks and millions of people in ukraine have found themselves in difficult conditions without electricity and heating as you can see, it is snowing in kyiv, the temperature here is below zero, but we know that it can drop to -15 here ° celsius, and this can potentially lead to a humanitarian crisis . this is what the minister of health lyashko said about genesis, the world health organization stated that the health care system in ukraine is currently e

one is that we do not yet have the data for health net canopy care. we've been working closely with our health net partners and things are moving and we're working close to get that in place. a reminder, we do not get the financials for the medicare population and lastly, i just wanted to callout the time period of this dashboard crosses to planned year and you recall we moved our administration from the ppo from united healthcare to blue shield in that time period and so, as you look at the full dashboard, you might see some corky things where both are represented that more happens with any measures that don't look at continuous enrollment, just to put that as a callout for you. let's take a look at what those key observations were starting first with our non-medicare population and to put this into historical context, gosh, it seems to long ago and yet it wasn't. but in july of 2021 which is the beginning part of the period of this report, we had a heightened state of covid cases at that time. they were increasing and it was a gradual drop off that k

so health care realty, ticker hr, that is a name that we like a lot.as been under pressure with interest rates rising and they merged with one of the largest peers which put a little weight on valuation. but we think that they have the best portfolio of medical office buildings, mostly adjacent to hospitals which is where you have pricing power and a 7.6% dividend yield >> 7.6%, that is amazing and so these are buildings that would be owned by reits. when i think of medical office buildings, i think of doctors banding together and -- or big medical practices owning those buildings. but a lot are owned by reits >> yeah, so a combination before reits will own then, sometimes the health system will lease the space so they can use it as overflow space for outpatient services but think about the surgeon, you will go to their office, you will get a consultation, and when you have your knee surgery or hip surgery, you will go to the hospital and that physician, that surgeon, wants to have its doctor space right next door to the hospital so it is kind of a sea

and we are seeing this kind of government intrusion into health care decisions that until very recently we consider to be private and in fact constitutionally protected. ed >> i think one reason why the majority doesn't care about this, the majority closing the sights on it, is if it actually acknowledged it, if it took matters into account, it wouldn't be able to do what it's now done. it could possibly stand there and say no one has come to rely on this right, or this is not central to women's autonomy. or this is not a real component of liberty. it would be outrageous for the court to say that in the same breath as acknowledging that the states most likely to ban abortion are also the states with the highest rates of maternal mortality. instead, they cite 13th century idiots who didn't understand or know any women, who think that abortion is murder and say what was good, what was true back then is true today. and i think, again, that points to a very dark place where our court is currently sitting. >> i think it is helpful to our audience here and also our audience at home to underst

expanding health care is a top priority for my district. democrats are putting people over politics by investing in our public health system and expanding access to quality health care. democrats will deliver permanent mandatory and continuous coverage for their 40 million children enrolled in medicaid and the children's health insurance program. we are making investments in mental health which will improve access to medication, assistant treatment, expand our mental health work force, and increase coverage of mental health services. investing in physical and mental health care is investing in our families. our workers and our communities. it is about putting people over politics. it's about investing in our children. i'm proud that we'll be voting on this bill today. i plan to vote for it. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from south carolina seek recognition? mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minut
