it is no secret that our country faces many healthcare crises. too many of our people are underinsured and we pay by far the highest cost of healthcare many major country on earth. the cost ofth prescription drugs are off-the-wall and many people cannot afford that. in the midst of all of that, for whatever reason and i think we will delve into that today, our nation, the richest country in the history of the world is simply does not have enough doctors nurses dentist and other medical professions professionals. in one that is so, i'm not sure but i hope that we can learn something about that. but the result is that according to the association of american medical colleges, but 2033, the united states will have a shortage of up to 139,000 primary care physicians by the year0 2033 and primary care physicians already have a crisis in terms of access to primary care for many people throughout this country. primary care alone will be facing a shortage of up to 155,000 physicians and by the way, we all know that this is not take into account with covi

all of that becomes healthcare. it get sucked into the healthcare economy. and actually hospitals themselves of doing a lot of this. through the 60s, 70s an early 80s. ps frankly have the insurance fort they find in all these of pittsburgh places like homestead keys port, towns like this, they're still known at the bottom of the hill and three blocks up in the hospital. the workers and their families part all these places are kind of running a tidy business in sort of a medium term care. this that happens at a national level causes the healthcare national healthcare expenditure to balloon. as all of the social need channel into healthcare to drive healthcare inflation we talked about earlier even faster and more intensely. it again becomes part of the political problem. so congress in 1983 is looking at this basically and they see that okay, industrial cities are kind of in ruins. the fed is deflated the economy, jacked up interest rate but workers out of work for strangely the healthcare industry has kept inflating. we've got to do something about it. the w

it is about the risk, the way that you drive down healthcare cost is that everyone has healthcare and therefore the sickest among the were the healthiest among us even out the cost of care so the only people winning in the system are yet again elite as well as the insurance companies. you have this incredible passage in another way where if we go to use the actuarial risk they are proceeding this in a public pool or unionizing with black workers it is the risk of losing something about how they see their position and status of society. you have this term that you quoted from somebody. maybe talk a little bit about that. >> once a society is set up in a way where there isn't a minimum standard of living, there isn't a guarantee. i see this very much in contrast with the model of social democracy where every family knows that they can send their kid to a good public school and if they have paid family leave thing that keeps american families up at night that is not how our society was created when you do create a bottom-up force for the economy that is zero. you are creating a sense amo

operations and groups that were heavily invested in the healthcare industry. therefore we're making calculated business decisions that in some ways contradicted their own sort of social justice or other theological orientations around healthcare and healing and it's this contradictory nature of religion in these institutional spaces that i think deserves far more sustained attention not just by me but by others in part because it is so complex because there isn't a single party line or about what religion is in this space, but also religious groups themselves. there's a really wonderful back and forth. i found in the early 1970s between what was then the national conference of catholic bishops and catholic theologians disputing exactly. what should or shouldn't be acceptable in catholic healthcare and what specifically it meant if catholic hospitals were serving a pluralistic population including many both patients and healthcare providers working in them who weren't catholic the theologians were far more interested and pluralism than the bishops that perhaps

ongoing to pick up on healthcare coverage. you spoke to the staff a little bit after our meeting and you had mentioned -- personnel do not have health insurance. and that the lack of coverage and co-pay for those with coverage have made it difficult to ensure that everyone has access and at that time you're focusing for a lid on mental health. so i would like to learn more, and we're going to have a panel that addresses on healthcare, on health services. so i think some of the things that we need to understand is a breakdown that the staff will be asking you so you don't have to provide it today by state, who lacks health insurance, whether or not it's available for folks and they have chosen not to sign up for it. i know in minnesota we have very high insurance rates and great premiums for the coverage in minnesota, somewhat to see how this breaks down by state because the states are not offering policies that are affordable. that can become a different issue that we will need to address. and but i would like to know how you

i don't know if that's healthcare system or medicare for all but we need to come up with something. the covered crisis exposed a lot of these inequities and it was horrible because some evil didn't have access to healthcare or they didn't go into the hospital because they were afraid they couldn't pay for so this is part of my social infrastructure t argument with lincoln would have embraced because i go as far as the 14th amendment inspired by him the equal treatment clause think at the very least in this country we should treat everybody fairly and equally. of course they haven't been but i think that's something we need to talk about when we talk about infrastructure. >> very good. leo schmidt, would lincoln be in favor of a line item veto for belly financing out of infrastructure bills ? >> i don't think he would have looked at that specifically because he was kind of a big picture thinker so transcontinental railroad, how big of a project was that? of course when you look atin his three, the robber baron era and waste and displacement of native americans murdering them and putt

as as you likely know texas is in the healthcare crisis. it has the highest uninsured rate in the country. it is certainly my hope that texas will expand medicaid especially considering the incentives in the american rescue plan that we worked on in this committee. i hope we can work together to address the concerns that have been raised. it's clear that even if taxes were to expand medicaid to still be a need for some form of waivers to ask find any uncompensated care in the state and, of course, it will be done in a transparent way and a way that provides the quality of care to disadvantaged texans. i'm glad you are working closely with people in texas death and the urge you to work with them to accomplish the violent and objectives to state. thank you so much, secretary becerra, and with that i will yield back. >> the gentlewoman yields back. i don't see mr. schrader, so i'm going to go to mr. doyle who is waiting on. he has been with us since the beginning of the hearing today. you are recognized, my friend, for five minutes. >> well, i
