not just illinois. co-op after co-op after co-op have failed, including one yesterday in the state of new jersey, gone. what does crane's newspaper, chicago business say about illinois? illinois obamacare plan to fold after three-year run. land of lincoln health and obamacare insurer that launched three years ago to bring competition. the idea the president said he wanted to bring competition to the online exchange is liquidating among big financial losses. location after location, state by state, people that have relied upon the president's promises have been bitterly disappointed. and the thing that is so distressing about what happened in illinois with the co-op, because it failed during the middle of the year, done. people then need to go find new insurance. well, we have talked before, mr. president, about the issues of high co-pays, high deductibles. when a co-op fails and you have to buy new insurance, you have to start over from scratch with paying the co-pays, paying the deductibles, so somebod

bost of illinois. the chair: the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois. mr. bost: i want to thank chairman shuste for also helping with this amendment. the purpose of my amendment is simple. i believe that the army corps of engineers should consider all potential economic benefits of repairing levees following a flood disaster. right now, the corps may only consider flood prevention when allocating rehabilitation assistance of levees. this makes no sense. the corps manages inland water ways for multia multitude of purposes. and in many cases, federal and nonfederal levees work together in an integrated system. how can we ignore the benefits of repairing a levee when doing so would improve navigation and other corps responsibilities along with it. the repair of the levee in alexander county, illinois is one example of our failing to see the forest for the trees. the levee was breached in last winter's floods. million have been spent on maintaining navigation on the river. even more will be needed to maintain navigation is further flood damage occurs. despite t

so they boarded a car on the illinois traction system. when phoebe said, i must confess, i've heard of this road, it's service fine, it's hard to beat an electric line. the car was clean, the woodwork bright. the tipless porter treated them right. no dust, no dirt, all of which shows there wasn't a speck on the sisters' clothes. they arrived in springfield white and clean, not feeling tired, dirty and mean. said phoebe snow, retiring that night, this beats the road of anthracite. also, in urban cars were relatively quiet. a steam locomotive makes a lot of sound, like your stomach after a meal. there's this clanking whatever. but in an interurban car, you just have the hum of the motor and every so often the noise that comes from the air pumps. so it's quiet. so i think we are thinking, interurbans, good news, they're clean. but even more important than that, from the public perspective, was the fact that they were convenient. interurban companies commonly operated on hourly schedules, sometimes every 30 minutes during the day and into the

kinsering of illinois, mr. court -- kinsering of illinois, mr. courtney of -- kinzinger of illinois, mr. courtney of connecticut, who have placed commonsense in this format that will bring fair noons the equation for amateur radio operators. operators provide essential services in times of emergencies. and they should not be prohibited from building their facilities. they provide a very useful role in our different neighborhoods and communities. h.r. 1301 will provide for new rules that will help these operators navigate homeowner association restrictions when they are attempting to build their given stations. the bill, mr. speaker, strikes the right balance to ensure that homeowner associations can impose reasonable regulations for amateur radio towers. but would also make sure that amateur radio enthusiasts can continue to operate. i do congratulate chairman walden and ranking member eshoo for their work to come up with an agreement that everyone can support. based on the efforts of the co-sponsors of the legislation. with that, mr. speaker, i
