democraticked by the institute of medicine. eir study concluded earlier this year and sponsored by the department of defense shows that 20% of our active duty military personnel report they engaged in heavy drinking in 2008. binge drinking rose from 35% of personnel in 1998 to 47% in 2008. drug abuse of illegal and prescription drugs rose from 2% in 2002 to 11% in 2008: the report recommended better screening and that's just what the marine corps is doing, according to a directive issued in month the purpose of the screening program is to provide gheanders and additional tool to provide marines and sailors in their commands at risk for the adverse effects of alcohol abuse or misuse. the report notes that alcohol has long been a part of military culture. but it recommends better leadership on the frish top commanders all the way down. and it says this spike in cases results partly from outdated approaches to preventing and treating substance abuse. the marine corps is the first to have this strict screening policy. of the program

the institute of medicine, from their work on the waste in the system, the article in the journal of the american medical association. the figures are staggering. they are in the two and $300 billion per year range. getting from here to there is clearly scary. also a major challenge in terms of a transition. what if we were able to do that, i think a lot of the fiscal problems that we are facing that are causing such conflict, actually have a chance of being solved with what we all want. which is better health care. at less cost than the same outcome. so i think that is important. in that regard, i think we are beginning to see something. some are beginning to look at the community in which they operate in the level of community health. on friday, talking about the interesting interventions, deploying the right interventions and investing the right way, they can have impacts on things the public health people traditionally that they couldn't. medical care systems can do that. that is also a cause for optimism. in my view, the only way that will get turbocharged is this care organizat

eshoo: a 2006 report by the institute of medicine found the costs associated with preterm birth in the united states was $26.2 billion annually or $51,600 per infant born preterm. these are staggering amounts of dollars. and while employers, private insurers and individuals bear about half the costs of health care for these infants, 40% is paid for by medicaid. so it's in the best interest of healthy babies, hopeful families and the budget of our country to decrease preterm birth. the good news is our investment in preventing prematurity is paying off. in 2006 i introduced and congress passed the first-ever comprehensive preemie act, and prematurity rates have declined since then. so this is very good news. the better news is that today we're re-authorizing this law, which holds important programs which will build upon the momentum of the original law and provide us with new tools and knowledge to improve the lives and health of america's mothers and children. the preemie act has been packaged with other important pediatric health bills. i thank the chairman of the subcommittee, mr. pi
