mary jane, a red years this morning. what has not been mentioned is the link between a culture change in improving access to palliative care. the culture change moment sets a new default and standard of care for all people in nursing homes. it should include attention to resident centered nest. it should include the focus on making things homelike. all people in nursing homes have similar needs. there's a vast majority of similar needs. i argued in my perspectives peaciece that of nursing home residents not receiving rehab are near the end of their life. they have universal palliative care needs. that is care focused on the relief of symptoms, understanding patient and family goals, and making sure that care is in concordant with those goals, and reducing transitions. it is not prognosis' driven. my concern about your proposal is that it remains prognosis- driven. it depends on being able to identify the population within the nursing home who is more likely to die than another population. my concern is that virtually eve

[laughter] >> so she absolutely did have that effect on the left, and i think that -- that's one reason why i think some of her could have been pulled to the left. you know, i don't think there's a book in her influence on the left. i think there's a good article i think you can find a lot of quotes like that. another hunter s. thompson loved her. she's a real figure in 20 senter coulter. every -- so me people are reading or. you can read people's notes and diaries and excavate a lot of that. it was the selfishness, although that really stood as a barrier. you have to make up your mind were you going to buy this part of her? if you're going to buy this part of her you are not going to be on the left anymore. >> go ahead to expect i understand that most of rants papers are in the ayn rand institute archives. can both of the authors talk, say something about their dealings with the ayn rand institute archives? >> let me begin because

status updates so uninteresting way to find books is you get updates of bob finished this book or janetarted to review this book and you start to find to read books that way. but then also giving the people the tools to create their own collections and so, if you are interested in golf, someone creeds their top ten books for golf and you will allow the community basically to vote on an filtered those collections as well. a lot of side to this pretty well, where you search on the topic and you can search those as well so i agree with you that it is a problem. the problem now is you have so many books, how can you do a better job of helping find the books for them? >> we still have time for a few more questions if anyone has one. ..

and while the republican raise is a bit confused and hasn't quite developed although jane norton appearsto be the front runner. i have not yet met her. i try to read the candidates to get a sense of who they are you can read about them but until you sit town with them for an hour. i don't want somebody else's evaluation. guest: you know her brother-in-law. charlie black. guest: that's true but i want to sit down with her. this is a good example like in 2006-2008 the democrats have a good opportunity to make it about the republicans. but now it's going to be much more about the democrats and the oil opposition was right. the republicans need to make this about democrats and democratic problems so the democrats will say these are republican problems that and off to us. it's harder to sell that. in a case like colorado if norton turns out to be the candidate she may well be in this environment those independent voters will swing and there's the other element. is democratic turn outgoing to turn out like it was in 2008. younger voters probably not. will republicans turn out higher because th

you know, joe and jane america. they have some voice, we have the federal system, right?checks and balances, you know, all the branches are interwoven and interlocked in many ways. so yes, a lot of people have access. and certainly in the senate, your point is well taken. harry reid controls the schedule, so he calls up an ag bill, and maybe the banking industry needs an amendment fast to be brought up, at least given vizzsexibblet debated so. hey, you can offer a banking amendment to the ag bill, and you're on talking about banking matters. that's commonplace in the united states senate. harder to do in the house, i tell you. they're strict, and what this does is bolster majority rule principle that i mentioned earlier. because you can't offer, you know, a banking amendment to an ag bill. you're on ag, and that's what you stay on. so it strengthens the agenda role of the speaker, strengthens, of course, the committee pro rag actives. this is the subject, that's the subject we're on. we're want going deal with nonrelevant issues. yes, ma'am? >> you highlighted several poi

in healey versus jane, when was it was at its height in the '60s and '70s, college strikes set down chapters because somebody in the students for democratic society, you know, might urge bombing something, having to do with the war in vietnam. or just the establishment. that's a different establishment talking about today. and some small university, public university in connecticut banned a transit camp and the supreme court said they couldn't do that. absent for showing direct disruption in the university. we have a separate set of rules that deal with incitement and violence. and the current rule, which is under enforced by the courts, is that unless the incitement is a direct and likely to result in and immediately or relative immediately violence, it's protected. somebody in the case involved brandenburg versus al, somebody gets on tv with a gun and said here's where the adl offices are, and there are too many jews and they are too powerful and we ought to go get some. and the supreme court said, that's not direct and immediate enough to constitute an incitement of violence. i have nothi

jane, louisiana. caller: good morning. can i ask my cup question -- ask my question? are on the air. go ahead. caller: last year there was a passage of 1.1 $2 billion it was cut down because of a discrepancy in paperwork. how do you justify that, given that the real cost of hospital care and medical care is behind insurance rates? guest: the idea that some of these insurance executives are making these huge bonuses, that they are getting these golden parachutes when they retire, that a lot of these health care dollars go to pay these costs, that is something we are going to get under control. we are going to say that a certain percentage of the premium must go to health care. they will not be able to simply dip into your pocket and take all of that money into profits, which has been a problem for so many years with these high salaries and bonuses. we are actually going to require insurance companies to open the books and provide more disclosure so that we can have more oversight and control in the way that health care dollars that come from hard-working people. host:

jane, a democratic caller. caller: do they realize how much money they will spend to try the terrorists? that is a waste of money. they have been tried with military. host: jacksonville, alabama. what do you think about the proposed caller: freeze it is a good idea. the problem is where it will come from. the military or where. it should have been done a long time ago, but at the same time i would also like to say this to the american people. when i look at other countries like haiti commend all these other countries who are suffering with no food and so forth, i am embarrassed even to myself because i am a poor person, but as a citizen of the u.s. i would have the government take out taxes on me at a higher rate for between 3-5 years to ease the deficit, start all over as a new country and do things right. at the same time, the gentleman who made comments about president obama making trips across the world and so forth -- he has no choice. the u.s. has to work with the whole world to be competitive and to move

and even jane harman and will say shame on us if we have a next disaster and were not ready to communicate affect or delay. shame on us if we have another 9/11. shame on us if we have another katrina and we have sheriff departments not talking to firefighters to be a firefighter not talking to the national guard. so i appreciate this focus and we all understand the importance of having an inventory. but if we can't get the d. block right in a timely manner, who are we kidding ourselves? so i would hope, mr. chairman, and the full committee chairman that we would really work on the parameters to push for appropriate and proper auction in which we get all the benefits, bring in the additional revenue, but we also developed the revenue stream which will allow us to provide grant and money to our first responders to get to one important aspect of our homeland security issues and debates in line. i yield back my time. >> thank you very much mr. shimkus. the chairman emeritus of the full liberty and commerce committee chairman mr. dingell is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairma

down costs and to provide the benefits people me. >> host: the first call for our guests, louisiana, janethe democrats line. hi there. >> caller: good morning. can i ask my question now? >> host: you are on the air with the congresswoman. >> caller: the retiring ceo of united health care last year was to receive a package of $1.2 billion for his retirement. then they cut that down to 800 million because of a discrepancy in paperwork, so how you justify, isn't that the real problem with hospital care and medical care because of the high insurance rates and i will take my answer of the air. >> guest: well, the idea that some of these insurance executives are making these huge bonuses, that they are getting these golden parachutes when they retire, that a lot of the health care dollar goes to pay these costs is something that we are going to get under control. what we are going to say is that a certain percentage of the premium dollar must go to health care now. the house bill says 85%, the senate bill i believe is 80% but they are not going to be able to just dig into your pocket and take a

you some of the steps that are under way to achieve that fishing, i also want to follow up on what jane has said and give you a little update from our perspective on the situation in haiti. i know you're getting sort of 24/7 news coverage about the devastating scene. but the department of health and human services has a responsibility as much of the agencies in a health response, not only here in this country but internationally, and this has been a very challenging effort. but the good news is work on the ground is continuing with not only a variety of foreign governments, dozens of ngos, supporting the government and the people of haiti. this has to be done by the haitians to get both food, water, medical supplies and essentials health and services to people less quickly as possible who need it the most. now we are dealing with a country where one out of two haitians is under the age of 18. it is a very young nation. so most of the tragedy has fallen on young people and their situation is going to be even more challenging. every day there are more medical staff on the ground, more sup

chairman, i'm jane houlihan, we're a nonprofit research and advocacy organization. thank you for holding this hearing. today we're releasing 18 month survey of labels and web sites for 188 bottles of water. here's what we found. consumers spend about 1900 times more for bottled than tap. yet, they often have no way to learn special facts about what's actually in the bottle. only two of 188 bottled water made public routinely disclosed by local tap water utility. these are the specific name and location. purification and chemical pollutants that remain in the water after treatment. they are ultrapure if id water, the only two of 188 doing so. bottled water companies are not required to make these basic facts public. they enjoy the holiday under the federal food and cosmetic with near complete latitude on what if any information to share with consumers. in contrast, they produce an annual water quality report. giving it's water source as required under the safe drinking water act. epa calls the reports the center piece of consumers right to know about water quality. i

. >> i'm sam janes. you just mentioned that you think republicans may gain seats or the majority in congress in the next midterm elections. i'm wondering how you think it will affect the 2012 elections and if the republicans could get someone into office? guest: i didn't say that i thought republicans could gain majority in 2010 in the midterms. michael steele didn't think so either but he has changed his mind now, the republican party chair, but i do think they will gain seats. if i was just to go with convention a.m. wisdom around this town, it would be between 20 and 25 seats that republicans would pick up. that would not allow them to claim the majority but allow them to say this is a rebuke of the democrats an obama administration and specifically over healthcare. healthcare has become the issue in the coakley-brown race in massachusetts. it is going to be the dominant theme of the 2010 race, short of any sort of catastrophic national security event, terrorist event, so that's where we're going, and
