now, some have suggested that, well, lisa, your amendment doesn't require the insurance companies to provide any prevention or screening services, there's no mandate in there. and that if we don't have a mandate, then the insurance companies aren't going to provide health care prevention, screening and services. i think we need to ask the question here: what is the point of prevention? if it's to prevent more expensive care in the future by preventing the chronic and the more acute illnesses. so shouldn't the insurance companies want to utilize more preventive services, utilize more screenings, more wellness services in order to keep down the costs of care based on the judgment of the doctors, based on the judgment of the professionals and not necessarily those that, again, are -- are appointed as part of the government entity? i know that within my staff, i have a staff member who -- she's on the fehbp plan, but they contact her on a somewhat regular basis about her diabetes care, ensuring that she's taking her medications, getting the necessary preventive services offered by her in

administrator lisa jackson finally issued this week. the finding lays the groundwork for the e.p.a. to regulate greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy on the grounds that global warming is hazardous to human health. from the start the obama team has wielded the e.p.a. action as a club, warning congress that it did not cop up with -- if it did not come up with cap-and-trade legislation, the e.p.a. would act on its own. and in a far more blunt fashion than congress preferred, now as one anonymous administration official menaced again this week -- quote -- "if congress doesn't pass this legislation, the e.p.a. is going to have to regulate in a command-and-control way, which will probably generate even more uncertainty." the thing about threats, thoerbgs is that at some point -- though, is at some point you have to act on them. the e.p.a. has been sitting on this finding for months much to the agitation of the environmental groups that have been upping the pressure for action. president obama having failed to get climate legislation, didn't want to show up the cope hagan cli

some hospitals where it is crazy and if anybody has spent any time in a hospital, as julie has, as lisa has and as i have and as any of us to report on health care, it is chaos out there. so these organized systems, i'd like to say do it better for less so we need to start rewarding those systems little bit more. maybe they can expand in the need to find ways to pay other systems to try to get them to emulate those systems. one of the things that is happening right now politically is that some of the very big academic medical centers, you have all read their names in u.s. news report and are supposedly america's best hospitals, don't like this idea because they know they are going to get less money unless they change the way they practice. they don't like the prospect of having to get less money, so this is one of the sort of fights that is going to go on, that these chaotic and less efficient, less effective places are going to have to change and one of the ways to get them to change is to start paying them-- >> i want to point out, and i agree with that but i want to point out the sys

this epa, as soon as president obama got lisa jackson and place, they put an artificial time line onthe group within the epa that was supposed to go out and verify. they issued a report that was suppressed, and they were told point blank that the decision has already been made at the white house, your report is not helpful, it is harmful, stop working on it. i have a copy of that report. i'm sure that mr. sensenbrenner could provide, anybody in this room, and clearly it just a casual review of this report shows they have made a predetermined decision to issue the engagement findings, to act with the facts. this report says that. -- to heck with what the facts are. this report says that. this automatic to sit missile, again, co2 is odorless, colorless, tasteless. i am creating co2 talking to you, when you breathe in and out. and is not harmful to public health, human health in the traditional sense of the term. you have this very esoteric theory that somehow man-made co2 is causing the concentration of the sierra to the rise in the atmosphere and causing all of these things happen in

i can tell you are remarkably fortunate you are at acs to have carolyn at the helm, lisa brown, carolyn frederick -- fredrickson. it has done so much in different areas and i want to thank you here it i want to us to thank you for your journal. i read it. i especially read the article regarding the civil rights division from senator kennedy and i'm very, very grateful for the commitment and the contributions that you have made here at it's really for me a pleasure to be earmarking about 70 days on the job to give you a report on what i've learned and where we are going as the division. and it's so appropriate to do this with the acs because i actually looked at your mission statement and it says to promote the values underlying our constitution including individual rights and liberties and to be enforced for improving the lives of people. am i looked at that i thought to myself that sure sounds a lot like what the civil rights division does as the moral compass of our nation. and so, i want to thank you for this opportunity. you know, and 60 short days i've had a real opportunity to pon

[inaudible conversations] >> good morning and welcome. i am susan dentzer, editor and chief of their affairs and we are happy to be sponsoring this breakfast this morning. we inherited this breakfast from the so-called brosda health breakfast reporter's group, and named in honor of jerry brosda hill unfortunately left's earlier this year having passed away. i thought it would be appropriate, since jerry started his breakfast, largely because believe it or not once upon a time health policy was the real backwater issue and it never came up in the major news conferences in washington and jerry that thought that was

what are you going to do about this, lisa, is the question that we got -- that i have received. well, this is something that we all have to -- have to reckon with. and, madam president, at the conclusion of my remarks, i'd like to make sure that the copy of the letter is included as part of the record. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. murkowski: madam president, i want to -- i want to speak a little bit about how aspects of this legislation have impact specifically on my state. as a rural state, sometimes the impacts that we see are different than you have in more urban states. our geography's different, our lack of providers, our high senior population, our extremely expensive costs. there's a lot of dynamics at play that cause real issues and real concerns. and there have been many words that have been exchange odd this floor about what -- exchange odd this floor about what this bill does do or what it doesn't do. i find it helpful to go to the experts, the think-tank in my state, and ask them flat-out, we've got a -- we've got an institution at the university of

one name, lisa sullka lives in nevada. beautiful city in ve da da.h her two beautiful daughters. the youngest suffers seizures and she's the high risk officer sorry call cancer. though she's supposed to get an exam three months, she doesn't go. she's lucky she goes once a year and most times she's not very lucky. when she lost her job, she lost her health coverage and now both her daughters and herself miss tests that could keep her healthy. her letter ended with a simple mreechlt we want to be able to go to a doctor. that's a correct quote from her. that's why this won't prevent any american from getting the tests and screenings they need. we think they deserve to be able to go to the doctor. teenager named kay celebrity a high school student from sparks, nevada. he used to play soccer when he was younger and now he sticks to skiing and rock climbing. you can forgive them i'm sure for giving up soccer, mr. president. caleb was born with legs that end above his knees. as children mature, even caleb, they grow out of their clothes, most kids grow out

president, i rise in opposition of the lisa murkowski amendment. although well intentioned, it does not guarantee universal access to preventative and screening services for women. it does not remove the cost barriers of high payments and codeductibles. it is -- co-deductibles. it is opposed by the american cancer society and the american heart association. it primarily provides information on those matters. we salute her intention, but we think that her amendment is too limited, and really to quote the american heart association, that it would be an actual step backward in the area of making preventative services available, particularly not only in the area of cancer but in heart and vascular disease, the emerging number one killer for women. i urge the defeat of the murkowski amendment. the presiding officer: the senator's time has expired. the senator from alaska. ms. murkowski: mr. president, i don't believe that the body is in order. the presiding officer: will the senate be in order. thank you. the senator from alaska. ms. murkowski: mr. pres

lisa jackson took the first step toward imposing costly regulations on businesses for emitting carbontop the e.p.a.. just think of what will happen to small businesses and manufacturers hit with the skyrocketing energy bills especially when nations like i'd india and china don't agree to the mandatory emissions limits. with americans facing double digit unemployment, there could not be a worse time for unilaterally disarming our economic growth. small businesses are already feeling anxiety and holding off on hiring. due to the prospect of this national energy tax. government take over of healthcare and other costly policies democrats have in the works. these aren't issues president barack obama, houáq speaker nancy pelosi and democrats in congress will talk about in open copenhagen. but republicans will. also absent from the discussion in copenhagen is the climate gate scandal. recently leaked e-mails reveal climate scientist have along track record of manipulating data to hide scientific q+idence to contradict the global warmi'g establishment to bully citizens and lawmakers into law

administrator lisa jackson, where the federal government is in the process of creating a new partnershipsith our communities, businesses and families in terms of how the federal government does business and invests that money. but even with bold vision and with more value being extracted, we actually are going to need to invest more money. the chinese, for instance, are investing about nine times as much as the united states in their infrastructure needs. we are losing the race for global competitiveness while we see conditions deteriorate here at home. the society of civil engineers has graded american infrastructure at a d and suggest that it require at least $2.2 trillion in the next five years to bring things up to standard. if we act now, there are in fact areas of broad support for more investment, from business, local government and the american people, if this increased money goes to rebuild and renew our country. there is a danger that our current direction will not be as effective as it could be. i am heartened that there appears to be a consensus that we will be spending perhap

here's a news conference held by lisa jackson. >> good afternoon, everyone.a special hello to those who are online and to everyone on the phone. the scientific community, the business community, and the policy world have spent decades studying green house gas solution and climate change of scientists in the united states and around the world have tracked in the last century. and in particular the last three decades alarming increases in the amount of green house gases in our skies. that increase is deteriorating the natural balance in our atmosphere and changing our climate. there has and will continue to be debates about how, and how quickly climate change will happen if we fail to act. but the overwhelming amount of scientific study show that the threat is real, as does the evidence before our very eyes. polar icecaps crumbling into the ocean, changing migratory pat yernses -- patterns of animals, historic droughts, more powerful storms and disappearing coastlines. after decades of this mounting evidence, climate change has now become a household issue. par

practices are that are out there rather than him having a task force telling him that's the protocol for lisa. she's 52. she's able to get a mammogram every other year now. i want to know that it's me and my doctor that are making these decisions. i -- i would hope that members would take a look at -- at the amendment that -- that i will offer up and -- and consider how it allows for truly that kind of openness, that kind of transparency and gives -- gives individuals the freedom of choice in their health care that i think we all want. with that, i thank my colleague from wyoming, and i yield the floor. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from montana's recognized. [inaudible] the presiding officer: without objection, it is so ordered. mr. enzi: mra senator: mr. pres? the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island is recognized. mr. whitehouse: i thank the presiding officer, and i'm delighted to be on the floor with the distinguished member of the finance committee and the distinguished senator from michigan, who has worked so hard on these issues. i'm sure that

[applause] >> thank you so much, lisa. i just want to say that we are so privileged at nrdc and in the nation to have an epa administrator who is so committed to protecting the environment, to ensuring that citizens all across the country are fairly treated to healthy air, water, food, and who -- those who have suffered particularly from disproportionate impact over the years from lack of environmental quality are so high on her agenda. so i am a huge admirer of lisa jackson. i'm also a friend but so grateful that the president has appointed somebody who for whom environmental protection is the mission of her life. who will do everything in her power to ensure that the future of this country and the well-being of our citizens are protected going forward. so she is a total champ. and we're so lucky to have her as part of the environmental future of this country and also here with us tonight. i also want to thank all of my colleagues and friends from nrdc and from the environmental community from the hill, from all the agenc

lisa hill lard here. >> a couple of big stories. we start with the caps in toronto, taking on the leafs. washington trying to get a four- game road trip off to a quick start. >> hockey night in canada. the capitals making their last trip of the season. 2 minutes in. ovechkin gets the 21st goal of the season. and ovechkin with a beautiful pass to backstrom. 2nd period we go. the mapleleafs respond. interviewer cannot handle the -- neuvirth cannot handle the shots. fell within 1. then on the 2- man advantage, kessel catches neuvirth off guard and just like that, we are all tied at 2. moments later t caps top line at it again, ovechkin sets up backstrom. to get the 2nd of the game, 10th on the year, caps in the lead, once again. 3-2. now, tied 3 in the 3rd. makes no mistake. puts it home. 2nd of the game. toronto up 4-3. later, washington on a power play, looking to tie this up. turned it over at the blue line. saw that last night. beats neuvirth. two whole wins over the capitals this season. they win it, 6-3. let's take you back to th

now, some have suggested that, well, lisa, your amendment doesn't require the insurance companies to provide any prevention or screening services, there's no mandate in there. and that if we don't have a mandate, then the insurance companies aren't going to provide health care prevention, screening and services. i think we need to ask the question here: what is the point of prevention? if it's to prevent more expensive care in the future by preventing the chronic and the more acute illnesses. so shouldn't the insurance companies want to utilize more preventive services, utilize more screenings, more wellness services in order to keep down the costs of care based on the judgment of the doctors, based on the judgment of the professionals and not necessarily those that, again, are -- are appointed as part of the government entity? i know that within my staff, i have a staff member who -- she's on the fehbp plan, but they contact her on a somewhat regular basis about her diabetes care, ensuring that she's taking her medications, getting the necessary preventive services offered by her in
