i had the privilege earlier this summer to hear a playwright lynn no nodidge speak after she advocated for women's rights in the congo, and i wonder how you see creative practice accompanying and amplifying policy. >> that is a wonderful question because i think the arts and artists are one of our most effective tools in reaching beyond and through repressive regimes in giving hope to people. it was a very effective tool during the cold war. i have had so many eastern europeans tell me that it was american music, it was american literature, it was american poetry that kept them going. i remember when a guest came to the white house during my husband's administration duringing a state dinner. i said, well, who would you like to entertain at the state dinner? i didn't know what he was going to say. he say lou reed. and it was his music that was just so important for us in prison, out of prison, and you could name many other american artists who have traveled -- we're going to try to increase the number of artistic exchanges we do. so that we can get people into settings where they will b

phr-pbt, the lynn -- mr. president, the lincoln amendment wisely uses that next, that new tax revenue, and i repeat, generated by this measure to further shore up medicare. mr. president, an observation that i want to make, as i've listened to the debate over a long period of time, not just in these recent weeks but long before this about getting health care improved for the people across our country, over 40 million people who can't go to a doctor but who will go to an emergency room, draw a ticket like you're waiting for a table in a restaurant and hope that you get seen before some critical disease gets worse. what we hear is objection after objection. they like the status quo. they've got their friends in the industry. just look at the advertising budgets that we see. and the percentage of commercials paid for by those who were opposed has contrasted with those who desperately need the insurance. we're seeing now, for instance, that one element of this -- of our reform program is the political -- the gove
