mr. weissman: yes. the question you asked about -- to senator kennedy -- cassidy, in 1995, the point that nih stopped using the regional pricing provisions, they added a new category so the original category was standard -- those stayed roughly consistent after the removal of the regional pricing clause. they added a new category of material. the numbers that show the seeming just position reflected change in -- seeming juxtaposition regarding change -- dr. makary: it happens. the american cancer society said that 48% of cancer patients say they avoided or delayed future care for fear of the bill. with the promise of the affordable care act lowering costs not pending after, we have created new deductibles. sen. sanders: i don't think senator cassidy, my hypothesis was absurd. >> we could talk about vaccines, like -- lack of availability worldwide and that is different than pahpa. theoretically medicare part b providers coverage for most of the cancer drugs. sen. sanders: occasionally? judith: -- sen. cassidy: i'm not -- if the affordable care act was successful -- sen. sanders: i am not here to defend the

house lawyer pat cipollone warned cassidy hutchinson repeatedly not just that he thought it was a bad idea, but it can get everyone involved in it in deep legal trouble. >> mr. cipollone said something to the effect of, please, make sure we don't go up to the capitol, cassidy, keep in touch with me. we're going to get charged with every crime imaginable if we make that movement happen. >> and do you remember which crimes mr. cipollone was concerned with? >> in the days leading up to the 6th we had conversations about potentially obstructing justice or defrauding the electoral count. >> obstructing justice or defrauding the electoral count. well, yesterday nbc news confirmed the three statutes mr. trump has been warned about in the target letter he received from jack smith, and one of them is conspiracy to defraud the united states, which certainly sounds like it's in the ballpark of defrauding the electoral count. and it is important to remember even though trump ultimately did not get to the capitol that day, he tried to aggressively and repeatedly do just that. you might remember cassidy hutchinson's testimony to that end. ms. hutchinson was told when tru

trained federal prosecutor tos who populate doj, taking taped depositions of the likes of cassidy hutchinson and mr. jacob and mr. shores and mr. stepien, and -- i mean, clarence thomas' wife to -- i mean, the meticulousness, the depth, the volume of the interviews that were gathered, the presentation of evidence. it seemed to prove two really important things. one, if doj brought a criminal case, it would not be novel. that was a big hang-up about 18 months ago. two, if doj worries the public couldn't process the story about a sitting president trying to cling to power using anti-democratic and legal methods, the public very much is capable of understanding that story. in fact, it broke decades of midterm political history in that it averted a red wave. i mean, it seems that two of the big hang-ups were wiped out by the work of the congressional committee as well as all the evidence developed by it. >> yeah. we've talked before on this program about how general pli throughout my career i've kept at arm's length and even held in disdain the notion that the serious comprehensive investigation could

. >> thank you, doctor cassidy, senator cortez masto. >> thank you, mr chairman and thank you to the panel. it's a great discussion. um i had the opportunity to listen in my office uh to a lot of the discussion this morning, um particularly the integrated model concept that we are talking about today. and it was so appreciative of my colleague, senator cornyn asking doctor the question about why it's important and that's where we need to start, obviously, but let me ask you this, uh doctor tress, how would this integrated model uh help us alleviate the existing workforce shortage? would it? >> i think it'd go a long way to helping senator and thank you for all of your work in this domain. the opportunity is this if we partner psychiatrists with appropriate support staff embedding into primary care. we can keep people in primary care without them having to physically be seen by psychiatry, one psychiatrist for two or three hours a week can review a panel of between 40 and 60 patients to provide adequate support to the primary care team so that we can give guidance and support them. ad

cassidy hutchinson before her testimony? >> i don't comment on anything about january 6th. >> there was one year ago. since then, mr. meadows has had to deal with more than just a congressional committee. a judge ordered him to testify for the federal grand jury investigating january 6th, as well as trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. but in the days and weeks since then, mark meadows has sort of disappeared. that radio silence has led to rumors that mark meadows could've flipped on his former boss. which brings us to today, when mr. meadows refused to even say the words january 6th. anne >> have you testify before the grand jury? >> i don't talk about anything generous sixth related. >> you think it's appropriate for the investigation? >> at least one federal prosecutor says that meadows silence speaks volumes. >> what i will say in watching that video is that that looks to me like somebody who is a cooperating with the federal government. >> joining us now is mary mccord, former acting assistant attorney general for the national security of department of justice and co host of msnbc podcast, prosecuting

cassidy hutchinson's testimony. let me play that for you. >> after mr. giuliani left the campus, i went back up to our office. and i found mr. meadows in his office on the couch, scrolling through his phone, saying, some interesting conversations with rudy, mark. sounds like we're going to go to the capitol. he didn't look up from his phone and said something to the effect of, there's a lot going on, cass, but i don't know. things might get real, real bad on january 6. >> i feel like we grade meadows' legal exposure on a scale because he has a competent and highly regarded lawyer. but he's in deep doo doo. i don't know if he doesn't have exposure in classified documents, as well. i worked in a white house and no one knows more than the chief of staff. in terms of who was putting what in what boxes, that's mark meadows' rear end on the line. in terms of norah, that's mark meadows. in who was dealing with the president's documents postwhite house, that's the chief of staff unless he delegates that. that's documents. on the coup, meadows is texting with everyone under the gosh darn sun that he knows it's a lie a

mr. de oliveira was loyal and whether or not that was the threshold with which he could get an attorney paid for by trump. >> well, it was reminiscent of the testimony we got from cassidyhat he was loyal, but that finding the lawyer and making sure that he was on the team would keep him from telling things or revealing things that would be damaging to the ex-president. hutchinson's testimony basically was that she wasn't told how much the lawyer was being paid, basically that this lawyer was counseling her not to tell the full truth. and in fact he advised her to put herself in a position to be held in contempt of congress. they dangled jobs in front of her to make sure that she stayed loyal. it's sort of a mobsters type approach to people in your, quote, organization, and it's sort of reminded me of that. >> i know these are incentivized deals, but does this not qualify as witness intimidation? >> this was one of the things the committee referred to the department of justice. we are very disturbed about the testimony. we didn't have any corroborating evidence. but there were a lot of the witnesses that appeared before the committee were paid for by trump world, that's

cassidy? >> thank you again, let me ask you what romney said. i think all of your employees for working tirelessly through the pandemic, and i really appreciate. that >> mr. connolly, thank you. congratulations on a football season. that's really good. and mr. connolly, we have witnesses on the second panel that are going to suggest drug pricing policies that they say would increase access to medical countermeasures? now, i raise that because i hear that from experts, medical counter expert development is uniquely challenging, that many of these companies are small companies. that many of the companies that -- went bankrupt, and others got bogged by bigger companies, and then bigger companies or getting out of medical countermeasures. is that fairly accurate depiction of the state of the place? >> senator cassidy. thank you for the good wishes for the green wave. we appreciate that. we're very proud of that the type of company that we have to work with are often small biotech companies because there is not a commercial market for countermeasures, typically. so you have to work with the smaller companies that have to come in and are willing to be innovati
