ms. richards, this is my 27th year in congress. i'm sure i have seen many male witnesses treated much tougher than you have today. and surely you don't expect us to be easier on you because you're a woman? >> absolutely not. that's not how my mama raised me. >> right. all right, let me ask you this. you say in your testimony a lot of women wouldn't have access to certain types of health care were it not for planned parenthood. do you know that the department of health and human services say there are 9,727 health care service delivery sites, 4,082 rural health clinics, 1,200 federally funded qualified health centers that also operate 9,000 other sites, over 9,000. do you know about that? and you also know that there are over 2,000 pregnancy health centers over 80% which receive no federal funds at all. and that doesn't even count many hundreds of thousands of private doctors and nurses and health care delivery services, walk-in clinics and so forth. have you taken all of that into consideration? >> what i really -- certainly. what

ms. richard or mr. staal, whichever wants to handle it.hy has the administration opted to channel aid for the humanitarian crisis through the united nations rather than through direct aid or ngos? would it not be more efficient and cost-effective to work directly with partners on the ground? so either one of you that would like to take that. >> i can start. we do both. we channel aid through the best u.n. operational agencies, humanitarian agencies, and we also work with the top nongovernmental organizations, and we try to use all channels to get aid inside syria, which tom is the expert on. and our sense is that because the u.n. plays a coordinating role and reviews the requests from the whole span of agencies and puts together these appeals, it manages dumly cation and makes sure that professionals who know what they're doing are responding with the aid. now at the same time, most aid workers are from the countries in which they're working. so inside syria, it's mostly syria. in jordan, it's jordanians, et cetera. but at the top, there a

ms. richards, that's not what you said. >> congressman jordan, we don't own anything in those countries.ay, let's -- we keep going. >> our global -- well -- >> i have to keep going. >> seth: chaffetz needed to keep things going because he wanted as much time as possible for the most important part of any congressional hearing, a super confusing slide. >> i need to show this last slide. this one, i don't understand. >> you created this slide. >> here's the problem, i'm just trying to wrap my -- >> i don't have any idea what it is. [ laughter ] >> well, it's the reduction over the course of the years in pink. that's the reduction in the breast exams and the red is the increase in the abortions. i pulled those numbers directly out of your corporate reports. >> oh, excuse me, my loggers informing me that the source of this is actually americans united for life, which is an anti-abortion group, so i would check your source. >> then we will get to the bottom of the truth of that.

ms. richard, with 12.2 million syrians within syria who are in need of humanitarian assistance, we've gotin a country with 4.5 million people in lebanon, 1.1 million syrian refugees. in jordan, 10% of the country's population are syrian refugees, equivalent. to what extent are we concerned about the destabilizing effect of long-term refugee presence in small, delicate countries in the middle east region? >> thank you for your question. we're very concerned about it. it's one reason that we in very often in discussion with these government officials in those countries. we have a very strong aid program in jordan, that is stretching now to do more to help the communities that have taken in all these refugees. i've been very influenced by the high commissioner for refugees what's visiting washington right now, who really believed that this required more than just relief to the refugees. but also requires help to the communities, whose hospital beds are filled, whose schools are gone to second shifts, to accommodate syrian children, whose water systems are straining, water and sanitation syst

richards,tion, ms.here seems to be this continuous thought that if planned parenthood went away that there would be these other health care services for millions of women because you went away. there is a suggestion that all of these commodity health centers would just step in and fill up. sara rosenbaum, professor of health and law and policy a george washington has worked with the community health centers for years and i "a claim that committed health centers rarely can absorb the loss of planned parenthood is a gross misrepresentation." i would ask you, miss richards, can, and your experience in health care, the perception that if you went away, it would be totally absorbed, can you please respond to that? >> i think this is a really important point and i know there's been a lot of discussion, for the record, we see 2.7 million patients a year, of of them are at 158% poverty world below, so these are a group of women and men and young people are often uninsured lessertainly have fewer -- access to ca
