brendon williams told our hearing that 63% of nursing home residents in new hampshire rely on medicaid. as was reported on sunday in "the new york times", the deep cuts to medicaid included in the senate bill would force many retirees out of nursing homes or lead states to require residents' families to help pay for care. for many families this just -- this is just not an option. they don't have the finances to be able to do that. and so what happens? their loved ones get kicked out of their residential care. so we also heard compelling testimony from health care providers who treat people with substance use disorders. melissa is a private clinician in new hampshire. and she told us, for the majority of medicaid expansion patients, it's the time time they had health insurance. it allowed me to assist them in diagnosing their illness and to assist them in treating their medical needs. it has been a powerful experience to watch them heal and grow as a result of receiving proper care. my patients have been able to get a job and gain financial independence. again, if your hearted is not mo

the people of new hampshire and the people of this country have a right to know what republicans are doing behind closed doors. this is a life or death situation for many americans and i was in the city of rochester on monday morning meeting at a hospital with frequent providers in one of the doctors expressed the frustration i've heard from people throughout new hampshire. she said to me do you mean they they are not even going to have a hearing on this bill and i had to tell her sadly, no there is no hearing planned. senator kuntz. >> thank you senator shaheen that i'm hearing the same thing in delaware that she's hearing in new hampshire which is cries of concern and anxiety from parents, from children, from employers and families not knowing what will be in the republican health care bill. we now just heard from leader mcconnell that there may be a big reveal next thursday but this is much more akin to a reality tv show revealed that the legislative process that should produce a serious and thorough bill that will remake health care in america. senator shaheen mentioned in the pr

that your hearing new hampshire. which is why is a concern and anxiety from parents, from children, employers and families. not knowing what will be in the republican health care bill. we have now just heard from leader mcconnell that there may be been revealed next thursday but this is much more akin to a reality t.v. show reveal than the legislative process that should produce a serious and thorough bill that will remake healthcare in america. as senator shaheen mentioned, in a process that produced the affordable care act, there were a remarkable number of hearings. lots of my constituents have forgotten that record. and they rely on the media to help set the record straight. some of our colleagues are saying that the process to produce the affordable care act is also secretive. it was also behind closed doors and that they could be further from the truth. the senate finance committee held more than 50 hearings, round tables and detailed reviews of republic. they spent eight days working up the legislation in comm

one of those people is karla from newfields, new hampshire. as a college student karla suffered from significant pain. she needed immediate medical care so she went to her local planned parenthood. it turned out that her pain was caused by ovarian cysts, and the treatment for those cysts was birth control. as a college student on a limited budget before the affordable care act had passed, karla couldn't afford birth control. because she went to planned parenthood, though, she got the treatment she needed at a price she could afford. her pain went away. she was able to graduate college and eventually start a family, something she might not have been able to do if her underlying condition had not been treated, caught when it was. that was the power of access to appropriate and affordable health care in her life at the right time. karla's story is a story of the thousands of new hampshire women who've received primary and preventive health care services from planned parenthood. mr. president, trumpcare is a disaster for women. trumpcare defunds p

one of the things we are very proud of in new hampshire's the university of new hampshire where our researchers have played a central role in expanding knowledge about a number of the phenomenon that nasa was passed one of which was physics and part of the helio physics mission including the multiscale mission which was launched in 2015. can you talk about the impact that the mms mission has had on her understanding of helio physics and why that's important? >> absolutely. one of the phenomenon is magnetic reconnection that is kind of the plasma universe out there. as trying to understand the connection because what happens with energy? what is the dashboard is the energy energy go when connection occurs? we have discovered 30 of those and what mms allows us to do tweeting get a three-dimensional view. the phenomenon everyone wonders if that happens in the entire universe of pacing her understanding of that particular energy plasma connection as we go forward. it's been a fascinating mission for us, no doubt about it. >> as you point out it's critical because as we have seen changing space weat

the commander of the fifth new hampshire to which the fifth new hampshire belonged was edward cross. character who had traveled all around the united states before the civil war, but when the war broke out, he came back to his state, took command of the fifth enhancer infantry. over the course of this war up to this point, july 2, he has been wounded 12 different times in action. today will be wound number 13. as his mentor getting ready for battle, general hancock saw him and yelled -- cross, you will win your star today. and cross turned back to hancock and said, no, sir, this is my last battle. his men noticed something unusual. usually when cross went into battle, he wore a red bandanna around his head. at this battle, he did the same thing, but this in the bandanna was black. a number of men saw that as a horrible omen. gade intoght his or the wheatfield -- cross brought his brigade into the wheatfield. in the fight that followed, colonel cross was hit by a bullet that was clearly mortal from the very start. his soldiers removed him from the field and colonel cross died that nig

you were at home, in new hampshire. >> i wasn't. i was not.ter: over and over gregg pledged his love for her. betsy believes he was desperately trying to keep her on his side before the trial. >> betsy, i love you more than life itself. you are my partner, my lover, my life, and -- i'm out of time. >> reporter: "you're my partner, my lover and my life." >> yep. >> reporter: is that pulling at you hearing that? >> oh, god, yeah. >> all those memories? >> yeah. he knew how much i loved him. and he was willing to play on that. and that really made me more angry. >> reporter: gregg owens' trial began in january 2016, just over a year after the shooting. the prosecutors presented a number of pieces of physical evidence investigators had uncovered against gregg. in his car, a pair of muddy boots. one appeared to match that print at the crime scene. and at his house they found a ski mask that resembled the one the homeowner described. and these shell casings in a cup on his desk. why were those so critical? >> they were critical because they were the

the reperp cushions are drastic for new hampshire especially looking at resources that come in.ast $1.5 billion of cost to the state of new hampshire. we have no sales tax or income tax. we really control our costs at the local level. that downshifting of cost to a state like ours is unfair and more important, not practical. no practical way to implement the plan as it is. i have a lot of faith in the senate to come together, revise the plan and put something forward that streets states a little more on parity with aone another and not be financially impractical, if i can, on states like new hampshire faces an opioid crisis. >> you have a number of about 100,000 found access through medicaid. you're lose some $20 million in federal funds in fiscal 2021 alone. what this were means if enacted as-is. what would happen to those people? >> the $20 million you're referring to really effects the expanded medicaid program. one thing people have to realize, one of the problems with the bill, reforming obamacare, which has to happen. obamacare famed, i think that -- those horses are out o

the teacher in space, christa mcauliffe who died so tragically was from new hampshire. today companies are helping to supply nasa with technology to improve both local, orbited deep space exploration exploration.n. also a leader in space weather and an operating major instruments to study solar physics. the space grant is inspiringentt love of science in helping undergraduate and graduate students through scholarships, fellowships and internships. through research grants and education programs every state is a space state. unfortunately the fiscal year 18 budget request for nasa cuts many programs that keep the agency connected to the rest ofr america. it eliminates nasa education mission directorate including the space granted up score. nasa education programs have has challenges. i don't think the way to meet the challenges is to eliminate the program. when we met in my office we agreed that one of the most important jobs is to help kids learn to love science and technology. i look forward to working with you in the chairman to ensure that we can help inspire and trai

shaheen: a state like new hampshire -- sorry to interrupt, but a state like new hampshire does not have the funding to put together programs if you take away the federal dollars that support these at-risk kids. i want to go on to follow up senator durbin's question about student loan debt. because in new hampshire, we also have the highest average student loan debt in the country. we have over 52,000 students who receive subsidized loans from the department. we have an average of $36,000 per student graduating with student loans debt. so again, why are you reducing opportunities for hard-working out-of-state students to earn the money they need for work? sec. devos: senator if i could , just refer back for one moment to the 21st century program, half of the students that qualified for that have shown no outcome in general. sen. shaheen: that data may be true nationwide, but that data is not true in new hampshire. so why are you going to make the students in new hampshire suffer for the fact that there are programs in some places not working as well as they should? and isn't that the dep

in new hampshire, they are working. >> new hampshire has the opportunity to support programs that are working. there is plenty of flexibility in the other funds going to new hampshire. >> there is flexibility if you have money. if there aren't dollars there, how can we support these kinds of programs? that's the challenge. when you eliminate knows efforts that are making a difference for students, whether it be students in college who need help with their student loan debt or at-risk kids after school. they don't have any other options. what do we tell those students who are going to see their lives changed and disappointed because these are no longer available? >> only 8% of the funding for education broadly comes from the federal government. 92%, the states. >> believe me, i understand, as a former governor who struggled for years with trying to fund education in new hampshire, i totally get that. i also understand when a program is working for students and making a difference in their lives, to pull that rug out from under them with nowhere else to go is a defeat for the policy and

in my state of new hampshire, you can't pass a bill if it's not had a hearing. and the senate here in washington should work the same way. i continue to urge my colleagues to hold public hearings on this bill so that we can examine the bill for ourselves and get feedback from our constituents and stakeholders. we do know that this legislation will be very similar to the house trumpcare bill, which president trump himself called mean. and calling it mean is even putting it lightly. trumpcare threatens to have devastating impacts on millions of americans. today i'm going to address three specific ways that trumpcare is mean to people in new hampshire and across the nation. first it undermines the medicaid program. second, it hurts our seniors. and, third, it continues this administration's efforts to roll back women's access to health care. mr. president, as governor, i worked to pass and then reauthorize new hampshire's bipartisan medicaid expansion plan. that provides coverage now to over 50,000 hardworking granite staters. and trumpcare, by proposing to repeal

i read the legislation by the senator from new hampshire. it appears the legislation was filed today. instead of having a chance to read the bill, the american people are asked to have this passed now. this bill seeks to address another major failure of obamacare. that's what they are trying to do here. as a doctor, mr. president, i want insurance to be affordable for patients all across the country. this bill confirms what we all know -- obamacare is not affordable. the senator is well aware of the premium increases in her own state. it not just the premiums that are skyrocketing. this week i spoke to a woman in wyoming. she told me the deductible under her obamacare plan is so high that her husband really refuses to visit the doctor. she said at $6,500 for her and him, he will not go to a doctor. according to the supporters of obamacare, this person is covered under obamacare, but as a doctor i see things differently. health care must be more affordable for everyone. the senator's proposal seeks to throw more money at a systemic problem wi

shaheen: a school like new hampshire -- i am sorry to interrupt you, but a state like new hampshire doesn't have the funds to put together program if you take away the federal dollars that support these at-risk kids. i want to go on to follow up senator durbin's question about student loan debt, because we also have the highest average student loan debt in the country. we have more than 52,000 students who receive subsidized loans from the department. we have an average of $36,000 per student graduating with student loan debt. so again, why are you reducing opportunities for students to earn the money they need for college by eliminating the work-study program, eliminating the opportunity to get those subsidized student loans? betsy devos: senator, if i could refer back to one moment to the 21st century program. the reality is that less than hoff of the students that qualified for that are actually participating in the program. of those that do, they attend very infrequently, and there has been shown no outcomes in general. sen. shaheen: that data may be true nation-wide. that data is not t

throughur policy minutemen held in new hampshire and they do business in new hampshire and massachusetts. year, premiums went up 24% and this year, they were talking about raising the premiums 30%. friday, they announced they were going out of business, january 1, they're not going to write anymore policy so my wife and i have to find another policy. the only other choices anthem. plan that isnze -- $900dollars a month a month with a $50 deductible per person with a maximum out-of-pocket of $6,300 per person and -- host: what have you been paying under the minutemen plan? that's whatller: we're paying, almost $900 a month with those deductibles and anthem, it was $1200 a month, everyone at a silver plan, it was $1400 a month or a $3500 deductible per person. now the only choice is going to be anthem, so guess my question is with everybody talking about the costsre high, are. what it costs to go to a hospital or pharmaceuticals. can sayur guests specifically what they would do, and be specific on what you would do to lower the cost of a doctor's visit, a hospital visit, pharmaceuticals. p

new hampshire ranks second in the country in drug overdose deaths and they have reported high availability of heroin in the area. new mexico and utah rank eighth and ninth respectively. but only 4.7% reported heroin as the greatest threat. this discrepancy may be explained by a number of factors, including fentanyl. historically, the federal government has concentrated on reducing the supply of illicit drugs. in recent years, effort to reduce the demand for these drugs have increased. drug control funding for supplier reduction has remained relatively flat over the last several years, while funding for drug treatment and prevention has increased. thank you. >> dr. sacco, thank you for your testimony. it's an honor to introduce my attorney general, mike dewine, who has served as a state senator in ohio, as a u.s. senator and now as ohio's 50th attorney general. ohio's tough drunk driving law has been a leading proponent for highway safety. he's advanced the use of dna evidence for victims of crime and worked tirelessly to fight the open yod epidemic in our state. i've known mike for decades

but each time going to the new hampshire courts, and getting a retesting until finally the new hampshire supreme court affirmed his conviction last year. some 40 plus years after the original conviction. so it does -- it does pose some interesting problems in part because the tests keep changing. now, i think that perhaps we might talk about the whole notion of what constitutes fairness in criminal trials. is it fair -- i think people frequently look back on the warren court and see it as a court that was really breaking paths in criminal procedure. is that a fair characterization, judge dyk? >> oh, i think it is, yeah. of course the term before gideon , there was matt vs. ohio, which applied the fourth amendment exclusionary rule to the states. and miranda, fegan. there was a revolution in criminal law. i remember i went to harvard law school and graduated in 1961. in those days at harvard, and it may have been different at other law schools and hope it was different at other law schools, criminal law was taught without reference to criminal procedure. my criminal law course was taught

new hampshire ranks second in the country in drug overdose deaths and the report a high-availability of heroin in the area. new mexico and utah ranked eighth and ninth but only 4.7% of survey respondents in themexa southwest reported heroin as the greatest threat, 22.6% reported high availability of heroin.oin this may be explained by number of factors including the lasalle the fentanyl. the federal government has construed on reducing the supply of illicit drugs. in recent years efforts reduce the demand has increased. federal drug control dollars are to go towards addressing display time. federal drug control funding for supply reductions remained flat over the last several years while funding for drug treatment and prevention has increased. thank you.n >> thank you for your testimony. it's an honor to introduce my attorney general, mike dewine asserts that the states and in, as a member of united states house of representatives, your senator and not as ohio's 50th attorney general. you are a tough ohio, ohio's top drunk driving lesbian a leading proponent for highway safety. he's a

with your degree from unh, i encourage you to do something i did -- make new hampshire your home.ontinue to grow your roots here. you can have a rewarding career and live a vibrant life in this state with an excellent quality of life. after going out of state for my degrees, the best decision that i ever made in my life, really, was to come home back here in new hampshire to build my life. there are so many opportunities in new hampshire to get involved in your community and to be part of something that's bigger than just yourself. whether it is serving in local or state government, volunteering with a nonprofit, coaching a team, or even running for office -- if i could do it, you can, too. i know for sure, had i started my career somewhere else, i would have never had the amazing experiences that i have had, and the privilege of serving the state of new hampshire. -- if youise you this stay in this state and you build your post-graduate life here, you will not regret it and will get so much in return. -- so much in return from new hampshire. now, i remember what it was like sitti

attorneys and at least did new hampshire with a person that was fired how many u.s. attorneys have been nominated?. >> when the first analysis for said the nominations yesterday that there was some press that was misleading but obviously it is very important to me and know how important than the last two saturdays i have spent in the department interviewing each weekend so we anticipate by the end of the summer we will see a large number of u.s. attorneys nominated. >> minder standing at least in new hampshire to see the way was there a reason why every u.s. attorney was fired on the same day?. >> maddow every but because i was one of them. [laughter] there were four that were not fired but i was not in the department at that time that i learned about them after the decision was made. >> you mentioned in the opening statement the tragedy in georgia those officers that were murdered in those said to have a very difficult job that is very dangerous so i am troubled by the fact that while the administration's hiring freeze was in april that the department of justice imp

beginning with her work in new hampshire at the new hampshire housing finance agency. that was followed, as you pointed out, by services white house liaison at h.u.d. in the reagan administration. pam and first got to know each other when i was governor and she served in a succession of high level positions. director of new hampshire's small business development centers, the deputy chief of staff and later state director for then senator bob smith of new hampshire. d assistant deputy secretary of h.u.d. as you pointed out, she later served as h.u.d. assistant secretary in the office of community planning and development. as an executive with the urban land institute. what impressed me always about pam is that she understands that access to affordable housing and a safe place to call home is the foundation of families and strong communities. and throughout her career, she's been engaged in these challenges as a thinker, a leader and a problem solver. and i have a special -- especially appreciated her ability to bring together disparate stakeholder groups, to forge bipar

i visited many in new hampshire. one of the things that were cites how to respond has been the expansion of medicaid and get medicaid dollars and we have many hospital, community mental health centers that have been able to hire people that are looking at expanding and expanding treatment because they are able to count on those medicaid dollars that are available through the affordable care act. as we look at what happens with health care here that's one of the real challenges i think we face. i want to go, i'm not sure dr. collins who to direct this to, one of the real chronic diseases that we are challenged with in this country is diabetes. i have both a personal and a policy interest in type 1 diabetes, and i think there are many people in the country that don't understand there is a difference between type 1 and type ii diabetes, that type 1 has nothing to do with lifestyle, it has nothing to do with what you've eaten, it has nothing to do with where you live, sadly, but it also is increasing at rates that will m

in new hampshire, we're second to west virginia in the percentage of overdose deaths. and this year we've seen another drug arrive in new hampshire and have had six people die in the state from it. and i understand that the department is looking at reprioritizing efforts to address drug enforcement. but i guess i just disagree with you in a couple of the areas. one is on eliminating the cops anti-heroin task force grant program. senator feinstein talked about the -- her efforts to start a focus on meth which has been successful. it was looking at that successful model that senator leahy and i did in trying to support local law enforcement. while i think a lot of our dea agents and our federal law enforcement officials do a great job, we just don't have as many of them in new hampshire as we do local law enforcement, and we need to provide some resources for local law enforcement, pause they're the people who day in and day out are on the front lines. so i would urge you to go back and rethink whether eliminating that task force, the antiheroin task force program is wha

it is my understanding, at least in new hampshire, we have not seen wholesale firing of u.s. attorneys as we have with this administration. is there a reason and for u.s. attorney was fired on the same day? mr. rosenstein: i am pleased to tell you that not everyone was fired, because i was one of them that day. there were four who were not fired, but i was not in the department at that time. i learned about the firings after that decision was made. so i have no insight as to why that decision was made. sen. shaheen: you mentioned, in your opening statement, the tragedy in georgia and officers who were killed, murdered. as a reminder that those who work in our prisons do have a very difficult job that is very dangerous. d to have a very difficult job that is very dangerous so i am troubled by the fact that while the administration's hiring freeze was in april that the department of justice imposed a hiring freeze so while there was a blanket exemption it does not include the bureau of prisons which is still under the freeze. and with those offers could do to that imposition of

it's my understanding at least in new hampshire we haven't seen wholesale firing of u.s. attorneys in the way that we did in this administration. was there a reason why every u.s. attorney in the country was fired on the same day? >> so, senator, i'm pleased to tell you not everyone was fired because i was one of the u.s. attorneys that day. >> good. >> there were four, there were four who were not fired, but i was not in the department at that time. i learned about the firings after the decision had been made so i have no insight into what that decision was made. >> you mentioned in your opening statement the tragedy in georgia and the officers who were killed, murdered. it's a reminder that those who work in our prisons do have a very difficult job that is very dangerous, and i'm troubled by the fact that administration's hiring freeze was lifted in april that the department of justice has been under a self-imposed hiring freeze since mid-february. while there was a blanket exemption for positions relating to public safety and national security, the bureau of prisons wh

we're doing a documentary on this crisis, deserves this attention, new hampshire uniquely hit and new jersey uniquely hit. if they came to you and said we will give you a voucher, you will be fine, do your concerns about the bill end? >> no, they don't. what happens if you just flood the money into treatment centers. we welcome that, we're asking for $45 billion for more opioid treatment. you have to have the coverage with it. you won't access the treatment without the coverage whether exchanges or medicaid, you have to be able to have that coverage so you can access the treatment the extra dollars provide. to me, it goes hand-in-hand. >> i hear you. let's discuss why it goes hand-in-hand because you have many people in your party saying it doesn't. we will give less increases in medicaid but will provide an off-ramp because a lot of people shouldn't be on medicaid and help them get care in the private market and do so through tax across to use going forward. what do you think of that analysis? do you think that is good as you would see now? >> it would be states like mine who have th
