emphasis on more laws in north carolina, let's put it into the polls to make sure that every north carolinian eligible can cast that vote and be counted. let's make sure that we extend early voting again. we know that 70% of african-americans in north carolina vote early. and let's give them the opportunity to do that. we have a program at it the naacp where we can do sunday voting, and we call it all souls to the polls, and we put an emphasis on citizenship as part of your citizenship in north carolina. we see laws like this as creating new obstacles for voter participation. if there's a problem, let's solve it, but we see this as creating a problem to solve a problem that didn't exist in the first place. >> it pitted two views of voting and two values of america, a sort of low threshold and a higher threshold standard of getting people into polling places. we'll talk about that when we come back, this is "inside story," stay with us. >> people are not getting the care that they need >> a partisan standoff... >> i ride in opposition to obamacare >> millions un-insured... >> it hurts to see m

he sends the north carolinians in and alabamian boys and drives them back and finally they take high ground at the mule shoe called the bloody angle. manages to reoccupy the salient but he has to keep it occupied until he can get a new line in the rear and it takes him something like 22 hours to get a good line built in the rear. it's raining all night and the next day. several units are punched into this mule shoe occupying the confederate side of the entrenchments. in front of them are the earth works thrown up and immediately on the other side were the attacking union forces, sometimes 20 to 30 lines deep. and basically those two units separated before by miles, now they were separated by a few yards of dirt and it's almost as though all of the anger and hatred of the last three years finally bursts forth. the descriptions are horrific. it's raining and bloody. the good shots are handed rifles so they can keep firing until they're killed. new men jump up and take up their position. they use co-horn mortars, the confederates do. some of the mississippians that made bets what about

what are 500,000 north carolinians going to do when they need medical care? madam speaker, will i tell you what they are going to do. they will either not seek the treatment that they need, causing their condition to get worse, which will lead to miss work and therefore unable to pay their bills. ultimately they will find themselves in a much worse situation than if they had coverage that they deserve. the other option is that they will do what many uninsured people have always done out of necessity. go to an emergency room, be treated, and walk out with a bill that they have no ability to pay. hospitals will then write the cost of treatment off, as uncompensated care. in order to recoup some of the lost money, hospitals will then increase the cost of their procedures which results in higher premiums for the insured. medicaid expansion isn't just good for our insurance premiums, but it's also good for the state's bottom line. in north carolina alone, expanding medicaid will save the state more $65 million over the next eight years, expansion would benefit our

smoky mountains national park in the west to the cape hatteras national seashore in the east, north carolinians are passionate about the outdoors. hunting, fishing, and hiking are a way of life, and many of these traditions have been handed down through my family. so i am glad the senate will debate the bipartisan sportsmen's act. in putting our bill together, senator murkowski and i tried to pull the best ideas from members of both of our parties. however, i do recognize that members on both sides of the aisle have ideas for how to strengthen this bill. it is my hope that we can take up, debate, and vote on sportsmen's-related amendments this week. i encourage my colleagues who have amendments to file them and come to the floor to discuss them. in closing, this act of 2014 is a balanced, bipartisan plan that is endorsed by 40 stakeholders, is fiscally responsible. so i urge my colleagues to vote to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the bill so that we can start debating steps we can take to benefit the more than 90 million sportsmen and women across the country. thank you, madam presi
