then we've got to address the regional and rural disparities exist in the medicare reenforcement rate. this is not about the doctors, though it is about some of the rural hospitals. we lost a hospital in my home county that my grandmother was a nurse at back in -- for much of her life back in 1985. i represent 150 towns, a very large, rural district, about half of arkansas. a number of those towns, doctors are no longer accepting new medicare patients. once you become medicare eligible or once you move into a community and you're on medicare, it can be a three-month wait, right now, to be able to get a doctor. to start seeing you as a patient on a patient-doctor basis. you add millions of people to that equation through this so-called public option, which they, you know, are content -- they contend should be based on medicare rates, how long will the wait be for them? six months? a year? it's one thing to provide everybody a shiny new insurance card, but it's another thing to be able to use that to see a doctor. that's one of the big concerns we have. there are many more. we're consid

clinton made some mistakes in reenforcing cornwallis because he sent about 6,000 troops? >> in fact, he could have recall the cornwallis entirely to a new york which is probably what he should have done. he knew as early as june that cornwallis was in virginia and, in fact, by late may or the first of june he knew that cornwallis was in virginia and at some point during the summer he gets intelligence reports that indicates that they are bringing the french fleet from the caribbean north. he doesn't know where he is coming but he knows he is coming to the north and he guessed that they were coming to new york and he thought that there would be a campaign that rochambeau and washington would try to take new york and he could have recall the clinton -- cornwallis at that point to new york. he did and i think in part because he expected some reinforcements from the caribbean himself up which he got then turned out to be useless because washington did not attack me york but he did get those reinforcements and he thought there would be adequate but also because he was confiden

you make a great point, i think i want to reenforce that point. there've been speakers come to the floor that say the republicans are the party of no, we don't want to reform health care, we're blocking this great health care proposal they have. that's not true. there are 178 republican members of the house of representatives, 247 democratic members of the house of representatives, they can do whatever they want whenever they want to. mr. nunes: 256 democrats, i believe. how many votes does it take to get a bill out of the house? mr. latourette: 218. so 47 people can leave the reservation and still pass the legislation. we have four or five good pieces of legislation on health care that solve the problems of the doughnut hole in medicare part d, take care of the uninsured in this country that don't have insurance, that is not only a sad situation but leads to cost shifting for people who do have insurance. deals to make sure you can't be excluded from health care if off pre-existing condition. nobody will talk to our side of the aisle. the attitud
