johns stole goods from newport merchants, a group of rhode islanders seized control of fort george on goat island in newport harbor and fired cannons on the vessel. in 1769, the h.m.s. liberty, a sloop confiscated by the british from none other than john hancock and repurpd as their customs vessel, was boarded, scuttled and burned by a mob of angry rhode islanders. and in 1772, on the dark night, a band of rhode islanders destroyed the h.m.s. gaspee, one of the most hated imperial ships, drawing what was called the first blood in the revolution. the gaspee and its captain, lieutenant william dunningston, were known for destroying rhode islanders' vessels, seizing their cargo and flagging down ships to harass, humiliate and interrogate the colonials. as historian steven park describes in his new book, the burning of his majesty's schooner, the gaspee, an attack on crown rule before the american revolution, the gaspee was an unwelcome, even hated presence in narragansett bay. rhode island deputy governor sessions complained to governor joseph wanton in march, 1772, that lieutenant dudin

most importantly, we have about 100,000 rhode islanders so one in ten rhode islanders who rely on thensurance, so their lives would be disrupted. by the way, one in ten people, that means almost everyone in rhode island knows somebody whose health insurance would be disrupted. i think we will see thousands of job losses at hospitals and health care institutions. you know, we know that uncompensated care will go through the roof, which means folks will lose their jobs. so it will be bad for our economy. and the budgetary impact. >> sorry to interrupt you. when i speak to folks at the white house they say we will shift the opportunity, burden, over to the states right now to find efficiencies, ways they can handle this. with these medicaid cuts, with slowing the growth rate of medicaid, could your state make up for that difference? >> no. absolutely not. and i don't think that they are being honest about that. in our state, it would be billions of dollars, about $2 billion over a six-year period which we cannot make up for. and people know that. that's just a ruse. this whole thing is b

they're not unique to rhode island. it is not enough to just ban insurance companies from denying coverage from people with preexisting conditions. the a.c.a. eliminated annual and lifetime limits. in fact, yesterday i bumped into a family -- two families. one of enemy, an adorable little girl who had a take i don't think me. she was being pushed around. she was about 2- or 3 years old. today i found out that their problem is lifetime limits. these are very young children, two years, three years old. most insurance policies, except for the a.c.a., would have a lifetime limit. you might be able to buy it, but before these youngsters are 10, 12, or 13 years old, they don't have health insurance for the rest of their life. so it is not just the preexisting conditions. the a.c.a. eliminated annual and lifetime limits. and when you saw those darling children yesterday, you just knew that that has to be the law. otherwise it's just a matter of time. they're -- you know, maybe five years, maybe six years. but the kind of condi

like most of the country, rhode island is hard hit by the recession. it took many years for the economy to even begin to turn around in the right direction. it seems my colleagues are forgetting how medicaid has been a safety net through tough economic times. i also have the concern of the impact on our nation's veterans. the uninsured rate among veterans has dropped 40% since the implementation of the affordable care act. nationwide nearly one in ten veterans is covered by medicaid, including approximately 8,000 veterans in my home state of rhode island. the cuts to medicaid that have been proposed by our republican colleagues put the care of our veterans at risk. we have all promised to provide the best care possible to our brave men and women when they leave the service, but the senate trumpcare bill would do the opposite. and that's not the only way this bill could damage veterans' care. many veterans seek help for mental health care by going outside of the v.a. system. trumpcare puts mental health and substance abuse treatment at risk by saying th

we have been jersey and rhode island -- new jersey and rhode island who have done 60% wage replacement. we have dcn new york moving toward more generous policies. we are seeing experimentation at the state level as compared to the rest of the oecd. as mentioned that the beginning, we are the only country that does not have a federal paid leave policy. when we look at the oecd, those countries have 54 weeks of leave on average. there's a lot of variation in terms of wage replacement. intoof it is split up maternity and paternity leave. i do not think anyone in our group is recommending those long periods. we do worry about their ability to come back to work and the cost of businesses offering that leave, but we do believe it's time to have a basic federal policy that ensures access to all workers irrespective what state you are in and what industry you work for to have a few weeks of leave at the birth of a child or other caregiving needs. host: about 10 minutes left in our discussion. in midlothian, virginia, democrat, good morning. caller: it amazes me at the calls that you get from p

host: we spoke about the rhode island experience with medicaid. based on what the caller said and what sam said, what does the future look like if it is handled by many states across the country? average think the state spending on medicare has been tripled over the past three decades. if you spend more on medicaid, is less to spend on schools, transportation, or law enforcement. states are having to make these tough choices. states are having billions of dollars in added, unexpected costs, because they accepted the obamacare medicaid expansion. that is what the caller is pointing out. it is causing debt. a safety net that is potentially too large for us to afford. we need to take some steps to prevent back. prune it back. host: you mentioned states have other priorities that come up. where then to those people go who may have been eligible for medicaid in the past? guest: one thing that was not pointed out -- we have not seen the estimate from the cbo on the senate billion. people on medicaid would just drop off because the and eventual mandate i
