former congressman leaving a federal prison in rochester, after serving seven years for his convictionn bribery and racketeering. finally, another opinion on health care from karl rove, a former adviser to president bush. he writes that obama and the poor for a political storm -- and the perfect political storm -- august was the worst month in obama's presidency. this piece concludes by saying that president's always encounter rough patches. what is unusual is how soon mr. obama has had his. it says that he has used up almost all his good will in less than nine months with the hardest work still ahead. that is found inside this morning inside "the wall street journal." all this week we have been focusing on health care and wanted to take a look at it inside of hospitals. if you like to watch our three- part series on a virginia hospital you can go to our website, c-span.org. in a moment we want to look at the care of patients through a community health care. vincent will join us here in washington, d.c. to find out how they are treating patients, many of whom are uninsured. it is thurs

guest: medicare, in our rochester practice, is roughly 40% of our practice. in jacksonville, florida, it is about 60% of our practice in the hospital closer to 67% in the hospital practice. and -- because remember we are a clinic and hospital. we all work together. in arizona it is roughly 55%. host: i expected a higher percentage. guest: it just happens to be the other way but it is pretty high medicare in both places. our medicaid population, many think that folks don't come from medicaid but our medicaid volumes are on the lower side than some other places would be. but they are somewhere around the 5% to 10% range in all of the sites. host: do you not take medicaid patien patients? guest: no, we see medicaid patients. host: louisville, kentucky, pat. caller: i have a question about the public options. to me, i have heard that there is a level set -- there is a $60 that medicare would save $35 than your private insurance reimburses so much over medicare. to me the government is already making the playing field [inaudible] we have state regulations, et cete

and we have hydrogen fuel technology going on at the rochester institutes of higher education as well as the delphi plant there. we are' even already using these new fuel vehicles, the ones that have already come out. on monday i stood at an old train station in downtown syracuse creating an eyesore. by using stimulus money, they will turn this building into a charging station for electric cars as well as alternative fueling hub for an alternative fuel car sharing company in syracuse. using this bill, it can become a center for the research on the practical use of these advanced technology vehicles. our energy policy, mr. chairman, is heading in the right direction. and the advanced vehicle technology act ensures that we are charting the right course for our new energy future. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields. the gentleman from texas. mr. hall: mr. speaker, i continue to reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from tennessee. mr. gordon: mr. chairman, i yield two minutes to the gentle

we have one of the most famous hospitals, clinics, in the world, the mayo clinic, in rochester, minnesota. the thing about canada is, if they can't get care in canada, if they get tired of waiting in line, which they do wait in lines, and they are denied care, they come see us in minnesota. so it's expensive in canada. to the gentleman's point, it is indeed expensive. but i'm arguing worse than that, it doesn't work for them, for many, many of our canadian neighbors, they cannot afford to wait in lines. mr. akin: i was told by some canadians that it's the best health care system in the world as long as you're healthy. mr. kline 13k if you're not, you come to minnesota. mr. akin: thank you very much, congressman kline. i appreciate you staying extra on the floor and helping us with a close look, trying to look at some of the questions. the first thing the president raised was the fact that he'd inherited debt and the question becomes, well, he also said that his health care plan was going to get rid of debt and save money and would work really well financially and the question then becomes

there were several groups in minneapolis and the rochester area.re to interconnect and share the knowledge we have together. we have in directions quite regularly with other providers, but to do it in a formal way that is official and electronic, we actually have a program where developing to make this work. how do we actually connect all this? there is a group that is taking this on from the public domain called the national coalition for health information. it is just being launched, and people are just beginning to hear about it to foster this connection. >> mayo has pushed for higher reimbursement rates for hospital. how will health care reform affect that? >> but we have pushed for is that when we look at the way payments are made, there has been a consistent pattern in the last several years that the decision would be to continually reduce the payment rate by fixing the prices in such a way that we are not keeping up with inflation. what we are saying is, we understand that may have to happen, but let's make that reduction not across the boar

we'll go to edward from rochester, new york. good morning on the republican line.ler: good morning. i'm an african-american and i'm a republican. i know there was a lot of talk about racism. i want to break up -- i want to bring up a couple things and see if you can respond. as an african-american republican, i remember back when bush was running for office, there was an ad by the naacp, the ad was run, and it said about hate crimes, and during that ad, they said that if bush would have passed hate crime legislation, lewis berg would not have been killed. there was another one, kanye west, he said that bush hates black people. we didn't get any condemnation from the democrats about kanye west making those statements. surely didn't get any confirmation from democrats talking about the naacp ad. i think they wanted to run that ad because they were getting federal assistance. host: any of you familiar with this? guest: i am, and i do think the caller makes a very good point. you should be free to sharply criticize the president and not be accused of being a racist. pe
