and is scott. we were bantering about when we were off camera.one of the things that we debate often is how does this get paid for? what makes the government think it is qualified to run such a program? government currently spends 50% of the care spending that happens in this country in one form other another medicare, medicaid. now we hear that doctors are gonna be not accepting medicare patients or currently not accepting medicare patients. wal-mart this week said they will not be taking medicare prescription drugs because they are not getting paid by the government. the government is incredibly inept at virtually everything it does. what makes people believe when they currently spend 50% of the budget or rather they account for 50% of care spending they are qualified to run this program? i say we keep the remaining 50%, if you don't mine! >> mike: kevin, i think you just hit it why so many americans are frustrated. americans can't think of one government program that has been projected to cost something that didn't cost a great deal more. whet

i yield time to my distinguished friend from virginia, congressman scott. mr. scott: mr. speaker, i thank the gentleman from ohio for his leadership in bringing us together to make sure we discuss the importance of creating jobs. i think it's important that we put our job efforts in perspective, because a little over a year ago when this administration came into office, we were losing jobs at the rate of over 700,000 per month, every month. 700,000 jobs a month. and we passed the -- reacted to it bypassing the american recovery and reinvestment act. we have slowly made some progress. losing fewer and fewer jobs every month. but that's obviously not sufficient. we have to do better than that. we have to put this in perspective. we are losing all of those jobs and we found ourselves not only in the ditch in the economy but with the federal budget. we had a huge deficit, which limited our ability to respond to this challenge. we are also shooting at a moving target. just this week, the virginia legislature, my home state of virginia, will pass a budget that will cut approxim

to back her idea, scott donated the first $5. she had earned as a free woman to the statue fund. following scott's lead, many black military veterans and organizations in the african-american community started sending money to the memorial fund until finally the fund had enough money to support a bronze statue with a granite base. one report suggests that the african-american community provided more than $16,000 of the $17,000 price tag of the statue. once the money had been raised, the managers of the memorial fund called the western sanitary commission commissioned thomas bell, an american living in be italy, to create something worthy of lincoln and the people who had donated their hard-earned money to honor his memory. bell crafted a statue depicting lincoln with the emancipation proclamation in his right hand and with his left hand extended over a kneeling slave rising from the earth, shackles broken. next to lincoln is a monolith containing a bust of george washington in relief. around the monument's base is the word, "emancipation," and in the front is the following inscri

covered by scott bidele.y're less exposed to the reforms or lower pricing that is going to be implemented in medicare advantage. and will benefit this year specifically from higher pricing in commercial markets. of course, teva being the largest generic company, as many of these units in the pharma piece, anyway, are going to be dispensed via generic drugs, teva sells more pills than merck and pfizer combined so they clearly should be a beneficiary. on the device side we like medtronic and in pharma it's probably all beaten out at this point, for growth investors our favorite stock with be bristol. and financial stories based on value would be pfizer and merck. i think the biggest influence for pfizer and merck, quite frankly, is the direction of the economy. if we do get a fierce recovery, then, you know, pfizer and merck are not going to keep pace. if the market moves to being more defensive, then those stocks would certainly be favored. >> any conflicts of things that youown, or get your disclosures? >> so

i understand you cannot -- host: let's let scott got lead into the first part of your question. -- scott gottlieb's -- scott got leavtlinb can answr the first part of your question. guest: there is a portion of medicare that pays for injectable medicines, but that is not what the caller is talking about. host: certain income of folks that are using medicare and medicaid services are using those services a great deal. is that going to affect whether they are cut from standard procedure in terms of medicare and medicaid? guest: the providers that get hurt particularly badly under this bill are the cardiologists and radiologists, people use diagnostic tools in their practices. the radiologists will be particularly badly hurt and you will see utilization rates come down at probably. there are consolidating in a lot of states and in other states they are closing. the thing in the bill but hid them particularly hard it is that there are assumptions about how much time a ct scan or mri machine needs to be in operation. medicare apportions -- it says well, it needs to be in use 50% of the time.

when you think about it is nullifying scott brown's election. if they had gone through the normal course of business, you pass a bill in the house in the senate, there's differences you work it out in conference, send it back to both bodies, you got 60 vote hurdle in the senate. scott brown said if he went to the he would vote to kill this bill. reconciliation avoids the conference system. so we are going to be passing the senate bill with changes without using a conference. scott brown never gets to vote on health care and that has made a lot of us mad. >> greta: were the republicans out ed in procedure? >> no they just used something no one has used before. i think it is sleazey and inappropriate and unleashes some unhealthy forces. senator byrd objected to the reconciliation process being used to pass clinton health care this is 1/6 of the economy. they are stopping the senate from having a say on the differences between the house and the senate by going to 51 votes. republicans are being dealt out of the game. scott brown never gets to vote

. >> scott?tion. >> well, 2012 is a long way away but representative frost probably does remember the results in 1994, which was, his party was swept out of power, and i hope that democrats who are sort of on the fence about the bill, when they go home tonight and go to ped, maybe they'll be visited by the ghost of elections past, present and future. in the form of 1994, scott brown's election in massachusetts, and what could happen in november, because i think it will be a big sea change. >> scott -- >> 1994 was a different situation and democrats didn't realize they had a tough election, until right before the votes were cast. everybody knows now, this is going to be tough and people are out working hard. >> all right. and that is martin frost, and scott, we thank you both for sharing insights on 2012, we're talking about that already! in light of the health care bill. thanks, gentlemen. >> and a lot of you folks are telling us your thoughts on health care, and let's look at some of the e-mails

. >> massachusetts senator scott brown made his first speech on the senate floor. this is about 10 minutes. >> madam president. >> the senator from massachusetts. >> i ask unanimous consent to ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. >> without objection. >> thank you. madam president. >> the senator from massachusetts. >> thank you. i was hoping i could address an amendment that have on the floor today. >> without objection. >> thank you. madam president i come to the floor of the senate today to give my first speech as the, one of the senators from massachusetts, and first let me say i am deeply honored to have been elected into serve in this great and historic chamber. in addition i am pleased to have the opportunity to address my colleagues and the american people and all the folks up here watching us for the first time about legislation that i am introducing and it is called immediate tax relief for american workers amendment. adam president families in massachusetts and across this great nation are suffering through these tough economic times in one year a

why was the idea dead after the scott brown victory in massachusetts? and now it is alive again. >> i don't think it was dead after the scott brown victory and the initial comments the president made, maybe we should go to an incremental health insurance reform package were disavowed by the white house but the idea of having to do reconciliation was always out there. and that is why they wrote it into the bill in the first place and if it wasn't in the budget they wouldn't have a chance to do it and it was to do it regular order if possible and reconciliation if necessary and it came down to that and i don't think it surprises the two parties are in exactly the same spot now as they were, before the health care summit. the democrats' only chance of passing this is to push forward, using the reconciliation process which calls for a simple majority vote in the senate and have to pass the senate bill in the house and those will be very very, heavy lifts. but, the health care summit, if it was political theater it was also very very, clarifying, laid bare e

scott talked about the debaathification curve awful mostly from the political angle.i think it represents and says a lot about the institutional maturity of a set of iraqi institutions and lack of transparency and i think that the befuddlement for those of you trying to watch this and talk to the iraqi context what is going on is the lack of transparency in the process is worrisome but it's also for those who have gone through and worked on space transitions it's probably not an outlier. it takes time to these institutions and if you look at the things i've written it's been about an over emphasis in our policy approach on security and security forces and not enough on how to help other iraqi institutions stand on their own. that said i think there were broad concerns about the respect for human rights and iraqi society and of personal concern about the state of christians and this is a live issue today and the mosul province. it's a broad issue. i think it's a consequence and sad consequence the we we went about trying to promote freedom without enough attention to i

. >> david axelrod has said that the lost to scott brown and the message is that actually help to the process of law. >> -- the lost to scott brown in massachusetts actually helped the process along. >> a concentrated the attention. they had to do something or it was over. it has given democrats a sense of passion, which they were totally lacking. all the intensity and enthusiasm has been on the republican side. but the republicans have gone for the bait on the repeal. that is a promise they can make but never keep it is a broken promise going in. mike castle of delaware was candid enough to say there is no way you can do it. it requires a 2/3 vote to override the veto. this is absolutely fatuous, and there is the pragmatism on the part of the american people. they want to see if it works. they want things to work. republicans doing the last digit obstructionist on this is a political mistake. >> in addition to that, we have the economy as the backdrop going into the election. every indication is that by the time we go to the polls this fall, the economy is going to be improving, and

that's the scotts advantage. they'proven to haveered nourishing powers.ing.nd now you can get important nutrients found in these special fruits in your water. fruit2o essentials water. with nutrients equal to two servings of fruit. vitamins, minerals... and even a gram of fiber in crystal clear water. six delicious flavors, each enriched wi nutrients like its fruits. fruit2o essentials water. >>> here's a look at the weather with tim williams. >> we're looking at a comfortable night. gradual dropping now. we'll hit a lower temperature. we clear out by midday. temperatures drop, skies clear. but we will see a high really kind of plummet. and that's where we stay with temperatures much lower than the average. for the next five days, we send it in to bob. >>> that should say friday. yes. we'll see rain overnight, into tomorrow morning. 50, down to 26 degrees tomorrow night. yep. it's not going to help your flowers. but it won't kill them all. 49 with sunshine. returning on saturday. sunday, increasing clouds, showers at night. into monday. another system. 54, 56

they were saying the opposit op the scott brownell election showed they were so disgusted with the medicare it was implement there had in massachusetts right now struggling with a $5 million hole in their budget. >> is the senator on the phone? >> i need a doctor. you know, the -- i personally do not buy that there will be any change in the federal participation in subsidizing elective abortion. that is as a lawyer and i read this stuff i don't think there will be one more abortion because of what part stupak did the other day. i think it's unlikely i am thinking 35 million additional people. spend less money doing it especially in my experienced. are you convinced had will be an verse by effected by senator. >> this bill will be bad for patient who's rely on healthcare bad for providers and nurses and doctors providing the care. it will be bad for payers people in a pay for them. taxpayers and it will be horrible for our economy. it is going to cost jobs hurt the economy and add to the deficit. there is no way even if you are dumping. it is not going to solve the problem with the economy.

that's the scotts advantage. >>> nothing severe about this. but just severe clear. if you like today, you're going to love tomorrow. take a look at the pedestrian. sunshine, clear all day long. upper 60s. maybe by this time tomorrow afternoon. with sunshine. beautiful weather. and the next five days, look at. saturday, 72. sunday, still close to 70. but more clouds and showers by nighttime. and still a chance for showers. but much cooler. 54 and 33 here. >>> in today's energy saver, if you have an older older appliance, there is a way to save energy. they say to change the motor. the devices are sold in most hardware stores for $30 to $60. experts say you can save hundreds in energy costs each year. >>> dramatic increase. check out this. >>> monday, metro officials say the driver ran a red light, the driver has been arrested without pay. >>> hundreds pay their respects to corey haim. >>> police released the chilling 911 call, corey haim's mother judy made. >> he's not breathing! >> ma'am, are you with him right now? >> yes. >> he's 38 years old. i don't know what is

scott gurvey explains. >> ♪how does it feel >> reporter: well, how does it?es, i'm talking to you. if you're like most of us, it still does not feel good out there. this is surprising because the widely followed gross domestic product, which measures the dollar value of goods and services produced, turned positive in the third quarter of last year. but there is another measure, the rarely noted gross domestic income, which tracks what people actually get paid for those goods and services. christopher low of f.t.n. financial says it tells a different story. >> when you look at the g.d.i. data today, what it shows is that the recession was deeper than g.d.p. shows in '08 and '09, and it also shows that the recovery came a quarter later. in other words, when economists were crowing because we finally had growth in the u.s. and people on the nightly news were saying "gee, i don't feel any better", it turns out those people were right. >> reporter: this is not just an academic debate. policy makers base decisions which effect us all based on the numbers they follo

as scott gurvey reports, what started as aflac's novel corporate identity campaign is now one of the best known brands in history. >> reporter: this is a story about a duck. and a man. and the company they keep, or perhaps, keeps them. branding expert vasken kalayjian says it has been one of the most successful branding campaigns of all time. >> before the duck, people did not remember what aflac... couldn't say the name aflac because it's not a very good name, frankly. it's an abbreviation, i think it's an acronym of american family something something. so people had a hard time with the name. so the agency ten years, i think, came up with the idea of the duck saying aflac and it was great, and it caught on. >> reporter: the man in our story is aflac c.e.o. dan amos, son of one of three brothers who founded what was the american family life insurance company in 1955. amos remembers the duck was not an easy sell. >> i can remember when we were debating whether to do the aflac duck commercial or not, people were... i tried to say, well there's this duck, and he quacks aflac, and you k
