i worked with rick snyder to do it. bill schuette filed nine lawsuits to undo that, to eliminate protections for people with preexisting conditions. i'm fighting for my kids and for your children because i believe every child in this state has a birth right to a great education. bill schuette went to court and said kids don't have a constitutional right to read. he admires betsy devos' agenda. i put a real plan on the table to clean up our drinking water and protect this resource that makes us so unique. bill schuette ignored 15 complaints from people from flint for over two years, while they needed an attorney general, he was nowhere on duty. and i've put a real plan on the table to fix the damn roads. bill schuette's plan is two steps, get elected and then figure it out. we deserve better and we can do better. if it you're ready for a governor who knows how to roll up her sleeves and tackle tough issues and build coalitions and hope you'll vote for me. we have leaders in the milken, snyder administrations, i hope you'

reverend snyder you have seen not just a big number, you have seen individuals. human beings that have healthcare and those protections now, and will not have it, if the administration's point of view prevails in this litigation. all the administration has to do is withdraw the argument. just say, we are going to make every effort, no matter what to people those protections. it is pretty clear that we have to make a choice as to whether or not we are going to protect, or i should say, maintain the protections for pre-existing conditions. i asked you about that in the context of come from your experience dealing with real people, not dealing with numbers in washington debates, but with those real people, what was their life like before, meaning those with pre- existing conditions. what is their life like now, after having the protections? >> -- >> your mike. >> sorry. the mike thing. but prior to getting help with the affordable care act, they would not go to the healthcare provider because they were afraid. they were afraid to. and i think having a sense of what

by dentistry that over and over with rick snyder. you heard my opponent. it is open or he lambasted the governor for two governors ago but the times in his first human opener and give me a break. people state want us to solve problems we have to work together to get it done. >> let's move on to issues. in 2010 there was quite a fight washington and the affordable care act was being signed and that a formal correct has allowed for expansion of medicaid which you referenced here. here we call it healthy michigan and governor snyder are the legislator to work towards that goal and others more than 650,000 people on the plan. two of you had quite a conversation about this and i want to get to the bottom of the issue tonight and again you hear this word a lot. specifics. governor of the state of michigan, would you maintain this program or would you want to fight this program or would you eliminate this program? >> i would maintain it. i worked so hard with rick snyder and republican governor and we had our differences but when he embraced the formal correct i

reverend snyder? >> thank you for the question, senator. i think with this as well is from the get-go, right out of gate, involve the consumer, the patient, seek their perspective, how it works, because i think the piece of this is going to be that they understand, it number one, how it works, and are going to be concerned about the% aspect of this. is that going to be part of it. all the more reason when that occurs to make sure the trust point, the person, you know, with them, when they're having that interaction with their provider, and setting that up is someone that they absolutely trust, and again, involve them from the beginning. share with them, get their feedback in this. >> my time is just about up, but could you, reverend snyder, we, following up on senator gill brarnd's question, what can we do as members of congress to try to help with what i call health literacy? getting patients to be engaged, as you all talked about and understanding, and what is it that we might could do from the congress that might help with that program?

>> snyder: well...now that any particular bishops have the courage to do the right thing. i mean, we all praise our martyrs on sunday, and we praise and we sing. but boy, it's sure as hell hard being a saint when it's your ass on the line. and i want these cardinals and these bishops to start putting their ass on the line and start protecting their people. >> whitaker: bishops hold supreme power in their diocese and answer only to the pope. next month, u.s. bishops will gather to consider a proposal for a bishop code of conduct. bishop malone plans to be there. he's refused to resign. >> bishop richard malone: the shepherd does not desert the flock at a difficult time. >> whitaker: the bishop has made three public apologies and offered to sell his 11,000- square foot official residence to help compensate victims. last week, he sent us a statement that said in part: "we continue to reach out to victims, remove clergy with substantiated allegations from ministry, and cooperate with federal and state inves

reverend snyder and i met last year. i didn't have a chance to say hello to her personally today. i'll do that after the hearing, but thank you for being here. reverend snyder's organization, the summary health coalition, provides consumer health education and health insurance counseling to pennsylvanians across the state. among many programs, reverend snyder provides trainings to help empower patients to be active participants in their care. these issues are not only at the heart of reverend snyder's profession, they are deeply personal. she lost her mom to what should have been an avoidable hospital acquired infection. to borrow a phrase from reverend snyder, i'm confident her testimony will inspire us to, quote, make good ripples, unquote, as we work together to transform our nation's health care system. reverend snyder, thank you for being here, and we look forward to your testimony. >> thank you very much. dr. howse. >> thank you, senator collins. ranking member casey and members of the committee on aging, for this opportunity to provide testimony regarding the health care la

i demonstrated that over and over again with rick snyder.ou heard my opponent, he lambasted a governor from two governors ago, three times in his first two-minute opener. give me a break. the people of this state want us to solve problems and we have to work together to get it done. rick albin: let's move on to some of those issues. senator, the question to you in 2010 there was quite a fight first. in washington that ended up in the affordable care act being signed and that affordable care act, as part of that allowed for expansion of medicaid which you both have referenced here. here we call it helping -- healthy michigan. governor snyder urged the legislature to work toward that goal and now there are more than 650,000 people on that plan. the two of you had quite a conversation about this. i want to get to the bottom of the issue tonight and again you'll hear this word a lot tonight, specifics. if governor of the state of michigan, would you maintain the program, would you modify the program, or would you eliminate the program? gretchen

i work sod hard with rick snyder, republican governor. when he embraced the affordable care act i partnered with him and worked to make sure it got to his desk and 680,000 people in our state have health care. like my friend patricia from kalamazoo who wrote me to tell me she and her three boys just recently got health care for the first time. these getting treatment for her diabetes. her son ben has been diagnosed with autism and is getting the support he needs. he's got a long path but she's so grateful that he's now getting the kind of support he needs. they are at risk. if bill schuette is our next governor, we should believe what he's tone and not what he says. what he's tone is file nine lawsuits. nine lawsuits to repeal the affordable care act and rip health care away from people like patricia and her son ben affleck. moderator: mr. attorney general, when it comes to helping michigan would you keep, modify or or eliminate the program. bill: there's a friend of mine, kaley, had a terrible diving stent years ago, she's paralyzed. she

i worked with governor snyder to expand medcarry healthcare in michigan. bill schuette went to court. he filed nine lawsuits to rip that healthcare away and to eliminate coverage and protections for people with preexisting conditions. i'm fighting for my kids and for yours because i believe every michigan child deserves a great public school education. bill schuette argued in court that our kids don't even have a right to literacy, and he supports betsy devos's agenda. i believe everyone in the lgbqt deserves civil rights because it's the right thing to do, and bigotry is bad for business. bill schuette wasted millions of our taxpayer dollars going all the way to the supreme court and losing in his battle against marriage equality, and i have a real plan to clean up the curriculum water in michigan and to protect this resource that is so unique to our state. bill schuette was uh-uh sleep at the wheel when people called and asked him for help. 15 suspect complaints came to his office and he didn't to a darn thing. real leadership is doing the right thing ev
