and the association will work. but if you pull out a group and it turns out they are a little sicker than average and the bids come in above average, then the association will dissolve and everybody will go back into the insurance pool. so if you can pull out a group -- pool out a group they will always pay less until somebody gets sick and then everybody jumps into the insurance pool. the higher cost groups will be left behind. the lower cost groups will segment out. and then the rates for -- the rates will go down for a few and up for everybody else. this is exactly why the american academy of actuaries have said expanding association plans, quote, could result in unintended consequences such as market segmentation that could threaten viability and make it more difficult for high cost groups and individuals to obtain coverage. one of the problems -- one of the other problems is lack of regulation. if a group is allowed to circumvent state regulations, that policy may be cheaper because the policy is not as good. t

i'm delighted to welcome the national association of manufacturers to the white house. it's a great group of people. i know many of them well. i want to thank your president and ceo jay timmons for being here with us today. great job. my administration is working every day to make it easier for manufacturers to build higher and grow in america. we are removing job killing regulations and lifting the burdens on american industry like have never been lifted before. we have done a lot of work over the past 60, 70 days and i think you are seeing some real production. i think we can say this, like never before. earlier this week, i signed an executive order to end the war on coal. we had coal miners up at the office. it was an amazing scene. very tough, very strong powerful men who were crying, actually, and they were crying with happiness and produce more american energy and more american jobs which is how i got elected in the first place. we've created a task force and every agency to eliminate wasteful regulations. today at 330, with the department of commerce, we will si

we don't know when they ended or if they ended but the associated press broke this story this morning based on documents obtained from manafort's businesses and records of international wire transfers that the a.p. reviewed. and if it feels like everything went nuts today in the news, this story may very well be why. according to the associated press, manafort proposed in 2005 and started getting payed in 2006 in a contract arrangement with this russian zillionair where he agreed to influence politics, business dealings and news coverage in the united states to benefit the putin government. for that contract he signed a deal that would pay him $10 million annually beginning in 2006. according to a memo written by paul manafort proposing this arrangement to the russian billionaire "we are now of the belief that this model can greatly benefit the putin government if employed at the correct levels with the appropriate commitment to success." paul manafort in this document then explained where he would exert his influence on behalf of the putin government. "the highest levels of the u.s.

but let me tell you what the associated press says about that claim. trump has provided little detail on how this would happen. independent analyses of his campaign tax proposals found that most of the benefits would flow to the wealthiest families. the richest 1% would see an average tax cut of nearly $215,000 a year while the middle one-fifth of the population would get a tax cut of just $1,010, according to the tax policy center, a joint project by the brookings institution and urban institute. here is another statement the president made last night. quote, 94 million americans are out of the labor force, close quote. athe associated press says that true, but for the vast majority of them, it is because they choose to be. the 94 million figure includes everyone aged 16 and older who doesn't have a job and isn't looking for one. so it includes retirees, parents staying home to raise children, high school and college students who are studying rather than working. they are unlikely to work regardless of the state of the economy. with the huge baby-boome

over on the association side, our 2017 edward r. murrow awards attracted more than 4000 entries in what has become one of the most prestigious competitions in the business. in september, our excellence in journalism conference with the society of professional journalists expands even further this year. we will be joined by the national association of hispanic journalists and the native american journalist association. we hope to see some of you at this great event, which will be held this year in anaheim, california in september. as always, a lot going on at the association and foundation. tonight, it is all about the first amendment and celebrating great journalism and great journalists. i would like to begin the evening by introducing this year's chair of the rtdnf, the news director of koa radio in denver, kathy walker.

the trump transition. details about u.s. persons associated with the incoming administration, details with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value were widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting. third, i have confirmed that additional names of trump transition team members were unmasked. and fourth and finally, i want to be clear, none of this surveillance was related to russia or the investigation of russian activities or of the trump team. >> you said that the president's communications were incidentally collected but then you said it's also possible. was it collected or possibly collected? >> i don't know the answer to that yet. >> you don't know -- >> look, i know there was understand dincidental collecti the president-elect and his team. i don't know if it was actually physically the phone call. >> what do you think of that? >> he's conflicted himself out and it's disappointing, don, because i've always liked that the intelligence committee is one where we've collaborative and independent. today the chairman betraye

, the american hospital association, the aarp and finally the american medical association have looked at this bill over the last two weeks and they have universally pleaded with the congress to block this measure, to slow down the rush to judgment which is going to deprive people of one of the most elemently basic needs that all of us share. we're not immortal. we're not immune to getting illness and disease. it is something that affects every single american. and to pass a bill which will wreak that kind of havoc, again, is irresponsible and takes this country in the absolute wrong direction. so, again, i would plead with my members and i would ask anybody watching this speech, go to the kaiser foundation website. find where you live. think about your uncle or your children or people that you know in your neighborhood and really plug in that data and information and thin akout what in fact we're being told is in fact a wonderful health care bill and something that won't hurt people and won't make them worse off financially. again, the opposite is true. c.b.o. is telling u

on the committee but was most concerning is to take that information to the lighthouse so it is the associate of the president u.s. the subject of investigation if they colluded with the russians so to take that to the white house is only inappropriate to cast grave doubts with the integrity of that investigation. we are here now on friday that the chairman wants to close the hearing or a cancel it all together that was not in our view today is announced that has canceled canceled, was to bring back the directors for a closed session. we welcome them anytime to bring those former directors back we don't will come public access to information with these very important witnesses who were scheduled to testify in open session. remain the office -- the offer to have the three witnesses testify in open session than there were questions to ask inclosed section in rica go to a closed portion this is what we do often with open testimony followed by testimony in closed session. the reason we do that is there are questions that can be answered in public is the public's interest even if they cannot be an

the catholic health association of the united states said, this proposal would take many backward steps in the continual effort to improve our health care system. it goes on and on. as more and more people come to understand what the issues that you were discussing are, i think they're going to find that, no, we'll take the affordable care act as it presently exists and we'll make some modifications to it to improve it. you raised a very interesting point. it reminds me of another conversation i had earlier this week with my wife. she had gone to her hair stylist who is about 29 years old. has run her own business for the last seven, eight years. she told my wife a, she said, -- my wife, she said, it can't be true. they can't do it, can they? they can't kill the affordable care act, the obamacare? she said, for the first time in my life, i was able to get insurance. and now that i have insurance, there's this maternity benefit that's in my package and now my husband and i, we can afford to have a child. it was directly to the point you were making. if there's an option here on maternity

the law firm. i was a young associate fresh out of law school in a clerkship. i didn't know anything about the law. i started to meet partners and associates and the like and sort of learn about what the practice of law was like. i will say, kellogg hanson is a very unique firm. my first ever deposition of the firm was of a former federal district judge who had been 10 years on bench, having the chief judge of the district, had been a partner at williams and connolly and was a chief legal counsel. they really throw you into the water, the deep water fast. but judge gorsuch at the time, was a very approachable person. he was a partner. you expect these partners to be really sort of unapproachable. they're intimidating and scary. he was none of those things. he was only at the law firm for a couple of months before he went to the justice department and i was there. in the brief time i knew him there i got to know a guy who is very accessible, down to earth, approachable, and this held true over the entire course of the -- well over, now, 13, 14 years that i've kno

the american medical association, the american hospital association at the american association of clinical positions as well as many other health care groups have expressed their opposition to the current republican affordable health care bill. does pfizer also oppose this bill? >> we are in a democracy everyone can express their own opinion. pfizer has not expressed a formal opinion on the present bill in front of congress. we support principles that would like to see enacted, like ability to access medicines, reasonable co-pays, fairness in the system, choice in the system. system. we support those elements of any plan. >> what specific regulatory reforms would you like to see at the fda? >> i'd like to see a message from society to the food and drug association. they want the association, the fda to move more towards better balance between risk and benefit. i think the fda has been set up and has been conditioned by society com, condition by congrs to be extremely conservative, and not willing to take the appropriate risk to benefit view on the development of new drugs spirit speaking o
