the health system americans reserve for the military veterans, for example, the va system is purely socialized medicine. single-payer systems typically are just social insurance, like the social security system. under social health insurance the government nearly organizes the financing of health care but the health care delivery system typically is private and can't include for profit entities. medicare, for example, social insurance, it is social insurance but not socialized medicine. the main characteristics of single-payer systems are the following. they are ideal platform for equity and access to health care because everyone has the same insurance coverage, and providers are paid the same fees regardless of the social economic status of the patient. single-payer systems typically are financed on the basis of ability to pay rather than on the basis of health status of the injured. single-payer systems typically give patients free choice of doctors and hospitals. in single-payer systems, providers of care do not compete on price, but they must compete on quality of care, including patient s

there are some remote islands off of australia and the australian vas tremendous air defense system. they would have been detected. in the northern arc, the same is really rue. there are air defense radars all along that arc. particularly in india and pakistan. and along the coast of vietnam. so to me, it seems like an unlikely scenario that needs to remain one of the investigative hypotheticals. but i -- i just don't see that happening. >> you have been in aviation and you have been in investigations before. what is the theory that to you at this point makes the most sense? >> regrettably i believe that this was essentially a hostage situation in the aircraft. co-pilot had a history of security breaches in the cockpit which, by the way, is not uncommon in foreign airlines. particularly non-western airlines. it would seem most likely to me that perhaps the aircraft may have been lost over the bay of bengal. although no one really knows. i have to qualify that. >> of course -- no one really knows. that's why we are spending so much time talking about it. anthony roman, thank you so mu

va. it's regardless of where anybody is out on health care bill, we will have more people into the system, okay? so many of the providers are our age, and it's just something river -- we really need to look at. we need to look hard at making sure that veterans have the benefits that were promised, but if you have is a great deal and she can't find anybody to provide the care, it really is a big thing. maybe that's something at some point we could actually have a hearing -- >> i think -- >> where they feel like we'll be -- >> this is not just a be a problem. >> the trouble is though you can't, this is something that if we're going to be short five years from now, you can't decide three years from now. >> all right. let me -- [inaudible] >> brief follow-up. >> i would ask secretary shinseki if he would give us an idea of when he is going to receive the report and when about a.r.c.h., and when we then could see the results. and then for dr. petzel i would you say your response to the chairman's question about all the array of things we have to offer physicians it may be a long list but it do

broader effort to improve our military and the lives of those who have swerved from the justice system to the va claims backlog to ensureing veterans find jobs. we have the opportunity to correct the failures and it is time get it done. thank you, madam president. >> senator from kentucky. >> it was written having heard all of this you may chose to look the other way but you can never say you didn't know. having heard the sexual assault cases in the military, we can look away but we cannot say we haven't heard of this program. i don't think anybody wants to but the definition of in sanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same result. we know sexual assault is a problem in the military decade after decade. i think it is time to try something new. when i heard of a long military recruit from our state, a young woman who was raped and beat to a pulp and hips and legs bruised and considered suicide, when i heard her rape kit was lost and the case was dismissed i am disheartened. her assailiant is still in the navvy. we cannot ignore this problem. to me it is as simple as

system. it's the va and there's a lot of dissatisfaction with waiting list. think this is no way for us to run a health care system, a single-payer system. we need a new way to inject genuine market competition and clinics and choice into our health care system. we need to scale back top gun controls by government. thank you, an i do look forwardo your questions. >> thank you very much, ms. pipes. turns out we have another canadian with us as well. our fourth witness is dr. danielle martin, a primary care family physician actively involved in practice of women's college hospital in toronto canada where she also holds and administered leadership position, as vice president of medical affairs and health systems solutions. dr. martin, thank you for being with us. >> chairman sanders, ranking member burr, distinguished committee member, thank you for inviting me to address yo you today. minutest danielle martin. as a practicing physician and vice president medical affairs and health systems associate at women's college hospital i have daily firsthand experience w

va that chiropractic care to meet the needs but it seems that va has been very slow to implement that there is care available but no systemic system wide effort to provide chiropractic care that could be of value in absence of other officials -- officials as it becomes critical. . . i go further the final thing i would raise with you what has happened in of wichita there for a space has been working hard we get the project with those two facilities with the va hospital the plan is to combine those to to build a new facility. i need to look at my notes that was included in the list and i asked how to remove that up? not only has it not moved up but no longer of the of less than to to our knowledge no one can explain and why last year it was considered so how do we get to a higher ranking? now it's not. >> i owe you a better answer than the one i will give you but every year with our priorities we're rehab a safety or security project comes up we have to do something and that will move a project for word. i will go back in research the issue with the project. my guess is is still on our list. you don't see it in the budget be

system. the third guy, seven week program, full. four week program, full. so his caseworker looks around, and then she finds this little program in northern california that's not part of the va, that's not run by insurance in any way or supported by insurance. it's entirely donor supported. and the guy runs out and says you can come here, but here's the deal. you stay four months minimum, and then you actually stay here as long as it takes to get better. so one guy gets seven weeks, one guy gets four weeks, one guy gets four months or longer. tsa what i mean by the haphazard nature of this. yes, there's a system, but that's what's going on. when people need help, it kind of comes down to the luck of the draw. >> and others get no help at all. a quick anecdote from my book, one of the suicidal soldiers, his family fought. he was a veteran of iraq. his family fought and fought and fought with the local va to get him some sort of treatment, and they knew he was suicidal. they said he wasn't suicidal enough to be hospitalized. so he was successful in his suicide, and the family immediately gets a call from the va to say we have to tell you that we did everything for which we wer

va superiority based on we have the most humility. but put that aside the most interesting thing is insecurity because this is how we are using the turn. we are talking about insecurity within a system. i have been proven to people in the system, to others here whether it's in my family or society. chris cicely with the amish live by is their creed is we don't accept the modern world's values. we don't want our people to feel they need to strive and to do with society demands or to succeed in those ways. they don't have, not only did they not have insecurity as we define it their whole religion is based on that and the result is and hats off to them. there's a fascinating section where their kids are playing little league baseball and that's fine intel some start seeming like they want to win. you can't be competitive. for obvious reasons they are the poorest groups in the united states because they don't want to be successful in that way. >> host: it's interesting they are certain cultures where striving is considered wrong so there is a religious aces and the amish is considered sinful. if you look at elite white protestant society striving was not sinful but those words something
