the guy that put it on the table so that apple could see it was wayne westerman from the west who comes from a family that is plagued by disability. when he was a phd student cubist trying to write the dissertation so he looked around at the market to see if there's any alternatives and there weren't any so he trained some of the algorithms when they started recognizing. instead of just always typing with a lighter touch, you could do a lot of things in the vocabulary it was a lot larger than we could do today. but he started manufacturing this project, and it was beloved by a small percentage of users. people who had injuries and people who were kind of into creative computing kind of editors, music. it wasn't on a screen. so a junior engineer in apple just happened to bring one of these in. that became the focal point of the experiment and that is what was under the projector when they wield in the projector screen to sort of combined this unit they put a little piece of paper over it and then you could spark the entire trajectory of the project. >> host: there's the historythif knowi

westerman. >> thank the gentleman from indiana. madam chair, as we look at this issue with medicaid, i agree with the comments from my colleague that it is for the most vulnerable, but if we take a step back and look at what the affordable care act did for medicaid, it expanded medicaid services not for the blind, the disabled, the elderly, it expanded and provided free healthcare for 18 to 64 year olds who are able bodied, working age adults who simply fell below an income threshold. some of these people actually need help but they also need help getting back into the job market. we have in this budget proposal -- or in resolution to require work requirements for able bodied working age adults not in that medicaid expansion population. not for age, blind or disabled. this is a program that's modeled after president clinton signed into law, similar for the program. if we truly want to help americans we will help them to get jobs that are better paying. we see examples where maine instituted welfare reform that required work require
