Sorry i had to excuse myself during the testimony. A couple points. One is i like myself and a handful of other staffers make sure that we were enrolled in our new Health Care Plan because we couldnt get confirmation. Fortunately i got confirmation that im finding out like everybody else i have less coverage at a higher cost. The concern is as it is exhibited by the constituents on Medicare Advantage we will see the same thing of her in Medicare Advantage and so i think that this is a timely hearing because its like Everything Else in this new movement of health care. Everybody is going to get less coverage and higher cost, no matter who you are or where you are in this country because of these before.

To the extent you want the law to be encouraging people to have a more egalitarian relationship at home, which is very important to achieving gender equality. You want to have laws that provide equal maternity and paternity leave area but that position would preclude he answers a question left open in 1989, whether or not a state would be discriminating if they gave more generous Maternity Leave than paternity leave. If you have a legal order that says you cant discriminate but the states not required to give anyone paid leave, one consequence is the way you do equality is giving nothing to everyone.
