Down front here, please. Thanks very much. A fascinating discussion. I write the mitchell report. I want to focus if i can specifically on the jihadi and isis sort of cluster and pose two questions if i can. One is as opposed to far right radicals or neonazis, et cetera. Some of us have attended sessions in this very room on the role of messaging and counternarratives and i would be interested to know particularly as i listen to what angela had to say about how you would do this successfully, im...

I should know that we an Important Role on the floor this morning, so i, and other members, will likely need to step out briefly to participate. We may briefly paused a hearing proceedings, although sometimes necessary,ot become dependent on the order in which people ask questions. We are here, to discuss the proposed mergers between four of the nations five Largest Health Insurance Companies. In early july of this year, aetna announced it had reached a deal to purchase rival humana. If you year...

So you still see today where many of those populations and services sit outside of the purview of the medicaid director and start to go see, i think, robust conversation around what makes sense from a Delivery System perspective and where you do you look at integration and the statewide policy level and the integration to do there and then a payer perspective, fee for service or managed care and what can you do to integrate the payment streams and seeing that across the continuum or services and...

From you guys who are, you know, in it. What you think would make the biggest difference. What you think would be most helpful. Since you asked it, why dont you i feel it is very taboo to speak about it in the native american communities, especially the older adults might think that it is. But i think the youth are really ready to speak about it. I feel there should be a little bit more support in the school system. Some of the schools ive actually got to work with on the reservation, they dont ...

Anybody else want go ahead, vern. Just to comment on the general direction, in the surveys we have the privilege of doing with the Kaiser Family foundation and namd we have a series of questions on whats going on with the system reform and Payment System reform and so on and if theres one thing that characterizes Medicaid Programs today it is a focus on what they can do to make their programs better in the sense of achieving Better Outcomes and so on. There are just example examples after, you k...

What we have seen so far the ears have heard what were said. Also, i would address the unnecessary attacks coming from some on the other side. Especially on men taking an interest in the lives of people most important in our lives. If men in this society arent allowed to defend and stand for the women and children we love, where has the country fallen to . It is a shame when we have brought into a frenzy and concern about what happens to our babies, our most defenseless. I just held in my arms m...

A few weeks ago i had the honor of meeting with robert mcdonald, the secretary of the va. Secretary mcdonald is a man who has time and again answered the call of duty to his and our nation. He graduated from the United States military academy at west point in the top 2 of his class in 1975. An army veteran. Mr. Mcdonald served...

Million figure gets thrown around so much. Thats why thats so misleading. It is reimbursements for fee for service treatment. And like other medical providers, planned parenthood is reimbursed for the health care it provides to these patients and thats generally the way Health Care Insurance works anyway, right . Thats exactly right. Just a different insurance program. We rely on providers to take in these patients, especially since medicaid generally reimburses at a lower rate than private insu...

Tests. These tests found problems with officer noncompliance with policy, equipment failures, an officer error due to lack of training. We followed up on systemic corrective make sure actions were taken. They did not consistently track to fix problems. We recommended that they do so, and they have actions underway to do that.
