Because this is, again, an assault, an assault on one of most important rights, the right to good health. Reverend Martin Luther king said, of all of the forms of inequality, the injustice in health care is one of the most inhuman, inhuman. We know that. We know that. And for well talk some more about that. But we know that this is a very important value to our country, to be respectful of meeting the needs of the American People. There are many well talk in the course of the morning, on the republican plan and how that is really so out of the question, and that we are not, were for the Affordable Care act, we want to see them come up with something that does not diminish what our goals were, and the Affordable Care act. Those goals were to expand coverage, to as many people as possible in our country, to improve benefits for everyone, and to lower the cost. So it is not just about the 20 Million People. Actually it is 20 million, comma, 400,000 people, as of today who have health care
That its more than just making access available. If access is denied it doesnt make any difference whether or not you have sold those leases. Its all about being able to access them. Let me move to a second question here. And this relates to my on going frustration on behalf of king cove. You made that decision to abandon the opportunity for a roughly 300 to 1 exchange to facilitate a 10mile onelane gravel road. You made that decision december 23rd of 2013. Do you know when king cove saw its most recent medivac . Im not aware of their most recent it was sunday. Sunday night. Do you know how many medivacs have been carried out so far . Is theres been five. Do you know how many were carried out last year . There were 16. 16 were coast guard, ten were noncoast guard. Do you know how many have been carried out . 21 medivacs. 7 coast guard, 14 noncoast guard. Now, as you and i know, its not the coast guards mission to provide merks edivacs services. But they do so because they are the only
The coast guard knows that and you know that. And in the meantime, 21 medivacs to pluck people out to get them to some level of safety when a tenmile onelane gravel, noncommercial use road could help save these lives. Weve got to keep working on this, madame secretary. Senator, i recognize this issue and i also recognize that this is not a unique situation. That there are many villages that struggle in the case of medical evacuations. And i appreciate that it is part of our job to work on that. And i will continue to work on that. That is true. That there are many villages. But there are none none that have ready access to an allweather airport right there. I think we should talk to the senator who has an Appropriations Committee and talk to her about what we can do. Im just pointing out that in 19 t e 98 we appropriated 187 million to promote a hoefer california. So i think that was something that the Clinton Administration worked on. So maybe we need to look at something in that area
