Americans safe, im offering this amendment today. Because of the catastrophe that can result from disasters, be they natural or manmade at Nuclear Power plants, prevention of meldowns is key. And to have enough backup power to avoid a meltdown. The n. R. C. Must have the flexibility to issue new regulations to ensure the wellbeing of all americans and prevent nuclear disasters. This bill is designed so new regulations will never be put into place. We cannot let the Nuclear Regulatory commission not to ever put in new regulations. Exempt the Nuclear Regulatory commission. And that way, the Nuclear Regulatory commission would have the ability to safeguard Public Health and safety as it should. We should not risk the lives of millions and millions of people if a danger becomes obvious or evident, i should say, and the experts in charge of protecting against that, deems new protection necessary.

There are doubledigit figures and our people have had to take really serious challenges. His government made really serious decisions or if it is an example of the Government Works and understands the patience of people, putting up with these changes in the greater picture of things. Now, we expect to do better. But

Americans say theyre more worried about health care today than any other major issue. Remember this guy . Ten years ago, president obama had a solution. The Affordable Care act, also known as obamacare, was supposed to help make Health Insurance more affordable. But have you tried to buy it lately . For some its still a luxury item. Now its basically on life support. Well appeal every word of obamacare. And voters are taking action. While the partisan debate rages on in washington, i want to understand how the issue of health care is playing out in the lives of everyday americans. So im traveling to texas to meet people who cant afford their medical bills. To utah to find out what happens when voters rise up and demand more Health Insurance. And new york to hear about a plan that would turn the whole system on its head. Health Car
