Quorum call mrs. Boxer mr. President . The presiding officer the senator from california. Mrs. Boxer i ask had a the quorum call be dispensed with. The presiding officer without objection. Mrs. Boxer mr. President , we all know that our ally israel is in a fight for its survival because a terrorist group so named by the United States and europe is at war with israel right now. And we remember how it all started with the kidnapping of three israeli boys and the torture and their death, and hamas praised that.

I feared for his life. I didnt know whether my son was going to survive or not. I could not bear to watch the video of his beating. What if he was screaming for help . I could not be by his side to comfort him. When i arrived at the hospital to see him, there was an Israeli Police officer guarding his door. He refused to let me in at first and i pleaded to him, i told him, but im his mother until my husband convinced him finally to let me see my son. When i got the chance to go in and see him, before i got in the Israeli Police officer told me that i could not get near him, touch him or speak to him. When i looked over at him, it was like looking at someone i didnt know, i was meeting for the first time. His face was distorted. He just, he did not look normal. Um, he was sleeping, an
Correctional health care in 2011 which was about 1 in 6 of their entire correctional budget. And that level of spending shouldnt be surprising. This is not a healthy population. That includes a loent of folks with chronic conditions, with Mental Illness, with addiction disorders, and its getting older as the population ages. Ad so its not surprising that states are trying a whole range of different strategies to get r handle on Correctional Health a spending, everything from contracting with third partiesag to deliver the care to having more services delivered on site to taking advantage of new Health Coverage opportunities for inmates. So today wereto going to take a look at how well those cov strategies and some others are working and what kinds of policy changes might be helpful to improve both the quality and the value of the care that this population receives.

Israeli army can beat a child whose arms are restrained without all the officers being multiple officers were involved. One set on him. The other kicked him. And then dragged him by holding his hands behind his back. You can see the pool lot where they became. Only one officer has received any repercussion and that is a 15 day suspension.
