John pistole, just weeks before this event. I am pleased that the tsa is undertaking a review to see what lessons to be learned from lac and i look forward to the results. I encourage them to bring in stakeholders. They have a significant role to play. And in addition to the hearing is an opportunity to also exam some of the findings in gaos report on screening passengers by Technique Program. Referred to as spot. I had the opportunity of observing this on 911. I am a fan of the program. I have seen it work firsthand. I have been a strong advocate of this. But the studies have shown less than favorable and show they limit the funding until an accurate study is included and use behavioral indicators to identify behavior. It will be three years before we can begin measuring the effecti effectiveness of spot. I look forward to hearing the argument and the argument that spot is riskbased. I think that is a good premise. I would like to hear the explanation used to support this. I am disapp
After this experience. She has been able to find a plan that helps her avoid all six of her doctors including a five specialist in the primary care physician. Here is the catch. The new plan . Its out of pocket costs are now going from 4 ,000 to 45 00 range. Its now going up to an expected 5,900. It was a tough decision for her to make. She ultimate decided to pay more money in order to keep seeing the doctors that have been treating her for the past four to six years. Its a real live story of a Medicare Advantage recipient in the country whose out of pocket costs are going up because of obamacare. Its wrong. It is unfair. It should not stand. I yield the floor. Mr. President . Senator from New Hampshire. Thank you, mr. President. I came to the floor yesterday to share so many stories im receiving from my constituents about them receiving cancellations for policies they wanted to keep, higher premium under the law. Each story is very sad. I feel badly for the people of my state and acr
The 24th news cycle that john referred to as facilitated in part by the internet. When the original book prodigal press was written the internet was nearly gleaned in al gores eye at that time but since then the internet is driving what happens in the news cycle. We felt like it was due for an update and start working on this book about three years ago. It was just published in september. We have been delighted by the reception of the book so far and what im going to do today is to share with you some of the ideas that are in this book. I want to talk a little bit about world news crew just to give you an idea of who we are even though john did a great job of setting me up on that score and also i want to be really clear that my purpose today is not to bash the Mainstream Media. I do not in any way shape or form consider the Mainstream Media or what some people call the legacy media as the enemy. I do believe however that we are and the midst of a pathological media culture and some of
Get rates that corporations get. They were paying nearly 20 more for insurance. Thats the simple idea behind the exchange as we have learned the implementation is not that simple. And the hope is these improvements will be made so people can sign up for their health care. I have to respond a little bit because i think were going to find that the problems with the website are the least of the problems with the Affordable Care act. Ii was in maine the past weekend. And a Small Business man called me, whose insurance had been canceled because it does not comply with obamacare. Hes facing a 54 increase in his premiums. Another constituent contacted me because her insurance also had been canceled. Insurance that she liked. She has a 19yearold son with Cystic Fibrosis who has been treated his entire life at boston childrens hospital. Under the new plan that the exchange is offering in the state of maine. She can no longer take her son to the doctor who is treated him his entire life at child
