Were not always being taped live by cspan. Were delighted to have them all here today. This is a particularly exciting entry in our longstanding Public Health rounds that are sponsored by our Health Society and medicine program. The focus today is the inaugural report of the aspen Health Strategy group. The name, Health Strategy group, is taken from the aspen Strategy Group, for those of you familiar with American Foreign policy, you probably know about the aspen Strategy Group. It is undoubtedly the leading Bipartisan Group of its kind looking at Critical Issues of Foreign Policy and we establish the Health Strategy group with that in mind to bring together remarkable people from across different sectors in the American Health and medical landscape to look at the most pressing problems and to come together with different perspectives to make recommendations for change. This particular Strategy Group is cochaired by former secretaries of hhs, and also former governors, both kathleen se
The Vice President was put in charge of those negotiations by president obama. An agreement because they failed to get one. Thats what we are talking about. When it comes to our veterans, we have been a great debt of her attitude for what they have done to us. Sure welso want to make dont lose what we have gotten. We agree with the 2014 transition, but what we also want to do is make sure we are not projecting weakness abroad, and thats whats happening. This benghazi issue would be a tragedy in and of itself, but unfortunately, it is indicative of a broader problem, and that is what we are watching on our tv screens is the unraveling of the obama Foreign Policy, which is making the world are chaotic and us less safe. Governor romney talked about the weakness, talked about apologies from the Obama Administration. Was that really appropriate rights in the middle of the crisis . On that same day, the Obama Administration had the same position. Whats recall that they disavowed their own st
Senator orrin hatch chairs the subcommittee. This is just over an hour. The meeting will come to order. Its a pleasure to welcome everyone here this morning. Well be talking with representatives from the office of Inspector General, and from the Government Accountability office about their ongoing oversight work with respect to health care. Gov. And enrollment in the federal Health Insurance marketplace. I want to thank both entities for their hard work on these issues and acknowledge the contributions they made to help this committee perform more accurate and timely oversight. No secret ive been a fan of the socalled Affordable Care act. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that i and the many others oppose this from the beginning has been right all along. The facts speak for themselves. Republicans signed into law, hhs, lig and gao have released at least 6 dozen reports detailing various operation and information issues. Detailing the numerous areas where the law has fallen short. These
What im curious about is that if ths is an independent review and we are assuming that thats the way youve set it up to be most certainly there would have been a contract or documentation as to what the expectations were. Is there a memorandum of agreement or documentation concerning what the dui would review and if not why would we receive copies as requested by the committee as requested by the documents including the charge questions or the scope. They havent received the recommendation last evening. How are you send these the views of these following the conclusion of the hearing will. One was to make sure that the eta doesnt actually ourselves controlled by scope of the investigation. They scope themselves so that they wouldnt be accused of narrowing that inappropriately. So im happy to follow up to see if i can be helpful getting information about how they have defined it. But they havent seen the documentation either.

Hopefully youll get more prosecutions and more convictions, you know, if Law Enforcement is brought in faster. Well, it seems to me that the dialogue here today has been much more a focus on helping the victim cope and deal. Thats all incredibly important and to deal with the aftermath and go forward. But i dont hear a lot of dialogue about justice. I dont hear a lot of dialogue about keeping evil perpetrators off the streets so they dont do it to another girl.
