President kennedy and his funeral cemented her in the public consciousness. Welcome to the cspan series, first ladies, influence and image. We have two guests at the table, to tell you more about her story. He has a special focus on the cold war era and the Kennedy Administration. Robert parry is a political scientist and as part of the modern first ladies series, he has written the Jacqueline Kennedy biography. Before we get into more details about her white house years, i want to talk about the images of that assassination. Anyone who was alive at that time has those images in their mind. This is a collective consciousness. She was just 34 years old. Just 34 years old. We know so much about this story. He was shot and into her arms, for five minutes they were there and she felt that they left the hospital to go back to washington, but they had to do something to make sure that he had the historical reputation. What would a 34yearold woman have have the sense of that experience . What
All sorts of areas we talked about tonight but may not have been the one that people thought about at the time she served. Transformational first lady. She set the stage for those to follow . How so . Her generation was abridged between traditional wives and mothers and the post womens liberation of the modern era. Would say thats exactly how she was as first lady. And afterwards, much more modern, much more full partners with their husbands and picking a particular policy to work on. Michael beschloss, book of the Jackie Kennedy tapes is widely available or you can get the book and listening to her in her own voice. Wonderful. Jaclyn kennedys first lady of the new frontier. Thank you for being at the table. Thank you for the series. Its been splendid. Its been a joy for us to learn along the way. Have a good evening, thank you for being with us.

Misunderstand. Lets do this together, lets explore these areas, lets give people information going forward. And lets make the system work better, not create a parallel system that will make it work worse. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans time has expired. The gentleman from michigan. Mr. Upton mr. Speaker, at this point id like to yield one minute to the gentleman from florida, mr. Bilirakis, a member of the health subcommittee. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from florida is recognized for one minute. Mr. Bilirakis thank you, mr. Speaker, and thank you, mr. Chairman, for sponsoring this great bill. In my state of florida 300,000 individuals have lost their Health Care Plans due to obamacare, and hardworking americans like my constituent, mark, are being adversely affected by this law. Mark currently has a plan that he likes. Obamacare will take it away. His new equivalent plan on the exchange comes with a 12,000 deductible and 1,000 monthly premiums. He and his wife are ab
President s executive order or the upton bill or what Mary Landrieu is working on mmhmm. Wouldnt allowing people who have these individual plans to keep their plans, wouldnt that mess up the Overall Concept in obama care because hopefully the people in the individual plans were more healthy and they remove them from the overall population. It messes them up. Just the idea of allowing a certain segment to keep its plan. Wouldnt that have a negative effect overall on the Affordable Care act . Well, while that may be true, im sure any change will have an effect. I think the bigger, broader effect is on the individual lives of people who are now getting plans they can no longer afford. By that, i mean you look at premium increases that are going up hundreds of dollars a month sometimes 1,000 a month. Its a wide range. Some people will get subsidies and support and pay less. But theres this group in the middle who make just enough they get no subsidy, and the price of their premiums for the
