Nothing compared to some of the bruises i got when i was fighting in the ring. When i was a boy, i dreamed of being an athlete. I listened to those games on the radio, baseball games, and i envisioned me as a man out in center field in Yankee Stadium or fenway park in boston, but the joy ive gotten with the work that ive done to the people of the state of nevada have been just as the filling as if i had played center field at Yankee Stadium. The job of minority leader, and the United States senate and is just a support as being majority just as important as being majority leader. It gives you so much opportunity to good things for this country and thats what i am focused on. But this accident has caused us for the first time to have a little downtime.

These are the goals that the secretary announced. Really focus on the dark circle on the page. The dark circle is the percentage of medicare fee for Service Payments in the alternative payment models. In 2011, they were zero. No medicare payments in the model. In 2014, at the end of 2014, about 20 of the 362 billion of the medicare feeforService Payments, excluding Medicare Advantage. But the numbers are similar. 20 were alternative payment models. The goal is by the end of 2016 30 of the feeforService Payments will be in the new alternative payment models that work and 50 by the end of 2018.

In the younger onset person, it is more likely to be a few are a pure form of the disease i think both of them are comparable. Treatment that are likely to be used for onset early on can be used for later on. There might be a slight predilection toward a genetic as with most diseases. When they occur earlier in life they are more genetically noted that later in life. The biology of the disease is quite comparable with early onset and late onset. Senat
