Diagnosed with early onset alzheimers. The hearing is about two hours. Senator collins this hearing will come to order. We have convened this afternoons hearing to assess our nations progress in combating alzheimers disease since the enactment of the national alzheimers project act which i coauthored with thensenator evan bayh in 2011. I dont need to tell the people in this room what a devastating disease alzheimers is. It exacts a tremendous personal and economic toll on the individual, the family, and our society. In addition to the human suffering it causes, alzheimers costs the United States more than 226 billion a year. Including 153 billion in costs to medicare and medicaid. These costs will skyrocket as the baby boom generation ages. Already, our nations most already our nations most costly disease, alzheimers is projected to cost more than 1. 1 trillion in 2050 if nothing is done to change its current trajectory. Alzheimers is also one of our nations leading causes of death. Th
Not oring up fake constructions that will never be accepted. Who is taking the initiative on the hill to do that. Most of the leadership has expressed one way or another they see their job as to stop the president. To obstruct. To undermine.

The netanyahu invitation, dont you think that when you have the president of the United States who as a candidate promised in the bipartisan environment in washington a different time in our poll and them consistently iguodalai
Quarter of a million times already. Nobody wants to be a burden. I think thats so at any age. Dr. Baldwin . One of the innovations i want to bring forward is something that weve been charged with at cdc. That is to think about the connection between clinical medicine and Public Health. In early september, all the cdc leadership was sent a note saying, how can we improve prevention in health care . He outlined four specific areas that i think crosswalk nicely with transportation. The first was to reduce practice variability.

The secondary was engaging the entire health care team. So assisting with these screenings, understanding these transitions, engaging allied health, Occupational Therapists and others and importantly having those Professionals Connect with these transporta
Thinkprogress. Org. On december 1, is night and day from where it was. The site is now stable and operating at its intended capacity at a greatly improved performance. Here is more. We start at the top of page six on Response Times. Response times, this is the measure of how quickly responds go to a user request. You can see on a bar on the lefthand side that in late october, the Response Time was running around eight seconds, which was clearly unacceptable and very frustrating for consumers. We now have much faster Response Times. The line graph shows average Response Time by day in the last three weeks. You can see the average Response Time is well under one second. The chart on the bottom of page six shows system error rate, another key operating metric. Oftens a measure of how the system presents an error message. You can see the progress that has been made. The far left shows where we were in late october with an error rate of approximately six percent. We got that down to two per
