Your bill is highly threatening to people who have psychiatric diagnosis. That there are more controls being put in place and more Civil Liberties who did you hear that from . Several people. Who . What organization. On our own. So what happens is organizations who get funding from sampson. Sampson didnt say anything. They do. They fund a lot of these organizations. They make sure you speak out because you take away the funding. Were not taking away funding. We are protecting peoples rights to be well. Let me finish. Okay. People have the right to get better. There is nothing in our bill that takes away rights. One organization told the audience says if a Police Officer stops you for traffic activity they can force you to take medication. That is not true. They are creating a whole cloud of lies. We want more providers. We want more places for treatment. We want grants. We want innovation grants, demonstration grants. We dont money to be bought up in washington. We want more efficiency
The expression too big to fail doesn apply here. The total budget has more than doubled that. My concern is that the savings and deficiencies in the orr all hhs budget are very small when compared to the overall spending. The president s proposed budget would save just over 250 billion over the next decade. On the policy front the 5d min straegs needs to be up front. For some time now, ive been concerned with the impact of the entitlement programs. ; at that time hha was the largest operating Division Within hhss total staff. And more than half of hhss total annual budget. I sbebd e intend to introduce ledgelation to move chh out of chs. I look forward to working to end overreliance.

And i do appreciate how difficult your job is and appreciate the openness with which youve considered with myself and others on this committee. Senator . Thank you, mr. Chairman. Secretary burwel
Country. There was a women in the Law Conference i attended at i think the first one was at yale. And we were getting out materials to i rode with my friends, herman cain and kenneth davidson, one of the published cases on sex discrimination and the law. But we came to see by the way, i should say who the we were. A brilliant lawyer, marvin kilpack, he was one of the general counsel. He spotted in law week what he said is going to be the turning point gender discrimination case. The year is 1970 and the Supreme Court has never seen a gender classification that it thought was unconstitutional. This case was decided by the Supreme Court of idaho. It was about a woman named sally reid who was divorced when her son was what the law calls of tender years so sally got custody. When the boy got to be a teenager the father said he now needs to be prepared for a mans world, so i want him to live with me. Sally thought that was a bad idea. Ill cut part of the story short, but the boy one day too
But well find out what the court says soon enough. At yesterdays ways and means hearing, secretary lu refused to say if theres a contingency plan. Secretary burwell does the administration have a contingency plan. Senator right now, the Justice Department will represent for us in the Supreme Court is the correct position. We believe that both in terms of the spirit of the law and the intent of congress, as well as the letter of the law. And the justice will make that argument in terms of what we believe and what we see it as happening is the idea that tax credits would be provided by the congress for individuals in say, the sfat of new york but noot the state of new jersey. It would force the states not to have to pay the state exchanges rather than have the federal government do it for them. So its a big issue. Language is unambiguous. Do you have a contingency plan .
