Days, an end, and in 36 the country will elect a new government and choose the next Prime Minister. The choice you now face is all about the future. Whoever wins on the eighth of june, will face one overriding task, to get the best possible deal for this United Kingdom from brexit. In the last few days, we have seen just how tough these talks are likely to be. Negotiation position in europe has been misrepresented in the international press. The negotiating stance has hardened. Threats against britain have been issued by politicians and officials. Have beense acts deliberately trying to influence the results of the general election that will take place on the eighth of june. I contrast, ive made clear in my letter to the president of the European Council invoking article 50 last month, that in leaving the european union, we wish no harm to our friends and allies on the continent. Deal is better than a bad deal, but we want a deal. We want a special partnership with the european union,

So a question about domestic issues in israel. What is israel doing to aid and assist its israeliarab citizens . To aid and assist. Well, israeliarab citizens are, i talked about being uniquely blessed. They are uniquely blessed as arabs in the middle east to live in a free country. Israeliarabs enjoy the rights that no other arabss in the region enjoy, and they can be full members of Israeli Society. And i think israel should not be embarrassed of what has happened in the last 65 years regarding israeliarabs. We should be proud. Because we have built a thriving democracy. It is not perfect. You always have room for improvement, and in all societies on earth you can always improve it. But israel understands something. I say, well, israel should not be judged by the standards of dictatorships. You are democracy, and you should be judged by the towards of democracy by the standards of democracy. Thats true.

That is where tim always challenges me as well. Go back to the section in the law that has the benefit requirements. You have to have a hospital, dr. , lap, Prescription Drug benefit. Drugan have a prescription benefit with a threshold adoptable. You can have a hospital benefit that pays 70 of the first 30 days and 100 of the next period of time.

You can restrict certain drugs that generics are available. There is flexibility in how you provide those benefits. Employers provide 70 actuarial benefits, but they do it efficiently for a lower cost. A number of variables in the way you package benefits. Is a get me wrong this zerosum game. You take something away when you do that. But i think the difference is Healthy People want Different Things than six people than sick people. Everybody wants catastrophic insurance but i want Different Things
