Today. Be it medicare, tricare, private insurance, fehpb for those federal employees and when they dropped that they would immediately go into the va system for two years. I want to ask you to stop and think about that for just a second. To a veteran on medicare, theyre going to drop their medicare, go into the va for two years . And then pay the penalty to get back into part b medicare .

Yesterday, once again showed that no one is above the law in our country. Miliband . Mr. Speaker, today we know that for four years, the Prime Ministers handpicked closest adviser was a criminal and brought disgrace to downing street. We anyhow also know that the Prime Minister willfully ignored multiple warnings about him. On the 8th of july 2009, the guardian published evidence of phone hacking on an industrial scale when coulson was editor of the news of the world. At that time coulson was his director of communications. What action did he take .

Director of communications. What actions did he take. As i said a moment ago, the assurances that i received were the same that i received by the press complaints commission, by police investigations. They were also thoroughly gone into by the levison inquiry, an inquiry i supported. Specifically he talks about warnings specifically on the warning from the guardian. Levison said this. The editor of the guardian did not raise the issue with mr. Cameron at meetings both in the month after the article was published and the following year. He says this. He says this. Honorable members want to hear. There can be no criticism of mr. Cameron for not raising the issue. We had an exhaustive inquiry. I know he didnt like the result of the inquiry but he should accept it. Mr. Speaker, that is a lo longwinded way of saying when it come to couldon, he didnt want to know the evidence.
