Understand that dr. Spencer is a hero. That he is doing exactly whats needed to actually bring the epidemic to an end. He is a hero in that he went and did the one thing that we need to do in order to stop more cases from coming not only here but everywhere else. We need to have experienced Health Workers. My understanding is that hes a fellow in International Emergency medicine, which is an extremely good training for Something Like this kind of activity. And the one thing that now we know in these three countries is that we need Health Workers. Theres tremendous work being done, especially by the u. S. And the uk, on building facilities, but its still not clear where the Health Workers are going to come from to provide the treatment, the isolation, the infection and control that we need right now. The epidemic is still growing. Its really hard to get exact numbers on where we are in the three countries, but we know its still growing. And i think any numbers that you might hear, most
Child, that would be the best thing that could happen for our country. To me, its absolutely the marriage rate. Brad wilcoxs article in the index makes it screamingly clear. Theres been a 10point reduction in the marriage rate in the last decade. What astonished me looking at the numbers again is that its been 50 since the era of the 19 physician. We all talk about out of wedlock childbearing. The childberg is not the problem. We are below replacement rate birth rate in the united states. Only two years of the last 42 have we been above replacement, even with the influence of immigrants to the country. Its the out of wedlock thing. And ill add one last point to that out of personal experience. I imagine theres some in the audience too. When young people come out of college, and theyre doing what we consider pursuing the American Dream in the right way, and their initial experience is a debt thats larger than the mortgage of their parents, we have a problem. It is its not the only reaso

And later a look at how diversifying americas workforce can be achieved by education and other means. The open Enrollment Period for purchasing Health Insurance on the federal marketplace began this weekend. The alliance for Health Reform recently hosted a discussion on what enrollees can expect and the improvements after last years rollout. This is an hour and a half. Hi, my name is ed lawrence and i want to welcome you to todays program on the Health Insurance marketplaces or exchanges. Some of you may have heard that tomorrow, that is november 15th begins the second open enrollment season for plans offered through the marketplace. That period runs through february 15, far shorter period than the sixmonth open enrollment time that we had last season. We all know that market places had some major problems with aspects of their operations, im sure well hear some about that today as well as hearing about the steps being made to improve that functionality.

Destroyed because thats much wider than isil. That is a segment of islamism which is very broad. Isil, the territorial entity can be destroyed. And i hope will. Right now its being destroyed on a severalyear plan at best. I believe the gentleman is right, it could be destroyed by having a policy. That requires making choices. Either we choose assad or we choose turkey. We dont sit on the fence. If we choose turkey, we get a major ground military force on our side. If we choose assad, we get a real military force on the side, not as big as turkey. Either way, isil can be destroyed in a matter of years. Sitting on the fence, and refusing to engage our own forces on the ground, which probably is going to continue, that is true, we cannot destroy isil even as a territorial entity at least for several years, and possibly never. What if they use the several years to gain weapons of mass destruction, which is quite possible. You raise a lot of good points here. Again, i think as long as peopl
