Best practices within the ihs system itself and shared those and incense vized the ability to move that kind of activity that is providing highquality care for individuals in that system, in certain areas, and making certain that were able to extend that across the country in the ihs. Okay. We look forward to working with you on that. I think Best Practices is a good place to start. Obviously, those have not been employed in a lot of facilities in our state. In 2009, cms issued a final rule that required all Outpatient Therapeutic Services to be provided under direct supervision every year since then. The rule has been delayed. Either administratively or legislatively in small and rural hospitals. I shared this with you as well. In my statement we have a lot of critical access hospitals, rural areas, big geography to cover, and sometimes difficult to get providers out to these areas. So, the question is, if confirmed, will you work to
charge of some of these issues in a way that remove
to us anymore as early as this weekend or next monday. did you say cancer screenings? yes. you re saying that would be affected? absolutely. this is the thing that is incredible about what the republicans are doing is for vast majority of our patients are on medicaid. they come to us for prevenpreve. medicaid doesn t pay for abortion services. this is women who come to us for their annual exam. to get their pap smear, breast examine, birth control. it s preventive health care that helps for cancer prevention, unintended pregnancy.
maneuver by some republican senators so their vote is going to be conditioned upon knowing when it goes over to the house, if it does pass tonight there will be a conference committee. mitch mcconnell and paul ryan will control that conference committee. they have declared war on medicaid. they have said they want tax breaks for billionaires. they have declared war on planned parenthood and so ultimately the result will be a health care bill which will is damaging for tens of millions of american families. senator, i appreciate your time. i know you have to vote. we will keep up with you and appreciate it. congratulations on your new show. thank you. i appreciate you saying that. i don t know what they say on the hill. good luck on the vote. i want to bring back the power panel here. two prosecutors here. barbara, bringing you back into it. you heard the senator there call
popular to do that. there are definitely, as i outline, some problems with obamacare. you ve got some solutions you re proposing. ali, let me say first of all, thank you. one of the reasons why i said i would come on today, i had no idea you were going to do that segment is because you deal in the details of the policy that we need to get to as lawmakers and as people who do need to work together. thank you. i thought that was a good synopsis of the challenge. the issue is that the republicans almost have a war on medicaid. they want to cap it and lower and kick people off of medicaid when we know either worked. it s helped them get coverage. it s helped the economy and states and cities they are in and instead have ignored the issue which you outlined 6 to 7% of the individual market where in some places it s worked well, in other places it hasn t. what do we need to do to make improvements? so stop the war on medicaid, stop overall repeal and let s work across the aisle to focu
thanks for your time this afternoon. thank you. republicans reportedly according to kasie hunt there aiming for this vote by the july 4th recess, leaving lawmakers with maybe a week or so to review the legislation. what are you hearing from your colleagues about the timing? what are you hearing from your colleagues if anything about precisely what s in that bill? reporter: well, i think kasie said it best when she said there s a lot at stake here nap s what last night was about and what today is about. we don t want this to be a mystery. we want to understand the policies they re proposing. my sense of it is they want to have a war on medicaid, which would be devastating to communities and to individuals and it would end up raising everybody s rates and we don t want to see that. but our colleagues are not forthcoming yet as to when we will see that, and last night i said, well, at least come to the floor and talk about the various ideas that you have.
