System to have to navigate medicare and medicaid. There is a promise in the fact that the state and federal government are trying to take this on, after 50 years, we have some demonstration in place for this issue that we have highlighted for decades and we really have had no progress. I appreciate the fact that many states are trying to do something. It is far from perfect, it is a struggle. It is a struggle for those states to go a different route where we mandate organizations. This is an important issue for many states, just trying to figure out what the right path forward is, but is clearly something we need to have a continued conversation around, what is the solution for duels and what will best serve their needs . Judy other questions . We definitely did not cover everything. Michael riley. A couple of things, vern, in agreeof provider taxes, i it is a sustainability issue, but it leads to questions whether the whole Financing Mechanism is a sustainable mechanism in terms of the state and an evergrowing program. The other thing, i dont want to sound too negative, but lots of good information, some of that i disagree with. But over the last few years, i , fromore and more about the political side, about how medicaid is a broken program, which i do not think it is. But there is some rhetoric out there. How do you all think we can get the message out in a way to the public come outside of this room , about all the good things that medicaid does do and to the importance of the program and the Health Care System . Good point. Anybody . I wanted to pick up on the two parts. I agree, with respect to providers, i agree with what vernon and donna said, it is an essential part of the sustainability, i do think in some ways a lot of provider Delivery System reform, because a lot of harderrs are generating they are harder to engage, because they feel they are a different kind of part of the state and a half in some markets and situations. With respect to the comment , iut medicaid being broken quote, ied of the nobody goes there anymore because it is too crowded. When the unit has dramatically reduced the stigma, people in mainstream programs now, i do not think medicaid is broken. I think what that is a proxy for is a, about sustainability over time and i think that is a proxy for, can we sustain, whether it is federal funds or state funds, a Coverage Program like medicaid and that is playing out with a lot of waivers. To me, the way of dealing with medicaid being broken, comments is working on sustainability model, essentially. Lends toso think it the complexity of medicaid. A lot of people still confuse medicaid and medicare. You have to explain this very intricate program and also be able to explain the value and the personal aspect associated with medicaid as well. To have a better feel for what it means in terms of the impact of medicaid. Is a great question, right at the end, it reminds me of the medical director in utah, early in his career he knew a that is part of how the program has come. Broken when is not you look at what it does. It is the fiscal issues that are a challenge, is facing the gallows, whether these fiscal pressures facing the program this just reminds me of a conversation i had, there was a family with three children, one of them with needs that needed expensive medications, they asked me to help coach them. They encountered all the issues that everyone knows about in health care and then one day, when i walked into church and this lady came running over to joy inth to me with her eyes and she said, i have to tell you the news. We were approved for medicaid. And she started telling me what she had learned that week about what it covered and how her child was going to all the health care he needed and she was feeling so secure and she said, vern, do you realize how good medicaid is . [laughter] and i thought in that moment, that describes what has happened to this program, it is mainstream, it makes a difference, it is not broken for people who are using it. Deb and the Affordable Care act, when there was a foundation before 2012,digm, i thought we were on our way to the end of medicaid is broken and it is a good health insurer. I think the aca create the foundation to move us forward and too often we hear that medicaid is broken as the excuse for someone who does not want to fact fordicaid, so the them is, it is broken and we do not have to expand it. Judy with that, we will end. I want to thank you for your attention. [applause] [applause] nationsnited commissioner for refugees estimates that a Record Number of migrants from syria and other countries arrived in europe last month, and the largest migration world war ii. , and richard, talks about the situation and challenges. Richard. This is where the bulk of our aid has gone, around syria and inside syria, to help those people who are displaced and trying to survive. We have been doing this for years. We are in some ways the best partners to these countries and trying to call attention to these needs, trying to mobilize resources, not just from the u. S. We are the leader in providing assistance to these countries, but also diplomatically, we are reaching out to other countries, trying to convince them to join with us in providing assistance in those places where refugees have fled to, so that they can so that they dont have to be alone. What we have to do as an International Community is ensure the lives of those people, keep them fed, warm and sheltered, but their lives are hurt tooibly many adults who are idle, they cannot get jobs. These are people who want to care for themselves and for families and so the more we can do to support refugees to have fuller lives, the more we can do to help the societies that are hosting them, i think that will really help the ability of this region in syria you can watch the entire interview tomorrow at 10 00 a.

A for decades, too many working americans went without the security of health insurance. Their Financial Wellbeing suffered because of it. We have begun to change that. The reps Affordable Care act has taken a, we have covered 70. 6 million americans since 2010, the uninsured rate has decreased. And for the first time, more than 90 of americans are covered. If you are not covered yet, or if you care about somebody who has not uncovered yet, here is your chance. It is open a roman season and open a roman enrollment season. At healthcare. Gov, youll find Companies Competing for your business. You can compare plans and choose the one that is right for your family. Most americans will find an option that costs less than 75 a month. Even if you already have insurance, check it out, shopping around can save money. Last year, consumers who shopped saved almost 400. Take the story of a man who email me earlier this year. Phil was a Software Developer from chicago, last winter he had an idea for a new app and decided to start his own company. That can be scary when you need your own health insurance. He went on to healthcare. Gov, answer questions, picked a plan and even found out he was eligible for a tax credit that saved him money. Here is what he wrote, i am still in shock about how great the experience of signing up for health care was. I will have a lot to worry about over the course of the year as a try to get my app released, but thankfully Good Health Care will not be one of those worries. After he sent me that email, he ended up getting a better job anyway, but that is the point of health insurance, piece of mind and under the importable Affordable Care act, if you want to go back to school or chase that new idea, you can go back without worrying. If you have preexisting conditions, diabetes or cancer, or a heart attack, you can no longer be charged more or deny coverage. You can no longer be charged more as for being a woman. Event of care like immunizations Preventative Care like imitations comes no longer outofpocket. That cynicsthe myth have peddled, this is reality, health care in america. The bottom line, americans like it, they are happy with plans and premiums. So join them. Give it a shot. Check out, health care. Gov. All, one 800 to find a plan that is right for you or somebody that you care about. If you live in one of the 20 cities participating in our Healthy Community challenge, i want to see how many neighbors you can get signed up. I will come to the city with the highest, who are not covered right now. That is a promise. Our country is at its best when we watch out for each other and together we can help more americans get the security they deserve. Thank you everybody and have a great weekend. Johnson wednesday is veterans day and a has a special meaning for me. Today i want to tell you why. I served in the air force for 29 inrs, i flew combat missions korea and vietnam and in 1966, when i was serving in vietnam i was shot down and taken prisoner. I spent nearly seven years in hilton, and when i got out i wade 140 pounds. I lives through those years by the grace of god and he gave me all the support i needed. , we were not allowed to talk to us of the first night in my cell after i got out of the torture room, they taught me the cap tap code. The three of us did everything we could to fight against our captors, so we were blacklisted as hardcore resistors. Placewe were moved to the we called alcatraz, a pow camp with eight others, the 11 of us becoming the alcatraz gain. Gang. Inre we spent 42 months solitary confinement with our legs shackled. There was no news from home and our captors did their best to make us feel forgotten. But my alcatraz buddies and i were a family, we banded together and encouraged one another and teach others spirits up. I still remember one night in particular, i had spent 74 days in late iron leg irons, and it was a long time since i had seen the sky. I felt finished, but that night of the boot a typhoon winds through the city and myself filled with water and i huddled against the wall, as far away from the rain as i could. I began to pray as i had never paid before prayed before. And i felt a strange sense of peace in the darkness. The next morning, my soul was flooded cell was flooded with the light of dawn, the storm had stopped. The windows were taken off and i had a sense of the presence of god at that moment. I knew i was going to be all right. Camest a few hours, guards in and removed my legs from the telling that story reminds me of something a fellow captive etched on one of the walls. Freedom has a taste to those who fight and almost die, that the protected will never know. Freedom is not free, it has a firstnd that cost is paid by our veterans and their families, because when one member joins, it is the whole family that serves. When our veterans come home, we should do all we can to make sure they get the care they need, when they need it. That is the least we can do, for now i just want to wish all servicemen and women a very happy veterans day. God bless you all and god bless america, i salute you.

In her book, the dandelion through the crack, she comments on the open resistance to prohibition and how sacramento earned the reputation as the wettest city in the nation. And we will also discuss the book, none wounded, none missing, all dead, a bagger fee of general custer. Elizabeth was the first to come to his defense and say, no, that is not what happened. I know george and another character of my george, he would not have done this. She stood up for him and championed his actions, so was elizabeths voice that rose to the top. Not only because she was a woman and people were paying attention to what she was saying because she was his wife, but because she outlived all of them. Elizabeth does not die until 1933, so she is therefore the 50th anniversary of the battle of little big more. She is therefore big horn. Foris therefore there all of history, so she can shape what is being said about her husband. On American History tv, we will tour the mention of governor and railroad tycoon, stanford. As a railroad executive, stanford negotiated deals in the mansion that helped complete the transcontinental railroad. Mr. Stanford was our last twoyear term governor, he was elected and served all of 1862 and all of 1863. And he was part of a group of men who were merchants and they were politically active and they had similar ideas and stanford was their first candidate that was successfully elected as a governor. He was our eighth governor and the first republican governor of california. Then we will visit the ofanese american archivals sacramento university. It includes letters and artwork from japaneseamerican communities following the attack on pearl harbor. And Sacramento City historians share artifacts related to the 1849 gold rush which brought 300,000 people to california. Today we are in the center for sacramento history and we have the original records of the city and county and we go from the beginning of the city in 1850 although we up to the present. When you talk about the experience of coming to california, searching for gold, you will need supplies, you probably would have had your portrait taken in order to document yourself before your journey. One important thing you would have acquired is a map to figure out where to go. This is a great map of the gold fields. It would be folded, so it can fit into the pocket, it was lightweight, compact and easy to travel with. This would have been essential and it dates from 1849, showing miners where to go. You can see the business of producing all of these things, people were quickly making money off of the people who are looking for gold. This weekend, watch the cities tour in sacramento. Throughout the day on book tv. And sunday afternoon at 2 00 on cspan3. The cspan cities tour, working with cable affiliates and visiting cities across the country. Cspan, a look at the impact of legalized marijuana in colorado and other states around the country. S debate between policy part of a forum hosted by the steamboat institute. At the beginning, we heard people say, well it cost too much in the stores and that will result in an underground market. But now it cost the same. When you think about it, now that there are stores, where do people want to go . Get marijuana,to they want to access it like people access alcohol. You want to find somebody who has it and hope they are actually going to give it to you and you will be safe, or do you want to stop at the store . What we are seeing, we are seeing sales have been going up, they started lower, but have gone higher, because people are trusting of the system and there is a reason why more and more people are buying marijuana from stores, because it is accessible in every way. If you are a producer in another place, whether it is mexico or some other place, and you want to lower your overhead by reducing the amount of security you need to operate underground, guess where you will go, you are coming to colorado and it is happening and we know it is happening because we know how much is exported out of the state. Again you can see all of that debate on the legalization of marijuana tonight at 8 30 p. M. Eastern, before that, the communicators is next, with james lewis discussing Cyber Security and threats to the u. S.
