treatment and care. people less likely to survive will not get those resources. they will be moved down the line. instead, in an effort to save as many human lives as possible, these hospitals now have permission and guidance to prioritize giving treatment to people who are more likely to live. and that is as bad as it sounds. it means that some people will not be admitted to the hospital, even though they need to be hospitalized. other people who might previously have been given curative treatment, treatment to cure them and save them instead will just be given comfort care to try to make things easier for them. and it s a sort of anti-dine phrase, crisis standards of care. but it is a terrible thing, and it is a thing that we really haven t confronted before as a country. now we ve got it in place, though, in one of montana s major medical centers. they moved to crisis standards of care this week. we ve also got it in every hospital in the state in idaho as of last we ....
full-court press to save his first-court agenda and the stakes, as we keep reporting, could not be higher. he spent the day trying to bridge differences between members of the home team. this afternoon, he held three separate face-to-face meetings in the house and senate, as well as moderates and those on the left. this is a messy sausage-making process. the president is bringing people with a range of viewpoints on big important packages. he s going to be deeply engage would getting bills and legislation across the finish line. he doesn t have a whole lot of time to broker a truce with members of the home team. his trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure bill and the 3.5 trillion social safety net package seem to be on a collision course. democrats voting which to vote first. progressives say they ll vote no unless the larger bill is passed. pelosi, who was mobbed by cameras, seem to suggest everything was on track. are you still planning on holding the biparti ....
previously have been given curative treatment, treatment to cure them and save them instead will just be given comfort care to try to make things easier for them. and it s a sort of anodyne phrase, crisis standards of care. but it is a terrible thing, and it is a thing that we really haven t confronted before as a country. now we ve got it in place, though, in one of montana s major medical centers. they moved to crisis standards of care this week. we ve also got it in every hospital in the state in idaho as of last week and in every hospital in the state in alaska as of tonight. and all of this, of course, is because of the huge influx of very sick covid patients, swamping and effectively breaking the hospital systems in these states so that they can no longer provide care along the ethical and sort of technical guidelines that they ve always followed. and it s not just covid patients who are going to suffer from this rationing in these hospitals. it means everybody wh ....
business people, you were all saying that would have been such an easy deal to make to cut him in somehow. it just did not happen. yeah, when the prime minister breaks out his and take two shots at the french who were generally upset of this deal the way they were handled as close ally. president biden pivoted a bit talking to president macron. they made assurance. privately joe, some people at the white house are admitting behind the scenes this was mishandled. there is some finger pointing going on that as you say would have been an easy thing to say. we understand you have this deal with austria. we ll do a deal but we ll take care of you on the other end and here is how we are going to do it. it s happening and it sounds like they get something patched up yesterday. they did. here at the white house a lot is going on. president biden met with lawmakers in an attempt to get the caucus to look past divisions and support his agenda. that will includes the $3.5 ....
is one they themselves created. speaker pelosi made a deal with moderates she would hold a vote on the president s infrastructure bill by this coming monday. the hope was that the bigger $3.5 trillion bill would be done at the same time, something progressives say has to happen so that they can both vote for both bills at the same time. but it doesn t look like that s going to happen. so that leaves democratic leaders with basically three ways to go here, they can try to pass the infrastructure bill on monday and risk angry progressives blocking it, they can delay the vote and break their promise to the moderates or they can grit their teeth and work like hell to get that reconciliation bill or something close enough to a deal to please progressives done by monday. i want to bring in monica alba at the white house, my colleague sahil kapur on capitol hill, jeff mason reuters white house correspondent and claire mccaskill who served 12 years as a democratic senator from ....
