| 00:10:38 |
|
FOX NEWS. IN 1993 AND '94 HEALTH CARE WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR INITIATIVES OF A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT. ... |
| 00:11:06 |
|
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT. CLEARLY WE NEED TO REFORM OUR HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM. IT IS A COLLECTION OF... |
| 00:13:18 |
|
YOUR PROPOSAL IS SO FAR DIFFERENT. HOW ARE YOU CALLING TO BRING ENOUGH ON BOARD. |
| 00:13:33 |
|
WELL, MY PLAN IS BASICALLY ONE THAT INCLUDES THE BULK OF WHAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE TALKING ABOUT.... |
| 00:15:13 |
|
CAN YOU ELABORATE WHERE PRIMARY CARE FITS INTO THIS PLAN AND THE PATIENTS CENTERED MEDICAL HOME? |
| 00:15:23 |
|
AS OUR CONCEPTS WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT. THEY ENJOY VAST, WIDESPREAD SUPPORT WITH ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL... |
| 00:16:54 |
|
SENATOR, THE CHAIN'S THE DEMOCRATS MADE, HOW DOES IT HELP BOLSTER THE PLANS AND HOW CRITICAL ARE THE... |
| 00:17:08 |
|
PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR HEALTH-CARE REFORM NOW IS THE TIME. IT IS GOING TO -- AND I VERY... |
| 00:18:05 |
|
MEDICAID BEING A STATE DIFFERENT PROGRAM THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH REIMBURSEMENT. |
| 00:18:11 |
|
PLEASE SPEAK UP. |
| 00:18:12 |
|
BEING A STATE-RUN PROGRAM THERE ARE OCCASIONAL ACCESS PROBLEMS. AND SOME RECENT PAYMENT ISSUES ON... |
| 00:18:27 |
|
FIRST OF ALL, WE WILL GIVE AID TO STATES TO HELP THEM BOLSTER THEIR OWN AND MEDICAID PROGRAMS. WE... |
| 00:20:06 |
|
WHAT POTENTIAL TO UC FOR TAX CODE CHANGES TO FIND WIDER COVERAGE? AGGRESSIVELY ATTACKING THOSE CHANGES.... |
| 00:20:23 |
|
WITH RESPECT TO THE FIRST IS IMPORTANCE TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING. THAT SHOULD BE ON THE TABLE. IT IS... |
| 00:22:51 |
|
NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SPECULATED THAT GIVEN WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON HEALTH REFORM... |
| 00:23:14 |
|
I THINK THE NEED IS SO GREAT THAT WE HAVE TO ACT NOW. WE HAVE NO CHOICE. WE HAVE AN ADDRESS. AND... |
| 00:24:18 |
|
YOU TALKED ABOUT WORKING WITH SENATOR KENNEDY. WILL THERE BE ONE BILL? |
| 00:24:26 |
|
I AM LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. THERE ARE CERTAIN PROVISIONS AND THERE ARE PROVISIONS UNDER THE JURISDICTION... |
| 00:25:35 |
|
WHO ARE YOU WORKING WITH IN THE HOUSE? |
| 00:25:39 |
|
THAT IS TWO QUESTIONS. I KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS IN THAT POSITION. TO BE HONEST I HAVE NOT SPOKEN DIRECTLY... |
| 00:26:57 |
|
I THE TALKED ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE. REIMBURSEMENTS. |
| 00:27:01 |
|
WE HAVE TO GET MORE. PRIMARY-CARE DOCTORS ARE LEADING. THEY ARE NOT TAKING MEDICARE PATIENTS. I... |
| 00:27:48 |
|
MY HOPE IS THAT DRUGS ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE FORMULA. |
| 00:28:01 |
|
INDIVIDUAL MANDATES ARE A KEY PRINCIPLE. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA DID NOT SUPPORT THAT DURING HIS CAMPAIGN.... |
| 00:28:11 |
|
FIRST OF ALL, ARE BILLS ARE MUCH MORE SIMILAR THAN THEY ARE DIFFERENT. THERE ARE VERY SIMILAR. SECOND,... |
| 00:29:12 |
|
DO YOU ENVISION A SITUATION IN WHICH SOME ARE SO INVOLVED WE WILL HAVE TO PULL OUT? |
| 00:29:20 |
|
WELL, IF THAT HAPPENS IT WILL HAPPEN ON ITS OWN. THE GOAL HERE IS FOR THE INSTITUTE, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE... |
| 00:30:20 |
|
THE SPECIFIC FEDERAL HEALTH-CARE PROGRAM. THE VA AND ACTIVE MILITARY. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CREATING... |
| 00:30:41 |
|
WELL, WE TAKE THINGS ONE AT THAT TIME. SO THIS IS REALLY ONE FOR EVERY AMERICAN THAT IS NOT IN THE... |
| 00:31:23 |
|
AROUND INSURANCE COMPANIES. |
| 00:31:24 |
|
SO, NO. CARRIERS WE WILL HAVE -- THEY WILL TAKE A HARD LOOK AT A LOT OF WHAT IS GOING ON. THERE ARE... |
| 00:32:30 |
|
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS LEGISLATION WILL PASS CONGRESS NEXT YEAR? OR IS PASSAGE OF THAT ECONOMIC... |
| 00:32:43 |
|
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. FIRST OF ALL, THE COST OF THAT ECONOMIC BAILOUT IS NOT 700. IT IS ACTUALLY... |
| 00:35:14 |
|
JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT. THAT STUDY WILL BE OKAY? OR WILL WE LOOK FOR OTHER |
| 00:35:21 |
|
EITHER WAY. I'M JUST SAYING THAT UP FRONT THIS IS AN INVESTMENT. AND WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO... |
| 00:36:07 |
|
I DID. I DO NOT WANT ANYBODY TO TAKE A A SENSE OF THE MONEY WE ARE CREATING. THAT IS WHAT I SAID... |
| 00:36:33 |
|
WILL INCREASE SPENDING? |
| 00:36:38 |
|
I AM STRONGLY SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT WORKING WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF CENTERS. WILL FIND A WAY TO GET... |
| 00:37:05 |
|
YOU DID DRAFT THIS. YOU HAVE SOME IDEA. CAN YOU GIVE US ANYTHING AS FAR AS FIGURES? |
| 00:37:20 |
|
AS SOON AS WE GET THE LEGISLATION. THANKS VERY MUCH. |
