WELCOME TO "NEWSMAKERS" ON C-SPAN. THE DEBATE IS FULLY ENGAGED THIS WEEK. OUR TWO DWESTS BRING TO... |
| 00:00:42 |
|
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT HEALTH CARE AND IN THAT SORT OF REAL WORLD, NOT... |
| 00:01:09 |
|
I CERTAINLY HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET AND I DON'T KNOW THAT I'VE THOUGHT IT THROUGH FROM THAT CONTEXT. CLEARLY,... |
| 00:02:37 |
|
IS THAT TO SAY YOU THINK THERE'S NO SCENARIO UNDERSTOOD WHERE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING WITH HEALTH CARE... |
| 00:02:52 |
|
ON THE HOUSE SIDE IT WILL BE DIFFICULT. I HAVE WATCHED SOME OF THE ACT TIVELT ON THE SENATE SIDE.... |
| 00:03:57 |
|
YOU'RE ASKING A QUESTION THAT I CAN TAKE ONE OF TWO WAYS, AND I'M GOING TO TAKE IT THE WAY I WISH... |
| 00:05:15 |
|
I WAS WONDERING, YOU SPOKE ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE NUMBERS AREN'T THERE FOR REPUBLICANS. BUT DEMOCRATS... |
| 00:05:40 |
|
THAT'S THE CHAPTER THAT IS YET TO BE WRITTEN. I MADE SOME COMMENTS LAST NIGHT THAT HERE WE ARE ON... |
| 00:07:37 |
|
IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE REASONS WHY THINGS ARE COMING UP A LITTLE BIT, FOR EXAMPLE, BUSINESSES... |
| 00:08:49 |
|
IT SEEMS AS IF THE BLUE DOGS HAVE A LOT OF THE SAME FISCAL CONCERNS THAT MANY OF YOU DO. WHAT ARE... |
| 00:09:02 |
|
OF COURSE, I'M NOT IN LEADERSHIP, I'M A FRESHMAN. ON THE OTHER HAND, I'M WORKING ON GOING TO A COMMITTEE... |
| 00:09:42 |
|
WE GET VERY WRAPPED UP IN TACTICS IN WASHINGTON. BUT I WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR DESCRIPTION BECAUSE... |
| 00:09:54 |
|
IT'S VERY INTERESTING YOU ASK THAT. ONE THING THAT IS TOTALLY LACKING HERE IS AN UNDERSTANDING OF... |
| 00:11:37 |
|
WHERE DO THEY GET THE $50 A MONTH? |
| 00:11:40 |
|
I DO THINK THERE COULD BE A CREDIT GIVEN TO THE FOLKS WHO ARE BELOW A CERTAIN INCOME LEVEL TO FUND... |
| 00:12:16 |
|
I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE PUBLIC OPTION. YOU WERE HERE IN 2003 FOR THE MEDICARE VOTE. THERE WAS... |
| 00:12:39 |
|
YES. BUT I THINK THE CURRENT MAJORITY DEMONSTRATED THEIR COMPLETE DISDAIN FOR A TRIGGER. AND WHEN... |
| 00:15:21 |
|
I JUST WANT TO GET BACK IN THE PUBLIC PLAN BUT FROM A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ANGLE ON THIS IN TERMS OF... |
| 00:15:52 |
|
IF INDEED THAT IS WHAT MEDICINE IS GOING TO SEE ON THE TABLE, THEY NEED TO BE CERTAIN, ABSOLUTELY... |
| 00:18:14 |
|
YOU -- |
| 00:18:16 |
|
OTHER THAN THIS SYSTEM THEY'RE USING NOW. |
| 00:18:19 |
|
I KNOW WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME. |
| 00:18:22 |
|
THE ONE THING I WANT TO SAY IS IT ALMOST PROVES THE POINT. IF YOU LOOK AT EVERY GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH... |
| 00:19:28 |
|
SIMILAR TO THE CONTRADICTION, IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE, YOU CAN KEEP IT. AND THE ONE WE WON'T ACCEPT... |
| 00:19:39 |
|
YOU COULD POSSIBLY BEGIN A MARKUP NEXT WEEK IN ENERGY AND COMMERCE. IN THE HEALTH EDUCATION AND LABOR... |
| 00:19:59 |
|
WITHIN MY AUCHES, WITHIN MY PERSONAL OFFICE IDENTIFY BEEN DEVELOPING AMENDMENTS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL... |
| 00:20:25 |
|
JUST FROM YOU? |
| 00:20:26 |
|
NO. JUST FROM OUR COMMITTEE. 50 THEN ANOTHER 150 THAT ARE OUT THERE, AND MORE BEING WRITTEN EVERY... |
| 00:21:31 |
|
I JUST WANT, LOOKING FORWARD, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PROSPECTS, REALLY, OF GETTING SOMETHING DONE... |
| 00:21:46 |
|
I THINK ONE YOU'RE LOOKING INTO A CRYSTAL BAWL AND IT'S HARD TO SAY. I THINK THE WHOLE DEADLINE IS... |
| 00:22:31 |
|
I WOULD BELIEVE THAT THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE HAS THE ABILITY TO GET HER SIDE TO PASS SOMETHING BEFORE... |
| 00:23:33 |
|
A COLLEAGUE OF MINE OF TIME MAGAZINE ASKED AN INTERESTING QUESTION IN ONE OF HER PIECES THIS WEEK.... |
| 00:23:46 |
|
I THINK THAT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IS GETTING IT RIGHT. AND IN THE NETHERLANDS IT GOT TO TEN YEARS... |
| 00:24:18 |
|
AND ONE OF THE BIG LIES IS WE ARE ONLY DEALING WITH A TEN-YEAR BUDGETARY WINDOW. BUT IF YOU PEEL BACK... |
| 00:24:55 |
|
I WANT TO CLOSE WITH YOU, AS A FRESHMAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS, A PHYSICIAN WHO CAME HERE WANTING TO BE... |
| 00:25:09 |
|
I THINK MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES ARE WELL MEANING PEOPLE WHO DESIRE THE BEST FOR THEIR DISTRICT AND THEIR... |
| 00:25:42 |
|
WE'LL BE BACK TO TALK TO BOTH OF YOU ABOUT THE DEBATE AND THE PROSPECTS FOR PASSAGE THIS MONTH. |
| 00:26:00 |
|
WE JUST HEARD TWO REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR CHALLENGES AND IDEAS... |
| 00:26:18 |
|
I THINK FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, FOUR WEEKS ARE ON THE CALENDAR TO THE AUGUST RECESS AND WEVERING... |
| 00:26:42 |
|
IN WHAT WAY? |
| 00:26:44 |
|
JUST THIS WEEK, YOU SAW AN UNEXPECTED EVENT FOR THE SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STEPPING IN AND SAYING... |
| 00:27:21 |
|
IT CERTAINLY IS WORRISOME. AS IN 1993, IS THE 19194 WHEN THE THOUGHT THERE WAS A BILL AND IT ALL STARTED... |
| 00:28:32 |
|
SENATE MAJORITY HARRY REID AND SPEAKER PLOSSIE ARE DETERMINED TO GET SOMETHING DONE. THE PROCESS... |
| 00:29:03 |
|
WHAT DOES THIS SAY FOR THE WHITE HOUSE STRATEGY TO NOT DROP A PIECE OF LEGISLATION AND LET BOTH HOUSES... |
| 00:29:15 |
|
IT'S DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE LAST TIME THEY DROPPED THE LEGISLATION AND IT WAS A TERRIBLE FAILURE FOR... |
| 00:29:57 |
|
ARE THE BROAD PARAMETERS VISIBLE? |
| 00:29:58 |
|
OF THE BILL? RF OF WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT EXPECT FOR A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM COMING OUT. |
| 00:30:04 |
|
I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE BILL AND THE SENATE HEALTH BILL, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE... |
| 00:30:51 |
|
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE WEEK AHEAD? |
| 00:30:52 |
|
A LOT OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES. THE SENATE HEALTH EDUCATION AND PENSIONS... |
| 00:31:18 |
|
THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORTING AND QUESTIONS TO OUR TWO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. |
