Hello. I'm Richard Ager. Welcome to NH Outlook. After more than a year of often-bitter debate, the Congress has passed a health reform bill that will cover all Americans. |
| Healthcare SOT Return to index of stories... |
Soundup: Carol Shea-Porter: In: 2:17:02 " Tonight I vote for the middle class… Out: 2:18:00 …For the families of NH, For the Families across America, I vote for you." Track: It was a vote that nearly didn't happen as both parties scrambled to assemble enough votes in the House for a partisan vote. The Republicans all voted no, as promised. The Democrats managed to keep enough members from straying and ended up with a 7 vote margin. SOT: Obama: In: 00:11:08 "We have just enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, a core principle that everyone should have a basic security when it comes to their healthcare. And it is an extraordinary achievement that has happened because of you all and all the advocates across this country. So thank you - thank you- God bless you and God bless the United States of America. " 00:11:36 Clapping Track: President Obama signed the bill letter by letter so that each commemorative pen would be truly part of history. Besiden him, 11 year old Marcelas Owens lost his mother to an illness. She had no insurance - and Marcelas told her story across the country during the campaign for this bill. |
| Conversation Return to index of stories... |
Intro to Guests: Joining me are Charlie Arlinghaus, President of the Josiah Bartlett Center on Public Policy, And Ned Helms, Director of the New Hampshire Institute for Health Policy and Practice. 1: The President said this is what change looks like. A historic day. Agree? 2: Let's look at some highlights of the reform package. It takes a while for some parts to kick in. So - when the President signed the bill on Tuesday - what changed right away? 3: Within 3 months, anyone now unable to find coverage because of a preexisting condition will be eligible for a new high-risk pool coverage. 4: In 6 months, lifetime limits are outlawed. No more cancelling policies. And no more denial of coverage for children because of pre existing conditions. 5: By 2014, No one can be denied because of pre-existing conditions. And No Limits On Coverage. 6: On the Payment Side. By 2013, those who make more than a quarter million a year will pay extra tax on investment income. 7: If you don't buy insurance, the fine the first year is $95 or 1% of income - but that grows to $695 or 2% of income. Charlie - is this where free markets meet the social compact? 8: Politically, Judd Gregg is to lead the fight against implementation in the U.S. Senate - and Jeb Bradley has promised to lead it at the State House. What's that about - and how far can it go, given that this just was voted in. 9: Do you see potential for backlash here against the Republicans? And think about taking back potentially life-saving measures -once they've been granted. That is all the time we have this time around - I'm sure we'll discuss health care reform again very soon. Thank you for joining us. |
| Intro Patraeus Return to index of stories... |
David Patraeus became known as the General who took command of U.S. and allied forces in Iraq in 2007 and launched "the surge". That increase in the American military presence is widely credited for bringing a measure of stability to Iraq, and making possible the current gradual withdrawal of forces. TAKE V/O General Patraeus visited the Institute of Politics at St. Anselm's College this week. He spoke about Iraq, Afghanistan, the surge - and the guiding philosophy behind it. |

Patraeus Bite #1 Disk 2 18:54:40 THE MOST IMPORTANT SURGE IN IRAQ WAS THE SURGE OF IDEAS. 18:55:34 AMONG THOSE BIG IDEAS FOR EXAMPLE WAS SECURE THE POPULATION, DO IT BY LIVING WITH THE PEOPLE, LIVE OUR VALUES IS 18:55:44 A HUGELY IMPORTANT ONE. BE FIRST WITH THE TRUTH, SUPPORT RECONCILIATION AND ON AND ON. WELL TO LIVE OUR VALUES IS CAUGHT UP IN THE WHOLE INTERROGATION ISSUE AND I WOULD ARGUE THERE ARE TWO REASONS TO LIVE YOUR VALUES 18:56:01 FIRST OF ALL FOR DECADES OR CENTURIES GREAT PATRIOTS HAVE FOUGHT TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT THOSE VALUES AS AN BIG INTELLECTUAL DEBATE DISCUSSION AND IN A SENSE IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. 18:56:24 Bill - How crucial was the surge as a turning point - and where might we be now without General Patraeus? He talks a lot about living our values - and the cost if we don't. He says that's why he wants to close Gitmo - the prison at Guantanamo Bay - which he calls a superb - but tainted facility. |

I also asked him about Don't Ask, Don't tell - the current policy that keeps gays and lesbians out of - or hidden in the armed forces. Here's his take: Patraeus Bite #2 Disk 1 17:15:43 THE TIME HAS COME TO CONSIDER IF THE CHANGE SHOULD BE MADE BUT IT SHOULD BE DONE IN A SENSIBLE AND THOUGHTFUL DELIBERATE MATTER THAT HAS TO INCLUDE THIS REVIEW BEING CONDUCTED 17:15:58 BECAUSE THE REVIEW IS WHAT WILL IDENTIFY THE VIEWS IN THE FORCE IN AN OBJECTIVE AND RIGOROUS MATTER 17:17:33 DO YOU THINK THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS MORE ACCEPTING OR WILLING NOW THEN IT WAS BACK IN '93? 17:17:37 WELL GEN COLIN POWELL THINK SO AND HE WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS AT THE TIME HE WAS AN ARCHITECT I THINK OR CERTAINLY CONTRIBUTE TO ITS - I WAS A FEW LEVELS DOWN BELOW HIM AND BUT THAT IS WHAT HE HAD SAID AND - I THINK THAT IS ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT 17:17:55 IS INDISPUTABLE. |
