agency for international development, wendy sherman, used to be the director of emily's list. so every dollar of foreign aid goes to the person who used to be the director of emily's list. yet obama's international abortion agenda is unpopular and getting increasingly unpopular with the american public. the gallup poll found by a margin of 65% to 35% americans opposed his reskigs of the mexico city policy and i would note parenthetically the most recent gallup poll from may 15 indicates that americans are clearly trending pro-life with 51% calling themselves pro-life, 42% calling themself pro-choice. . america is changing, it is evolving in favor of life. in late april, mr. speaker, we received our distinguished secretary of state at the foreign affairs committee and i raised some issues that concerned me with her. i noted that she had recently received the marg rat -- margaret sanger award in houston on march 27, and then in her speech, which was on the u.s. department of state's website she quoted she was, quote in awe of margaret sanger. she said that margaret sanger's life

notion it would have been wonderful if shakespeare get a notebook and write down things he heard or emily brought tea had a notebook and write-down things you heard it in her daily life. wouldn't it be fascinating to read so i began doing in some years ago. i overheard some say something and pull up in a book and write down and put it in a notebook. you find a bunch of those in there. this is one: the word students into a writer and a book signing, when is climate change or jihadism or a species decline in your books? what is the use of a book today if it is not about survival? a woman unknown to either of them over during send, what is the use of survival without books that go beyond survival? well, i hope my hope for "roads to quoz" is that it does go beyond survival, but i also hope that as you read it you will see that this issue of quoz and of connection and cooled patterns that are about footprints and tracks and traces and leaving things behind for somebody else is very much about our survival. i hope so. thanks very much. [applause] here is your chance now to prove to the nation o

wouldn't it be wonderful if shakespeare kept a notebook and would write down things that he heard or emilie donte writing things down? . . that are about footprints and tracks and traces and believing things behind for somebody else is very much about our survival. i hope so. thanks very much. [applause] here is your chance now to prove to the nation on c-span how bright people in seattle are and how talkative they are and how wonderful you are and how humorous you are. i see one hand there. if you can get to the mic if you can. >> i am just curious, what is the most startling instinct thing that you encountered in your travels? >> the most startling food? i will paraphrase the question for the tv. what is the most startling food i have encountered in my travels? a hard question but let me tell you the most recent startling food i encountered. this was and north carolina, near the davidson, kudner davidson north carolina in cornelius north carolina. we went into al-khalifa, one of those family cafes. it was across the parking lot from a susie place so i was asking the waitress if she likes

. >> emily walker with med page. you said in your opening spade-- speech-- the president today said he mentioned as gee are saying that they needed to move to a system that was more centered on patient outcomes. were you disappointed he did not focus on amora and what did you interpret his comments to be? >> let's give him credit where credit is due and in my introductory remarks i commented on that. lenny crafted his budget and release the budget, he was the first president to lead knowledge that we need to pour cement into that hole forever and he put out a reality based budget, not one that presents and that 21% cut to position services was going to occur, so he did that and we are very grateful and that was the point of the introductory remarks. we all know that in he knows it. >> catherine, wgn is. you said the ama is committed to covering all americans, working to cover the ensured and make insurance more affordable. can you talk about your proposal just as the president did today? >> actually, we have been dev

. >> i am emily, one of the things i noticed in examining the conflict between the 2 sides is that while conservatives as he mentioned, have varying degrees of positions on certain things like abortion where some have conditional, pro-life, some have absolute pro-life, the liberal camp seems to present much more united front because they will spread their arms out and welcome just about everything. how do we effectively combat that and effectively lead when there are so many degrees of positions? >> excellent question. as a movement, we have to come together and decide too -- what is important. i will give you a perfect example. ronald reagan. he was very pro-life, solid pro-life. i have a girlfriend in college, from high school, i had been working with him 45 years before he became president, i've was with him in '76, why are you with that old guy? the old orange hair from hollywood? going down a dead head road? couple years later arms in the office of the treasury of the united states, i ran into her and she said i was wrong. we had a kind of -- joked about it and who did you vote for?

emily will find that the system will, in fact, that these people in a better position house why this and ultimately into the right incentives are there for the individual meeting competitive market where premiums go down because you're healthier that is the incentive and the the individuals in this country make. >> senator sanders will. >> will begin by picking up on a point as an observer raise and i entering 60 million americans have no medical home. and the evidence is quite clear that we are losing thousands of people, i talk to positions in vermont and 20,000 americans die every single year because by the time to get to the doctor there too ill to be treated successfully and one of the things we're doing in this bill and i want to thank the chairman is we're going to expand community health centers to every underserved area so that every american will have the medical home and put more money into the national health service and do what the primary health-care crisis and to the dentist in need to provide the care needed. but i wanted to touch on another issue. talk about the cost

not only how to get well the financial consequences of paying off huge bills and an emily and families that leads to bankruptcy and the destruction of families. but it's not only a personal crisis. our health care situation is obviously an makarov economic crisis. general motors -- and we all know what is happening to general motors -- spends more on health care per automobile than on steel. more on health care than on steel. one of the reasons, one of the reasons they are where they are today with other manufacturers. small-business owners in vermont and across the country are forced to divert hard-earned profits into health coverage for their employes he's rather than a new business investment. and because rising costs it is no secret many businesses small, medium are unable to provide any health insurance for their workers. the fact of the matter is we as a nation today are spending almost twice as much per person on health care than any other country. according to the oecd and 2006, the united states spends $6,700 on health care. canada spent 3600, france spent 3400, about half of
