We talked about what it means that one-fifth of the next Congress’ U.S. Senators will be women. The full interview will air on January 3, but you can watch the preview below.Mary Landrieu shared a link.
In today’s Advocate, I urged Gov. Jindal to reconsider his opposition to establishing a state-run health insurance exchange in Louisiana. If he does not act by Friday, he will cede control over Louisiana’s health exchange to the federal government, which could result in one-size-fits-all reforms not tailored to the state’s specific needs.Mary Landrieu shared a link.
It’s always great to visit Lafayette and the Acadiana region. I was able to chat with KATC while in town this weekend about health care in Louisiana and the ongoing Sandy recovery.- Met with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie this afternoon to hear from him on his state’s recovery after Hurricane Sandy and what he needs from Congress to finish the job .
- Heard from HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, among others, this morning at my hearing to assess the federal response to Hurricane Sandy. For better or worse, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita taught us that a robust recovery requires a coordinated response from local, state and federal governments.
