this is a big deal to people in connecticut and, mr. president, in hawaii and to states all across our land because there was so much economic hurt that had already piled up for months and years that people just had no wiggle room when the tea party decided to stick a knife into the backs of already-hurting families. that's why this makes no sense. because it's not like we had the cushion as an economy, it's not like families had the ability to take on a little extra hurt. when the tea party decided to shut down our government. not that it would make sense even if we were living in heady economic times, but today, right now, for families that are getting killed by an economy that has recovered for the top 5% or 10% of america but certainly has not recovered for the bottom 80%, this is just no time to be playing around with people's lives. every single year, mr. president, at the start of the home heating season i go to a nonprofit in waterbury, connecticut, who dispenses home heating assistance to the thousands of families in the greate

which are in connecticut. they have about 43 employees from the federal government that inspect the helicopters as they go down the assembly line, but because those helicopter assembly lines making blackhawk helicopters for the u.s. military, they move pretty fast, if they don't have those inspectors for a handful of days, they can't continue to move the assembly line. so on friday, 1,500 workers were furloughed from sikorski aircraft, let go until those inspectors are back on the job. 43 inspectors equal 1,500 private sector layoffs. you know what? when you get laid off from a job, sometimes if you can see it coming, you can try and make arrangements. if you're on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis where everything that comes in goes right back out again to pay your food bills, mortgage bills, your student loans, whatever it may be. if you can see the layoff coming, you might be able to scramble to try to find a part-time job or save a little madam speaker for the final few months of your employment. but when you g

i was attorney general of connecticut for 20 years. we made a regular practice of going after crammers were fraudsters and scammers. most often, the telephone company cooperated. often, pursuing these fraudsters after the fact provides inadequate remedies. they need to be stopped before the charges are made. seek refunds, can but very often they disappear and the telephone company a be unwilling or unable to find them or to make refunds. not only forides refunds, but penalties on the if it permitsany these unauthorized third-party charges. >> are legitimate companies participating in so-called cramming? >> not an cramming, because cramming by definition is unauthorized. there are legitimate third-party vendors and third-party charges. his orbody wants to use her telephone line as a credit card, you might as well actually get a credit card. that's a much more secure way of charging. that's why this kind of measure is necessary to prevent a practice that is so fraught with danger and peril to the consumer , and so on scrutinized and litt

connecticut is one of them. maryland, kentucky, washington state. the administration might well look at the way access health connecticut is doing its job through its -- and half of those enrollments are from people that don't need subsidies indicating that they were very likely denied insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions and now they have that insurance, and i'm talking to people throughout the state of connecticut who are not only satisfied. they're very happy that the premiums are lower and they're going for preventive care and cancer detection that will save this as well as connecticut millions and millions of dollars. so i think that you've asked the key question. what can the administration learn learn by look at connecticut and improving their system. >> you make a good point that the states have done very well with this rollout in contrast to what has happened with the federal government. so given what is going on and the purpose of this hearing or at least the stated purpose of the hearing. did you agree with other democrat

prior to that he was attorney general and the state of connecticut. did you get complaints about this when you were attorney general? >> guest: very much so. and this has been around since the 1990s. i was attorney general of connecticut for 20 years and we made a regular practice of going after crammers who were fraudsters and scammers and most often the telephone company cooperated that often pursuing these fraudsters after-the-fact provides inadequate remedies. they need to be stopped before they charges are made because afterward we can seek refunds that often they disappear in the telephone company may be unwilling or unable to find them or to make refunds. so the bill very importantly provides not only a refund but also penalties on the telephone company if it permits these unauthorized third-party charges. >> host: so senator blumenthal are legitimate companies participating in the so-called cramming? >> guest: not in cramming acus cramming by its definition is an unauthorized or unpermitted call. there are legitimate third-party vendors and th
