and just this past friday, the republican governor of alaska, alaska, announced that his state would not be expanding health reform to include more people. this is a present, live, urgent fight state to state to stop health reform from reaching more people. we talk about this, especially in the beltway press, as something that is a national issue just affecting president obama, but you want to know what? whether or not it works and whatever the political consequences are of it working or not, that gets decided in the states. this is a live issue right now. and once more people get it, right, the forces for and against it agree, those people are going to want to keep it. once people get health insurance, they do not want to lose it. if you've never had it before and you get health insurance, you're going to want to keep it. so, this has big political consequences as well as life and death consequences for literally millions of americans. on their public website, that florida think tank has been touting the early troubles of signing up for obama care. look. "the obama care exchanges ar

premiera is the largest health insurer in alaska. this represents about 60% of the folks that premiera ensures within the state in terms of its individual members. so when you think about these folks that have now received their letters this weekend, recognize that the policies that they have had for a period of time are not going to be available to them, they read in the news and they see on the evening news that the ability to get online and to better understand what's going on with the exchange is not available to them because the exchanges are down while they're working on them here in washington, d.c., or wherever they're working on them, and that the entities, the navigators, the enroll alaska, those that have been put out there to help them navigate this process, are effectively saying we can't enroll you right now, and we won't until there is greater assurance that the system is up and running and working, and the administrator has confirmed to us today that, well, we're working on it. but in the meantime we still have these

northwest alaska. and understood some of the critical things that were important to that region, that native corporation. indigenous businesses like reindeer horn or jade mining. oil and gas activities and supporting activities on the north slope. mining through the red dog mine, and how shareholder employment was so important. along with maintaining cultural identity. as a banker, sometimes behind the scenes reviewed many loan applications from the indian tribe. doing expanding their tourism resources in-house boat business on lake roosevelt. later as i had children had an opportunity rent from them and have one of my best family vacations. also the tribe where we supported in theback that i worked for, a loan for a heritage center back in the early '90s. i appreciate how important economic development is, but also how different tribes are from one another. so you have blessed me in so many ways in my now seven months and one day in this job. my first week of the job -- came in and not only met with m

i mentioned already, madam president, that alaska faces th. second highest premiums in the country.thou we are high for a lot of thingst our energy cost is some of theht highest in the nation to address the titian cost to some of thegt highest in the nation a, food cs costs are some of the highest of the nation, health care cost,ng and now our premiums are going to be some of the highest in the nation. but we recognize that to live in alaska you -- it is expensive,ge so when you look at the average wages have an alaskan, they areo of little bit higher than youood might see in other parts of theu country.your that will help me pay for your transportation, fuel, food. but when we are talking about any level of a subsidy, this is a concern that we are seeing around the state, higher income levels will kick you out ofelig being eligible for any level of subsidy. so we have come out alaskans that are trying to be diligentd about their health care and the insurance, wanting to be able tt provide for their family in a trying to figure out or do i go.

are seriously impacting alaska native villages. the army corps of engineers has identified over 30 alaska native villages as being at imminent risk from rising sea levels and flooding and in fact we also know by observation and bite addiction that in fact global warming becomes especially severe in the higher latitudes like the arctic. one example a town is being relocated. the town of galena suffered a massive flood and d.o.e. office of energy and our national renewable energy laboratory are supporting fema in the town of galena in recovery efforts from this disaster. so climate change then impacts of course energy products -- projects in indian country as well. for example decreased river flows have serious impacts on the tribes who depend on hydro. droughts rising temperatures pose a threat to coal-fired plants in now the whole nation or reservations like the apache the yout and affiliated tribes are endangered because of the need for water availability. so we all have an interest and responsibility to act together to meet this

we have a tremendous national treasure in alaska. produces fish, wildlife, open spaces, salmon, all kinds of riches of renewable resources of all kinds. we should not be throwing away the protection that is we have put in place for those because a bunch of oil companies -- the chair: the gentleman is recognized for an additional minute. mr. dungle: i thank my dear friend and again express my thanks. i wish -- we should not throw away those protections. nor should we open those lands up to being blasted, drilled, and pitched, and dug without wise protection. after all good conservation is wise conservation, and wise use of the resources. we are going to find, as times pass, that the predictions of our energy department and the department of interior, that this oil is not present in -- and in the arctic game range is not there in the amounts that we would like. and there's no real reason for increasing that oil production, especially by permits that will not really yield any additional production of oil to this nation. i would urge my

an energy efficiency upgrades to reduce energy use by 40% in alaska. and there will be nine tribes that will have these energy efficiency and renewable projects. now that addresses this question of mitigation -- reducing carbon pollution. as i said the second pillar is recognizing that unfortunately we are seeing the impacts of climate change, as i said in amplifying storms, droughts, floods, and the like. that's the second pillar of the president's action plan, and here i want to start out by thanking karen diver of the lake superior for representing triable officials on the state and local and triable leaders task force on climate preparedness and resilience. prepare for the impact of climate change means adapting our infrastructure to increase resiliency. for example, making sure the electric grid can recover rapidly from stronger and more frequent storms. that's what we saw, for example, in sandy. maintaining and upgrading infrastructure on triable lands would be an important part of making america infrastructure resilient to these new challenges t

alaska's constitution includes privacy clause. very, very progressive. the most progressive constitution you can have in the country, we have. we were a blue state. it wasn't the ice age, the last time we were blue. it wasn't that long ago. and when oil came in, the conservatives came in, the evangelicals came in and it shifted the political sway there. i believe that alaska will be a progressive state again. i do. if i didn't, i couldn't live there. i think our values, you know, our progressive values match that of alaskans, but at the same time, we'll just -- we keep making some progress, but just like every other state, there is gerry mandering, all the other issues. >> these tend to be the rural voters. it is the primal scream. they're mad and they're not going to take it anymore. the 21st century version of the survivalist movement. they're hunkering down and they're voting to secede. they're not going to get anywhere because it would have to go through the state legislature and the governor, which might happen in some places but then have to be oka

first off, it could brick about 19,000 -- bring about 19,000 visitors to alaska. the fees alone that the can customs and border patrol would get would be about $144,000. the cost to do the service is about $120 to ,000. -- $120,000. so in other words, they'd make money on this opportunity, excluding all the other revenue streams that might come to the federal government through other types of expenditures, those almost 20,000 visitors. so they denied it based on inefficient use of the resource. first off, they don't have resources. that's why if this was in place, they would have $140,000 plus to actually purchase those resources, and homeland security would make -- i will carefully use this word -- about a 20% profit on it. so it seems if this was a business, it'd make a lot of sense. so i hope, you know, their idea was, well, why don't they just rejigger the flights, do them from anchorage to dawson which makes no sense because part of the trip is to go to dali park. it would add 400-plus air miles and cost to the traveler. it's almost like i know it's a big iss
