murray: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, before i go any further, i want to make something absolutely clear. this health care fight is anything but over. trumpcare is not dead, not even close, and we cannot let up. now it's no surprise that senate republicans needed another week to try to jam their trumpcare bill through given everything it would mean for families' health, their financial security, and their lives. so while we don't know what kinds of back room deals senate republican leaders will cut or which republicans will decide they care more about towing the party line than protecting the patients and families in their states, but here is what we do know: the majority leader is not going to give up. he wants to get to yes, and so does president trump. so the back room deals and arm twisting are going to go into overdrive starting now. that's why my message to every patient and family, every mom and dad, adult caregiver, doctor, nurse, teacher, anyone who believes trumpcare would be devastating for their com

mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. i want to take a few minutes this afternoon to talk about trumpcare, specifically what families back in my home state of washington are saying about the harm this bill will do and why, despite how often republicans say they are struggling to find a way to jam trumpcare through this senate, now is the time to keep the pressure on. i've had to say this far too o, but right now people across the country are scared and they have a right to be. the policies in trumpcare would turn our health care system into a minefield of higher costs and worse care for our families. if you're a young person who needs mental health, you could pay more. if you're a senior, your premiums could increase by as much as 850%. if you need maternity care, independent analysis by the congressional budget office shows you could pay as much as $1,000 a month -- $1,000 more a month. under trumpcare 23 million people across the country would lose coverage. because insurance companies would have far more power to lower

senator murray. mr. murphy: thank you very much. and -- senator murray: thank you very much. mr. secretary, you said a lot about apprenticeship programs. many on this committee support them but i am concerned that the president's executive order serves as a distraction from what is happening in this budget where there's a huge slash in the investments like work force training, public health and jearks. these are issues that have been bipartisanly supported, these investments on this committee. in fact, chairman blunt and i have been able to fund nvestments in registered apprenticeships that have put thousands of workers on a proven path to the middle class and help address employer needs for skilled workers. the president's proposal intends to circumvent a proven program with wages, training and equal employment standards and those standards not only protect workers, by the way, they ensure employers get highly skilled workers. by comparison, the president's proposal could open the door to any company, including predatory fake colleges like trump university to develop low-quality

senator murray. >> thank you, mr. chairman. after weeks of secret negotiations, between 13 and republicans after keeping democrats in the dark in hiding details from patients and families, all the while claiming the senate version of trump care would somehow be better, today's cbo report makes it clearer than ever just how mean that trump care is and why. the bottom line is trump care is a minefield of higher health care costs for patients and families and a massive giveaway to special interests in the health care industry. depending on what state you live in if you're a senior, trump care will spike your premiums. if you need maternity care, you could pay as much as a thousand dollars more per month on top of the rest of your coverage. if you need mental health care, care for substance use disorder or prescription drugs, you can see your costs go up to thousands of dollars a year. that means despite what so many republican colleagues claim, i want to be very clear that trump care guts protection for people with preexisting con

let's go to our sarah murray. the president lawyer says some of comey's most serious allegations simply never happened. >> that's right. and it was an interesting response because on one hand we saw the president's personal attorney latch on to comey saying that president trump was not under investigation and say see, president trump is vindicated but on the other hand, we saw the president's attorney trying to discredit james comey's testimony insisting that president trump never asked for comey's loyalty and that he never asked james comey to dismiss this investigation into ousted national security advisor michael flynn. >> the president never in form or substance directed or suggested that mr. comey stop investigating any one, including the president never suggested that mr. comey quote, let flynn go. the president also never told mr. comey, quote, i need loyalty. i expect loyalty, close quote. he never said it in form and he never said it in substance. of course, the office of the president is entitled to expe

investigation of general flynn and i would expect at some point, not right away, but at some point mr. mueller would feel he has to depose the president. >> so that's significant. we'll get into that. senator reed was there yesterday and was able to question director comey. sara murray is at the white house ahead of this big news conference with the president and the president of romania. it's a two and two. what do we expect to hear from president trump? >> reporter: i think it will be interesting to hear the president's tone today. yesterday he was pretty reserved. he did not tweet until this morning which is restrained for this president. he lashed out and called james comey a liar. i think we want to look for which version of president trump do we get today. does he lash out in front of the cameras? does he say, flat out, he believes comey lied or does he focus on the leaking and insist that comey is a leaker and try to go that route. but the other interesting thing is if the white house believes, if his lawyer believes that comey was lying, is there a recorded system in the white

murray: it would have a direct impact, cuts would make it hard for them to continue that? mr. lowy: certainly. sen. cochran: let me join you in congratulating the panel. dr. collins, how is the nih working to ensure minorities are represented in alzheimer's research activities? dr. collins: we are very interested in making sure the resources congress gives us are utilized in an optimal way. that is a research across all of the fields represented people at this table. he specifically asked about -- you specifically asked about alzheimer's, i'm going to let dr. hodes address that. dr. hodes: thank you very much for the question. in fact, in our efforts in all summers research, prominent among them is attention to disparities. all americans have rights to the fruits of research, but also understanding alzheimer's comes by understanding how it affects individuals of different racial and ethnic grounds. even the genetic factors for across groups. included these groups, we have active recruitment efforts, we also have collaboration with some existing resources. for example, some of
