I am Rachel Gotbaum. In a perspective article in the January 4th issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, John K. Iglehart explores the health care agenda likely to be taken up by the new democratic controlled congress. I am speaking with representive of Jim Cooper of Tennessee. He is a member of the Blue Dog Democrats whose priority is balancing the budget.
First of all, what is the Blue Dog Democrat?
It's a democrat who is pretty conservative special on fiscal issues. We get the word "blue" because we've been strangled to death by both parties, both regular liberal democrats and by republicans because we tend to vote in the middle. We tend to vote with whichever policy we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue on health care for you blue dogs and for the democrats?
All the issues really revolve around money because Medicare alone is about 30 trillion dollars on the whole. That's trillion with TR. We have slender a majority other democrats do and we have a republic president. So it sounds likely there aren't gonna be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next two-year period. But we still wanna try, democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans. And there are a lot of needs. They have with 46 million Americans uninsured. Increasingly that's a middle-class problem, not just a problem of the poor.
I'm wondering for the blue dogs. Where do you think your biggest challenge will be in terms of the healthcare votes and agenda?
We're facing a lot of clean-up problems for example, what does Medicare pay physicians? It's a formula put in law on 1997 which every year tries to cut doctors about 5 percent. For the last 4 or 5 years, doctors have faced that cut and the last minute the congress stepped forward and find the money to protect doctors. I think we will continue to do that under democratic majorities. Cause doctors are very sympathetic population. Patients loathe their own doctor. And these cuts are unrealistic. They were put into the law in 1997 and really have very little to do with reality. So I think we are gonna see congress finding the 4 or 5 billion dollars that takes every year to hold physicians harmless from those cuts. The real fix for physicians would cost, believe it or not, five trillion dollars. It's the way the calculate is. So that's a lot of money to come up with. We've got to find somewhere because most of whom I talk to do not want physicians' pay cut. They might not want to increase somehow a lot, but they do not want it cut.
So are you saying that's where you are gonna have one of the bigger fights?
Yes, because the core of Blue Dog philosophy is pay-as-you-go (pay as you go). And that's a kitchen table principle. It's found OK new spending. But in order to pay for that, you have to find spending cuts somewhere else. Or as in my opinion, it's the last resort a tax increase. So we'll afford new programmes, but we want to go back to other programmes in government and find the money. Not just borrow the money from our lenders because increasingly our lenders are countries like China which are funding our current lifestyle. We borrow almost 2 billion dollars a day from countries like China. And most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you were saying that it's gonna be tough for Democrats to enact any legislation on health care, any significant legislation. Why is that? If they do have a chance to enact something, what would it be?

I am Rachel Gotbaum.In a perspective article in January fourth issue of the New England journal of medicine John Igohard exposed the health care agenda likely to be taken up by the new democratic control of congress.
I am speaking with representative Jim Cooper of Tennessee. He's a memeber of the blue dog decmocrats whose priority is balancinng the budget.
First of all what is a blue dog democrat?
It's a democrat who's pretty concerned with especially on physical issues
We get the word "blue" because we've been strangled to death by both parties both regular local democrats and by republicans cause we tend to vote in the middle.We tend to vote with each policy that we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue in health care for you blue dogs and for the democrats?
All the issues really revolved for money because medical care alone is about thirty trillion dollar in the whole. That's trillion with the Tiya? We have a slimder a majority what the democrats do and we have republic and president so it's unlikely there's going to be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next two year period, but we still want to try democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans.
And there are a lot of needs they have for 46 million Americans and their children increasingly that's a middle-class problem not just problem with the board.
Wondering for the blue dogs, where do you think your biggest challenges will be in terms of the health care votes and agenda ?
We're faced with a lot of cleanup problems ,for example ,
what is medical care paid decisions is a formula putting on in 1997 which every year tries to cut our about five percent.For the last four years doctors have faced that cut and the last minute congress stepped forward and found the money to protect the doctors. I think we will continue to do that and the democratic majorities as doctors are very sympathetic population.
Patients roan a lot on doctors.And these cuts are unrealistic. They were putting on in 1997 and really have very little to do with realities so I think we are going to see congress finding for five billion dollars and tax every year to hold physicians harmless from most cuts.The real fix for phsician would cost, believe or not, five trillion dollars a way it's calculated so that's a lot of money to come up with.We've got to find it somewhere cause most ? I talk to do not want physicians to pay cut. They might not want increase on the whole? but they do not want a cut.
So are you saying that's what you are going to have one of the bigger fights?
Yes, because the core blue dog for us is" pay and you go"and that is a kitchen table principle It's found ok new spending but in order to pay for that have to find spending cuts somewhere else,or in my opinion as a last resouce a tax increase. So we afford new programs but we want to go back to other promgrams in government and find the money, not just borrow the money from our lenders causing increasingly our lenders or countries like China which are funding Africa lifestyle. We borrowed almost two billion dollars a day from coutries like China and most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you are saying that it's going to be tough for democrats to elect any legislation on health care ,any significant legislation like why is that if they do have a chance to elect something what would it be ?
这次比上次感觉更难,可能是非医学相关吧
Female: I’m Rachel Gotbaum in the perspective article in January 4th issue of New England Journal of Medicine, John Iglehart explored the healthcare agenda likely to be taken up by the new Democrat controlled Congress. I’m speaking with the representative Jim Copper at Tennessee. He is a member of the Blue Dog Democrats whose priority is balancing the budget. First of all, what is the Blue Dog Democrat ?
Male: it’s a democrat who is pretty conserved of special on physical issues. We get the work blue because of we being strangled to death by both parties about this regular labor democrats and by Republicans because we tend the vote in the middle. We tend the vote was whichever policy we think is right.
Female: So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue of healthcare for you blue dogs and for the democrats?
Male: all the issues really revolve around money because Medicare alone is about $30,000,000,000 on the whole. That’s trillions with the TR, we have slender a majority all the democrats do, we have Republic president. So it turn likely there gonna be any major agenda items, there will be applecate down in the next two year period. But we so wanna try democrats typically represent more middle class people average working Americans, and there are a lot of needs they have what 46,000,000 Americans uninsured. Increasingly, that’s a middle class problem not just problem with the poor.
Female: I wondering for the blue dogs, where do you think your biggest challenges will be in term of the healthcare votes and the agenda?
Male : we’ll face a lot of clean-up problems, for example, what dose the Medicare pay physicians? There is a formula put them all in 1997 which every year tries doctors about 5%, for the last 4 or 5 years, doctors face that card and the last minute conversance that forward and found the money to protect doctors, I think we’ll continue to do that under democrat majorities, ‘cause doctors are very simplified population. Patients___on doctor, and this cuts a unrealistic they were putting along 1997 and really have little to do with the reality. So I think I can go to the congress, founding 4 or 5 billion dollars take every year to hold physicians harmless from those cuts. The real fakes for physicians would caught believe or not 5 trillion dollars the way as calculated, so as a lot of money to come up with, we got find somewhere because most I talk to do not want physicians pay cut. They might not want increase somehow lot, but they do not want it cut.
Female: so are(do) you think that’s where you’re gonna have one of the bigger fights?
Male: yes, ‘cause of the quarrel blue dogs philosophy is ‘pay-as-you-go’ and that kitchen table principle is found ok new spending, but in order to pay for that, you have to find spending cards somewhere else. Or as my opinion as last, there was a tax increase. So we are for new programs, but we want to go back to other programs in government and found money, not just borrow the money from our lenders ‘cause increasingly our lenders are countries like China which founding style. We borrow almost $2,000,000 a day from countries like China, and most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
Female: so you’re think it’s going to be tough for democrats to enact any legislation on healthcare anything significant legislation why is that if they do have a chance to enact something what would it be?

Srinath Reddy He is president of public health foundation of India, he is really of perspective of proposal polppill for the prevention of cardiovascular disease which appear Jan 18 issue of NEMJ in the section of Chronic disease in the developing world, So Dr ,according to the data from WHO cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause death in the low income and lower middle income in country, Why did you begin notice cardviovascular survey and other chronic disease( ) increasing in India?
The reasons of trans from Chronic disease become quiet clear in the early 90’s. We do find evidence from previously survey conduct between 60-90’s that cardiovascular disease were vicing,but (vice ) developing slow rate,but 90’s,the survey showed that cardiovascular heart disease and hypertension were becoming much more prevalence especially in the urban areas,with almost 3-4 (for address) as compare to prevalence of early 60’6, and the even rural areas, there are too for rise.
And what do you think is happening here?
Well, in India there has been a lots of changes there taken place of last 30 years. Firstly, there is increasing life expectancy,because there is much better control of infection diseases and people are living an old period of life.Also we find industrialization,urbanization,globalnization,growing uo a profounding ( ) of people are living. We think increasing intake unhealthy foods,increases of dislike food of vegetable,much of less physical activity,and increases stress definitely high level consumption through the country. Because all these we find cardiovascular diseases are becoming much more up and ( ) than did the past.
And other critical risks as well?
Other critical disease are those, for example,diabetes.India’s particularly major problemis India’s diabetes (capitalist) of the world,the urban prevalence of diabetes is now vary between 18% to severe cities,in some cities is reported in high 20%,so we are have several lots chronic disease also arise fairly widespread in data with cardiovascular diseasea.
Why do you think the such huge epidemic data in India?
India have particularly prepare to diabetes and is been manifest not only in urban areas. India’s study abroad.particularly because India seem to have increasing percentage of bodyfat,so that (()))put a slip amout of rate. Even they (((())))),they tend to increase this risks of diabetes,also did the great contribution of this flat in the urban man and that has particuly high level for developing diabetes. That is also that could be programmed daring pregency, because both nutrition to the charge of pregnancy, the child response amall, and to receive less nutrition but later on the level of nutrition increase,there is mismatch and the child could be diabetes as well as cardiovascular in later life,and there is some evidence support this ( )score from sever Indian study in support this ( ) which published in NEMJ a few years ago.

Rachel: I am Rachel. In a perspective article in the Jan.4th issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, John explores the healthcare agenda likely to be taken up by the new democratic controlled congress. I am speaking with representatives Jim Cooper. He is a member of the blue dog democrats whose priority is balancing the budget. Fist of all, what is the Blue Dog Democrats ?

We get the word blue because we have been triangled to death by both parties, both regular local democrats and by republicans, because we tend to vote in the middle.

Rachel: So what you expect to be the most challenging issue in healthcare for you blue dog and for the democrats.
Jim: All the issues really revolve around money because Medicare alone is about 30 trillion dollars in a whole. That’s trillion with the “TR”. We have a slender of majority as the democrats do and we have a republican president. So, it turns unlikely there is going to be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next 2 years period. But we still want a try. Democrats typically represent more middle class people, average working Americans and there are a lot of needs that we have 46 million American on charity. Increasingly that is a middle class problem not just a problem of the poor.
Rachel: I am wondering for the blue dogs where do you think your biggest challenge will be in terms of healthcare votes of the agenda?
Jim: We are faced with a lot of clear up problems for example what is the Medicare pay for physicians. There was a formula put into law in 1997 which every year tries to cut doctors about 5%. For the last 4,5 years, doctors have faced that cut and in the last minute the congress stepped forward and funded the money to protect the doctors. I think we will continue to do that under democratic majorities. Because doctors are very sympathetic population. Patients love their own doctors and these cuts are unrealistic. They were put into law in 1997 and really we have little to do with reality. So I think we are going to see congress funding the 4, 5 billion dollars that takes every year to hold physicians harmless from that cut. The real fix for physicians would cost, believe it or not, 5 trillion dollars in a way it is calculated. So there is a lot of money to come up with. We have got to find somewhere because most people I talked do not want physicians’ pay cut. They may not want to increase their pay a lot. But they do not want it cut.
Rachel: Sorry you were saying that’s where you were going to have one of the big fights?
Jim: Yes, because the code of blue dog’s philosophy is pay as you go. And that is a kitchen table principle. It is fine and ok of spending but in order to pay for that you have to find spending cut somewhere else. Or, in my opinion the last resort is tax increase. So we are for a new program that we want to go back to other programs in government and fund the money not just to borrow the money from our lenders because increasingly our lenders are countries like China which are funding our current lifestyle. We borrow almost 2 billion dollars a day from countries like China. The most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign source like that.

He's a member of the Blue Dog Democrats, whose priority is balancing the budget. First of all, what is a Blue Dog Democrat?
It's a democrat, is pretty conservative, especial on physical issues. We get the word "Blue" because we've been strangled to death by both parties, both regular local Democrats and by Republicans because we turn the vote in the middle. We tend to vote was whichever policy we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue of health care for you Blue Dogs and for the Democrats?
Our issues is really revolved around money becasue medical care alone is about 30 trillion dollars as a whole. That's trillion with TER. We have sent a majority on the Democrats ? and we have Republican president, so we tend likely there is gonna be any major agenda items. There will be able to get done in the next two-year period. But we still wanna try Democrats typically represent more middle class people average working in Americans. And there are a lot of ? they have worth 46 million in America and ? increasingly that's a middle-class problem, not just the problem of the poor.
wandering for the Blue Dog, where do you think your biggest challenges will be in terms of the health care of vote and agenda.
we faced with a lot of clinic problems, for example, what did medical pay physicians. It's a formula put into law in 1997 which every year tries to cut doctors about 5%. For the last four of five years, the doctors have faced that cut and the last minute congress stepped forward and found money to protect the doctors. I think we will continue to do that under Democratic majorities because doctors are very ? populations. Patients love their own doctor and this cut is unrealistic.

The real fingers for physicians would cost, believe it or not, five trillion dollars with calculated ? as a lot of money to come up with we got to find somewhere . ?? do not want physicians pay cut.They ? but they do not want a cut.
So are you saying that will you're gonna have one of the big fight?
Yes, because the call of Blue Dog for us fees is pay as you go and that's a kitchen table presentable is found okey new spending but in order to pay for that, you'll have to find spending cuts some or else. Or as in my opinion, as a last of a tax increase. So we're for a new programs but we want to go back to other programs and government and find the money, not just borrow the money from our lenders because increase in our lenders are countries like China, which are our finding our correct life style. We borrow almost two billion dollars a day from countries like China and most of Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you're saying that it's gonna be tough for Democrats to ? any legislation on health care ? like social why is that if they do have a chance to ? something
I'm Richel Gotbaum. In a perspective article in January 4th issue of NEJM, Joan Igle Hard explores the health care agenda, likely to be taken up by the new democratic control of congress. I'm speaking with representative Jame Cooper of Tannace. He's a member of the bluedog democrats whose priority is bound in the budget.
First of all, what is a bluedog democrat?
It's a democrat that's pretty conservative special on fiscal issues. We get the word blue because we've been strangled to death by both parties, both regular Nobel democrats and by republicans because we tend to vote the little, we tend to vote whichever policy we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue in healthcare for you bluedogs and for the democrats?
All the issues really revolve around money because medicare alone is about 30 trillion $ and whole that's trillion with TR. We have slimed the majority and other democrats too. We have republicant president. So it tends likely to can it be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next two year period. We still on the try, democrats, typically represent more middle class people average working in the Americans, and there are a lot of nase they have worked 46 million in the Americans on the churd, increasingly that's a middle class problem, not just problem on the broad.
I'm wondering for the bluedogs, will do you think your bigest challenges will be in terms of the healthcare vote and agenda?
We are faced with a lot of cleaner problems, for example what is medicare pay physicans. It's a formula put in law 1997 which every year tries to cut doctors about 5%. For the last 4-5 years doctors have faced that cut and the last minute congress' step forward and found the money to protect doctors. I think we'll continue to do that under democratic majorities because doctors are very sympathetic population. Patients love their own doctor. And these cut are unrealistic. They were put in law in1997 and really have little to do with realities, I think you can see congress finding the 4-5 billion $ that takes every year to hold physicians harmonys from those cut. The real fees for a physicians would cost, believe it or not, 5 trillion $. The way is calculated. So that's a lot of money to come up with. We got find that's somewhere cause most mosaic talk do not want physican's pay cut. I'm not wanna increase the whole loan, but they do not wanna it cut.
So are you saying that's will your organ have one of the bigest fight?
Yes, because the call bluedog philosophy is pay as you go, and that's the kinchin table principle. It's found ok new spending, but in order to pay for that you have to found spending cut somewhere else, or a mapping as last toward tax increase. So we are for our new programmes, but we want to go back other programmes and government and found the money. Not just borrow the money from our lenders cause increasingly our lenders are countries like China which are a founding aric lifestyle. We borrow almost 2 billion $ a day from countries like China. And most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you are saying that it's going to be tough for democrats to a lacked any legislation on healthcare, any significant legislation? Why is that, and if they do have chance to a lack something?

We have a republican president. So it turns likely there are gonna be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next two-year period. We still want to try. Democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans. Then there is a lot needs. We have 46 million Americans uninsured. Increasingly that's a middle-class problem, not just a problem of the poor.
Wondering for the blue dogs, where do you think your biggest challenges would be in terms of the health care votes and agenda? We're facing a lot of clean-up problems for example, what does medic care pay physicians? There's a formula put in the law 1997 which every year try to cut doctors about 5 percent. For the last 4 or 5 years, doctors have to face up that cut and the last minute the congress step forward and find the money to protect doctors. I think we will continue to do that under democrat majorities. Cause doctors are very sympathetic population. Patients loathe their own doctor. And this cut's unrealistic. They were put in the law in 1997 and really have very little to do with reality. I think we are gonna see congress finding the 4 or 5 billion dollars that takes every year to hold physicians harmless from those cuts. The real fix for physicians would cost, believe it or not, five trillion dollars. It's the way the calculate is. That's a lot of money to come up with. We've got to found somewhere cause most of whom I talk to do not want physicians' pay cut. They might not want to increase somehow a lot, but they do not want it cut.
So are you saying that's where you are gonna have one of the biggest fights?
Yes, cause the core of blue dog philosophy is pay-as-you-go. That's a kitchen-table principle. It's found OK new spending. But in order to pay for that, you have to find spending cuts somewhere else. Or in my opinion it's the last resort a tax increase. So we'll form new programmes, but we want to go back other programmes in government and find the money. Not just borrow the money from our lenders. Increasingly our lender countries like China which are funding our current lifestyle. We borrow almost 2 billion dollars a day from the countries like China. Most Americans are not aware of our dependence on farm sources like that.
So you were saying that it's gonna be tough for democrats to enact any legistration on health care any significant legistration? Why is that? If they do have a chance to enact something, what would it be?
I’m Rachel Gotbaum, in a prospective article in journal forth issue of the NEJM. John Agerl Heart explores the health care agenda like to be taken up by the new Democratic control Congress. I’m speaking with Representative, Jim Cooper, of Tennessee. He is a member of Blue Dog Democrats, whose priority is bouncing the budget. First of all, what is Blue Dog Democrats?
It’s a Democrat whose pretty conceived special on physical issues. We get the word blue because we’ve been strangle the death by both party about regular label democrats and by republican because of we tend to vote in the middle. We tend to vote with whichever policy we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue in health care for you blue dogs and for the democrats？
Other issues really revolve around money because Medicare alone is about thirty trillion dollars and whole. Next trillion was TR. We have sent a majority democrats do and we have republic president. So it sounds likely there is going to be any major agenda items. There will be in the next two years period. We so on a try democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans. And there are a lot of needs they have and was forty-six million American uninsured. Increasingly that is a middle class problem, not just the problem of the poor.
I wondering for the blue dogs why do you think your biggest challenge would be in terms of the health care votes and agenda?
We face a lot of cleaner problem for example, what dose Medicare pay physicians. It is a formula put it in law on 1997, which every year try to cut doctor about five percents. For the last four five years doctor had faced that cut and the last minute come step up forward and found the money to protect the doctors. I think we will continue to do that under democratic majorities. Because the doctors are sympathetic populations. Patients love their doctors. This cuter unrealised. They were put into the law in 1997. And really have very little to do with reality. So I think it can see the Congress, finding the 45 billion dollars and takes every year to hold physician harmless from these cut. The real fix for a physician would cost 5 trillion dollars the way is calculated. It is al lot of money to come up with. We got find somewhere cause. Most of I talk to don’t want physicians pay cut. If I’m not want increasing some hear a lot, but they do not want it cut.
So are you seeing that will you can have one big fights？
Yes, because the core of blue dog philosophy is paid that you go and that’s the kitchen table principle. It’s found ok new spending but in order pay for that you have to find spending cut somewhere else. Or as a marplan at last without attack increase. So we are forward new programs but we want to go back to other program in government and find money. Not just bought the money from our lenders, because increasingly our lenders are countries like China which our findings are courly style. We bought almost two billion dollars a day from countries like China. And most American are not aware our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you think that it going to be tough for democratic to connect to any legislation on healthcare, any signification legislation why is that and if do have chance to act something what would it would be?
I am Atrol Godbacd,in a perspective article in general force issue of New England journal of medicine ,John K. Iglehart explores health care likely to be taken up by the new democrats control congress. I am speaking with representative Jim Cooper ,he is a member of Blue Dog Democrats whose priority is bauzing the project .First of all what is Blue Dog Democrats ?
It is a democrat with pretty conservative special official issues. We get the word blue because we have been strangle the death by both parties both regular local democrats and by republicans because we tended involved in a middle, we tended involved with whichever we think it is right.
So what are you expect the most challenging issue and health care for you blue dogs and for the democrats.
All issues really revolve a money because med care alone about 30 trillion dollars as whole that is trillion with TR . We have slender a majority other democrats do and we have republic president. So it is unlikely there are going to be any major agenda items there would be get done in the next two year period ,we are still on a try democrats typically represents more middle class people or average working Americans and there are lots of needs they have for 6 million Americans insured. Increasingly that a middle class problem is not just a problem reported.
Wondering for the blue dogs where do you think your biggest challenge will be in terms of heath care involve agenda?
Face a lot of problems for example what is med care pay of physicians is a formula putted law 1997 which very year cut off about 5%. For the last 5 years doctor says face that cut and the last minute conversation that for word and fund money to protect doctors. I think we’ll continue to do that and democrat majorities as doctors are very sympathetic population patients love on doctor and this concern unrealistic they were put in a law 1997 and really have very little to do with realities so I think congress funding for 5 billion dollars and takes every year to hold physician harmless from that cut. The real fix for physicians will cost believe or not 5 trillion dollars away it is calculated. So it is a lot of money come up with without founding somewhere cost also that talk too do not want physician pay cut. It may not increase a lot but they do not want cut.
So are you think that were your organizes have one bigger fats?
Yes, because the call blue dogs for pay you goal and that is kitchen table presble go it spend or can you spend but in order pay for that you have to find spending cost someone else. Or taxing praise so we will afford programs but we want to a go back to other programs in government and find money not just borrow the money from our lender because increasingly our lenders are countries like China which are funding less we borrow two billion dollars a day from countries like China and most Americans are not aware of our depends on foreign resources like that.
So you think that is gonging to be tough for democrats to connect any legislation on health care any significant legislation why is that if they do have chance to add something what would you be?
Well remember we have 3 branches government. Republic can still control the exact grants the dominant grants, They are legislation grants now barely under democrat control we have a 5149 majority and sent possibly 5049 depending on the health and the house we have much more substantial majority some 30 plus individuals but if you bright that down that means 15 democrats change their mind although we lose some majority. So it is a slender majority the press still has veto power and although he is only veto one bill and carries along six years that bill was a health care bill that involve stem cell research stem cell research.
So what do you think it is going to happen was stem cell research?
I think we can afford another veto showed on the president. I think the clear majority of house send it will get afford and brought research a great majority that we saw last time and republic can converse and presidents going to be a dilemma I don’t know whether going to be stepped which is veto operation and where he will be willing compromise.
So how will the deficit will picture now and future influence lightly herb and that of any significant health care legislation of you
I think they are democrats may efforts on health care will be to first, allow negotiation for better drug prices and med care and I think we will succeed and than at least giving the secretary helping the serves authority whether or not the serves use it we can forcing to negotiate but we can be given a power . Second I think you are going to see a majority houses send it vote for research again I think that is very possible step I hope president is not veto that as a session again. Third I think you are going to see that democrats try to protect physicians from Medi care fee cost. I also think you are going to see democrats try to reduce the member of uninsured people of American by focusing on children first I think I do that by working to improve this state children health program all of county so that they can cover more children more people under 18 years of age. I think as very possible agenda especially considering slim hold that democrat has congress. I think most spondees know the democrats has more compassionate and I think now we will miring that physical responsibility that is really an ideal compensation to help people and still mend your part of book at the same time. So I am excide about the policy combination I think the blue dog democrats bring a lot to that question. I think the average physician is a lot like blue dogs because they know they have to live about to and they want to live with good quality care for their patient so I think there is good for physicians and blue dogs
I'm Rachel Gotbaum, in the perspective article on Jan. 4th issue of NEMJ, John Iglehart explores the health care agenda likely to be taken up by the New Democratic-controlled Congress. I'm speaking with Representative Jim Cooper of Tennessee. He is a member of the Blue Dog Democrats whose priority is balancing the budget.
First of all, what is a Blue Dog Democrat?
It's a Democrat who's pretty conservative especially on physical issues. We get the word "blue" because we've been strangled to death by both parties, both Regular Liberal Democrats and by Republicans, because we tend to vote in the middle, we tend to vote with whichever policy we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue in health care for you Blue Dogs and for the Democrats?
All the issues really revolve around money because Medicare alone is about 30 trillion dollars in whole. That's trillions with the TR. We have slender majority other Democrats do, we have Republic President. So a turn likely there going to be any major agenda items there will be able to get down in the next two-year period. We still on the trine Democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans. And there are a lot of needs they have with 46 million Americans uninsured. Increasingly that's a middle-class problem, not just a problem of the poor.
Wandering for the Blue Dogs, where do you think your biggest challenges will be in terms of the health care votes an agenda?
We'll face for a lot of cleaner problems, for example, what does Medicare pay physicians. There's a formula put them along 1997, which every year tries to cut doctors about 5%, For the last 4 or 5 years, doctors have faced that cut, and the last minute, Congress stepped forward, and fund the money to protect the doctors. I think we will continue to do that under Democratic Majorities. Because doctors are very sympathetic population, patients love their own doctor. And these cuts are unrealistic, they were put along 1997, and really have little to do with reality. So I think I going to say congress funding the 4 or 5 billion dollars that takes every year to hold physicians harmless from those cuts. The real fix for physicians would cost, believe or not, 5 trillion dollars the way it's calculated. So that's a lot of money to come up with, we've got to find it somewhere because also as I talked to do not want physicians pay cut. They might not want increasing some for long, but they do not want it cut.
So are you saying that were you'll going to have one of the bigger fights?
Yes. Because the core Blue Dog philosophy is "pay as you go". That’s the kitchen table principle. Its fund ok new spending, but in order to pay for that you have fund spending cuts somewhere else, or as an mechanism last through the worker tax increase. So we are full of new programs, but we want to go back to other programs in government and fund the money. Not just borrow the money from our lenders because increasing our lenders are countries like China, which are funding our current life style. We borrow almost 2 million dollars a day from countries like China. Most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you are saying that it's going to be tough for Democrats to enact any legislation on health care, any significant legislation. Why is that if they do have a chance to enact something? What would it be?

2. We'll face for a lot of clean-up problems for example
我认为应该是we are faced with...
3. the last minute the congress step up forward and find the money to protect doctors
这里应该是过去式，应该是stepped forwards
本人听的也不是很清楚，不能确定，希望大家一起讨论，弄清最后答案
2 points to add.
1. It's a democrat who is pretty conservative special on physical issues.
I think it should be fiscal issues because it's about money.
2. Patients love on their own doctor.
I think it might be loathe rather than love on. No one likes seeing a doctor and no one likes doctors.
I'm Rachel Gotbaum in the perspective article in January 4th issue of New England Journal of Medicine, John Iglehart explored the healthcare agenda likely to be taken up by the new Democrat controlled Congress. I'm speaking with the representative Jim Copper at Tennessee. He is a member of the Blue Dog Democrats whose priority is balancing the budget. First of all, what is the Blue Dog Democrat ?
It's a democrat who is pretty conserved of special on physical issues. We get the work blue because of we being strangled to death by both parties about this regular labor democrats and by Republicans because we tend the vote in the middle. We tend the vote was whichever policy we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue of healthcare for you blue dogs and for the democrats?
All the issues really revolve around money because Medicare alone is about $30, 000, 000, 000 on the whole. That's trillions with the TR, we have slender a majority all the democrats do, we have Republic president. So it turn likely there gonna be any major agenda items, there will be applecate down in the next two year period. But we so wanna try democrats typically represent more middle class people average working Americans, and there are a lot of needs they have what 46, 000, 000 Americans uninsured. Increasingly, that's a middle class problem not just problem with the poor.
I wondering for the blue dogs, where do you think your biggest challenges will be in term of the healthcare votes and the agenda?
We'll face a lot of clean-up problems, for example, what dose the Medicare pay physicians? There is a formula put them all in 1997 which every year tries doctors about 5%, for the last 4 or 5 years, doctors face that card and the last minute conversance that forward and found the money to protect doctors, I think we'll continue to do that under democrat majorities, 'cause doctors are very simplified population. Patients___on doctor, and this cuts a unrealistic they were putting along 1997 and really have little to do with the reality. So I think I can go to the congress, founding 4 or 5 billion dollars take every year to hold physicians harmless from those cuts. The real fakes for physicians would caught believe or not 5 trillion dollars the way as calculated, so as a lot of money to come up with, we got find somewhere because most I talk to do not want physicians pay cut. They might not want increase somehow lot, but they do not want it cut. So are(do) you think that's where you're gonna have one of the bigger fights?
Yes, 'cause of the quarrel blue dogs philosophy is 'pay-as-you-go' and that kitchen table principle is found ok new spending, but in order to pay for that, you have to find spending cards somewhere else. Or as my opinion as last, there was a tax increase. So we are for new programs, but we want to go back to other programs in government and found money, not just borrow the money from our lenders 'cause increasingly our lenders are countries like China which founding style. We borrow almost $2, 000, 000 a day from countries like China, and most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you're think it's going to be tough for democrats to enact any legislation on healthcare anything significant legislation why is that if they do have a chance to enact something what would it be?
I am Rachel Gotbaum. In a perspective article in January fourth issue of the New England journal of medicine John Igohard exposed the health care agenda likely to be taken up by the new democratic control of congress.
I am speaking with representative Jim Cooper of Tennessee. He's a memeber of the blue dog decmocrats whose priority is balancinng the budget.
First of all what is a blue dog democrat?
It's a democrat who's pretty concerned with especially on physical issues
We get the word "blue" because we've been strangled to death by both parties both regular local democrats and by republicans cause we tend to vote in the middle. We tend to vote with each policy that we think is right.
So what do you expect to be the most challenging issue in health care for you blue dogs and for the democrats?
All the issues really revolved for money because medical care alone is about thirty trillion dollar in the whole. That's trillion with the Tiya? We have a slimder a majority what the democrats do and we have republic and president so it's unlikely there's going to be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next two year period, but we still want to try democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans.
And there are a lot of needs they have for 46 million Americans and their children increasingly that's a middle-class problem not just problem with the board.
Wondering for the blue dogs, where do you think your biggest challenges will be in terms of the health care votes and agenda ?
We're faced with a lot of cleanup problems , for example ,
what is medical care paid decisions is a formula putting on in 1997 which every year tries to cut our about five percent. For the last four years doctors have faced that cut and the last minute congress stepped forward and found the money to protect the doctors. I think we will continue to do that and the democratic majorities as doctors are very sympathetic population.
Patients roan a lot on doctors. And these cuts are unrealistic. They were putting on in 1997 and really have very little to do with realities so I think we are going to see congress finding for five billion dollars and tax every year to hold physicians harmless from most cuts. The real fix for phsician would cost, believe or not, five trillion dollars a way it's calculated so that's a lot of money to come up with. We've got to find it somewhere cause most ? I talk to do not want physicians to pay cut. They might not want increase on the whole? but they do not want a cut.
So are you saying that's what you are going to have one of the bigger fights?
Yes, because the core blue dog for us is" pay and you go"and that is a kitchen table principle It's found ok new spending but in order to pay for that have to find spending cuts somewhere else, or in my opinion as a last resouce a tax increase. So we afford new programs but we want to go back to other promgrams in government and find the money, not just borrow the money from our lenders causing increasingly our lenders or countries like China which are funding Africa lifestyle. We borrowed almost two billion dollars a day from coutries like China and most Americans are not aware of our dependence on foreign sources like that.
So you are saying that it's going to be tough for democrats to elect any legislation on health care , any significant legislation like why is that if they do have a chance to elect something what would it be ?
In a perspective article in the January 4th issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, John K. Iglehart explores the health agenda likely to be
I think it should be the health care agenda
后面的是下次讨论的吗?第一次参加,不太了解情况.
both regular local democrats and by republicans because we tend to vote in the middle中"local"个人认为应该是liberal啦，conservative Republican 共和党和 liberal Democrat民主党是美国的左右两大党派，共和党又称保守派（右派），民主党又称自由派（左派，自由派liberal又与自由党人libertarian——中间派——不同），有兴趣google搜搜，当长长知识。光从听写讲，各位再仔细听听，中间有个/r/的音的。

We have a republican president. So it sounds likely there ain't gonna be any major agenda items that will be able to get done in the next two-year period. We still want to try. Democrats typically represent more middle-class people, average working Americans. Then there is a lot needs. They have 46 million Americans uninsured.

In my humble opinion, it sounds like "So it isn't likely there are gonna be any major agenda items ".
and there're several other points:
But we are still on a trying.
But we still wanna try.
Patients love on their own doctor.

非常同意观点2，观点3中的时态的确听到更接近现在时，但由于find部分听起来更接近found,所以推断前面用完成时或许更好些，即has stepped forward。另外觉得此句last minute 应为last-minute,表示最后一分钟的，紧要关头的；congress的c变为大写Congress，因为觉得像专有名词-议会。全句可为 the last-minute Congress has stepped forward and found the money to protect doctorsstrollonline wrote:
