Top 10 Fascinating Facts About the WHITE HOUSE

One of the most famous, if not the most famous, Presidential homes in the world is the White

House, which is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.

Over 6,000 people visit it every day, and it is one of the top tourist attractions in

America's capital.

Of course, besides being a famous monument, it is also a home that is steeped in history.

These are 10 of the most fascinating facts about the White House and the people who lived

in it.

10.

They Had A Design Contest To Build It

In 1790, Congress passed the Residence Act, which established Washington, D.C. as the

capital of the United States.

Congress also ordered that the capitol buildings, including the President's House needed to

be built within 10 years.

In order to find architectural plans for the house where the President would live, Congress

held a contest.

At the urging of George Washington, Irish-born architect James Hoban submitted his plans,

which Encyclopedia Britannica said was influenced by Leinster House in Dublin.

Hoban won the contest and his reward was $500 and a lot in D.C.

He was also hired on to oversee the construction of the President's House, which started

in 1793.

The second President, John Adams, moved into the house in 1800, before it was actually

finished.

The total cost of building the President's House (its name before the White House) was

$232,372, which is the equivalent of about $100 million today.

9.

It Was Built By Slaves, Freed Slaves, And Immigrants

In July 2016, former First Lady Michelle Obama made some waves during her speech at the Democratic

National Convention when she said "…I wake up every morning in a house that was

built by slaves."

After the comment, several prominent people said it wasn't true, or justified the use

of slavery by saying they were "well-fed" slaves.

However, Obama's statement was totally correct.

According to the book The Invisibles: The Untold Story of African American Slaves in

the White House, about 400 of the 600 people who built the Capitol, including the White

House, were slaves.

The other 200 were about 50 freed slaves and the remainder were poor immigrants.

The White House Historical Association confirms that slaves did help build the White House,

but they weren't government owned.

Instead, they just rented them out from slave owners.

Because that totally makes it OK, right?

8.

The British Burned It Down

In June 1812, the United States, which was only 36-years-old at the time, declared war

on Great Britain.

There were several underlying reasons for the war, but one of them was to take over

Canada, which was a British colony, and make it part of America.

Throughout the war, each side had major victories and suffered terrible losses.

One of the biggest military defeats for the Americans happened on August 24, 1813, when

British forces invaded Washington, D.C.

In retaliation for sacking York, which is now Toronto, the President's House was relieved

of a few souvenirs before it was set ablaze.

The ensuing fire nearly destroyed the building.

After torching the President's House, several other prominent buildings in Washington were

burned to the ground.

Rebuilding started soon afterwards and the White House was restored to its original architectural

plans.

In fact, James Hoban, who oversaw the original construction, was rehired to oversee the reconstruction

to make it as close to the original as possible.

The reconstruction was completed by 1817, just in time for President James Monroe to

move in.

After the Burning of Washington, the Americans fought back against the British and won several

important victories.

This led to the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814.

Part of the treaty was that any captured territory by either side would be returned.

What's interesting is how this part of history is taught in schools in the United States

and Canada, who have had uninterrupted peace with each other since the War of 1812.

In the United States, students are taught that the War of 1812 was a war that earned

the respect of the British and strengthened the nation as a whole, allowing them to expand

westward.

Canadian students, on the other hand, learn that the War of 1812 was the one time that

the aggressive Americans tried to invade Canada and for their troubles, they got their capital

and the White House burned down.

7.

Why Is The White House White?

One myth about the White House is that it's white to cover up the fire damage that was

caused when it burned down in 1814.

However, that isn't true because it was white before it was set on fire.

In 1798, a lime-based whitewash was painted on to protect the porous stone from cracking.

Usually, the whitewash would have weathered and faded away.

However, instead they kept reapplying the whitewash until 1818, when it was painted

with lead-based white paint.

The house was originally called the President's House, but since it was distinctively white,

its nickname was the white house for almost a century.

It wouldn't officially become the White House until 1901 under President Theodore

Roosevelt.

6.

Pets There Have Included Alligators, Badgers, Bears, and a Dog Named Satan

Besides being home to the First Family, the White House has also had its fair share of

pets.

Out of 45 Presidents, there are only three Presidents who have no record of owning a

pet: Chester A. Arthur, Franklin Pierce, and Donald Trump.

In most cases, the pets were dogs or cats.

Abigail Adams had a dog named Satan, for instance.

However, it's also been home to some more exotic pets.

Calvin Coolidge had a menagerie and the main attraction was a 600 pound pygmy hippopotamus

named Billy.

Two different Presidents had alligators roam the White House grounds – Herbert Hoover

and John Quincy Adams.

Supposedly Adams kept a gator in the bathroom in the East Room and used it to scare guests.

Martin Van Buren was given two tiger cubs by the Sultan of Oman.

However, supposedly Congress made him donate the cubs to a zoo.

Finally, Theodore Roosevelt had a badger named Josiah and was given a bear, which his children

named Jonathan Edwards, by a group of voters in West Virginia.

However, he didn't have the proper accommodations for the bear, which Roosevelt called "queer-tempered,"

and he ended up donating the bear to the Bronx Zoo.

5.

Lyndon B. Johnson's Shower

Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States, was a relentlessly hard worker

who was known for getting things done.

He was also a man with a strong sexual appetite who seemed to be obsessed with his own genitals.

He was known to whip it out whenever and where ever he wanted to.

So it really shouldn't be a surprise that he had some odd requests when it came to his

shower.

According to Kate Andersen Brower's book The Residence: Inside the Private World of

the White House, Johnson wanted to have several nozzles that switched from hot to cold.

He also wanted the pressure to be intense, like a fire hose.

Finally, he wanted a nozzle pointed directly at his genitals and to shoot up his rear end.

When the plumber said it couldn't be done, Johnson himself called the plumber and chewed

him out.

To inspire him, Johnson said, "If I can move 10,000 troops in a day, you certainly

can fix the shower."

So the plumber tinkered with the shower and it ended up with four nozzles.

One time, an usher apparently tried the shower and it pinned him to the wall.

When Nixon moved into the White House in 1969, he ordered the plumber to get rid of Johnson's

shower.

4.

Market Value

Before Donald Trump was elected President, we could say with certainty that the White

House would never go on sale; but now, who knows what will happen?

He is a real estate mogul, after all.

If he were to put it on the market, what would be a fair asking price?

Well, the real estate website Zillow came up with an estimate for the house, which is

a single family home with 142 rooms on six floors and about 55,000 square feet, and sits

on an 18 acre lot.

If you were to include all the historical artifacts with it and the hot tub that was

installed under Bill Clinton (because of course Slick Willie installed a hot tub), then it

would cost $398 million.

Or if President Trump wanted to rent it out, it would cost $2,079,473.

3.

The White House's Deadly Water Supply

The ninth President of the United States, William Henry Harrison, holds two Presidential

records and the common belief is that these two records are connected.

The first is that Harrison gave the longest inaugural speech, which he did outside on

a cold and miserable March day without a coat.

The second record is that he was President for the shortest amount of time.

He died on April 4, 1841, 32 days into his presidency, from what was believed to be pneumonia,

which he caught while giving his long inauguration speech.

However, according to Dr. Philip A. Mackowiak of the University of Maryland School of Medicine,

who did a modern-day medical investigation, Harrison most likely died of Typhoid Fever

and not of pneumonia.

The source of the typhoid fever was the White House's water supply.

Mackowiak also thinks that the water in the White House killed President James K. Polk,

who died in 1849, three months after leaving the White House, and president Zachary Taylor,

who died in office in 1850.

2.

Does It Have Secret Passages?

One of the most mythical elements of the White House is its secret passages and tunnels.

For example, it was rumored that John F. Kennedy used the tunnels to sneak out of the White

House to meet Marilyn Monroe.

However, that's all they appear to be – myths.

While there have been renovations of the White House over the years, including additions,

the White House wasn't really designed to house things like tunnels and secret passages.

The closest thing to a secret lair is the Presidential Emergency Operations Center,

which was built after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

At the time, the Council of National Defense urged Franklin D. Roosevelt to move out of

the White House because they thought it was a "firetrap."

His compromise was to build a bomb shelter in the White.

The Presidential Emergency Operations Center is in the basement of the East Wing.

It serves as the communication center and it is able to withstand a nuclear blast.

It's also important to note that the shelter is not the same as the Situation Room, which

is in the basement of the West Wing.

One notable time it was used was on September 11, 2001.

Vice President Dick Chaney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, among others, were

evacuated from their offices into the Presidential Emergency Operations Center.

1.

It Was Almost Torn Down In 1945 Because It Was In Such Bad Shape

By 1945, the White House had been lived in for 145 years and it was in rough shape.

Besides being nearly destroyed in 1814, there was another fire in the White House on Christmas

Eve 1929.

The White House was hosting a party and when the fire started in the West Wing, Herbert

Hoover left the party to oversee the removal of papers and documents from the Oval Office,

while the First Lady kept the party going.

The fire ended up gutting the West Wing, including the Oval Office.

Another problem was that the White House wasn't constructed to have indoor plumbing and electricity

and that was all added well after it was built.

This added a lot of stress to the structure of the building.

It got to be so bad that Harry S. Truman thought it was going to collapse.

In fact, his daughter's piano fell through a floor into the room below it.

The condition of the White House got to be so bad that it would have been cheaper to

tear it down and build something new in its place.

However, since it was a national monument Truman was against the idea.

They chose to gut the interior of the White House and rebuild it as close to its original

design as possible.

The reconstruction took four years, during which time Harry and Bess Truman lived in

Blair House, which is across the street from the White House.

GOOD MORNING.

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND TALK ABOUT HOUSE FILE 2573.

>>

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS BILL. I LIKE TO BEGIN BY PROVIDING SOME

BRIEF BACKGROUND. IN

1990 MINNESOTA LAW REQUIRING DATA RELATED TO ABORTION BE COLLECTED AND MAINTAINED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. SINCE THAT

TIME WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES

AND CURRENTLY IS A GAP IN THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON ABORTION. WHICH LEADS TO AN INCOMPLETE PICTURE OF ABORTION IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.

SPECIFICALLY THE GAP

CONCERNS HOW

[INAUDIBLE] ABORTION WHICH INVOLVES A PHYSICIAN AND ONE CLINIC AND A CLINIC

PATIENT IN ANOTHER. THE BILL BEFORE HE SPEAKS TO ADDRESS THIS GAP IN INFORMATION IN ORDER TO PROVIDE

A MORE

COMPLETE PICTURE OF ABORTION IN THE STATE OF

MINNESOTA. NOTABLY I THINK WE ALL AGREE INFORMATION IS

VALUABLE AND HELPS LAWMAKERS

MAKE POLICY

DECISIONSAND AS MDH STATES ON THE REPORT; THE DATA THEY PROVIDE ARE IMPORTANT BOTH FROM A DEMOGRAPHIC AND PUBLIC HEALTH VIEWPOINT AND DATA FROM REPORTS

ON ABORTION PROVIDE UNIQUE INFORMATION ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN HAVING

INDUCED ABORTIONS BEEN UNIFORM ANNUAL DATA OF

SUCH QUALITY. WAREHOUSE WILL AVAILABLE

MEDICAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED TO EVALUATE RISK

ASSOCIATED WITH INDUCED ABORTION AT VARIOUS LENGTHS OF

GESTATION AND THE TYPES OF ABORTION USE.

THE BILL SIMPLY ADDS A [INAUDIBLE] WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF IF YOU LOOK TO THE FORM

IT REQUIRESTHE FERTILITY CODE BE REQUIRED REQUIRED IN THIS BILL

SIMPLY REQUIRES-AAND I'LL REFER TO

LINE

2.1-3.2-AAT THE [INAUDIBLE] AND THE FACILITY

CODE FOR THE PHYSICIAN ARE BOTH REPORTED.

THIS LANGUAGE WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR AND I REACH OUT TO HIM AGAIN THIS YEAR BEFORE

AND I BELIEVE THEY'RE

HERE TO ANSWER

THE QUESTION. I ALSO REVIEWED THE AUDIO FROM LAST YEAR'S HEARING AND I WANT TO BE VERY VERY CLEAR. ACCORDING

TO BARRY CURRENT REQUIREMENTS IN LAW THE COMMISSIONER MUST ENSURE NONE OF THE INFORMATION INCLUDED IN PUBLIC REPORTS

CAN REASONABLY LEAD TO

THE IDENTIFICATION

OF AN INDIVIDUAL PERFORMING OR RECEIVING

AN ABORTION.

LET ME REPEAT THAT YOUR PRIVACY IS PROTECTED INTO MY NOTE THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CASE OF A WOMAN OR DOCTOR BEEN IDENTIFIED FROM THIS PUBLIC DATA. TO

THAT END; I WOULD SAY THAT CARMEN HAS A

GREAT JOB AND WE SHOULD HAVE NO CONCERNS. I REFER YOU TO YOUR PACKET WHICH ALSO INCLUDES A COPY OF THE

STATUTE 145.4134.

IN CLOSING; AND AGAIN TO BE CLEAR THIS IS JUST UPDATING THE CURRENT

REPORTING FORM

TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF ABORTION IN

THE STATE.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO CURRENT REPORTING

REQUIREMENTS AND

MDM. CHAIRMAN I'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> CHAIR: THANK YOU

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN.

MEMBERS; QUESTIONS?

REPRESENTATIVE LESCH >> REPRESENTATIVE

LESCH [INAUDIBLE]

>> CHAIR: ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WISHING TO TESTIFY FOR OR AGAINST THIS BILL?

I BELIEVE I HAVE

ANDREA LEDGER IS IN

THE AUDIENCE? GOOD MORNING WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE PLEASE; STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD AND PROCEED WITH YOUR TESTIMONY >> TESTIFIER: GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS ANDREA LESHER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBOR ALL PRO-CHOICE MINNESOTA AND I'M HERE TO TESTIFY

IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.

THIS LEGISLATION IS UNNECESSARY AND

DISCRIMINATES AGAINST A PARTICULAR TYPE OF

MEDICAL PROCEDURE. THE FACTS ARE

THAT OCCASIONAL ABORTION IS EXTREMELY SACRED PROVIDERS ARE ALREADY SUBJECT TO NUMEROUS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND THAT THIS BILL WOULD SINGLE OUT ABORTION FOR A

GRANULARITY OF REPORTING NOT REQUIRED FOR ANY OTHER TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURES

AND MEDICATION ABORTION WHICH CAN

BE PROVIDED VIA TILE MEDICINE HAS OVER 99% SAFETY RECORD. THE NUMBER OF ADVERSE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH

THE MEDICATION USED FOR MEDICAL ABORTION IS LESS FOR EXAMPLE THAN FOR SUCH MEDICATION IS

TYLENOL AND

[INAUDIBLE]. THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 2016 REPORT ON INDUCED ABORTION

[INAUDIBLE] ONE THIRD

OF WOMEN CHOOSE MEDICATION ABORTION TELEMEDICINE IS A METHOD BY WHICH PHYSICIANS PROVIDE MEDICATION ABORTION AND IT'S JUST THE SAME AS MEDICATION ABORTION ACCESS AT THE SAME LOCATION AS THE PHYSICIAN.

A STUDY OF IOWA PATIENTS FOUND THAT 600 WOMEN UTILIZED AN ABORTION VIA TELEMEDICINE AT COMPARABLE CLINICAL OUTCOMES TO THOSE

SAW DOCTORS IN PERSON. THE AMERICAN CONGRESS OF OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNECOLOGISTS OPPOSES LEGISLATION THAT RATES

VARIOUS TO

[INAUDIBLE] INCLUDING TEST TO RESTRICT

MEDICATION ABORTION

THROUGH TELEMEDICINE TELEMEDICINE IS BECOMING MORE COMMON PRACTICE. IN 2015 THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE LED BY A

BIPARTISAN COALITION

VOTED TO EXTEND TELEMEDICINE BY REQUIRING INSURERS TO PROVIDE PARITY FOR

TELEMEDICINE

COMFORT CONSULTATION TELEMEDICINE IS

AN ESPECIALLY

IMPORTANT FOR AMERICANS TO LIVE IN REMOTE OR RURAL AREAS AND DO NOT ACCESS TO A NEARBY DOCTOR OR IF YOU NEED A SPECIALIST ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO APPROXIMATE ONE FOURTH OF AMERICANS LIVE IN RURAL AREAS WHILE ONLY 10% OF PHYSICIANS PRACTICE IN

THESE AREAS.

95% OF MINNESOTA COUNTIES HAVE NO

ABORTIONS PROVIDER.

IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR SOME WOMEN TO TRAVEL TO A REPRODUCTIVE

HEALTH PLAN WHERE THEY CAN ACCESS ABORTION SERVICES DIRECTLY FROM

A PROVIDER. NO OTHER

TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURE HAS BEEN SINGLED OUT FOR THIS

KIND OF ADDITIONAL REPORTING. THE REPORT ON INDUCED ABORTIONS IN MINNESOTA IS ALREADY A LENGTHY ENCUMBRANCE OF DOCUMENT

WITH A 2016 REPORT OF 2015 DATA COMING AT 32 PAGES AND IT INCLUDES

DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WOMEN

SEEKING ABORTIONS;

NUMBERS BY COUNT OF WOMEN SEEKING ABORTIONS; COUNTY

OF WOMEN SEEKING ABORTION; THE TYPE OF PROCEDURE PERFORMED; THE REASON FOR ABORTION; AND

COMPLICATION RATE.

IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF HEIGHTENED RHETORIC AGAINST

ABORTION PROVIDERS; WHICH BE HESITANT TO

A CRATE ADDITIONAL

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WHICH COULD LEAD TO [INAUDIBLE] A 2015 PRO PUBLIC INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT ANTIABORTION EXTREMISTS

SEE STATE COLLECTED ABORTION DATA AS A RESOURCE FOR TARGETING AND HARASSING PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS. ACCORDING TO THE INVESTIGATION

ABORTION OPPONENT SEGMENT EXPERTS AT ACCESSING PUBLIC RECORDS SUCH AS REPORTING

911 CALLS AUTOPSY REPORTS; AND

DOCUMENTS FROM

STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND

MEDICAL BOARDS AND PUBLISHING THE INFORMATION ON

THE WEBSITE. THE BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY DOES NOTHING TO PROTECT WOMEN'S HEALTH. INSTEAD; LAYS THE GROUNDWORK TO CRATE ADDITIONAL BERRIES FOR WOMEN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.

>> CHAIR: THANK YOU TO ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE

WISHING TO TESTIFY BEFORE OR AGAINST

THE BILL?

SEEING NONE; WILL OPEN IT UP FOR

MEMBER QUESTIONS. FIRST OF ALL I'LL GIVE REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON ANYTHING.

ANY STATEMENTS. IF YOU DON'T WANT

TO WEEK THAT'S FINE; TOO WE CAN JUST GO TO MEMBER QUESTIONS. >>

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN ONE POINT I WOULD JUST MAKE-THANK YOU TO THE TESTIFY FOR THEIR ENGAGEMENT ON THE ISSUE-TO THE

POINT THAT IT IS UNNECESSARY

OR DISCRIMINATES AND THERE'S ALREADY MANY

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS; THIS ISSUE OF

TELEMEDICINE ABORTIONS IS CLEARLY SOMETHING ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAS CAUSED

CONCERN AMONG OTHER STATES

AND SEVERAL STATES OF ACTUALLY BANDED.

>> CHAIR: THAN

K YOU REPRESENTATIVE HOWE

>>

REPRESENTATIVE HOWE: I WAS GOING TO ASK THE TESTIFY BUT

I'LL GUESS

I'LL ASK REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN; IS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS CHANGE IN

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THA

T BANDS FROM THE

TESTIFIER'S COMMENTS; I WOULD THINK THIS IS GOING TO RESTRICT THOSE IN

RURAL AREAS

THAT LOOK FOR THIS PROCEDURE THAT WOULD RESTRICT THEM IN ANY WAY? IS THERE ANYTHING IN HERE THAT RESTRICTS

THEIR ACCESS TO THIS PROCEDURE?

>> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: NO..

>> CHAIR: REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM >> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM IS THERE ANY OTHER PROCEDURE

FORM VIA TELEMEDICINE THAT YOU COLLECT ANY OF THIS

DATA ON? ANY OTHER?

>> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN:

OTHER TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.

>> CHAIR: REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM >> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM SO WHAT DID YOU COLLECT ABOUT

THOSE PROCEDURES?

DID YOU COLLECT THE DOCTOR INFORMATION AND PATIENT CODE INFORMATION; OR WHAT INFORMATION YOU COLLECT ABOUT

OTHER TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURES? >> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: I

ACTUALLY DON'T COLLECT ANYTHING BUT THE DEPARTMENT

I BELIEVE THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DOES BUT THEY'RE HERE TO

ANSWER QUESTIONS

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THAT I WOULD REFER

TO THEM. >>

REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM: I'M JUST POINT OUT THIS PARTICULAR PROCEDURE FOR ADDITIONAL DATA COLLECTION WOULD BE HELPFUL

TO KNOW

OF THIS PROCEDURE COMPARED TO OTHER DATA

THAT'S BEEN COLLECTED ON OTHER

TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURES.

IF SOMEONE COULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION THAT CERTAINLY WOULD BE HELPFUL. >> CHAIR:

DOES THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WANT TO

COME FORWARD SO SOMEBODY CAN ANSWER

THE QUESTION? MR. POLLOCK?

GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE. PLEASE; STATE YOUR NAME TO THE RECORD AND PROCEED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER >> TESTIFIER: DAN POLLOCK

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM QUESTION WAS I BELIEVE; WHAT IS TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURES DO WE COLLECT ANY ANSWERS; NONE. WE DON'T COLLECT DATA ON TELEMEDICINE

PROCEDURES. IF THERE WERE PALMS ABOUT ANOTHER

TELEMEDICINE PROCEDURE [INAUDIBLE] BOARD

OF NURSING. >> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM:

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN; IN LIGHT OF THAT TESTIMONY; WHY

HAVE YOU SPECIFICALLY TARGETED ONLY THIS

PARTICULAR FORM

OF TELEMEDICINE AND NOT OTHERS?

>>

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: FORGIVE ME FOR MISSPEAKING.

[INAUDIBLE] TELEMEDICINE

STATUTE ON AND IT SAYS SUBDIVISION THREE

MINNESOTA STATUTE 256B 256B0265

TELEMEDICINE [INAUDIBLE] LICENSE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS MUST DOCUMENT EACH OCCURRENCE

[INAUDIBLE] SO THERE MIGHT BE A

LITTLE BIT

OF CLARITY THAT I NEED TO PROVIDE

JUST FOR THE RECORD TO SAY THAT

THE STATUTE DOES ADDRESS TELEMEDICINE IN REGARDS TO LICENSE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS THEY MUST DOCUMENT THE OCCURRENCE OF A HEALTH SERVICE PROVIDER BY TELEMEDICINE INCLUDING THE LOCATION OF THE ORIGINATING SITE

REGARDING THIS PROCEDURE IN PARTICULAR; CURRENTLY WE

HAVE AGREED IS A STATE OF MINNESOTA

IN 1990-ACTUALLY A DFL -CONTROLLED LEGISLATURE HAVING INFORMATION ON ABORTION

IS IMPORTANT

FOR POLICYMAKING PURPOSES AND

OTHER REASONS. RIGHT NOW; THERE'S AN

INCOMPLETE PICTURE OF

THE ABORTION INDUCED

ABORTION SERVICES AND BECAUSE OF THIS

1990 TELEMEDICINE SERVICE WAS NOT PROVIDED AND NOW IT IS IN SIMPLY UPDATING THE CURRENT LAW TO PROVIDE A MORE COMPLETE PICTURE.

>> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM: REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN A MORE COMPLETE PICTURE. DOES THAT MEAN IF YOU PASS THIS PROVISION THAT YOU WILL HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR

ARE YOU STILL LOOKING FOR MORE THAT WILL NOT BE IN

THE STATUE? >> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN:

I THINK IT

IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE AS

MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN OUT BEFORE MAKING DECISIONS AND MOVING FORWARD; I WANT TO SAY THIS ALL THE DATA

THAT I WOULD EVER THINK WOULD

BE HELPFUL OR USEFUL

BUT THIS WILL HELP US

MOVING FORWARD TO A MORE COMPLETE PICTURE.

>> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM: I

KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE STOPPED IN THE STATE

OF MINNESOTA. I KNOW AND I

UNDERSTAND THAT AND WE SEE ACROSS THE COUNTRY THE PEOPLE ARE USING THESE DATA COLLECTIONS

PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO STOP BEHAVIOR AND NORMALLY

THIS COMMITTEE WANTS TO KEEP FOLKS

FROM COLLECTING OR ACCESSING OR USING ANY KIND OF DATA; SO

IT STRIKES

ME AS--WELL I WON'T GO THERE-IT STRIKES ME THIS IS THE ONE ISSUE AREA WHERE YOU JUST SEEM TO NOT BE ABLE TO

GET ENOUGH.

>> CHAIR: REPRESENTATIVE LESCH >> REPRESENTATIVE LESCH:

MME. CHAIRMAN IS THERE ANYONE SCHEDULED TO TESTIFY

ON THIS? ARE WE JUST ASKING-REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN ON THE

FIRING LINE IF ANYONE ELSE CAN COME DOWN

THEY CAN WHAT'S THE

STORY NOT? >> CHAIR: THERE'S NO ONE ELSE

SIGNED UP. >> REPRESENTATIVE LESCH: THEN I WAS SEEING NONE; WHELAN.

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN;

I THINK THE TESTIMONY WAS THERE'S VERY

LITTLE CHANCE THAT ANY

INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS OR PROVIDERS

COULD BE IDENTIFIED USING

THAT THAT

IS THAT CORRECT? >>

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: THAT IS CORRECT

ACCORDING TO STATUTE THE COMMISSIONER IS REQUIRED TO

ENSURE THAT ANY DATA

THAT COULD LEAD TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL EITHER RECEIVE

OR PERFORMING AN ABORTION NOT BE IN THE PUBLIC.

>> REPRESENTATIVE

LESCH: HISTORICALLY; THOSE KINDS

OF ASSURANCES

HAVEN'T NECESSARILY SATISFIED THE CONCERNS OF

THIS COMMITTEE; NOR WOULD I SAY

HAS IT SATISFIED

YOUR CAUCUS WHEN WE TALK

ABOUT FIREARMS;; BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR EXAMPLE.

I'M

WONDERING IF WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITY OF THE DATA YOU

BE SATISFIED IF WE SAID

CITY FARMS BACKGROUND CHECK THAT WE COULD BE ASSURED THAT NO ONE WOULD KEEP THE IDENTITY OF THE HOLDERS OF THOSE LICENSES

OR PERMITS; WOULD THAT

SATISFY YOU THAT DATA WAS SECURED IF WE WERE TO VOTE ON THAT?>>

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN

: TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION CORRECTLY; IF THE COMMISSIONER

WAS REQUIRED TO SUPPRESS DATA ON FARMS BACKGROUND CHECKS

THAT INDIVIDUAL CAN

BE IDENTIFIED; WITH THAT SATISFY

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING? >> REPRESENTATIVE LESCH

YES. >>

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: I WOULD ACTUALLY WANT TO KNOW I THINK HISTORICALLY IF

THE COMMISSIONER

OF PUBLIC SAFETY HAS BEEN REQUIRED TO DO THAT

AND [INAUDIBLE]THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND THE STATE

OF MINNESOTA

HAS FANTASTIC TRACK RECORD ON THE SPECIFIC ISSUE

;; AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE; THEY'VE

NEVER BEEN A CONCERN

BROUGHT FORWARD FOR AN INDIVIDUAL IDENTIFIED FROM THIS DATA.

SO I WOULD THINK THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD CHECK WITH THEM TO SEE HOW THEY DO IT

AND THEN GO FROM THERE BUT I WOULD WANT TO

MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION WE CAN. >> REPRESENTATIVE LESCH: THA

NK YOU. THAT WAS A GOOD DODGE.

I'M IMPRESSED. I MEAN THAT GENUINELY BECAUSE IT'S A TOUGH QUESTION TO ANSWER; RIGHT?

THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT WHEN WERE TALKING

ABOUT DATA YOU CAN

SATISFY SOMETHING WHEN YOU CAN AND USUALLY WHETHER YOU

CAN SATISFY COMES DOWN TO

THE POLITICS

OF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DATA. I THINK WE

ALL UNDERSTAND IT'S BEEN DANCED AROUND A LITTLE BIT BUT THE REASON YOU'RE BRINGING

THIS BILL HERE IS BECAUSE OF ABORTION AND THERE STILL

A DIVISION IN TH

IS LEGISLATURE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT

PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO

CHOOSE THAT; OR WHETHER OR NOT THEY

SHOULD NOT IN VARYING DEGREES

. I WOULD JUST POINT OUT TO YOU;

THIS LEGISLATURE HAS CHANGED

IN ATTITUDES ABOUT THAT OVER

THE YEARS. YOU HAD STATED

THIS WAS PASSED IN 1998.

I WOULD POINT OUT IN 1990 THAT WAS THE SAME YEAR THIS LEGISLATURE PASSED THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT

GAY PEOPLE CANNOT GET MARRIED.

AND NOW IT'S LEGAL IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. OKAY; SO ATTITUDES CHANGE A LOT.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR PASSION FOR THIS ISSUE

BUT THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO

DO HAVE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS

THAT BECAUSE OF THE POLITICS OF

THIS ISSUE; FOLKS COULD COME AFTER

THESE PEOPLE; WHETHER THEY ARE PROVIDERS OR WHETHER THEY

ARE PATIENTS

. THAT'S A LEGITIMATE CONCERN OF MINE I UNDERSTAND YOUR MOTIVATION AND I'M NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU ABOU

T YOUR MOTIVATIONS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND AND I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM BUT

I DO THINK THE LONG-TERM SECURITY OF

THE DATA SHOULD BE

PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE JUST A BIG

CAUSE OF THE WAY THE POLITICAL

ATTITUDES CHANGE.

SO; NO OTHER QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

>> CHAIR:

THANK YOU I'VE BEEN INFORMED WE NEED TO SPEAK LOUDER INTO OUR MICROPHONES.

THERE'S SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES GOING ON HERE THIS MORNING SO I WILL TALK LOUDER.

REPRESENTATIVE CARLSON IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK LOUDLY FOR

THE TAPE?

>>

REPRESENTATIVE CARLSON: I WILL DO MY BEST. [INAUDIBLE]

THANK YOU MME. CHAIRMAN

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN; YOUR STRONG SUPPORT OF

DATA PRIVACY RIGHTS. WE HEARD THAT IN YOUR COMMENTS DURING REAL ID COULD

YOU SPEAK

FAIRLY ELOQUENTLY IN TERMS OF PROTECTING

YOUR CONSTITUENTS PRIVACY BUT I SEE A LOT OF POTENTIAL [INAUDIBLE]

IN THIS BILL YOU BROUGHT CAN YOU SPEAK TO HOW YOU

CAN GUARANTEE

THOSE PROTECTIONS OF THOSE PRIVACY RIGHTS WITHIN

THIS BILL? >> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN: I

WOULD JUST REFER EVERYONE

AGAIN TO A STATUTE THAT HIS

CURRENT LAW

. THE COMMISSIONER SHALL ENSURE THAT NONE OF

THE INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE

PUBLIC REPORTS

AND THAT REASONABLY LEADS TO AN INDIVIDUAL HAVING PERFORMED OR HAVING HAD AN ABORTION

. THIS WOULD NOT CHANGE THAT AND I AM

CONFIDENT IN THE DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE TO UPHOLD CURRENT LAW AS THEY HAVE DONE SO WELL

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

>> REPRESENTATIVE CARLSON:

THANK YOU

FOR POINTING THAT OUT IN THE STATUTE. YES; WE CAN ALL SEE IT'S THERE. MY CONCERN

IS; THOUGH; WITH THIS

INHERENT RISK FOR WHAT I SEE

AS SOMETHING THAT IS DOING NOTHING

IN WHICH TO PROTECT WOMEN'S RIGHTS; IT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT RISK

BASED ON THE READING OF THAT

AND WHAT WE'RE AFTER HERE. SO; I JUST DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS

WORTH THAT RISK IN TERMS OF

PUTTING THOSE

POTENTIAL PRIVACY RIGHTS AT RISK. I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT

WOULD CAUSE YOU CONCERN AS WELL; BUT THANK YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT.

>> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN WELL

REPRESENTATIVE CARLSON ON THIS REPORT INFORMED AFTER LIST OF FACILITY CODE AND THE PHYSICIAN

REPORTING CODES. SO;

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ABORTION IT WAS;

YOU COULD STILL-THE SAME

PRIVACY RISKS ARE THERE NOW.

YOU COULD ARGUE BECAUSE

THEY STILL HAVE TO PUT THE FACILITY

REPORTING CODES WHERE

THE ABORTION ARE BEING PERFORMED AND THE PHYSICIAN CODE

WITH A PHYSICIAN IS. SO I DON'T SEE THIS AS CHANGING THAT. YOU

COULD STILL PINPOINT IT TO

IN THE DEPARTMENT STILL HAS

THE SAME OBLIGATION TO PROTECT

PEOPLE'S PRIVACY

EVEN IF THERE'S ONE PERSON IN

THE COUNTY; LET'S SAY THERE'S ONLY

ONE PERSON THAT IS ASIAN IN

THE COUNTY

. THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT MIGHT IDENTIFY THEM. THAT'S WHERE THIS

PIECE OF STATUTE WHERE THE DEPARTMENT

HAS TO

PROTECT THEIR IDENTITY COMES INTO PLAY.

REPRESENTATIVE CARLSON;

GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SPEAK BROADLY ON IT.

>> REPRESENTATIVE

CARLSON: THANK YOU; YES I REVIEWED THE

FORM AS

THESE INFRINGEMENTS ON DATA PRIVACY COULD SHOULD CALL THAT ALL INTO QUESTION.

[INAUDIBLE] I WOULD BE PUSHING BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION

SAYING THAT PUTTING PLACE

PEOPLE AT GREAT RISK WITH VERY SENSITIVE DATA WITH THESE TYPES

OF REQUESTS.

SO; WHETHER I THINK IT CALLS INTO

QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT

RECEIVING THIS KIND OF INFORMATION IS

EVEN NECESSARY.

>> CHAIR: WELL I DON'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS REPORT

OR HOW LONG IT IS BEEN AROUND; BUT I'M GUESSING IT'S BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME AND THE DEPARTMENT

OF HEALTH

FIND SOME VALUE IN HAVING THIS INFORMATION.

I THINK THIS GOES ALSO TO PROTECTING WOMEN'S HEALTH.

IF ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THEY COLLECT THIS DATA IS TO MAKE SURE ABORTION IS SAFE; AND SO

I THINK THERE'S VALUE IN THAT

DATA. REPRESENTATIVE SMITH >> REPRESENTATIVE SMITH: COULD WE HAVE THE DEPARTMENT COME DOWN AND TESTIFY AS TO

THE LENGTH

OF TIME THIS REPORT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE? >> CHAIR: CERTAINLY.

MR. POLLOCK

THE CLOSEST ONE TO THE CHAIR. I DON'T KNOW IF HE WANTS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION?

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

PLEASE; INTRODUCE YOURSELF WITH THE TAPE AND PROCEED WITH THE TESTIMONY >> TESTIFIER: I'M CAROL

I CHECKED

I HAVE MANAGE THE COLLECTION OF THE DATA

AND I PRODUCE THE ANNUAL

ABORTION REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE.

>> CHAIR: OKAY

GOOD REPRESENTATIVE

SMITH DID YOU WANT TO ASK A QUESTION?

>> REPRESENTATIVE SMITH HOW LONG HAS THIS REPORT OF INDUCED

ABORTION HAS THIS BEEN

EXISTED TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE? >> TESTIFIER: THE DATA WAS FIRST COLLECTED ON THIS FORM IN OCTOBER 1990 TO THE FIRST PUBLISHED REPORT COVER THOSE LAST FEW MONTHS OF 1998

AND ALL OF 1999. IT'S BEEN AN ANNUAL REPORT SINCE THAT TIME.

>> CHAIR: THANK YOU REPRESENTATIVE SMITH >> REPRESENTATIVE SMITH: IN ADDITION; HOW MANY BREACHES OF DATA SECURITY HAVE THERE BEEN

REPORTED TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE SINCE OCTOBER 1998?

>> TESTIFIER: THERE HAVE

BEEN NONE.

>> CHAIR: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER MEMBER

QUESTIONS? REPRESENTATIVE

O'NEILL >> REPRESENTATIVE

O'NEILL I THOUGHT WE HEARD IN THE TESTIMONY NOT FROM THE HEALTH THE VARMINT BUT

I MAY HAVE MISSED UNDERSTOOD BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT ONE THIRD

OF ABORTIONS FROM TELEMEDICINE

WAS THAT; NO? MAYBE YOU COULD TESTIFY AS TO HOW MANY YOU THINK

ARE VIA TELEMEDICINE; AND HOW MANY ABORTIONS WERE MISSING IN THIS REPORT RIGHT NOW

WERE OF REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN KNOWS

THAT ANSWER?

>> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN:

I BELIEVE IT WAS

MEDICINAL ABORTIONS WHICH ARE

WITH TELEMEDICINE ABORTION WOULD BE.

SO IT'S NOT THAT ONE TOWARD

OF ABORTIONS ARE TELEMEDICINE. BUT THAT THEY ARE PERFORMED WITH

MEDICINAL

-WITH DRUGS-AND THOSE DRUGS CAN BE USED IN A

TELEMEDICINE ABORTION.

IF THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION?

>> REPRESENTATIVE O'NEILL:

SO THERE'S A POTENTIAL WE COULD BE MISSING ONE THIRD OF ALL THE ABORTIONS IF WE DON'T

CHANGE THIS THAT'S THE POTENTIAL

IS THERE?

WERE DEFINITELY MISSING A WHOLE LOT. >> REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN:

I DON'T BELIEVE SO BUT I CAN DEFER TO THE APARTMENT ON THE I WILL SAY THAT I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW; THE METHOD OF ABORTION IS

REPORTED SO IN THE REPORT THERE'S A TABLE THAT SHOWS THE

METHOD INCLUDING

NON--I THINK IT'S NONSURGICAL OR MEDICINAL.

WITHIN THAT THAT'S WHERE

YOU WOULD

HAVE TELEMEDICINE ABORTION SHOW UP. ALL OF THOSE

I WOULD HOPE ARE

BEING REPORTED AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHICH ONES ARE BEING DONE VIA

WEBCAM AND TELEMEDICINE >> CHAIR: TO THE TESTIFIER FROM THE DEPARTMENT THEM YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT?

OTHERWISE WILL BRING UP THE PREVIOUS TESTIFIER.

>> TESTIFIER: TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE ALL ABORTIONS PERFORMED IN MINNESOTA ARE

REPORTED TO US. THE PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU ARE REFERRING TO US THAT'S MISSING WE DO NOT COLLECT

INFORMATION ON WHETHER THE PHYSICIAN OR THE PATIENT OR

AT THE

LOCATION. >> CHAIR: THANK

YOU. REPRESENTATIVE MARIANI ANY

FOLLOW-UP? OKAY; THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE

ANDREA LEDGER. THANK YOU FOR

BEING HERE. MS. LEDGER; DID

YOU TESTIFY THAT IN IOWA THEY HAVE

A COUNT ON HOW MANY ABORTIONS ARE PERFORMED BY TELEMEDICINE

? >> TESTIFIER: KNOW. TO CLEAR UP THE CONFUSION;

THE COUNT I REPORTED WAS THE ONE THIRD OF ABORTIONS IN MINNESOTA

ARE PERFORMED VIA MEDICATION

NOT SURGICAL. THE DEPARTMENT

JUST TESTIFIED. THAT METHOD IS THE

METHOD USED IN TELEMEDICINE THE ONLY ISSUE WOULD BE WHERE THE DOCTOR AND THE PATIENT

ARE LOCATED. THAT IS WHERE

THE TELEMEDICINE ANGLE COMES IN. THE INFORMATION ABOUT IOWA

WAS FROM AN IOWA STUDY;

AND LET ME LOOK BACK AND FIND OUT -EXCUSE

ME - IN IOWA STUDY

INDICATES THE POUND 600 WOMEN

THERE UTILIZE

ABORTION VIA TELEMEDICINE AT COMPARABLE CLINICAL OUTCOMES TO THOSE

THAT SAW THE DOCTOR IN PERSON

>> CHAIR:

SO THERE WAS INFORMATION COLLECTED IN THE STATE OF IOWA THAT

600 ABORTIONS WERE DONE VIA

TELEMEDICINE. THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST DATA. IS THAT CORRECT?

>> TESTIFIER: IT WAS A

CLINICAL

STUDY. [INAUDIBLE] ANY OTHER CLINICAL STUDY THAT TAKES

INTO [INAUDIBLE]

WITH THE DATA COLLECTION PIECE.

>> CHAIR: OKAY. WELL I THINK

YOU KNOW IOWA SAW IT AS A

VALUABLE IN INFORMATION

TO HAVE IT I DON'T SEE WHITE MINNESOTA SHOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY TO ANY OTHER MEMBER QUESTIONS? REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM

BE DIVVY HILSTROM: I DON'T KNOW IF MS. LEDGER KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION BUT THE DAY IDENTIFY THE DOCTOR AND

THE PATIENT CODE IN

THE INFORMATION THAT THEY COLLECTED OR WAS THERE

ANY WAY-ANY REASON THE STATE WOULD'VE HAD

THAT INFORMATION IN THE STUDY

BECAUSE MEMBERS THAT'S WHAT WHERE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE. SHOULD GOVERNMENT COLLECT THE DOCTOR CODE AND THE

LOCATION CODE AND DISCLOSED TO THE

PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT

YOUR CONSTITUENTS; AND AS FOLKS ON THIS COMMITTEE WHO

DON'T LIKE IT WHEN GOVERNMENT COLLECTS DATA ABOUT THEIR CITIZENS; I FIND THIS INTERESTING. SO; DOES THE GOVERNMENT IN IOWA COLLECT THIS DATA ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHERE PERFORMING-

>> TESTIFIER:

I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT

I WAS STATE STATUTE REQUIRES IN TERMS OF REPORTING I CAN SAY THAT TH

E INFORMATION COLLECTED IN

THIS STUDY WAS A CLINICAL STUDY.

THAT PATIENTS OPTED INTO. SO

THEY CHOSE TO GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO THE RESEARCHER

WHO WERE PERFORMING THE STUDY.

>> CHAIR: THANK YOU. REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM DO YOU CONSIDER ABORTION WOMEN'S HEALTH? >> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM: MDM. CHAIRMAN; I BELIEVE THAT

THINGS THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN DOCTORS AND PATIENTS

ARE BETWEEN THE DOCTOR AND THE PATIENT AND MME. CHAIRMAN; I HAVE KNOWN YOU FOR A LONG TIME TO NOT WANT TO DISCLOSE WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN DOCTORS AND PATIENTS. EXCEPT IN THIS CASE. SO MME. CHAIRMAN; I BELIEVE WE NEED TO PROTECT WOMEN'S ACCESS

TO ALL FORMS OF HEALTHCARE. WE ARE NOT HERE REGULATING

OR SAYING ANY TIME A MALE HAS A VASECTOMY OR ANYTIME A MEAL GETS VIAGRA THEY SHOULD BE PLACED IN A DATABASE

THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE SAYING YOUR MME. CHAIRMAN. WHEN A WOMEN RECEIVES A PARTICULAR TYPE OF HEALTHCARE SHE SHOULD BE PLACED IN A STATE

DATABASE. WHEN A DOCTOR PERFORMS A PARTICULAR TYPE OF HEALTHCARE; HE SHOULD BE PLACED IN A STATE DATABASE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU

ARE DOING. >> CHAIR: THANK YOU BE OKAY IF WE DID NOT HAVE THIS FORM?

AND NONE OF THESE RECORDS WERE KEPT? >> REPRESENTATIVE HILSTROM I HAVE LONG SINCE SUPPORTED PEOPLE'S RIGHTS TO THEIR DATA PRIVACY IN THEIR HEALTHCARE. IT

IS INTERESTING THAT WERE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WANT TO ACCESS

PRESCRIPTION MONITORING

WHICH WE ALREADY COLLECT AND MME. CHAIRMAN YOU WOULD EVEN A GOT

TO BE ONE

BAKER'S BILL HEARINGS WERE OFFERING THAT AS AN AMENDMENT ON DOWN THE FLOOR TODAY SO IT'S OKAY TO COLLECT ALL THIS DATA

AND DISCLOSE IT TO THE PUBLIC

WITH A RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR KIND OF PROCEDURE; BUT IT'S NOT OKAY WHEN IT COMES TO EVEN A PRESCRIPTION BILLS FOR OPIOID ADDICTION.

>> CHAIR: I WOULD ARGUE

THE DEPARTMENT KEEPS-THE

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH KEEPS A LOT OF

DATA THAT MANY OF US DISAGREE WITH

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. SO THE NEWBORN SCREENING IS ONE

OF THOSE. I'M SURE THAT IF WE OFFERED A BILL ON THAT EVERYONE

-EVERYONE WOULD AGREE THAT THEY SHOULD BE COLLECTING THE DATA.

[INAUDIBLE] I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S INCONSISTENCY

THROUGHOUT LAW.

REPRESENTATIVE WHELAN I WILL GIVE YOU A

LAST WORD.

BTV WHELAN: THANK YOU MEMBERS AND YOUR TESTIFIER FOR ENGAGEMENT ON THE TOPIC.

I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY ONE MORE TIME

CURRENT STATUTE DOES REQUIRE

THAT ANY DATA THAT COULD REASONABLY LEAD TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL PERFORMING RECEIVING AN ABORTION

WOULD NOT BE MADE PUBLIC

AS URBAN

A FEW INSINUATIONS. THAT THIS COULD BE LEAKED AND MADE PUBLIC AND THAT IS NOT AT ALL WITH THIS BILL DOES; NOR WOULD IT IS SEEKING TO DO.

FURTHERMORE THEY FOUND SOME OF THE COMMENTS MADE REGARDING WHY

WE DO

DIFFERENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROCEDURE VERSUS

OTHER PROCEDURES AS HAS ALSO BEEN

EITHER STATED OR LISA

ALLUDED TO; THERE IS A

DIFFERENCE REGARDING

THE ABORTION PROCEDURE IN THE MINDS OF MANY NOT NECESSARILY EVERYONE IN THE

ROOMS OF BUT IN THE MINDS

OF MANY OF MYSELF AND MANY

MY CONSTITUENTS'S BABY ONE INDIVIDUAL. IT'S A WOMAN AND

ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHICH COULD BE A MAN OR WOMAN. A BABY.

SO THIS IS A DIFFERENCE AND IT

IS IMPORTANT THAT WE COLLECT

THIS INFORMATION SO THAT WE AS

How to Create a Passion Focused Career over 50! Baby Boomers Working After 50 - Duration: 8:32.

Does the idea of creating a dream

career after 50 sound like a pipe dream?

Tune in today for some words of

encouragement on why it is possible!

we're back with John Tarnoff talking

about his book Boomer Reinvention and

what we go through to relaunch a second

career so John thanks for staying with

us again, sure great to be here! well you

took us through the the five steps

basically that you cover in your book in

our last segment, what I want to talk

about now is really get your input on

you know people will hear this and yeah

that sounds good but they don't believe

that they can do it, what what do you say

to those who have just become discouraged?

well, first of all, this is really important and I

think that, I really appreciate you taking

us down down this path because this is

really this is the heart of it and it is

difficult, this is not for the faint of

heart right and I I really recognize

in talking about this concept of

reinvention that I am setting a high bar

in a certain way, and but then again as a

coach I think that's kind of what a

coach is supposed to do, it's really

about really painting the picture of

what that goal can be what this life

goal career goal can be for everyone and

recognizing that it is not an easy

necessarily an easy road to hoe, there are going

to be pitfalls along the way they're

going to be times where you fall down

times where we pick yourself up but one

of the things that I have discovered in

in developing this program and talking

to people and doing the research is that

people are successful doing this and

there's a light bulb that you may not

have seen go off just yet, but I have to

say I see this happen all the time I see

this with my clients I see this with

people that I've talked to I see this in

the research, people are much more able

to pick themselves up reinvent their

careers pivot to new

ideas about who they are, or what

they're going to do at this age then at

earlier ages, so the Ewing Marion

Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City focuses

on entrepreneurship, and their numbers

all point to the fact that older

entrepreneurs are up to twice as

successful as younger entrepreneurs,

that's great that's great to know, we

have this street culture out there which

which celebrates the 21 year old

billionaire entrepreneur with the great

social media business, right but for

every one of those kids who pushes

through there are thousands of them who

are clueless who don't make it, who wind

up going to work at a desk somewhere and

who may bless them, quit in six months

to go start another one try to start

another one, and I love Millennials I

teach Millennials in my the graduate

program that I co-run for Carnegie

Mellon University here in Los Angeles,

I have nothing against Millennials at all, I

think they're great and I think

there's a lot we can learn by working

with Millennials, and there's a lot they can

learn from us, exactly! But but we have

the chops and I think one of the most

important things that we need to do is

to recognize that we have the chops

that's the big hurdle that a lot of

people have to get over which is this

discouragement and the discouragement

comes from the media it comes from the

experiences that we're having and the

companies that we work at where we're

being looked at increasingly perhaps in

some cases as no longer fitting in

people are expecting us to just somehow

pick up and go away because we're

supposed to there's a lot of negative

messaging that goes on and we tend to

believe it so, I don't want to go on too

long about this but I just really want

to be encouraging to people and say that

you can do this, there are lots of

different ways of getting into it, my

book is one way, there there I'm not

saying it's the only way but I think we

do have to give it shot, yeah

and you know to your point to get that

positive reinforcement, seek that positive

reinforcement I mean I you know again

you're speaking to the choir here you

know 2nd Act is all about life

after 50, I changed everything and no,

it's not for the faint of heart and you

know one of the best things about for me

is talking to people like you and having

you know these incredible motivational

inspirational people that I get to meet

all the time and that's one of the

things I want to do with this program is

to hopefully provide information like

today to encourage people to be able to

do so! It really is about the encouragement

because the more you hear it

maybe you'll maybe this is a show where

you go okay I've heard enough people

saying I can do it maybe I actually can

do it, yeah one other thing that was in

your book that really kind of hit home

for me like an aha was, and I maybe I'm

speaking more for myself but you know I was

intimidated with technology but you know

I had to constantly relearn and what

I've learned in the last five years is

incredible you know in terms of technology

but that we actually invented this, we

we did this, Bill Gates, Jobs, Jeff Bezos

they're all Boomers, yeah exactly and

that is it's that we're I think what did

you call it, that our kids are the

natives, and we are ... right well

there's this whole thing in the economy,

in HR about digital natives yeah that

you'll see this in job postings and

it's very insidious this idea that

digital natives these kids well they

grow up with technology they really

understand technology whereas people who

didn't grow up with technology, sorry to

tell you you know your your kind of

outmoded, and I resent this incredibly as

you might as you might guess, yes! And I

think the more important question that

is not being asked in too many quarters

is, you may have grown up with technology

but do you know what to do it? and what is

actually happening in companies is that

people are finding that that younger

employees need to learn just as much as

older employees about how to actually be

effective and productive using

technology and just because you know how

to create a collage on Instagram

doesn't mean that you're going to be

able to run a team meeting to sign a

customer, exactly! In closing, what what

are your words of wisdom that you feel

are most applicable to what we're

talking about today to our audience? Just

as possible just that it really is

possible and that you need to start now

you know if you're over 50 this is

really the time to start planning that

next step and don't put it off don't

make any precipitous moves,

any precipitous moves, but

it's time to start planning and start

thinking about it, so one of the things I

encourage people to do in the book is

the first step is to start a journal and

I talked about the technique the

drilling techniques specifically in the

book but to really start charting your

progress and your thoughts towards this

reinvention this pivot this this next

level of career that you want to create

for yourself! yeah and if you have those

voices in your head and that burning

desire start listening to them and

start taking action! yeah okay well John I mean

I could go on talk to you for forever

and then there's that you know there's

actually a lot more I would like to

discuss with you maybe on future

episodes and I hope you will come back,

for people that want to get in touch

with John we will have all of his

information linked on our website and

the link below and I encourage you to

pick up the book it's an incredible read

and you will get you will get something

out of it that might take you in that

direction, so John thank you, and we'll see you

hopefully soon, on another episode

of 2nd Act TV! Absolutely!

Study: Wine Is A Workout For The Brain - Duration: 2:54.

IF YOUR KIDS ARE OBSESSED

WITH VIDEO GAMES, MAYBE THEY

CAN GET A SCHOLARSHIP.

GOOD NEWS FOR MY KIDS.

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT

WORKING OUT, WINE PROBABLY

ISN'T THE FIRST THING THAT POPS

INTO YOUR HEAD.

NEW RESEARCH SAYS WINE GIVES

YOUR BRAIN A REAL WORKOUT.

THE YALE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE --

THIS IS LEGITIMATE -- SAYS THE

OVERALL PROCESS OF DRINKING

WINE ENGAGES THE BRAIN MORE

THAN LISTENING TO MUSIC OR

SOLVING TOUGH MATH PROBLEMS.

HE HAS BEEN STUDYING -- HE

SPENT YEARS STUDYING HOW THE

BRAIN PROCESSES FLAVOR.

SURE.

THAT'S HIS AREA OF STUDY.

WHAT HE FOUND WITH WINE IS THAT

WINE MOLECULES THEMSELVES DON'T

HAVE ANY FLAVOR.

WE DRINK THE WINE AND THEN OUR

BRAIN MAKES UP WHAT THAT FLAVOR

IS TO US.

IT'S SIMILAR IN THE WAY THAT

YOU SEE COLOR.

YOUR BRAIN SEES THAT IN A

CERTAIN WAY.

SO THE WINE MOLECULES.

YOU'RE WEARING BLUE TODAY.

I AM.

THE WINE MOLECULES GO OVER

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF

RECEPTORS IN YOUR MOUTH BUT

ALSO IT'S PART OF THE SMELL

THAT HAPPENS.

WHAT THAT DOES IS IT TRIGGERS

ALL THESE AREAS IN YOUR BRAIN

LIKE SENSORY, EMOTIONAL AND

THEN THAT IS WHAT EVENTUALLY

CREATES THE TASTE.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE

SAID.

WE'VE ALL HAD THAT GLASS OF

WINE WHERE WE HAD IT ON A

SPECIAL VACATION OR A SPECIAL

MOLT.

AND IT ALWAYS TASTES BETTER

BECAUSE IT TRIGGERS THAT

MEMORY.

AND YOU THINK ABOUT THE MENTAL

GYMNASTICS THAT GOES ON IF

YOU'RE TASTING WINE CRITICALLY.

IT'S DIFFERENT THAN IF YOU'RE

JUST -- A LITTLE BOONE'S FARM

DOWN THE HATCH.

YOU HAVE TO DO IT IN SMALL

SIPS TOO.

I NEVER SMELL THE WINE

BEFORE I TASTE IF.

YOU NEED TO.

YOU NEED TO GIVE YOUR BRAIN

MORE OF A WORKOUT.

DO WHATEVER.

HAVE FUN.

ENJOY WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

THIS IS FASCINATING THE WAY

YOUR BRAIN PROCESSES THE

FLAVORS.

THERE'S JUST THE FACT THAT

YOUR BRAIN ACTUALLY MAKES IT UP

AND THAT YOU COULD BE TASTING

SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM

SOMEONE ELSE.

THEY COMPARED IT TO DRINKING

WINE IS LIKE BURPIES FOR YOUR

BRAIN.

JASON, I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE

THOSE.

YOU CAN DO THEM ANYWHERE.

JUST LIKE YOU CAN DRINK WINE

ANYWHERE.

EXCEPT IN YOUR CAR.

AND IT WORKS THE ENTIRE BODY.

JUST LIKE DRINKING WINE WORKS

THE ENTIRE BRAIN.

THAT'S HOW I DO ALL MY

WORKOUTS.

IT DOES MAKE YOU WONDER

THOUGH WHEN YOU THINK THAT YOUR

BRAIN IS BRINGING ALL THESE

DIFFERENT THINGS IN TO CREATE

AN IDEA OF FLAVOR.

YOU WONDER IS THERE AN

OBJECTIVE MEASURE OF BEING ABLE

TO SAY THIS IS GOOD OR THIS IS

NOT.

AS SOMEONE WHO IS A FOOD CRITIC

AND PART OF MY LIFE, THIS IS

SOMETHING I THINK ABOUT A LOT

LIKE IS THERE AN OBJECTIVE VIEW

WHERE YOU CAN SAY LIKE THIS IS

GOOD OR BAD.

I WONDER IF THERE ARE JUST

CERTAIN KIND OF FLAVOR PROFILES

THAT ARE JUST MORE PLEASING TO

PEOPLE.

IT'S INTERESTING.

BUT IT DOES REMIND YOU NOT TO

DISCOUNT THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT

OF DRINKING OR EATING.

THE MEMORIES.

THE AROMA.

ALL OF THAT.

IT ALL MATTERS.

VERY COOL.

Why Gillam Farm is Involved - Duration: 1:27.

>> Sherri Sanders: Okay, Doug.

You talked about that you're mainly a blackberry operation.

I know you have the traditional blackberries.

But you all have started expanding with these primocane blackberries, tell us about that.

>> Doug Gillam: We have.

We like the idea of being able to expand our growing season, but we have one rule of thumb

on the farm, and that's if the university is going to put the effort into breeding something

and Dr. Clark puts his seal of approval on it and releases it, we have to at least

try it to see what it can do for us here.

The one thing we have seen with the primocane blackberries is they just don't tolerate the

heat here in Arkansas very well.

And so we still believe in what Dr. Clark's doing and in the release.

We just see sort of a we've got to change the way we're going to grow these primocane

blackberries because of that issue.

So we decided trying to think of what can we do that might help with the heat that we

do get during the summer months, so we came up with this idea to try a shade cloth which

really has not worked all that well.

It does help, I guess, a little bit, but we really don't see a lot of positives that would

justify going to the expense of trying to put up a shade cloth structure.

Phoenix Spirit — Awaken It, Embrace Change And Live With Passion - Duration: 5:38.

Phoenix Spirit � Awaken It, Embrace Change And Live With Passion

All the wonders you seek are within yourself.� ~ Sir Thomas Browne

As history claims, the phoenix began as a common bird that�s nest caught on fire by

the hand of a god-like figure.

As the fire started to consume the bird, instead of suffering, she decided to dance in the

flames.

Eventually, the fire reduced the bird to ashes.

However, this was not the end of that wise bird, for she knew her ending was only the

beginning � the beginning of something greater than what she ever thought possible, a resurrection.

The seemingly done-for bird emerged, more powerful and more beautiful than ever.

The phoenix represents a rebirth.

A rebirth of the body, mind, and soul, that unleashes itself when the spirit is set free

from its self-inflicted shackles.

I can relate to this story.

For a long time I wondered if this fire burning inside me would find its way out and lead

me to fulfill my own potential.

With much struggle and countless nights awake, thinking about who I was and what it was that

I really wanted to do, I went to University and obtained a business degree.

I did this not because I really liked business but because I took the safe route, thinking

that this degree would be my best chance of getting a job with a good pay.

Although I received great grades, I was uninspired and lost, and afterward went from job to job

and bad relationship to bad relationship, trying to find my way in all the wrong places.

After a devastating breakup I realized that I needed some serious self-work.

I asked myself: Why was I continuously looking on the outside for acceptance and fulfillment?

Feeling at my lowest point, I decided I would finally work on what was inside and take a

completely different path in order to find myself.

I began a yoga teacher training course with a real Indian guru � an 88-year-old man

who looked 60 and healthier than I was � who completely changed my outlook and my life.

Skeptical at first by his humble, simplistic studio and easy yoga positions, I pushed on

and stayed dedicated.

Through practice, I could finally see through all my negative thoughts and constant worries

about the past and the future, and just be � be in the present moment.

I was freed of my own mind, and emerged as a more confident, self-loving, and less worrisome

person.

I was closer than ever to finding the real me, my own inner phoenix, my spirit.

I redirected my thoughts, let go of people and career paths that did not serve my spirit,

and embraced these choices as opportunities for growth.

I saw it all as a new beginning to put me back on my true path.

Now, instead of seeking answers and acceptance from the outside, I am true to myself and

let my own inner voice guide me throughout my life.

I learned that the fulfillment I desperately sought began with passion, regardless of what

the passion is.

I realized that my passions always lay in helping others and in the arts, especially

music.

I decided to join a choir, and to get involved in the community by volunteering at my local

YMCA.

I also found a job in a creative arts company and started teaching yoga, along with doing

some interior design on the side.

I am now in various shows with the choir around my city, am in more shape thanks to yoga and

my free gym membership at the Y, and have a healthier and happier work-life balance.

You can do something with what you enjoy doing, and it will eventually lead you to a place

you never dreamed of.

We all owe it to ourselves to put to use our gifts, because that�s why we have them!

Let me tell you a secret about the phoenix: she�s in all of us.

She�s there, just waiting to be unleashed.

That fiery feeling inside of us, wanting to change our lives, feeling as though something

is missing, this is the pre-condition of a radical change that is naturally starting

to occur in your life.

It is the passion within you waiting to be expressed, and ultimately the ending of the

old you.

Of course, one of the scariest things in life is change, but to embrace change is to embrace

life.

To be true to the feeling inside you, urging you to take another road if you are going

down the wrong one is to be true to yourself.

How do you act upon this inner change burning inside you?

The answer is simpler than you think.

Start by more frequently pursuing things that make you happy.

As you move forward, you might start hearing those negative voices inside your head.

That is normal and can be helped!

Take a yoga class, or simply spend some quiet time alone listening to some soothing music

to help clear your mind, and pray.

Pay no mind to others� opinions, or what others believe to be the right path for you.

You can always start small.

Sometimes just being a part of what you love can be enough.

I have always wanted to be a singer, and just being able to sing for people within a group

fulfills my need.

I always have a need to make a difference in the world, and in my way I am doing so

by volunteering for only three hours a week for a cause that I believe in, which to me

is payment to my soul.

Eventually doing these things that I loved uplifted me and set me back on my path.

No one can know what truly makes you happy and alive except you.

Eventually, your happiness will be enough to make anyone who doubted your choices come

around�and your joy will be contagious to them, as well.

Whether it be cooking, decorating, being with animals, or playing music, find a way to awaken

that spark within you, and that glow will continue to grow.

Through that growth you will start to awaken the phoenix within you, inspire others to

do the same, and become stronger and more self-fulfilled than ever.

Balanced relationship is not balanced at all l John Gottman - Duration: 1:37.

Researchers were doing a very good experiment, actually a research, on what make people happy.

And how a day of a happy or sad person look like.

What is the amount of good and bad things or events that happens to each one of them.

And the results were really surprising.

Because what would you think?

I was thinking that it's probably 50/50.

So if it's 50/50 you are neutral, you are not happy, you are not sad but somewhere in

the middle.

But it's actually not like this.

The ration is actually 1 to 3 by good events and the bad one.

So we need 3 times more good events happening to us to balance one bad one that happens.

This is really surprising because even if the ratio is 1 to 2 between the good and the

bad, we are still gonna be miserable.

Even if we have twice more good things happening to us.

That's really surprising.

So if something bad happens to us we need three times more good things that day.

And if that's not enough...

Here is an even more surprising thing.

In marriage, the stakes are even higher.

And the ratio, being before 1 to 3, is in marriage of 1 to 5.

So for one bad thing that your husband or your wife does, they need to do 5 good things,

just to balance out, for you to be happy.

If they just do 4 you're still gonna be miserable, and you're gonna think that your marriage

is shit.

And then we wonder why so many marriages fail.

Crazy!

Every Rolex Tells A Story – Sylvia Earle - Duration: 1:01.

I remember the moment when I first saw a watch like this,

and was so impressed that I said: "I want one too".

It's when I was diving in the Florida Keys with a very good friend.

I thought she had forgotten to take her watch off before diving

and then I realised: it's a Rolex.

I acquired one soon thereafter.

This beautiful Rolex has been on expeditions around the world,

to the Arctic and the Artarctic, to the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean,

deep within the Pacific Ocean...

It's been with me aboard probably more than 30 submarines,

lived under water with me,

It's been with me to meet with people who have great influence.

But do you know the most important time?

It's probably out there, somewhere in the future.

You never know where you're going to go next.
