>> actually my first time here. >> here you are then. change into a gown and the doctor will see you soon. >> just when you thought the battle over obamacare couldn't get any nastier. consider this, this video was posted on youtube, together with one on a young man getting a prostate exam. these videos weren't made by a far out fringe group. instead, they are part of a well organize straight campaign to get young people not to buy health insurance. without them, obamacare would have a hard time succeeding. comment an hour surfing around, along the scarier ones are ones

that argue it's a pocketbook issue. some are orchestrated. and self-styled newscasts, equating obamacare with socialism. >> this provision forces americans to sell things high or unfortunate circumstances is passed along to everyone else. >> the group that made the uncle sam videos, generation opportunity, ha has ties to charles and david coke. the white house has been making an efforts of its own to reach young people, including reminding them of one easy way they can get insurance. >> young people can stay son their parents plan until the they reach 26. >> john burnsteel is with the ad agency in louisville that put together the ad campaign.

thing, everyone should have health insurance whether through obamacare or elsewhere. if you don't you risk are financial ruin. they are using young people as pawns and putting them many substantially at risk. i think the young people are important to the success of obamacare but it's not life or death. they could have as little as half the number that they would like to have and it would still not be fatal to the program, would cause rates to go up smoo little bit -- >> the obama mirgs say they need a certain percentage between 18 and 24, could the program be a disaster? how can you say it won't be? >> there have been projections that have been done, for example, the kaiser family foundation has done excellent economic forecast, and show that

even if a half of that amount fail to show up, it won't break the bank. it's really a long term issue, if the this is still going on five years from now are its's not going to be a problem. >> when the plan all rolled out awld the media attention was certainly on the website. now this is what the people were talking about tables. do you think the young people actually understand their options at this point? >> i think that very few people truly understand their options. this is so complicated. but young people are particularly difficult to reach, whether it's voting or whether it's taxing or whether it's health insurance. they don't want to be bothered the same way that older people go. but what's important here is not necessarily that we reach young people. it's that we reach healthy people. we want healthy pete people to balance outs the sick people

regardless of the age of those beings health people. so the important thing is to watch young people, older people who don't necessarily feel like they need market@some point, have particularly tilt in the future. >> could the obamacare administration have done something different? >> no, they have done terrible things with communication since day 1. some people don't understand why the law exists even, they are particularly not focus hing ofor young people, are signing up in a policy is in their interest. they have made of a few spore sattic interest, you reag should be part of this gut they haven't really explained it. >> i would like your opinion on whether or not you believe some of the problems with obamacare will actually help or hurt

progressives that would like to see universal health care in the future? >> i think ul ly it hurt them. id know there are something have aggressists think that obamacare if that doesn't work then there wirl be a point of can politicians would just back away from it. there is a lot at risk here. >> that is dr. robert field, drexel university of public health. thanks for being with us tonight. >> happy to be here. >> downtown happy make its final return. consider this: the news of the day plus so much more. >> we begin with the government shutdown. >> answers to the questions no

and told me to get in. and i said, why? what's the matter? and he said, "we do not eat ice lollies on the street." well, in california you do all the time! but not by my grandparents' code of behavior. which was more edwardian than mine. >> rich richmond, virginia was not one to tear down the past. the premier of season 4 of downton abbey. >> it's so unattainably foreign to so many americans. it's a level of refinement that people just aren't going to meet day-to-day. i think that's really exciting. and then to see people actually be themselves inside this area of re79 layer of refinement, it's extraordinary. >> getting it right or wrong is

getting period clothes don't necessarily make the man or woman they do help. it does however require losing the jeans and the tee shirt. >> there's a whole facade of elegance that people are dying to peel away, see who the real person is, see what their faults are. and they all have faults. their clothes hide that. >> i feel like i'm living in the wrong era, back at the turn of the century. >> the show is eternal fantasy, but nobody's lives were perfect, even if you had money and titles, we like to pretend we're something that we are not for a few hours and then go to our regular lives. >> maymont where the upstairs downstairs lives that were lived here echo the characters we've conto know on downton abbey. keeping the history close as the

>> we're just going to have to do it, right? i could've chosen better underwear. are you prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice? >> you can do anything except for politics. >> when you kind of imagine what a nuclear disaster would look like, it's something like this. so how long have you been coming and getting pedicures for? >> you gotta take care of these bad boys. >> don't worry mum, everything's cool.
