>> stephanie: for gun-control supporter -- now the straw purchasing bill could be in danger because of nra demands to change the language that dealers would have to prove -- the bill has written would penalize somebody who purchases a gun -- the nra argues this language could penalize people unfairly. reports suggested it would water down current law making it harder not easier to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. i mean that's -- that was at least the one thing we thought we were going to get an actual background check. anyway the president again. >> obama: there's no reason we can't do this unless politics is getting in the way. >> stephanie: ya think?

but the folks that are involved the guys that can implement any gun control, they live in wealthy communities. and i don't think they feel the impact. >> stephanie: well but look at what connecticut just got done. they will expand the existing assault weapons ban, limit magazines, and require universal background checks -- it's the toughest in the history, and i get it. people go it's a different kind of state, but why can't we do that nationally? >> caller: exactly. and one more thing i have a very special woman sitting next to me that i would like to make a few comments. i have with me miss sarah palin.

middle east is not new -- >> right. and that is being taken care of. he can do more than one thing at once you know? >> so he shouldn't talk about gun violence, because other stuff is going on. >> stephanie: yeah, if you follow the nra rules you need to give north korea more nukes. >> that's right. chuck hagel. >> they have nuclear capacity now. they have missile-delivery capacity now, and so as they have ratcheted up their bellicose dangerous rhetoric and some of the actions they have taken over the last few weeks present a real and clear danger and threat to the interests certainly of our allies starting with south korea, and japan, and also the threats that

[♪ "world news tonight" theme ♪] >> stephanie: you mentioned this to us yesterday, it's really interesting about the affordable care act. most individual health insurance isn't good enough for obamacare.

please, por, que, explain. >> because there are crappy plans out there. you are going to find out that what you are getting is not very good, and usually the sad part is people don't find this out until they get sick and need coverage. you get these plans that have a small -- what is the word i'm looking for -- your premium payments are small, but your out of pocket experiences are really high, or your copays are high or your prescription drug costs are high. >> stephanie: right. nearly all plans will be required to cover an array of essential services. a lot of plans -- like you were saying they don't cover any of that now. because people need to be careful, they are paying a higher premium but a lot of what is out there is crap now.

>> right. you have to do a cost benefit analysis. i have a higher premium, but all of these basics are covered. it's very sneaky. it's something that i learned from wendell potter, the health insurance pr executive who has been very vocal about the deceit of the insurance industry. and he taught us that these plans that the insurance company sell that they dress up to make it look like it is a good deal and ultimately you just pay a lot of money that doesn't do anything for you when you need it. >> stephanie: right. now they buy a policy and when they go sick they may go break anyway. >> yeah, same with the health saving

savings account too. you are not getting the coverage you need. the whole idea behind health insurance is you buy -- it's like saving for a rainy day. so you assume it's going to be there when you need it. and if anybody listening has gotten sick with an insurance plan, channelses are at some point do you have had to argue over getting something covered. even things that the doctor says you need. there is the irony. your doctor says you need a procedure, and the insurance company says i'm sorry, we're not going to pay for that. snee yeah, what is the point of some of these plans when someone else -- i just quoted -- says you going to go broke anyway. >> yeah people go broke every 30 seconds in the united states because of medical expenses. get admitted to the hospital without sufficient coverage and you are in debt overnight. >> stephanie: kathleen said this last week, unless you get hit by

a bus, hardly anything is covered, right? >> right. and it gets expensive really quickly. that's part of the problem with our health care system in general. but the bills are extraordinary. i personally -- one of the things that drove me into the health care fight was i had an emergency situation back in 2001, and i didn't have health insurance at the time, because i was a freelancer i got sick, and overnight i was $3,500 in debt because i had no health insurance. >> stephanie: yeah. well, and thank got cnn isn't paying me because i would have gotten fired yesterday for saying douche bag. >> you are fired! >> you have to say d-bag. >> or phenomenon min high gien product -- >> no, that sounds like you
