register. >> i have shopped at costco. neil: unionized? >> yes. >> interesting. see you tomorrow, with much more. gerri: hello. i'm gerri willis. tonight on "the willis report" the policies gone haywire. a b bank charging higher loan rates for white men and married couples. also, the same medical procedure, but one costs dozens more. now, new push for honest pricing in health care. and should you buy health insurance for your pet? we will have the case tonight on "the willis report". gerri: first tonight, we report a lot here about consumers and

products. what a few were the product? well, to some companies you are. there is a new effort to crack down on what they called a data brokers, companies tt troll the internet scring up every bit of data connected to you and selling it to the highest bidder there are rules that these companies must follow. the federal trade commission just tested some well-known websites to see how well they were following these rules. turns out they weren't. with us now to privacy expert at the aclu. thanks for coming on the show. what is t federal trade commission fined? palin these guys breaking the rules? >> basically there were not playing by the rules that your suppose to when you are doing a background check for providing information for insurance or financial information. there were not making sure that information was accurate, letting the subjects othe investigations know about it and give them a chance to contest an accurate information. gerri: there are all kinds of data brokers, but one of the

rules about this is that individuals, consumers are supposed to know when they affect their egibility for insurance, credit, or employment none of that is going on. the ftc on its launch, again, some of these data brokers. citing these companies cannot suing them, not even investigating them, what do you make of the state of play for data brokers? it sounds like it still had the upperand. >> well, i think this is an investigation. it's a good first at. we clearly need to take a broader look at the industry. it is not just -- clearly there is a problem when somebody is going tolacklist you. you can't get a job because there is an curate information and a data broker file. that's a big deal. it's also a big deal if you don't know that, for example, someone making an offer knows exactly homuch money you make and they know whether they can give you a $10 coupon or $1

coupon based upon the fact that they know your salary, that's a pretty big disparity between the amount of power and information that you have as a consumer and a company has. gerri: you know, for consumers, thiss a big black hole for consumers. we have no idea what kind of information they're trading, an frankly at think you would be appalled to know just how much detail. you mentioned wage information. i once interviewed a woman whose husband was denied a job because of inaccurate information in one of these reports. they said her husband had a prison record and he did not. he was -- the job offer that was on the table was taken away. this can affect you, real people out there for a single day. here is the pushed back. some of these comnies are getting tonight. we will read from people search now. this is one of the companies that the sec has trained its sights on. we are not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the fair credit reporting act. this side cannot be used for employment democratic and martin and st. or any related purpose.

c'mon. that is exactly what they do for a living. >> you know, it's good to understand how the ftc determine this. they send people and and asked about the services. they actively wind and tried to basically get a credit report or get information. clear that those testers found things and it found companies acting ways that they should not be. there's definitely mor here. gerri: this is a huge industry, some $2 billion a year on personal data collected by outside firms, and that is in the entire story. is this a industry that is dealing out information, not paying as ford, and trying to avoid any government oversight, and the peak behind the covers of what is going on? >> i think it is. i mean, you should be able to access at minimum your record.

you should know what's in there about you. just seems like a basic peace. you cannot get that from almost any data broker today. we can start there and then find out all the uses this information is being put to prevent damage might be in a position to understand what we can do to control the information. gerri: i wanted to give what people search now have on me, but then i would have to pay money and give them my credit card number to do it. i was about to do that. >> denied on plan you pair your credit card information and probably end up in the san record. gerri: exactly. thank you for coming on. rick information. all right. some web sites clearly not following the law. one bank tried to comply with the fair lending laws a it backfired. thisis amazing story. a small community bank in maryland has been cited by federal regulators for discriminating against white man and married couples i a lending

program cated specifically to help minorities and women. with more on this, editor in chiefor the american banker. welcome back to michele. this sounds so crazy. what's going on? >> reall we have is obviously bankers have done a lot of bad things. we need themo land. they're facing an untenable situation. the try to help disadvantaged and minority groups and get in trouble because they're discriminating against white men. if they don't in their lending standards are such that some people are favored over others. a no win situation. gerri: the government out of control, a government that can't figure out what is common sense. so 6,000 people involved in this program, something like this. the bank had to repay people. >> on the enough they got like four times as much as people got no foreclosure settlement for losing entire house. this was just because they paid a little bit more for mortgage loans. gerri: i see bankers, lenders who are scared to do anything at

all because they think it might be breaking the rules. the tragedy of that is the sum many of these are small lenders. >> and i don't really have the infrastructure the figure out what to do with the big lenders to. on the one hand, if they stick to plain vanilla loans what you end up with is the mostly going to go to upper-middle-class wealthy people. if it and start giving advantages, you have a situation like this where man bites dog and the regulators come back and say you can't do that either. gerri: thesere actually fair lending laws. >> exaly. gerri: what is interesting is there is an opponent to the president's cabinet and is involved in this debate. >> compress command he has been very much aggressively beyond this. there have been questions about whether he went too far and had some quid pro pros with the city of st. paul in minnesota to try to push these laws. the supreme court was thinking about possibly overturning this law, it's called dispara impact. doesn't matter what your trying to do. matters with the result is.

gerri: at the endf the day with a story not too long ago about how banks are being told that they have to guess the race and gender of people applying for loans. why? hano idea. seems like we have gone off the deep end when it comes to these issues. >> and on the one hand the banks are told you need to land, land, land and on the other hand, in tellinthem that you lent too much before. they tried to stick to what is really meat and potatoes banking, look atomeone, the credit quality in all the other characteristics and then charge interest rates based on that, i'm sorry to tell you, different ethnic groups have different credit standards. as a result you're goingo get differences. but the governnt is saying is it's not your intention and it's not that we start with an even playing field. what matters is the resul it's really not in the bankers control what the result is. gerri: and should be. they should make their decisions based on the facts in front of them. thank you for coming down.

listen to this. if you want a pacemaker implant, you're paying 70,000. in raleigh new jersey, not far away, you're paying 101,000. why is that? >> you know, here's the thing. we were told that t reason why health insurance costs different money is because insurers are greedy and profiteers. it's not true. it is actually hospitals are raising prices. they are exploiting market discrepancies and charging enormous amounts of money for things that don't cost that much and insurers are forced to pass those costs on. there the ones who are behind obamacare because it's an extra $2 trillion a respond hospitals. gerri: i want to go back to this example for a second because these are two very different communities. not wealthy and all and livingston is. i am wondering if hospital is charging more because they can get it under medicare. >> sometimes that said, but

sometimes what happens is it's actually the private insurers. medicare is the government. they can really negotiate. these private insurers, once there are couple of different jurors. they really have to the send agents of hospitals is the announcement around. if they exploit that and say, if you down except on massively in for in price will some -- will take your insurance insurs are forced to roll over effectively and each of the higher prices. gerri: these disparities get huge. john rlacement and oklahoma. 5300. monterey park, two under and 23,000. >> again, it's so complex hospital building. is not transparent. that's when austral's charge a lot.

dicare and medicaid to pay less and less. charging more and more. gerri: you mentioned the fact that this information is not public. that is a big problem. people could actually shop around if they had lots and lots of information. health anduman services posting on their website that the price of 100 different surgery's, 100 different operations, procedures to try to open that door. is that really enough? >> any more laws that require house rules to post the prices. they don't want these things is post. in arizona the state legislature passed a law saying that for the 15 most common hospital services

hospitals have to post average price. the governor vetoed it because the hospital lobby one after. they know what this does that i want people to know that they're charging five times as much to someone with private churns. gerri: up to you another stupid idea. health and human services will put out 87 million to start something they call health care data pricing. the bill this money out to states, and states will cree these centers. can we do this on the cheap, to simply required hospitals to post their information. that doesn't have to ct taxpayers $87 million. >> medicare and -- can published this data. medicare, you have to pay for that. so you can't really do it. it's only like big media organizations and academics that spend a lot of money. it's crazy.

of all the data out there and the people look at it. gerri: a little sunshine would not be a bad thing. do you think with all this information coming out now that there will be any change in price? was still hopeful that obamacare would bring down prices. frankly, just the opposite has happened to be at all see any pressure. >> not only that, it's going to get worse because the biggest driver bond prices is all these hospital murders -- mergers. all across the country hospitals emerging. they're saying is because they want to improve quality, but has nothing to do a quality. when you have more mergers, a local oligarchy or monopoly. they use the market power raise prices. obamacare actually drives that. things called accountable care organizations. this big buzz word in the health policy what world, but those encourage more consolidation because it's all about hospitals find physician practices to integrate care, but that means

higher prices. gerri: that law, we had no idea what it meant. it's wrecking our healt care. thank you for coming on. always good to see. >> into you. gerri: now we want to know what you think. here is our question. our hospitals ripping you o? log on to gerriwillis.com. on the right-hand side of the screen in austin a result of the and the show. time now for the stori on fox business. the trending stories. adelle holding about 15,001 day after closing above the landmark level. the s&p 500 also up today about one-third of a percent, meaning th indexes are still trading near record levels. someday we will retire. federal judge ruling the u.s. government can continue its lawsuit against bankamerica. the justice department suing over i sale of toxic mortgages the bank is being blamed for a billion dollars in losses. and here is an interesting one. it may be looking to by who.

over the lifetime of the pad on average to be paying about 5,000. paying more in insurance emiums then you might be out of pocket. it doesn't seem like a good financial equation to me. what do you say? >> it is definitely something to consider. depending on how many pets you evenave in your family, there are certain multiple pat households where it does make more sense possibly to invest in a savingslan. you really have to think about worst-case scenario, what would you do, what language you go to protect the pat. do you have the resources are do you want to, instead, invest in into insurance package. gerri: to register and information on the screen about a survey that consumer reports to it, study. it took a ten year-old beagle and tried to decide if it would be worth it to buy the pet insurance. they found that in almost every case financially at least it didn't make sense. people have to make these decisions because they have so
