washington d.c. wanted some cases. says gasol lee back to the whit3 house, the administration or d -- is this just wrote agents? >> this is not road agents. there are jt doing it. is is a systematic plan that they're running with. multiple officers. even though listen the last hearing, they cannot just create this new structure and not have it signed up by attorneys got technicaleople. i have to go up the food cin to be signed off and go back down. this is not a couple of isolate folks. probably not. it will let the facts take it where it needs t go. they will have as many people. gerri: a want to askou about oklahoma. people they're under a lot of prestely. tte storms continued. what can you tell us? >> is very difficult.

the last two weeks we've had some major tornadoes. one at looks like it would be a major tornado come through on friday. some people panicked. it tried to get safer places. they got on the road and were killed some families try to get down into concrete ditch is near their house where they thought it would be safe and floodwars swept them away. families dying in a flood rathe than their home right next to read that was still safe. it is a panic. people trying to respond. a situation. they become veryeartbreaking we do areciate the praise and support. this is sso teheran. we know it is going to pass. it's very difficult for us right now gerri: congressman, we w wishou and everyone in your district all the time and the workk to follow up i the world. i hope the storms stop. thank you so much. appreciate y coming. coming up in about 2 minutes, more on the tragedidies in

$1,100. offering half that price, and you can walk through a myriad of different kinds of procedures, stainings, surgery. what you find over and over again is the u.s. is more expensive. what do you say? >> more expensive the typ of system we have. the fee-for-service sense of. singapore and israel, a single payer system for some of the medicare and medicaid type patients thateople can buy supplement to get priva insurance. the cos of the fee-for-service system, there is an incentive to do more types o tting, to do more. gerri: definitely. more extensive testing. i understand that there is a cheaper test and the colonospy that could be used. people just d't use it anymore. it is in part because they g into this habit of asking for the expensive tests of there. i read something interesting when i was researching the segment. often doctors don't even know the pricof what they are prescribing in terms of procedures.

it is not really your job, is it? >> in your own practice you should know what your test costs. when you send patients for a stfruently don't kw the cost. gerri: because you're sending them out of your office. >> and one of the big problems is to send them to a hospital based setting and frequently the cost is two three times gher. one o the big unkwns the people are not aware of is the cost of going to hospital to get test. sometimes the same exact test can be two or three times the co of private pctice setting. gerri: let me giv folks another ample because i am serious about this. take a look at a hip replacement . over $40,000 is the arage price. in spain in 7700. that kind of gap is really telling. with obamacare we were promised that costs would come down. nothing seems to be getting -- >> endo think obamamacareill get cost. that is a big issue. unease to be a major restructuring of other health re system works. no one is willing to takthat

on. hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, those types of ganizations that spe much more money lobbying and other major industrial groups. really have to look at that and let it with the ceos of some of these hospitals get, tremendous salari. these nonprofit hospitals are really not non-profit a more. they're big profit mhines advertising on television, adverting in the newspapers. there is a big profit motive. they're buyg of doctors' practices in trying to consolidate. gerri: if we can say we are getting betterrcare forhe number of dollars we spend it might make sense, but the reality is when you look at outcomes often the outcomes are not better. i think we hav to fd a better way to doll of this. thank you for coming down. always good to see you. thank you so muc. more toome this hou including a look at high-yield checking accounts. next, our special series to your medical privacy continues toe take a look of what we have learned and that you can't protect your privacy going

accounts. there are caps on these high-yield checking accounts. $17,102 is the current ccp. last year was 19,000. what is the fear? >> the idea is because they're paying ts above market rates return they don't want to do so on and othe minutes of money. it put this cap on the maximum balance you can have that burns that higher yield. and so we see 15 to 20 your sometimes even $25,000 as being the maximum that you can keep in the count and earn a higher yield. gerri: of course we should mention you fail to meet the requirements that we outlined before, you're going to get a cat your return, maybe as much as seven tenths of a perceage let's talk a little bit about where you go from here. let's say you decide to my one of these high-yield accounts but i don't have it. how'd you shop for one w is stikely offer a? >> these are accounts that a pically offered b smaller community banks and credit unions. we recently surveyed 55 of these
