obamacare for the generation of folks or older and not to sell the. >> in today's market they're not buying in because they perceive insurance to be too expensive. new regulations will drive up the cost.@ so if they are not buying today, why would they buy and when is more expensive? gerri: let's do the math. the penalty for not having coverage. >> starts at $95. gerri: what they pay on the exchange? >> depending upon their income, the cut off point, the flex point is above about 200% of fpl , 30,000 per person. subsidies will be around and you will pay more and more out of pocket. gerri: how much is that? >> hundreds of dollarssout of pocket. gerri: average you could pay as much as ten times the 500 on a penalty. you know, there is a big gap between the promise of obamacare and what is actually being delivered. it may make economic sense not to buy. >> allow people will be able to go on and see how much it will pay. there will be expecting to get

the kind of health care that their parents have which will not be what is offered. gerri: you know, that's kind of care that their parents at, their parents and even have it anymore. is just not as good as it used to be. i read recently that 42 percent of americans are unaware that obamacare is a lot. we had this moment coming on the rise in very soon where people are going to realize what health care is all about, and i think it will be a frightening realization. >> people will find that in a lot of cases doctors will be available to see them, especially for the half the population that will be posted the medicaid. 30 percent of physicians don't expect -- accept new patients and we are paying hundreds of thousands out of pocket. gerri: thank you for coming on. appreciate your time. well, it seems like the irs just cannot seem to catch a break. more rrports of waste, fraud, and abuse. the irs had more than $46 million in tax refunds to an authorized workers. here is the real kicker.

the money all went to one address, a single address in atlanta. nearly 24,000. at a day not catch up with that? let's bring in a senior political columnist for the washington examiner. tommy. how did that happen? it seems like mistake that somebody should have caught. >> well, first is starts with this very interesting conflict between what our immigration enforcement efforts to try and subdue and with the irs is doing which is giving at individual tax identification numbers, basically, to make sure that illegal immigrants were paying income tax. as opposed to, you know, not being here illegally which is a conflict. on the other in this scene is the probably, possibly by fraud somebody was using these numbers to file tax returns and then get these thousands of different tax return checks being mailed into this office. it was low level irs employees on the ground complaining

saying, our bosses are making is issue these checks and even though we think their fraud. i complained to ccngress which is what got the inspector general to finally look into it. gerri: in the last scandal, the one where there were targeting conservative groups low-level irs employees were blamed for the problem. now they're the ones trying to find a solution. as look at this growing list of irs candles. i talked about the conservative groups being targeted. also bonuses being doled out to union members at that time that the people being furloughed. expanding on conferences through their roots, mishandling of government credit cards. was the problem? why can't this agency get it together? >> and add another one. they had the former ceo of h and r block come into the irs and help make rules to try to govern tax prep companies like h&r block. gerri: when did that happen? >> that happened in 2009-10. it to are blocked like the rules because it kept out smaller

competitors. the problem is, the existence of this agency. it is not that there are the wrong people or bad people there. we have a government agency whose job it is to pry into people's lives were to look at these groups and say, oh, they being too political. these are not things that in a democracy, a country that respects privacy rights and free speech that does not match very well with their system. so we try to make these little changes on this side of that side. as long as we have this agency, there will be abuses of power. gerri: look, the new acting commissioner today how the program, a plan to reform the irs. among the things he suggests, suspenning the use of those be on the lookout lists like there were in the targeting of the conservative groups. new leaders, accountability review board, a self certification process. what do you make of these changes? is this enough? is this just paper covering over the big problems.

>> i think that putting people in charge of saying -- policing political speech because that is effectively with the irs is doing, some of the eyond the look of words were words like progression, as a going after the other side as well as the tea party. so you're putting the irs in a position of policing political speech. that is a bad thing to -- a bad power to get to the organization that has the power to tax because the supreme court. gerri: you put those two things together and it's really not -- in these to the folks that are going to employ obamacare. >> giving the irs new power is one of the many problems that obamacare has commanded teaches us this lesson. increased government power and you increase the opportunities for the abuse of power and for special interest to abuse that power and you're asking for more trouble, just like this. gerri: set up by moscow my bynum. thank you for coming on. appreciate your time. >> thank you.

story this weekend baron's recommended. what as a class to you like best at this point? >> well, i would like to say to all the pre retirees, if you are applying a short-term strategy to a long-term endeavor like retirement, you will find that to be a fool's errand. you will go through market cycles. you need to get used to it to produce income. it is important to recognize the you just need to stay diversified and concentrate on their goal, which is the creation of income over time. if you do that you get it right over all cycles. the asset class that i like, stocks. the relative valuation of equities right now is better than it has ever been, and as bonds continued to go down in price and up in yield it will create an even better opportunity for operating leverage for equities, so you need to be there. gerri: even if you are right at the door of retirement, you still like stocks? >> yes. gerri: okay. >> nothing wrong with that. equities are important to a portfolio. don't ever discount them.

gerri: we just got used to having to worry about your paul the time. europe is up. the economy is down. impacting my portfolio. now it's china. they cannot control themselves, problems, really getting our portfolios hard. would you tell people out there grow worse? >> well, is that time of year. during june, july, the markets go down, typically to september and october. one of the big mistakes that investors make, particularly small investors is not taking profits. you have to pay even if your stock is doing ell, and a lot have gone up by 50, 70 percent of the past year and backed off here at two or 3 percent, at least sell half and take some profit. don't ride the price of the way down because that is the danger right now for the small investor gerri: we were talking about cash. cash being king. you tend to like it. and wondering what people were doing? this is one of those odd times in the market where we see people pulling money at stocks anddbonds. >> i think they're just going to

cash. people are shellshocked. we have seen some pretty heavy selling days last wednesday, thursday, and today. the market is probably due for some sort of an oversold bounce. gerri: i would be happy o see that. >> it's pretty oversold and there was a lot of panic in the market. and thinking that you can utilize this bounce to reallocate yourself a little bit, but don't just go in and see the market down and start selling everything. typically when you make those panic decisions you tend not to get very good prices. gerri: what percentage of the portfolio should be in cash? >> first of all, i did not see a lot of panic in the markets. i saw what was a normal sunland procedure with a lot of volume but no panic which is important. in addition to that there is no flight to safety whether it be if you look at what was happening when equis were dropping, bond prices were not necessarily jumping. that is -- prices are not going a bit is people are not buying the bonds.

so my personal opinion is you need to have a good allocation, 50, 60% equities, be far more waited to equities and bonds. if you aren't i think you're going to be setting yourself up for losses over time. history to going up and will continue to permit that will be something to be living with for some time. it's good for all of us. we have been living with interest rates that are too low. the bank getting half a percent. we want interest rates to go up. deal with the pain. gerri: good for some and bad for others. one of the interesting things about this market is that the short-term rate is doing something different. people are trying to get a mortgage are seeing rates go higher, but people who have short-term money, money market funds and cds. still not good. what do you tell people? >> there are a whole class of assets that pay from five to 20%. people have to learn about these, especially people in pre

retirement and near retirement. one example s business development corporations that do very well and make a lot of money. they're tagger symbol and may pay 12, 15, 20%. if you're careful selecting them and well diversified, these can turn a part of your total portfolio. gerri: all right. thank you for coming on. a great job. dressed in conversation, and we will continue to keep our eye on china as well as the race. thank you so much. >> thank you. gerri: we want to know what you think. which is a better investment? cash, gold, or stock? log on, but on the right hand side of the screen analysis results of the end of the show. facebook says a bug in the system allowed the contact information of 6 million users to be exposed. for the latest go upstairs to fox business jo ling kent in our news from. >> reporter: the security breach in anfernee reveal
