6:02 pm
gerri: i have to tell you that i've been shocked at the numbers numbers and we have been working out at the mall then we are just getting them in from insurance quotes as well. for example, a bodily injury claim is very expensive and that could really impact your average insurance. >> you're looking at l.a. and new york city, a lot more people and populations in higher costs. a lot more. gerri: massachusetts was the one that i mentioned as well. >> 67%, new jersey, north carolina, and what we need to move to?

[laughter] >> is a little bit over your deductible, pay for out-of-pocket, i know it's not fun to do that. >> when you have a serious fender bender, there's bodily injury, that is why you have

insurance and if you don't tell the insurance agency you don't have things like this, i've got and i like brakes, all of those things in the new technologies and that would help this as well. >> plus there is a driving record. and it is going to bump up especially will bump up your insurance. >> it will lower the rate of car insurance and also package this as well.
6:05 pm
gerri: i wish we had more topics for you. thank you for coming on. from your cart your health, are your multivitamins doing more harm to your health and while i? the case is closed on the debate over multivitamins after finding almost no benefit. so are you kidding me? you know how much money i spend on vitamins? i mean, how can you suddenly, after all this time, turnaround, 180, have the medical establishment say, well, we take it all back. >> this study was published and is very powerful. it's a meta-analysis. a pooled studies on 450,000 patients and showed no benefit of the reduction or overall mortality. >> i have to tell you, i am not
6:06 pm
expecting my multivitamins to save me from a heart attack or prevent me from dying next year. i just want to feel better. >> there is no data to support that it does that. if you have a vitamin deficiency, meaning that your vitamin level is low, then certainly, these vitamins help. if you are anemic and you need iron to help with your blood count, that helps. but it's a 12 billion-dollar industry in the u.s. alone. gerri: we are paying a lot a lot of money for this. we took a look at the retail price. if you take a multivitamin over-the-counter every single day, yyu're paying about $33 every single year. thirty-two dollars and 81 cents. on a macro basis. americans are spending 11 billion every year i multivitamins. so how did we get to be this? >> everyone is looking for a quick fix in america. we want to get healthy by weight-loss surgeries and things likeethat.
6:07 pm
and i think you just need to put in the effort. good nutrition and exercise can go a long way. and yes, you have to be careful and you still have to work at it. gerri: i see your point. i'm still shocked. they talk to you about this other study that we heard about today. which i thought was hysterical. apparently there's no evidence of antibacterial hand washes any better than good old-fashioned soap and water. do you believe that? >> i believe that. i reviewed the data. but the troubling thing to me is the chemicals that are in the is actually have shown to be detrimental and they have shown to interfere with the hormones and interact with ourselves and there is concern that it may hinder the development of our children and the fda has known
6:08 pm
about this since 1978. and they just now are i'm stepping in. the studies were done not early. i think it has a lot to do with following the money and the companies that make these. gerri: this all got started with surgeons and i presume that they will continue to do that even if the fda saying that the average consumer shouldn't. gerri: we have these numbers, just how big it is.
6:09 pm
in the something they are not want to get sick, this is the solution. is that right? >> you know, exactly, i think it's an easy way out. actually you are taught as a child if you wash your hands with hot soapy water and sing twinkle twinkle little star, that is enough to clean your hands. and the equivalent of using that keeps the toxins away. gerri: i never believed that. i would thought that it was just hot soapy water. have a good evening. now we want to know what you think and here's our question tonight. our multivitamins way to get money? i will will share the results at the end of tonight's show. we have more including a recent segment about buying annuities. you guys are fired up.

6:23 pm
gerri: three weeks ago one of my favorite guest talked about annuities. and boy, did we hear from you. we have e-mails pouring in saying that he just didn't get it. well, okay, so tell me in your
6:24 pm
simplest terms why you object to annuities. >> largely fixed annuities because the interest rate is low and the income when you start to receive it is fixed. when he died, the money is gone. there is nothing left for errors. high commission paid products come, they often don't disclose the compensation arrangements, and the list goes on and on. gerri: a lot of people over the last few years have had a terrible ride buying stocks, even mutual funds. you know, it doesn't matter. and they are looking for something guaranteed. let me tell you what some people said and let me be clear that a lot of these people are financial advisors and are probably selling this stuff. but you are selling things as well. here's barbara from california. he is incorrect in some of his comments.
6:25 pm
these products have been revamped in recent years, allowing for money to be refunded and passed on to others. what you say? >> only if you are willing to take a dramatically lower level of income so low that if you recognize it, you would say that i don't even need this product is the one we got a lot of comments saying that the world has changed and the world is different. but there are positive and negatives. but annuities are really confusing and complicated. >> yes, the sales pitch is that it lands on the insurance regulator's top 10 investment frauds. it's the way that it is often marketed. agents are making a living selling beds, the nature of the commissions involved, the surrender charges involved, other criteria that people understood them, they would definitely think twice about buying them. gerri: here is marty in north carolina. ask those dependent on mutual
6:26 pm
funds from 2009 through 2001. one insurance company has gone out of business and left annuity owners in the cold at. >> one of the biggest insurance default in history. leaving losses of 67%. and that was probably 15 years ago. off the top of my head. it was a massive insurance fall. gerri: okay, so is your annuity only as good as the insurance company that you buy it from? >> jeff, it is. and the guarantees are only as good as that as well. but i'm not terribly worried about it. it's very unlikely that that will occur, just as unlikely that your bank will default. but the bigger concern is will this product generate the retirement income that you need or as long as you're going to live? and so the overwhelming majority of americans, the answer is no. and the insurance company is in it to make a profit.
6:27 pm
they are investing the money, taking a cut of the revenue before passing them along to you. gerri: you are a financial advisor. wouldn't you take a cut as well? >> absently not. gerri: but we pay you a fee. >> yes, but there's no question that we can recommend any investment product that exists in the entire country and i can certainly sell annuity products to my client that i wanted to. back in the 80s and '90s we used to because the products back then had much better opportunities with death benefits is that simply don't exist today and the cost have grown much higher and the alternative especially through exchange traded has lowered expenses while maximizing liquidity and there isn't a justification today for using the antiquated products. gerri: well, non-panic getting a whole round of e-mails. so when you put money into an
6:28 pm
annuity and you dry monthly income, that is all you are you're ever going to get. he said that that is not the truth. >> if you annuitize an annuity contract, people do that to generate income in retirement, that's a one-way ticket. gerri: you're talking about something specific? >> i'm talking about generating income in retirement and you can always make a withdrawal if you want to. but if you do that, you will be subject to surrender penalties and tax brackets because you don't enjoy capital gains tax rates. the income will not grow with inflation, which is a major concern with people living longer than ever. and it's it simply does not something that's going to resolve with the long-term needs of most americans are going to have. gerri: one of the issues that are sort of unstated. a lot of these were from financial advisors at. >> they make a living selling this product. so let's be clear that everybody has a horse in the race. >> wait just a second.
6:29 pm
>> i think one of the issues is this. a lot of people out there had a horrible experience during the stock market meltdown. they are looking for a way where they can be guaranteed some kind of return and what do you say? >> it's an exploitive on the part of the insurance industry. i lost a lot of money in 2008, i'm scared and don't want it to happen again and insurance agents are exploiting those fears with the promise that this is guaranteed and that might be true. but you will go broke safely. because this is simply too low and not even in many cases keeping up with the rate of inflation. gerri: send your questions and e-mails to ric edelman. thank you, that's the right thing to do. a lot of people out there are questions about these products. >> i'm happy to help. >> don't allow an insurance agent selling it to you to get all the information that you need.
6:30 pm
>> very nice. gerri: coming up next, student loans. in the government says inflation is practically practically practically nonexistent. so what is it telling her everything cost more? the congressman gives us his take coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪ what would we see? ♪ the billions of gallons of fuel that get us to work. ♪ we'd see all the electricity flowing through the devices that connect us a teach us. ♪ we'd see thatlmost 100% medical plastics are made from oil and natural gas. ♪ anan iustry that supports

the salaries. is it right? we have the chronicle of higher education senior reporter who broke the story with us tonight. jack, thank you for coming on the show and we appreciate your time. so let's talk. >> we had the most recent year from available to beta for presidential pay. that is an increase of 36 the year before and the typical college president and a private institution makes about $410,000. so yes, the top paid guy is the president of the university of chicago. he made about $3.5 million in 2011. gerri: it's interesting. some of the schools with high pay, you may not know them all. but university of chicago, you may know them. so they are paying a smaller
6:43 pm
proportion of the entire budget. these guys get paid a pretty nice salary and the budgets aren't that high. >> that was something that we looked at this year in particular. the pay relative to budget. leaders are oftentimes astounded by contracts and as you say, at a place like chicago, the budget is in excess of $3 billion. the percentages much lower and that's part of this. they miiht be ranked third or fourth. this was money set aside that they finally got in one ear. gerri: presidential pay going up 3.2%. 2010 through 2011. room and board is up 3.4%. it seems like they are connected. what do you say?
6:44 pm
>> people try to make that connection. i think that on a symbolic level you are right to raise that issue and you hear that on college campuses. the president becomes an easier symbol of that. gerri: do administrators pay overall? the number of administrators rising to top these institutions? >> yes, i think a lot of people are concerned about this in the part of the institution as opposed to an academic enterprise and i think you are right to raise that. gerri: the harvard president doesn't necessarily have the highest paid, under a million dollars. what is going on? >> presumably she's getting along fine with $900,000 per year. she makes about $230 for every million dollars of expenses.
6:45 pm
i think that they are stimulating cocktail parties and you probably get to meet matt damon. [laughter] >> so there are measurable benefits for the job. >> that's a good comeback and it's a pleasure to meet you and you have to come back and tell us more results from your reporting. i know that our viewers are interested in the cost of higher education. >> we appreciate your attention and thank you. >> you're most welcome. gerri: who are these multimillionaires? the list of the highest-paid college presidents. number five is the highest-paid female president any gottman at the university of pennsylvania. she's held the post almost 10 for almost 10 years, making over $2 million. number four is columbia university's president in new york city. he takes some $2.3 million. dennis murray from marist college. the small hudson valley college

gerri: the next time you go to the pharmacy, you might get hit with sticker shock. generic drug prices are soaring. according to a recent report, one third of generic drugs have skyrocketed in price by more than 2000% and i was blown away by this. we should say that this is not all generic drugs, this is a portion of it. so what is going up in price and why is that? >> what is happening of the drugs we look back, small number are going up in price by a skyrocketing astronomical amount, over 2000%. two thirds are still going down in price but some are going out. and that is changing the whole dynamics.
6:51 pm
>> remapped generic drug price spikes. we are using the generic names which are hard to understand. but the last one that you see the drug that you might know. so look at these price hikes. 6300%. 3000%. adam, i look at this list and i can't figure out what is going on and i thought generics were supposed to be stable in price and low in price. >> there's a couple things going on. we are seeing some drugs in a shortage situation. problems with manufacturing, fewer suppliers, the prices are going up. we are also seeing rumors of shortages and price hikes and this includes pharmacies and wholesalers trying to beat the price increase. gerri: why would there be any shortages? why would there be shortages of this? >> for some drugs they had
6:52 pm
manufacturing problems and they have stepped up their enforcement efforts. including those overseas, making sure that they are staying up to the u.s. standards and they are finding problems at times. so then you have fewer generic manufacturers for some of these products. and the ones that remain can't supply the bull-market. gerri: so there is a regulatory crackdown. and for good reason. i'm not always in favor of heavy regulation, but this is an industry that has major embarrassment when it comes to the products on the shelf. big manufacturers say that they are fine, but their other products that people buy online and otherwise that is not up to snuff. >> some of them have had significant quality problems and i will point to one. one of the largest manufacturers based in india that had major

production problems and quality problems and have a lot of drugs pulled from the market and have rrally not been as great supplier to the u.s. market. gerri: what do i do if i am one of those people who is trying to buy these drugs and seeing my prices go through the roof. >> the majority of consumers -- you will be shielded if you have insurance. it's still around the lowest tier of the pharmacy and what we are seeing is some of the drug drugs started to vanish from the discount generic programs. these drugs are disappearing. and so consumers are finding that they can no longer get them. some just want to pay cash and are having trouble finding these drugs. but unfortunately, there's not a lot we can do as a consumer. gerri: adam, thank you for coming on. we have to come back soon. >> i will. thank you. gerri: the latest addition to
