bloke. martha: he is really cute. i'm in favor. good choice. bill: you get martha's vote. see you on the radio with brian. martha: we'll see brian in few minutes. "happening now" starts right now. bye, everybody. jon: the day after a massacre during morning prayers, worshipers return to a synagogue in jerusalem. welcome to "happening now." i'm jon scott. >> i'm shannon bream in for jenna lee. the death toll is five after a police officer hit in the shootout died of his wounds of the victims include three americans. they were praying when two palestinians stormed in to attack them with guns, knives and meat cleavers. thousands of mourners turned out for the three victims, all orthodox jews. conor powell live from jerusalem with more. hi, conor.
8:01 am
>> reporter: they returned to the synagogue with people turning out there to pray despite the fact that signs of yesterday's violence are still visible. there are bullet holes in the wall. but prayers did return there. around jerusalem security is extremely tight tonight following yesterday's brutal attack. the death toll did increase over the night to five as one of the police officers who was first on the scene yesterday died from wounds he suffered while shooting it out with two palestinian men who launched attack. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu ordered homes of two palestinian men responsible for the murders to be destroyed immediately. not sure when that will happen. israeli troops did destroy the home of a palestinian man who killed a woman and a baby with a car last month while waiting for a train. this was one of the first in the string of individual attacks that have really spiked around jerusalem as, as the battle over jerusalem's holy sites have intensified. now home destruction is
8:02 am
extremely controversial punishment in israel. it has not been used here in more than a decade. there are security official who is disagree with prime minister netanyahu whether it is effective or even if it is legal but right now, shannon, it is the policy israel thinks it is the best way to combat individual attacks in large part because there doesn't seem to be a grand campaign linking all these attacks. officials are hoping this would be some type of deterrent because there is no way of stopping them before they happen. they're hoping that people will stop them without preventing, without doing it themselves. shannon? >> tragic. conor powell, thank you very much. much more on this in the next hour of "happening now." we'll be joined live by israeli ambassador to the u.s., ambassador ron determiner. don't want to miss it -- dermer. jon: there are new fallout on comments from obamacare architect jonathan gruber. some analysts say the mit
8:03 am
mischaracterized on cadillac plans mostly enjoyed by union workers. chief washington correspondent jim angle took a close look what the tax will really mean. jim? >> reporter: jon of all the taxes in obamacare none is more onerous than the whopping 40% cadillac tax on more generous employer provided health care plans which the administration is trying to discourage. listen. >> turns out politically it is really hard to get rid of and only way we could take it on fist mislabeling it calling it attacks on insurance plans and we know it is a tax on people that hold insurance plans. >> reporter: he called it clever exploitation of american's lack of economic understanding and said the president wanted to phase it in so it would draw less political fire. it will take effect in 2018. a cadillac plan is one that would cost 27,500 for a family of four. unions would be hardest hit as you said because they have
8:04 am
negotiated generous health benefits which are tax-free in place of increased wages which taxes are paid. but the tax is so large, $80 billion by 2023, private employers immediately started to shift more cost to their workers. listen. >> instead of providing more generous benefits and paying 40% tax to the government, the companies will simply offer less generous health insurance. >> taxpayers get hit too. half of all unions are public employee unions. the taxpayer is the ultimate employer who will bear the burden of the tax. >> in new york city by 2028, 10 years after the cadillac tax is in effect, they're estimating the cost at half a billion dollars just for this excise tax under obamacare. >> reporter: and 160 school districts in new york will face the same dilemma, raise property taxes or other taxes or cut
8:05 am
health benefits, meaning new union contracts have to be negotiated. some republican plans would also deal with cadillac plans but with a lighter hand, allowing tax-free insurance up to a certain level so if the limit were $20,000 and plan costs 27,000, a worker would pay tax only on 7,000 of that. jon? jon: jim angle, in washington. jim, thank you. >> reporter: you bet. jon: for more let's bring in jonah goldberg, senior editor of "national review" and also fox news contributor. david hawkings is also with us. he is senior editor for role call. jonah, the president is happy to say that obamacare is working but you know, so many of its most generous requirements haven't kicked in yet, for instance the cadillac tax. >> that's right. a lot of these things will be phased in over very long time. one of reason why gruber videos will be relevant and sort of have a very long radioactive half-life politically for years
8:06 am
to come because as these more unpopular things are phased in, people can go back to the videos and say, ah haw, they lied about this thing when they pushed this thing through. they misrepresented what this is. this is sneaky way to impose a tax. one of the things maybe i missed it in jim's piece, they're usually great, the fact eventually these taxes on cadillac taxes will be tax on all sorts of plans because pegged to different rate of inflation. eventually it will be a middle class tax. that will hit a lot of people and not just people in labor unions. jon: david, i've seen a lot of, you know, elected officials try to dance around and issue but i've never seen a string of videos like you have with this guy jonathan gruber where he, you know, talks about the stupidity of the american voter, or saying the only way we could get it passed was to mischaracterize it? have you ever seen anything like this. >> thisnusual video.
8:07 am
i think jonah is exactly right. it bill last a long time. the use of the word, stupid, that one word will be played, will be in the producer's go-to b-roll for years and years and years. actually right now is probably we'll be seeing it less right now than in the years going forward. obamacare is designed to sort of roll out over many, many years. this will be issue in 2016. we will see mr. gruber's face on tv during the 2016 campaign when i think it is a sure bet both democratic nominee and republican nominee and candidates on both sides, all of them will be talking about ways to fix this so this tax bite doesn't get as bid as now projected to be. jon: do you think, jonah, he will become a fixture in the campaign, or is this sort of rolling over the heads of many american voters? >> look, gruber is already a verb among me and my friend and i don't think it is impact will stop there.
8:08 am
you know, going forward, you just can't, first of all, let me take it back. i really object to this thing where he says that the american, talking about the stupidity of the american voter not just because it is not right to call the american people stupid because what gruber is doing, he is part of this vast enterprise making the government so complicated that it makes smart people feel stupid when they can't understand it. it is, if you try to follow some of this stuff, it is so impenetrable. and what is so annoying about the gruber position, and it is condescension and arrogance, he is an insider who deliberately set up a scheme of terms that no normal person than follow, he knows are dishonest and then he blames victims for it and i think that sort of thing is really poisonous for our politics and will come up for a very long time to come. jon: at the same time, david, he is getting rich off of this. he is getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars if not
8:09 am
millions of dollars for this quote, unquote work, he is doing lying to the american people. >> yeah, i don't know exactly how much he is getting paid. i do know that lexiclog -- i will drop that word, rhetorical clever names for politically-difficult to swallow things, there is bipartisan tradition for that. there is premium support which most, which is the what the republicans called their desire to remake medicare so that it is not a endlessly expanding entitlement. these clever words is what people in government as well as in business think up all the time to try to make difficult to swallow things happen. jon: jonah, i think you wrote a book about that titled in part, how liberals cheat in the war of ideas. is this a perfect example? >> well no, i think david is absolutely right. both side play these games with bumper stickers and
8:10 am
catchphrases, death tax, i likes phrase death tax. i like people like barack obama proudly claim that they're not idealogical, they're not biased, they don't have idealogical agenda and they're just pragmatists working with the best science and best experts when in fact the best experts, quote, unquote, are activists like gruber who are liars pushing idealogical agenda. that is what the book was all about. jon: david, where does this all go from here? seems like every day there is new gruber video. does this dissuade any democrats from continuing their support of obamacare? >> you know, i think it put as little bit of a damper in things like i said at top. this story will be overtaken for now pretty easily by plenty of other things that are going on in washington and in the world. but, once it, and fact that the sign-up period is happening now puts obamacare back on people's mind it will definitely be back
8:11 am
as part of 2016. there will be an effort next year, as we probably discussed, to repeal the whole thing one more time by the republicans. and that won't get anywhere because the president will not sign it. then the question will be, how to mend it without ending it. and that will be a story that we are covering for years to come. jon: yeah. when these cadillac taxes and some of the other requirements start being phased in, this law is at a pretty low, it hit its nadir in terms of popularity and doesn't seem to me it will go north from there. we'll see. david hawkings, jonah goldberg. thank you both. >> thank you. >> gop lawmakers vowing they will continue to fight for the keystone pipeline after it failed to pass the senate last night by just one vote. republicans say they are going to try again next rear when they hold majorities in both houses of congress. leland vittert is live at the white house with very latest. good morning, leland.
8:12 am
>> reporter: good morning to you. so far the white house has not reacted on the vote to keystone. obviously they're happy the president can put away the veto pen considering how popular keystone xl were popular among voters. foreyears the senate democrats were able to keep the vote off the senate floor and after midterms, did 108 and brought it to vote or harry reid's design or dumb luck by the white house it failed by just one vote. republicans pounced saying this was proof it was nothing more than a political show vote to help mary landrieu in her fight for her political life down in louisiana. >> this was a political show vote. everybody gets that. certainly everybody back home does. but for mary took at that about her clout on the campaign trail and that not even be able to get the votes she needed in this a political show vote when it was all about her political survival, that is quite frankly pretty stunning. >> reporter: now landrieu faces
8:13 am
a very tough runoff election early next month with bill cassidy. right now the polls show her not faring very well in that and obviously not being able to bring home the bacon to a energy-rich and very energy-important state like louisiana, this pipeline failing is not going to help her. republicans say once they have control of the senate come january, they are going to bring keystone back up for a vote and problem miss to pass it though it is unclear if they're going to be able to keep a number of those 14 democrats who got them to 59 votes last night are going to stay in the yes column but this does bring up, shannon, a very important point of political gamesmanship that is now going on here in the sense that for so long, senate democrats protected president obama from ever having to get into that pickle of either having to veto something that is popular or sign a bill that he doesn't like. once the republicans take over the majority come next year, that protection for the president won't have anymore. back to you. >> right you are.
8:14 am
leland vittert. live from the white house. thank you. jon: there is a new twist in the mysterious death of a colorado woman. she was found shot dead nearly three years ago. and at first, after ruling it a suicide, police just arrested someone very close to her and charged that person with murder. plus, the first major snowstorm of the season may be one for the record books. a deadly blizzard dropping six feet of snow in someplaces and it's not over yet. a simple question: in retirement, will you have enough money to live life on your terms? i sure hope so. with healthcare costs, who knows. umm... everyone has retirement questions. so ameriprise created the exclusive confident retirement approach. now you and your ameripise advisor.... can get the real answers you need. start building your confident retirement today.
8:16 am
just the thought of quitting makes me want to light up. my world without cigarettes? huh. i say we take this one less cigarette at a time. that's what i'm doing. and that's how zonnic helps me quit. with new zonnic nicotine gum. one less cigarette is one more victory. three great flavors. just $3.99 or less wherever cigarettes are sold. zonnic. every victory counts.
8:17 am
8:18 am
shannon: state of emergency in effect after an epic snowstorm in parts of up state new york. parts of buffalo buried in more than six feet of snow! crews warning people to stay inside and off the roads as we get ready for round two. jonathan hunt is live on new york city plaza where we may not have snow but we certainly have temperatures, jonathan. >> reporter: it is pretty chilly out here, shannon but not as bad as in up state new york particularly around the buffalo area. five deaths blamed on this snowstorm in that region and another two across the country. this is an extraordinary storm, especially when you consider this is happening in mid-november, not mid-january. the new york state through-way, 132 miles of it shut down of the at least 150 vehicles stranded in this snowstorm. and the officials up around buffalo are saying, please, everybody, stay at home. listen here. >> additional people on the
8:19 am
roadways in those affected areas will not help us. they will hinder our operation. there are people who say they have not seen a plow, trust me, when i tell you there are a lot of crews out working to remove snow and any additional people on the roads in those areas are going to hinder and hamper our operation. that is imperative to getting us back on track to normalcy we'll say. >> reporter: a lot of people have been rescued. among them the womens basketball team from niagra university. they were on their bus coming back from a game in pittsburgh. they got stranded 2:00 a.m. tuesday. spent more than 24 hours stuck on that bus before they were rescued. the similar story for a lot of other people up in western new york. but, the one thing is, they are pretty tough up there. listen here. >> how do you feel that winter is here 34 days before it is supposed to come? >> i don't know. just roll with it. that's life. >> when i was a block from here
8:20 am
i couldn't see the lights on here. that is how bad it is. i love it. i do. this is buffalo weather so you know. >> reporter: the snow will continue we are told until tomorrow evening. then the problem could be the temperatures rise quickly, going off into the mid 40s, even the 50s around buffalo. shannon, that could bring the next problem, flooding. shannon. shannon: wow, it just doesn't end. jonathan, thank you very much. >> reporter: sure. jon: british police say they plan to requestion one of the original suspects in the mysterious disappearance of this girl, three-year-old madeleine mccann. she disappeared from a portugal vacation resort back in 2007. plus russia insisting that nato keep its hands off ukraine, even as russian troops reportedly move aross the -- across the border. the here's some news you may find surprising.
8:23 am
8:24 am
shannon: right now new developments in some crime stories we're keeping an eye on. former sheriff's deputy in indiana charged with murdering his wife. detectives say tom falis shot and killed his wife ashley on new year's day in 2012. her death was originally ruled a suicide. police in new york city using surveillance videos to tack drown the suspect in the murder of a subway platform. 34-year-old kevin darden is accused of pushing a strange are into the path of an oncoming train over the weekend. 25-year-old jamie mendez vanished earlier this month. divers are combing through a pond for any evidence. they came up empty-handed yesterday. jon: another crime that has been a mystery to the world for more than seven years now, british police plan to question a
8:25 am
suspect in the disappearance of three-year-old madeleine mccann back in 2007. it is a man who was under suspicion at that time. medd you probably recall disappeared from her family's vacation apartment in portugal. police are taking parts in the question of 11 people over all. among that group, robert murat and his wife. he was a suspect in 2007. he was later cleared by portuguese police. he always denied any involvement in her disappearance. shannon: ukraine cutting off financial support to the eastern region controlled by pro-russian militants. russia claims that could lead to more military action. tanks and trucks have been moving around the area in the past few weeks. now russia says, it is afraid nato will bring ukraine into its fold. it wants a guaranty that won't happen. rick grenell, former advisor to four u.s. ambassadors to the united nations and fox news contributor. rick, great to see you today.
8:26 am
>> good to see you, shannon. shannon: a lot of chatter and back and forth with russia and used crain. kind of slipped out of the headlines. certainly putin may fly under the radar. doesn't sound like he is leaving this alone at all. >> no. it is clear that the russians are on the offense again. look, foreign minister sergey lavrov is a very good politician. he knows exactly what he is doing. he is also extremely well-connected in russia. when he deliver as threat it's real. they have continued, the russians continued to threaten ukraine and let's remember the context we're dealing with here. the russians have gone into a country that is next to them. they have taken over a wide area of the country called crimea. they have also helped shoot down a passenger jet, killing 298 people. for all of that the russians have gotten some sanctions, a couple of sector sanctions and harsh words, like what we saw at the g20 this past weekend.
8:27 am
but that's about it, shannon. there hasn't been action. there has been very minimal consequences for the russians and foreign minister sergey lavrov and putin both see that there is not much, you know, downside to actually threatening your neighbors and trying to be on the offense. that's where we are. shannon: so as far as nato membership, they say they do not want ukraine getting any closer to that possibility. a lot of folks out there think it is not going to happen. i know that you think congress here should maybe make a push on that? >> well, i think we've seen the obama administration be very weak, say a couple of harsh words but they have been very slow ratcheting up the sanctions. ratcheting up sanctions is exactly what we need to do like with iran. when it comes to nato, this is military alliance. a commitment between countries to defend one another. we should absolutely say, that rue ukraine, because they have been threatened by their
8:28 am
neighbors, we've seen crimea taken over. we've seen a passenger jet shot down out of the sky, we should help them. they want to be a member of nato. they're responsible country and we should push for that. if president obama isn't going to do it, the new republican senate should put this on the agenda and try to penalize the president as much as possible so that we can get the ukrainians into nato. by the way, angela merkel, the german chancellor has literally said this past weekend that we should be very sensitive to the russian demand that they don't want ukraine as a part of nato. and i think she is flat wrong and somebody need to call her out for it. shannon: let's talk about putin's comments. he says we are ready to work together. we want to be partners with america on a number of fronts with the understanding that they respect us and stay out of our internal business. do you think he is just, kind of stoking the fire at this point?
8:29 am
because we all know what that's about? >> we know what that's about. let me translate for you. let us continue to be belligerent in eastern europe and continue to just gather money illegally and you should mind your own business. of look, we should send a very strong message to the russians. that this is not what responsible country does. after all, it has been 25 years since the fall of the wall. and y now we're looking at 800,000 people being displaced in ukraine because of the russian actions here. so this is the largest european refugee situation since the balkan wars. this is serious. meanwhile we have a western governments throughout europe and even this administration, the obama administration, not noticing that russia is on the offense. it's a dangerous situation. the warning signs are there. something worse is going to happen and we need to watch this. shannon: super quick, we're
8:30 am
almost out of time, but i wanted to ask you, do you think this administration comes up with a effective bulwark or stop to putin? are they capable? will they do it? >> i hope they will. i haven't seen the evidence of that, but i think if the senate can push them and push jon kerry in the state department and even secretary hagel. we may come up with something. at least ratchet up the sanctions. the russians listen to sanctions. shannon: rick grenell, always good to see you. thanks so much. >> you too, shannon. jon: newly-released surveillance video catches a school bus driver's jaw-dropping behavior. the outrage when seen climbing on board and then cracking a cold one. >> what? jon: plus senate democrats block an energy project years in the making by just one vote. how the markets are reacting following the defeat of the keystone pipeline.
8:34 am
shannon: right now a quick look what is still to come on this hour of "happening now." senate democrats squashing the keystone pipeline project. what does the vote mean for our economy and chances of pipeline getting approved once the new congress is gaveled. one in three americans don't know they have diabetes.
8:35 am
doctor is in and explaining why so many people go undiagnosed. there is this. judge tweeting from the bench right in the middle of a murder trial. we'll tell you what she said. "fox business alert," wall street taking a break from breaking records this morning. stocks edging a bit lower as investors wait for news from the federal reserve latest meeting. fox business network's lauren simonetti with more. hi, lauren. >> hi, shannon. we're seeing declines on wall street. stocks are coming off of record highs, if you're keeping track, the 26th record close of 2014 yesterday for the dow industrials and for the s&p 500, the 43rd record finish this year. wall street is waiting right now for the release of notes from the federal reserve's last meeting, looking for clues when interest rates will go up. those minutes are due out at 2:00 p.m. eastern. this morning we got some earnings reports and they were pretty good. two winners, target, reporting more than 3% gain in the latest quarterly profits as the u.s. stores are rebounding from last year's data breach.
8:36 am
target's stock is up nicely right now and loews, the home improvement chain raised forecast for entire year thanks to a better job market. that is encouraging homeowners to go out and spend money on renovations. they are helping to lift consumers names like walmart and nike this is one of the reasons stocks are down. we got a report on new home construction. it was disappointing. the commerce department said housing starts fell 2.8% in the month of october, shannon. shannon: lauren simonetti, with the latest from the markets. thanks so much. don't miss lauren on the fox business network f you're not sure where to find it in your area, foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. >> the yeas are 59, the nays are 41. the 60-vote threshold having not been achieved, the bill is not passed. jon: and with that the keystone pipeline project failed by just one vote in the u.s. senate.
8:37 am
supporters say it will create thoses of jobs and boost the u.s. economy. let's talk about with steve moore, chief economist for heritage foundation and a fox news contributor. the theatrics around this are so beyond. harry reid has been blocking a vote on the bill for years. now all of awed isen in order to heavy mary landrieu save her senate seat in louisiana, he allows the vote. she is proclaiming fighting for louisiana of the she will get the pipeline built and fails by one vote. >> i think she is "gone girl," jon. this is probably a nail in her political coffin. if you look at this election we just had two weeks ago what was the number one issues that -- jon: economy, jobs. >> economy, jobs. that is what this project is all about. it is not just energy security but as you said, we don't know exactly how many jobs, 20, 30, 40,000 jobs. that is a lot in the economy when you have 15 million unemployed people. democrats once again put their radical, kind of green agenda
8:38 am
ahead of jobs and economist. i looked at the "fox news poll" that came out, some of the exit polling. the number one issue was jobs. you had to go all the way down to number 30, or 40 on the list to get to climate change. the american people are putting jobs ahead of climate change. the democrats are putting climate change ahead of jobs. jon: this is a the p who talked about shovel-ready projects. >> good point. jon: he talked about investing in infrastructure. even bragged oil production is up in this country but doesn't want keystone pipeline. why? >> start with the last point there, it is absolutely true that we are living through the biggest oil and gas boom. the oil and gas economy has been carrying economy on its back last five or six years. jon: people in north dakota. >> north dakota, texas, oklahoma, west virginia. i was in pittsburgh. pittsburgh is booming because of marcellus shale. the president has not lifted a finger to help the industry. when you talk to people in the gas industry, almost everything
8:39 am
he is doing, blocking keystone pipeline, not allowing drilling on federal lands and environmental regulations are strangling the industry but i will make another point i think is so important. the president as you said is always talking about the shovel ready projects, we'll do more on infrastructure. this is infrastructure project, jon, does not cost the taxpayer a penny. we can do this with private money. when he says this is only temporary jobs. wait a minute, those road projects are temporary jobs. how is that any different. jon: any highway project, any bridge that gets built in this country is a temporary job. >> right. but it goes beyond the 30 to 40,000 direct jobs created by it building this. if we have infrastructure, we'll be doing more drilling in this country. a lot more trucking jobs. you will have more welding jobs, pipe fight fitting jobs. these are -- pipe fitting jobs. these are blue-collar jobs that pay0, $08,000 salaries a year. this will come up in january and i think it will get a lot more
8:40 am
than 60 votes. >> every single republican, all 45 voted for it. we'll look at a senate with at least 53. >> i think 54. and i think, i think democrats will get an earful when they go back to the districts, wait a minute, we have 15 million unemployed people and you voted against a jobs project? jon: president obama will veto it, isn't he? >> that is, who knows. who knows. if he vetos it, then there will be big fight override the veto of that president. jon: all right. steve moore -- >> theatrics are just starting on this issue. jon: it will be fascinating to watch because a lot of people want this thing built. >> i do. jon: steve, thank you. shannon? shannon: school bus driver facing felony dwi charges. authorities say she put the lives of dozens of young children in danger. all the details on their very bumpy ride home from school. a groundbreaking new study finding millions of americans have a serious disease and they don't even know it. up next, the doctor is in to
8:44 am
shannon: let's check out ahead what is on "outnumbered" at top of the hour. what have you got cooking up? >> hi, shannon. after all the jonathan gruber videos calling american voters stupid is there a new obamacare black eye? allegations officials have been bullying and threw temper tantrums to get the launch of healthcare.gov up and running. >> a children's classic more than 100 years old going, pc. why do people find "peter pan" offensive? >> i think it is the tights. with bob marley wanting to bring starbucks of weed and more states legalizing recreational marijuana is more america going to pot? >> i can't remember. who better to ask our hashtag one lucky guy, actor, dancing
8:45 am
with stars almost champion, tommy chong. >> he is "outnumbered" at top of the hour right here. shannon: you might have an expert on those topics. >> we'll be up in smoke, shannon. come and join us. shannon: i will see you at 12. thanks, ladies. jon: shocking new video released of a bus driver facing charges of driving while intoxicated. check out surveillance video. the driver, kathy legrand, boarding the bus with what appears to be a beer in her hand. she goes about usual preroute steps and pull out a pill and swallow it. that happens several times. she is facing a felony dwi charge because she was carrying nearly 30 elementary students as well as a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of a crime after she hit a mailbox. fishes say the children told their parents about their very bumpy ride. shannon: stunning new research suggesting nearly 30% of adults
8:46 am
with diabetes don't even know they have the disease! this study finding only 20% of the diabetes patients are successfully treated. additionally the study says having untreated diabetes can result in serious kidney, heart and even brain problems. we have a internist, resume to gift and a mother of a daughter who has type one diabetes. good to see you, doctor. >> nice to be here. shannon: how in the world are some millions of people going undiagnosed? >> well just to clarify, this, the study that you're referring to didn't actually look at millions of people. shannon: okay. >> yes, they actually obtained information on 30,000 people. shannon: which is also a significant number of people. >> and extrapolated the numbers to say look, if we can't number of diabetics in the whole of the u.s. this is how many people would be affected. so they didn't actually look at those millions. shannon: okay so what is happening in a regular doctor
8:47 am
visit? or is it people, they're not accessing health care? how are they slipping through the cracks with a disease this serious? >> it is multifold, is multifold. in this particular study they didn't exclude type one diabetics. it was all diabetics, they felt the treatment in the long term would be the same no matter the pathology, original causes of their diabetes. issues related to patient attendance and to do with provider care. it is multifold. there has been a lot of incentives introduced into various health care systems for, for health care providers to easily screen their diabetic, for diabetes and to meet treatment goals because the other issue in this study was not just the diagnosis of diabetes. it was that the other risk factors and blood pressure and cholesterol levels were not being treated. some people may say, well, why treat die bettics in the
8:48 am
