marketing. they talked about it. catching the entire issue in the context of fairness. and regardless of whether you are a republican or democrat, when somebody says, we are just trying to make the system fair, rather than talking about some of the liabilities of minimum wage -- including the fact that it was funded largely by unions and it was a prevailing -- prevailing wage issue, the way they marketed it, it was very appealing. >> increasing the minimum wage means. at the end of the day, i think it was part of a populist vein running through the election cycle. other minimum-wage initiatives past as well. that no one that works hard should live in poverty. i think that is something we saw leaps through. >> one thing we saw that struck me -- almost the same

parts of the state, you expect it to pass with a lot more support -- it was soft in those areas. >> you pointed this out. >> this was the most expensive ad by the entire cycle does the entire state. it turns out advertising wins the elections sometimes. >> about that -- i think it was marketed very well. they did not talk about the statistics. >> you might not have even known it was about cigarettes. >> they talked about that it was a blank check for the government. and steer -- steering with this libertarian streak -- where people are weary of government without oversight. >> something we learned when they tried to raise income taxes for education in the past. to see exactly where that money is going. they kind of did.

insurance co-pay, is set and was much higher than the cash price example, the antidepressant -- $67 with insurance. only $25 cash. example, another for kidney stones. nearly $59 for the insurance co- pay. just over $40 paying cash. $18 cheaper. >> we show them what we found. >> another example. inud antibiotic. >> the co-pay, $46. the cash price, $27. >> my son needed the exact same drug. the same thing happened. fortunately, i knew to ask. so i got the much less expensive price. >> too often, customers don't know to ask. and believe it or not, pharmacist are not supposed to tell them. >> why can't pharmacists just

cheaper if you pay cash? >> they have a gag clause that forbid them from talking to consumers. >> a gag clause like the one in this contract saying that pharmacists can get kicked out of an insurance network if they talk to the media or sponsors or members -- without prior consent. >> giving this information out, i'm risking losing contracts. >> which explains why pharmacists are frightened to speak out about insurance overcharges. >> what would happen if you are kicked out of the network? >> it would be over. >> if you make too much noise about this -- >> your contract could be in jeopardy. that is not right. >> that if consumers are paying more for prescriptions, who is getting the extra money? some pharmacist say it is the insurance companies. the business is called a clawback. the insurance company may chars

charge the patient $20. but they clawback $60. so the pharmacy ends up with a net $4. the clawback tactic happens -- in association with united health. the e-mail did not explain why some co-pays cost the customers more than just paying cash. industry experts say paying cash may not always help because it generally does not count toward the deductible. this is unsettling. more kids are not being restrained properly in vehicles. a new study from the national highway traffic administration says the percentage of 4-year- old come up to seven -year-olds
