this hospital be open to the patients. of watson well broke in the south central area of los angeles county. what was put on the map not only in california but the but the nation of the world. in one thousand six hundred five because of the riots six days of rioting in a negro section of los angeles left behind scenes reminiscent of war torn city much of south central los angeles seem to be on fire up fire killing five by unemployment or education and things like a lack of health care and. my own commission said that the county must really hospital. just think that we had a section of los angeles county. over a third of a million citizens without adequate hospital care. when i transferred in m.l.k. more use to king. true hospital was a your facility it was

a hospital it was a trauma hospital trauma it was open which was actually a pretty state of the art trauma and i believe we were saying to in fifty. maybe even closer to fifty five fifty seven thousand a year in the main mercy department a lot of times we would get the diabetic and coma who knew something was wrong but didn't have the means to go to the doctor's office. again that goes to the problem that there are no primary care facilities in the area. a few years ago the county last year said a lot of clinics that were up where people could go walk in off the street and see clinics when the county had a few bad budget years a few years ago they closed those clinics private clinics are going to open up and take under insured for patients who can't pay.

and you don't have papers yes you have papers just permission how was your sugar level it's one hundred twenty. no no it's four hundred that's very bad for your diabetes. you have an appointment with the pharmacy a week ago why didn't you go. i did go. this is a free clinic the medicine is free you see me for free so why didn't you come you know this costs money. a lot of the patients here are not compliant they don't want to structure their never raise with structure they want the school you know never stuck with a layer. covering it so check your sugar two to three times a week don't use more not every day this is very expensive clothes do not have insurance but this is where the money needs to go because you can treat

a primary care why in this diabetic we don't feel your heart attacks or leg cut off you know because if we don't treat it we sit on the streets and then two years later he ends up at l.a. county hospital you've got to treat it as if it cost five hundred thousand dollars . if you miss your next appointment or any other appointment you can find a new clinic oh yes if i miss the appointment i can come back you know what end. primary care nationally is a problem when it is and especially a problem here in los angeles county where do you go for primary care physicians first of all the country is not training enough for them.

so we have a possible candidate for the program. mr mayor has been identified as every one user has been to. at least six times within the one year period we want to hear for also the care management part of it in order to maybe help her keep her out of that yard and having to come in ok to say mrs romero to see my name. i work with a program called road to health and to help the patient understand better how to use the medical system setting them out maybe. but if you are going to have

a case to a care giver who is going to communicate with you often they. use them as though you were telling me how sometimes you have difficulty making appointments see ok so we are going to help you a little bit with that. i think oh my you know how can i help you know me and they didn't give me this mattson you do have to educate and empower patients to learn how to access care correctly and at the same time you can't do that if the system is not set up to be accessible if you're educating the patient to go down a road where the bridge is out and there's a fork in the road there's three different ways to go and you know which way to go that's not going to be very helpful in our vision is to improve access to care we want to give people access to the right care at the right time at the right place and we need to incentivize financially our primary care providers our physicians this is your family medicine doctor that you go see for a cold but also the person who's most likely to diagnose you if you have cancer.

and you know you have refills you know but they told me i shouldn't come back with al did prescription for the k y u and of course they wouldn't sell it to me that's one thing we need to explain to the fiji i don't know the field. yes five years she's telling me that she gets it that's why somebody see they're going to take it on in a pharmacy. pretty sure if you're going out for wellness we'll get together later for a lot of. birds go to the store. for the good news if you're in the market and i don't think we had eight this year that we're. going to go there right now we are twenty eight. and her uterus we're in ok you guys are doing much better you're just about reach but margery's goal of what he wanted to have been a last resource on scene within six minutes you guys are holding down seven minutes

flat however the best it's ever been and it was six point four zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero. zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero the super messenger here this gives you the facts. i had a doctor call me from moscow but we rescued get there unknown and he called me one evening any tells me that they couldn't take any more patients and their emergency room so i asked him to explain exactly what he meant and he says we need to free our beds for our people and i said i will which people are your people the people that we're bringing them from these lower income areas are paying they don't have insurance they got to get treated they got to be seen. you know they're not paying you can't function as a hospital and that's why we've lost so many hospitals in our area and. los angeles total a lost just over five years we've had

intervention over the last several years you see that after the foreign intervention many more people died then could have possibly died through any type of indigenous process even one involving violence and i think that moscow and some of its allies on this matter are very wise in seen the pitfalls of foreign intervention and as a u.n. charter makes it very clear the use of force should only be the last possible means of trying to deal with the conflict that was courtesy of our activist an international human rights lawyer talking to us from geneva and coming your way in the program testing the slow rush as the resort of sochi begins its first rehearsal for the winter olympic games by staging a competition for the world's most traffic it's. also extreme canine agility meet the friendly folks who excels at and the art of

people's well. the government side doing what's in the people's best interests it's just doing what's in its own interests and the people don't trust the government the government had an option they could have just said no we're not going to accept these measures and will go to default and by the way there's no reason that a default has to equal an exit from the euro zone i don't see that that connection other people have made that point and that's used to intimidate the population in greece to scare them to say well if you don't accept these measures that are going to default and going to be plunged into chaos and while the drachma hyperinflation disaster and you know these are scare tactics because the people that are in power are bent benefit from a system where they can cooperate with the euro kratz in brussels i don't believe anyone within their right mind would think that they'd be able to to pay those debts back clearly there's an interest for the banks that are on the hook the european central bank is obviously bought a lot of that debt so they stand to lose but at the same time if they just keep rolling it over they're going to lose anyway i think part of this is just

a function of the of the system and people just trying to you hear that expression all the time kick the can count down the road but that's something that people do all the time in their daily lives and they certainly do it in politics they just they don't want to deal with the problem now and they just would rather progress and push it along and i think in many in many cases that explains a lot of what you see here. the ratings agency standard and poor's has poured more fuel on the fire of european debt by downgrading virtually all of italy's top banks thirty four out of thirty seven institutions have been hit including massive banks such as you know credit and intend to send power it's another blow after the agency caught italy's solvent rating last month by two notches in a mass downgrade of nine euro zone countries standard and poor's explain the move saying with italy's economy heading into recession the banks may become unable to pay off their wholesale debts. later today our financial expert max geyser gives us his inimitable take on the latest business scandals. we just where we want to go.
