lesli. >> all right, thank you. here's a question that a lot of people are asking. why does providing medical care cost so much under our current system. what you see on your final bill for a hospital stay, covers more than just a price tag of the medical care you get. the american hospital association says overhead cost to run a medical center, pay administrative staff are built into the bottom line. an operating margin covers the cost of new medical technology and replacing worn out equipment. and you are also paying a sub sity to cover the uninsured and under insured patients who cannot afford to pay their own bills. >> if the costs weren't passed on to consumers, we wouldn't be able to care for people who don't have insurance. we wouldn't be able to train physicians and doctors for the future. we wouldn't be in a position to maintain the facility. >> again, that's the american hospital association. democrats set up a healthcare war room to assist members of

one of the best ways to succeed is to automate your

diet. no, it has nothing to do with computers, it's about finding the healthy foods you like and eating one or more of them every single day. we hear it all the time. it's hard coming up with a variety of things to eat. find three healthy foods, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner. recipes you love and perfect them. they will become easy to fix. you'll have a breeze at the supermarket because you'll know what you need. you have lots of choices you make when you want. you'll also have a fall back plan. one less thing to stress over. remember, losing weight is not easy. give yourself a break. automating your diet would do just that. >> the dr. oz show premering september 14 on wusa9. topping our living well report tonight, we are going high-tech to figure out how hot football players get during preseason training camp. several pro and college teams including virginia tech are having players swallow vitamin sized pills that contain a
