welcome to the overnight news. i'm christine johnson. financial markets in the u.s. and around the world are bracing for aftershocks, after the united kingdom voted to leave the eu. it sent the dow down 600 points. late tire day, secretary of later today, secretary of state john kerry will take part in meetings on the crisis in brussels and david cameron who fought to keep his country in the eu and is resigning will be under pressure from the eu this week to quickly begin the divorce proceedings. european leaders including germany's chancellor, angela merkel, are scrambling to keep other countries from pulling out of the eu. mark phillips has more. >> the brexit vote here may be the first example in a major western country of post factual politics.
3:31 am
the facts didn't matter. a weaker pound, a smaller economy, fewer jobs, higher prices, scare mongoring it was called by the leave campaign. the warnings however widely predicted were ignored. and now they're turning out to be true. david cameron who announced his the vote. he did it because he was under pressure from euro skeptic members of his own party who have always wanted out. >> independent united kingdom. >> he did it because of this man, whose party candidates were threatening in the constituencies of england's torry heartland on immigration issues. step into any cafe in the places and this is the sort of thing you are likely to hear. >> we're british.
3:32 am
we don't want all the other people. we just want us. >> we are now being governed by an unelected european parliament. >> reporter: the inconvenient fact. all of people working in this cafe are immigrants from eastern europe. the breaking point poster unveiled late in the campaign, was widely kidded a low point. it was rejected even by other leave campaigners for its apparent racism and was quickly withdrawn. it showed what seemed to be hoard of immigrants flooding in from the east. even though the migrants were nowhere near britain. but all of those facts pale compared to this one. the number. the leave campaign drove a bus around the country claiming e.u. membership was costing britain $350 pound a week. it wasn'
3:33 am
it didn't matter. it was only a fact. here is another one. and this one can't be denied. this vote has split the country right down the middle. and particularly on age lines. the young, especially the under 25s, have voted overwhelmingly to stay in the eu. the old, especially the over 65s, voted just as strongly to leave. the old have determined what kind of country the young will live in. one of the first reactions to the vote after shock has been resentment. >> the british people have spoken. the answer is we are out. >> for all its drama, the vote was just the beginning of the process of leaving europe. untangling the web of regulations, industry standard, laws, and other conventions may take years. establishing new ones, even

3:35 am
when we think back over the last 100 years of the wars, the kind of blood that we shed throughout europe, the idea of the countries coming closer together is something we want to see. on the other hand what i think, guests made this point. a lot of people are being left behind in the global economy. all over our country, what we have seen is factories being shut down, corporations moving to china, and to mexico, and people scrambling to keep their heads above water. >> people who voted to leave are the same ideas and had the same feelings that the people that you are trying to appeal to in the democratic party? >> i'm saying the establishment sometimes forgets that real, live, flesh, blood people in the country are hurting, hurting badly. the average male worker in this country, you are earning less in real dollar tuesday than you did 40 years ago. and you are worried to death

children. if you walk the streets of san francisco you, see people sleeping out on the streets. >> those are the people that donald trump is appealing to? >> not a question of donald trump, it is a question -- >> we're in an election for the future leadership of the country. the question is what message, what narrative, what policy proposals are resonating? and why are the voters making the choices they are? >> the people are making choices because they are hurting. because the 30 years the middle-class in the country has been shrinking and almost knew income going to the top 1%. the american people are unhappy. is the response to that donald trump's bigotry and attacks on mexicans and muslims and women? of course not. but what has got to happen is, we need policies which protect working people? >> for the republicans, former presidential candidate, senator marco rubio has his own thoughts on the brexit voted on effect on u.s. politics. he discussed this with john
3:37 am
dickerson of "face the nation." >> in terms of politics do you see parallels between the brexit push and what is happening in the u.s.? >> the globalization, move to the global economy is having an impact in multiple countries. the reality that we have a new economy. the new economy creating new jobs. but the people hired for the new jobs are not the same people that are losing jobs under the old economy. in essence, people losing their jobs are not the ones hired by the new economy. all of this has created an incredible amount of strain and friction all over the world. so there is a sense in many countries around the world this is because we are too engaged with the global economy and the world. manifested here in ameri
3:38 am
saw it in the vote there. other places where you may see that u america as support for donald trump? >> sure. one of the fundamental arguments he made. the u.s. need to isolate itself a little more from some of the other things going on, and focus on america first. there are some elements of truth to that argument. ultimately again not entirely. because given the dynamics we live in today. we an not isolate. we are the united states of america. we are not a small, irrelevant country. i pinky promised my little girl a fabulous garden party for her birthday. so i mowed the lawn, put up all the decorations. i thought i got everything. almost everything! you know, 1 in 10 houses could get hit by a septic disaster, and a bill of up to $13,000. but for only $7 a month, rid-x is scientifically proven to break down waste, helping you avoid a septic disaster. rid-x. the #1 brand used by septic

companies to get the best prices for health insurers. did the prices go up that much simply because -- drug companies could do it? >> because they could do it. >> no market reason. they didn't get more expensive to produce. >> this is not inflation. this is just drug companies capitalizing on the situation. >> reporter: when drugs lack competition it is harder to negotiate and easier for drug companies to raise prices. how much? an analysis by reuters earlier this year found list prices for best selling drugs in the u.s. had risen anywhere from 50% to 100% in five years. the drug that went up most, gracie's drug, humira. the list price rose from more than $20,000 a year in 2010 to over $45,000 in 2015. how do drug companies defend a 100% increase on a drug on the market for a decade?
3:52 am
>> problem with a lot of the analyses that you are referring to is that they oftentimes focus on list price. a bit like a sticker price of a car. it doesn't reflect the price that most people pay. >> reporter: in gracie's case her family does pay a small portion of the cost of her medication. insurance pays 75%. and the maker of humira picks up much of the rest. greaty's mom wonders. how long? >> not antibiotic. not going away in ten days. no. she may be on this forever. >> reporter: many treatments for arthritis and cancer are expensive to develop. because they're biologics, produced from living organisms grown in labs, drugmakers understandably want to recoup their costs. but there is another reason for high prices in the u.s. in other countries, like canada, germany, and great britain, the government limits what drugmakerers can charge. which leaves american consumers making up much
3:53 am
aren't we subsidizing? >> yes, we are. i believe the u.s. is supporting innovation around the world. >> reporter: the solution say many is to create more competition for the biologics with biosimilars. drugs that aren't identical. but work in much the same way. one study estimated the increased use of biosimilars could save the u.s. health care system $250 billion over the next ten years. steve pearson runs the institute for clinical and economic review. an independent think-tank. >> i do expect biosimilars will be good for patients. equally effective. the price will come down. >> if they can get into the market. >> if they can. the early signs are it will be contested every step along the way. a lot of the effort though to keep -- the biosimilars and other competitors at bay doesn't add a loof
