it is a system that many agree is produced. our did i know al producer is looking back for your live feedback. we ask if the system can be fixed but doing that takes an understanding of what people are up against. all day our communicatety has been behind this idea of getting behind the scenes. >> the online community, of course, shapes the show with all of their contributions, using the hash tag ajam stream. >> it deserves funding families and children need support to be successful in order to thrive. however, here is a personal stroer, pretty depress depress from tiger, my great and uncle fausterred for so long we called them cousins but they were considered too old to adopt. the entire family suffered, and those two kids were never adopted, and, in fact, fairly are older minority kids ever system. it's something we will talk about. beginning to. >> i am surprised that there is a lot of inconsistency. >> it's fascinating. >> joining us to help address this topic is rick burnthal. he and his wife were foster children. they are

i understand how you design systems, big systems, small systems. i understand how you design test plans. i actually wrote test plans for systems. and you would test the system, would you do all-nighters until the system worked and you wouldn't deploy until it worked. and clearly that didn't happen in this case. so i want to ask, first of all, y'all said that you tracked air logs. if i can start with mrs. campbell, how many airs have you logged since you've been tracking the errors? >> i don't have that information. >> can you get that to the committee? >> i don't have that with me. >> i have to get back to you for the record. >> we really don't have access to that system. >> we need to get those numbers. clearly there are many. you said in your testimony that there was a late decision requiring consumers to register for an account before they could browse. early off it was promised that people would be able to go to the website and just shop around. look for a site, if you like what -- if you like something you find, you can go buy. it you don't ha

but it needs to be approached system by system. allbee: let's frame the systems in terms of the proper context. we have around 16,000 wastewater systems. we don't have a single wastewater system -- we have 16,000 of them. we have about 54,000 drinking water systems. narrator: issues facing new york city are very different from those in los angeles. and challenges facing small towns are very different from those in metropolitan areas. man: we have to have water supply for health purposes, for fire protection, and the economy. without it, things simply can't exist. woman: we have good health in this country, in part, because we have clean water. and we shouldn't forget that, and we shouldn't take it for granted. melosi: in the late 19th century, serious waterborne disease epidemics were having devastating effects. roy: but then, in the early 1900s, we began to treat our water. and since then, we've seen a rapid decline in the incidence of waterborne disease. narrator: most cities treat drinking water through filtration, chlorination,

i'm here to tell you that the systems that than, paul, and j.d. have put together are the most extensive and conclusive systems that exist anywhere. they make it so easy to flip houses and make money. >> we're averaging $25,000 profit per deal. our first-year goal was to make $60,000. we made $75,000 in our first year. >> i thought i knew what i was doing. i've been investing in real estate for 30 years. it's so refreshing to learn from someone that's doing the business at such a high level in today's market. >> if you truly, truly want to change your life, to take control of your own destiny, to be in the driver's seat of your life, do it. do it now. >> i bought five properties. i've wholesaled three of those properties. i've just finished my last -- my first flip, and i'm holding onto one piece of property as a long-term strategy. go ahead. take this step. it's a leap of faith, and you will not look back. it will change your life forever. >> announcer: if you're looking to make more money and take control of your personal and financial future, t

the system makes no effort. there are no amber alerts, no posters, from the foster children care system. group homes avoid reporting missing because of interrupting payment. often times from the system, it's always assumedded that we have willingly run away. many times, that's not the case. many times we're kidnapped or other circumstances. this is used to exploiters' advantage. the life and stability of foster care makes it easy to hide involvement, continuing to increase population vulnerability. i believe child welfare agency should be working with local programs and provide programs to enhance responses with working with the youths to transition into a healthier lifestyle and can learn ways to identify these youths. for myself in care, there's many times that i have many absences and people knew i was ab sent, but they were red flags that should have been paid attention to. agencies have to figure out ways to make children visible when they go missing. i'm pretty sure there's many people in society that woul

you see health systems talking to behavioral health systems. now that we are getting global payments, continental to us. how do you deal -- come talk to us. how do you deal with comorbid problems? >> it is also a cultural approach of collaboration. if we are punitive and it is a gotcha for physicians trying to the right thing, we are going to stop progress. we have to bring everyone at the same table and say we have a saying -- a shared goal. if we do this together and there are the right incentives and transparency, that collaborative approach is promising. >> i think what is going to be important for this question especially is how we define what quality is. most of us look at it in outcomes. if you look at the components of quality, it is more than outcomes. we have gone through a lot of process measures, that was not sexy enough so we went to outcomes. it includes patient measures like patient experience, appropriateness measures, overuse or underused. we need to develop metrics that combine these components into what quality is and then in

and texas' systems. i will now swear in the witnesses. the committee is taking testimonies under oath. the you have an objection to testifying under oath? the chair advises you that under the rules of the house and the rules of the committee, you are entitled to be advised by counsel. do you desire to be advised by counsel during your testimony today? seeing none, please rise and raise your right hand. i will swear you in. do you swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? thank you. you are now under oath. subject to the penalties set forth under u.s. code. you are now able to give a five minute summary of your written statement. ms. campbell? >> chairman upton, ranking member waxman, members of the committee, thank you very much for the opportunity to appear before you today. my name is cheryl campbell, and i am a senior vice president at cgi federal inc. i have responsibility for all of cgi federal's projects at the department of health and

system pass its test before the system went live? >> yes, it did. >> my understanding, you felt the system was ready to go on october 1, is that right no. >> that is correct. >> neither you nor anyone else at the table thought or made a recommendation not to go forward on october 1 because you didn't think the system was ready, is that a correct statement? >> that's a correct statement. >> mr. slavitt. >> i refer back to my earlier answer. we did not make a recommendation. we simply made everyone aware of the risks we saw. >> no, we did not make a recommendation. >> we did not, either. >> thank you, thank you mr. chairman. >> chair recognizes the vice chair of the full committee. >> thank you all for your testimony. i would like each of you to submit in writing for me how much you have been paid to date and how much you are being paid on retainer or either to clear up. so full submit that to us ford, that would be wonderful. pipps compliance. were you all trained in it before you got your contract? >> yes. >> yes, we do extensive hip

, then it is system processing. that since only 3000 have been processed fully that it is a minimal number. >> ms. campbell, i want to touch on one last thing. did you actually complete -- >> i am not. yourselfen you test it . i understand earlier you had said that you had actually tried it through the virginia system, went to the website. did you or did you not completed? >> mr.d not completed cassidy is recognized. >> today, what have each of you been paid and what you anticipate being paid? what are you anticipating being paid? million dollars and for the year $196 million. the total contract value with option years and everything exercised would be $293 million. >> mr. slavik? >> just under $85 million. that includes all the hardware and software. >> i must you anticipate going forward? >> i don't believe that amount has been fully paid. i believe that is what is been funded. we have contract for work we do. >> today we have received less than $2 million. >> you set the fsm will serve as the front door. i'm not

>> that the system was -- that our portion of the system that c.g.i. was responsible for, that our functionality worked. >> and it didn't, it didn't in the end result, correct? >> when it became part of an integrated end-to-end system. >> that wasn't a surprise. do you have something to say about the testing? >> so let me be clear about our role of testing. our work, the data services hub was tested, tested well and tested adequately. in addition, we played a role as one of independent contractors testing the code by other independent contractors. we tested every piece of code we received timely. we returned a full report of any bugs we found to c.m.s. promptly and made everyone fully aware of all the potential risks and concerns that were made available to us. >> well, i'm now over my time, but i think that what we'd like to hear from you is when you're going to fulfill your contracts to the taxpayers of the country so that we can go on and have people insured. taxpayers have paid you a lot of money, and you're essentially saying to us everything is a

system.e botched rollout is all the more reason that the individual mandate penalty should be delayed. average americans deserve a waiver from obamacare, too. it's only fair. when the exchanges are such a mess. the companies represented here today were in charge of building the federal exchange, a cms was responsible for ensuring that everything worked together properly. so the question we have to ask ourselves is in light of all the administration's assurances, is this -- are they simply incompetent or were they just line to the american people? i yield back. >> yield to mr. barton. >> thank you. i have slide once i would like to put up. like all of obamacare, what it appears on the surface is not what it is. this is the terms and conditions that you except at some point early in the process. that looks pretty ranging. now put up a slide number two. what you don't see is this slide, which says you have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communication or data stored on this in

it was called the key system.ck in 1984, george watson compared the two. >> reporter: it seems that b.a.r.t. has settled for somethingless than it could be. it runs 18 trains in one direction for hours not the promised 40. 349 trains travel on the 71 miles of track. to put that into perspective. let's take a 60 year step back in time. key system ran 600 trains a day one minute apart. while making more stops along the way, the old key was still almost as fast as b.a.r.t. is today. while the key was running on the bay bridge it took 28 minutes to travel from university avenue in berkeley to san francisco. today it takes b.a.r.t. 27 minutes. when you consider the fact the key system was a privately owned public seeking venture and b.a.r.t. is a $1.6 million publicly subsidized operation, that one minute difference becomes a mighty expensive proposition. b.a.r.t. is all we have today, and even though the system is less than what was promised, we do need it. in 1962 when the voters decided to fund b.a.r.t. it was only

i think we are many decades away at this pace from achieving a higher-reliability system.n the meantime, we're gonna continue to see frustration from consumers in terms of the amount of outages they're experiencing in the grid and the prolonged nature of how long those outages take to repair and restore. >> we had a blackout for a couple of days where new york and the whole east coast was affected. >> lights are out, there's... nobody has any power, people are looking in a panic. >> weather is changing all the time and, uh, storms can come up very quick. >> when the trees come down, the lines come down. so it's not unusual at all for a summer storm to trigger a power outage. >> weather-related disasters capture more attention because of the destruction of property and the unfortunate loss of life. some of these events happen with very little warning, at all times of the year. in the summer of 2012, a massive linear windstorm called a "derecho" rapidly swept across 600 miles of the u.s., from northwestern indiana to the atlantic ocean in less than 11 hours, taking communiti

which is already a system of paying for goods and services with the mobile phone so being integrated into that system in china you have by do except in between so they were to have a mentality not part of the sort of feudal system where only the lords of banking can tell you what you're allowed to spend and how much interest them blah blah blah you're allowed to spend but so they look at what happens when it gets adopted here in the west wing if equated were to achieve the mainstream adoption. believe it is capable of the implications to retail banking would be seismic with declining demand for traditional banking services like cash storage payment balance checks international transfers and of foreign exchange to name a few right well there is one empire in the world the american empire it's backed by the us dollar and the us dollar sixty percent of all global transactions and commodities like oil are traded in dollars and other commodities and this dollars backed by the us military and in places like africa where they're trying to control the oil which controls the u.s. dollar and f

i anderson and how you design systems, big systems, small systems and test plans to be i wrote test plans for systems you would test the system and do all my terse until the system worked and you wouldn't deploy until it worked. clearly that didn't happen in this case. so i want to ask first of all you said that you track the error logs. if i can ask down the line starting with ms. campbell how many have you logged since you have been tracking the system? >> i don't have that information. >> will you get that for the committee? >> mr. slavitt? >> i don't have that with me. >> miss campbell? >> i will have to get back to you. >> mr. lau. >> we don't have access to that system. >> use it in your testimony that there was a late decision requiring consumers to register for an account before they could browse. early off it was promised that people would be able to go to website and shop around. look for a site and if you like something you find it and by yet like anything else on line. you don't have to give hours of personal information and security before you buy a product. you said that the

video here. >> unfortunately the juvenile just system, if you transfer them to the adult system it looks worst. anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, you put them in a setting that's really ill equipped to deal with their needs. no training, often left in solitary confinement. >> gear you heard that comment from candace who says there are those in the community who think that we are too lenient and not worried about the victims on the flip side, the research says that youth are 36 times more likely to commit suicide in an adult facility than a juvenile facility. what's your response to the critics? >> as far as youth are concerned or young men who entered into the prison population, it doesn't seem too lenient for me, i'm at a maximum security prison where the chances of violence are taking place or you have it to you, defend yourself is extremely hard. in those kinds of settings it is extremely challenging. i will not say it is too leeb yent but i will recognize those who have been harmed and use violence that i think we as a people once we take responsibility for our actions and beco

it's a serious thing that they know the system is broken. and the criminal justice across the united states acknowledge deep flaws in the way representation is provided to people. eric also spoke to the american council of chief defender in 2009. we know they lag far behind other justice programs. they constitute about 3 percent of all criminal justice expenditures in our nations largest counties." i'm going to skip ahead. we interview lawyers, who fire appropriate motions and do many other things that attorneys should be able to do as a matter of course. finally we know there are numerous challenges in the public defense system like budget shortfalls. he acknowledged the challenges the system faced were not new and quoted justice hugo black when gideon came before the supreme court. there can be no equal justice when a trial a man gets can be a pile of money he has. what can be do? he asked the audience. the question resonates, echoing and bouncing off the walls where a player knows what needs to be done to fix the problem but no one can ge

system is all about. >> reporter: the system is capable of removing most radioactive substances. except tritium. the professor believes the system will be able to significantly reduce the threat of contaminated water. >> translator: tritium is an element that emits relatively low levels of radiation. so its impact on living organisms is more limited than other types of radioactive particles. there are several options to reduce the environmental impact of radiation in fukushima. none of them offers a perfect solution, but the point will be to choose the option that's most effective in reducing the risks associated with radiation. >> reporter: one of the biggest challenges for tepco is to decontaminate water faster than it accumulates. the a.l.p.s. system could be the decisive factor to win that battle, but only if the utility manages to operate it at full capacity. noriko okada, nhk world. >>> the international atomic energy agency is about to lend a hand to the workers in fukushima prefecture. it's sending a team of experts to offer advice on decontaminat the plant. the internati

plus the transit system that proceeded b.a.r.t. and actually used the lower deck of the bridge to cross the bay. it's all straight ahead tonight on a second look. >>> hello everyone and welcome to a second look. i'm frank somerville. this is a big weekend for the bay bridge as caltrans gets ready to cut the ribbon on a new eastern span it. will replace the old span since the bridge opened 77 years ago. at that time the bay bridge was the longest bridge on the world. george watson talked to some of the men who built it on the 50s anniversary on the completion of the original bay bridge back in 1986. >>> there she sits triumphant under the moonlight. as people find a common ground aboard her. she lies anchored like a moor to stride the water. she is the bay bridge. a wonder to us today and a wonder to those who built her 64 years ago. >> i thought it was one of the seventh wonders in the world to me. maybe the eighth. that's what made me want to do it. and besides you were getting good money then. eleven dollars for eight hours. >> i

it's a very fast-moving system. comparably fast-moving system. so it's not going to be accumulating so much rainfall, but it will be bringing torrents of rainfall across the northern tip of luzon so watch out for flooding, landslides and mudslides especially in low-lying areas in coastal regions with high waves combined. we'll keep a very close eye on this system. considering northern japan where we have numerous reports of thunderstorms across this area. niigata actually has a red alert, red warning for heavy rain right now. and that's likely to move away and this upper-level low will be moving into water. high-pressure system will be covering much of the country bringing calmer, dry, clear skies. and the korean peninsula as well as northern china. where we really want the precipitation to move into is this area where, in and around beijing. the air pollution is in the hazardous level, again, today. into tomorrow, looks like this will be moving toward the east coughing much of western japan and central regions as well. already in the hazardous l

that the court system was taking.and we took a snapshot of over 2500 transactions in 2012. that comes to $23 million. and coming through us the process is that you pay your assurity or your entire bail. going through the bailbonds industry that 10% represents $10 million. >> let me make an announcement that we will take questions from the audience. if you want to ask one, there are cards that you can signal to amy who will hand you one. we would love to hear your questions. mrs. dewitt, it's been a while since you had the podium or the mic. there has been a lot said, i am wondering when you hear this talk about eliminating money bail system. is this something that can realistically happen or were we able to achieve that, there would be a move to reinstate what your organization does? >> let me first off thank you, matt, let me first say i feel like a minority among the panel. but i am not overwhelmed by it. i think we have a little misconception here and what we forget all along, the public, the taxpayers. the bail in

you allowed the system to go forward with no encryption on back-up systems. they had no encryption on certain boundary crossings. you accepted a risk on behalf of every user of this computer that put their personal financial information at risk because you did not even have the most basic end-to-end test on security of this system. amazon would never do this. pro flowers would never do this. kayak would never do this. this is completely an unacceptable level of security, and here's the scary part, we found out after the contractors last week that an end-to-end test hadn't been conducted on security, not functionality, because if it's not functioning, you know it's not secure. your on going hot patches without end-to-end tests. the private contractors told us it would take a very thorough two months just for an integrated end-to-end security test, which hasn't happened, because you're constantly adding new code every night to protect the functionality of the system. you have exposed millions of americans because you all, according to your memo, believed it was

cases.delinquency lessons, noluable one part of the system, no one's system can address the multiple and complex needs of abused and neglected children. hasunately washington state a robust history of collaboration both cross discipline and cross system in child welfare. this has led to a number of changes and practices in our child welfare system that has resulted in better outcomes for our children in foster care. the information that is coming to us now regarding the extent to which these children have been in foster care or are currently in foster care are becoming victims of sex trafficking, commercially exploited children, present a new reality which requires new approaches. i would like to focus my brief time on describing a systematic approach that might prove valuable in your response to this reality. about cseins unknown c. what we do know is that by bringing professionals in who interact with those who are either are or at risk of ,ecoming csec, inauthentic collaborative, and coordinated responses, we are more likely to create successful outcomes for these children. the st

for one thing, bart has been a very effective system. even with antiquated system. for another it is earning an operating profit today. workers were central to both those things. so to simply blame one side for a stalemate and difficult bargaining, i think it doesn't reflect the realities. >> give us some historical perspective, if you will, in the 1950s when unions went on strike. a lot of people, millions of workers, even nonunion ones, often sheered their win thinking what they got today, we will get tomorrow. what's changed, because now it seems like there's more bitterness than cheering. >> well, there's a sea change in attitudes towards unions, and that was also reflected in a lot of the anger against the bart unions. as you pointed out, in the 1950s if the unions won something, even nonunion workers were very pleased because they felt unionized workers today, us tomorrow. that was the pattern that was being set. the whole economy prospered out of that because workers moved into the middle class, had more to spend. that spending power created jobs. now it's ju

it costs money to operate these systems. there's a need to continually invest in these systems. there's going to be new regulations. it's all going to cost money. allbee: for all practical purposes, people are going to have to pay about twice as much for these services as they currently do. because a lot of the pipe that went in, a lot of the plants that went in, went in with very sizable portions of federal grant money, mechanisms that are no longer in place. narrator: without grants, utilities often turn to the bond market to pay for large capital improvements. and although the loan is often spread of a 20- to 30-year period, user rates will increase to pay down the debt. woman: until a community accepts the willingness to pay for what they use, they won't have that money that they need to replace this failing infrastructure and improve their treatment plants so they can meet regulations and population growth. elected officials have to have enormous courage to be able to raise rates, to go out for bond levies, to deal with a situation that most people don't even see. it flushe

systemic changes need to be made in the current system. the legislation i've introduced in the senate, the improving outcomes for youth risk for sex trafficking otherwise known as i. o. u. address some of the -- child welfare and foster care system that make children and youth particularly vulnerable to being sexually trafficked. i would like to describe the highlight of the legislation for the subcommittee. mr. chairman, i'm sure many americans would be surprised to learn that most child welfare agencies will not serve trafficked children and youth who are not the custody of a biological or foster family or living in a group home. often these children who are not legally able to give consent for sex are arrested for prostitution and referred to the juvenile justice system. and in many states the court and the juvenile justice system are ill equipped to deal with the trauma these children and youth have endured. my bill requires states to provide services to youth who have been trafficked or are at the risk of being trafficked. it also red

again, that was a -- an initial hold-up in the system. we focused a lot of attention on that in the first several days. it was fixed only to then discover that there were system problems throughout the application and that piece has been fixed but i would suggest it also was a function of trying to make sure we had the highest security standards, that we were not cavalier about someone's personal information being able to be addressed and attached and it was a functionality that didn't perform properly but does now. >> one of the things that keeps coming up in this hearing because you are from kansas is references to the wizard of oz. people went to see the wizard because of the wonderful things that he did. the affordable care act is doing a lot of great things in iowa. the "des moines register" wrote io iowans will face some of the lowest premiums in the country. it's increasing competition in our state. iowa consumers are able to choose from 40 health plans in the marketplace. you have mentioned the growth of health care spending is at

tested the system? >> qssi was one of the independent contractors, we tested code from c.g.i. >> did you find any problems? >> we found problems in the code. >> would it require more time to fix it? >> which in and of itself isn't necessarily a problem so long as they are fixed. >> did you inform anybody at c.m.s. or h.h.s. there was problems and you needed more time? >> we informed both c.m.s. and the other contractor. >> who did you tell? >> i don't know the names of anybody we told, but i can tell you we informed c.m.s. and informed the contractor responsible for the code. >> ms. campbell, how much money did c.g.i. get to do this whole process from the federal government, total? >> our total t.c.v. is about $290 million. >> mr. slavitt, how much did your company receive to do all this? >> the data services hub has been funded to just under $85 million. >> let me ask you. ms. campbell, have you tried to log on and test the system yourself? >> i have. but i have insurance. >> how long did it take you t

we're out there rebuilding the water system.ve budget working on power generation in the country. we've been doing sewer for the city. we're looking at a brand-new rebuild of all watt systems in san francisco and we haven't had a home that's been other than mental. >> they staff over 900 people. the puc is in two office locations. >> you know, this is such a great place for a building. if the puc owned that building and we could make that the icon i can sustainable building puc represents, wouldn't be a dramatic idea? >> so, one of the major decisions we made was we wanted to make a statement with this building. we wanted this building to be a lead platinum building which is very few buildings in san francisco that achieved this mark. >> leadership and energy environmental design, it takes a look at the way we think about the places where we live and work. i like to think of it as designed for human and environmental health. lead addresses five categories that enhances environment. indoor air quality, energy, water, materials an

within their system. things like asymmetry of information or monopoly. they think about the lovers they can pull to increase supply or drive towards transparency so you have modern point consumers. so the conversation going on now at the state level has become something much broader than even the new policies that the aca, that's really about how do we take an honest look at all the problems and distortions we have operating in our health care sector and try to address them? >> coaches like to to add to that. health care reform can have there from washington. it's going to happen at the state level, regional level, working with physicians, employers and health land to change how they deliver care. i agree there is a momentum on the ground that hasn't been there before. in addition to the state government, bringing all stakeholders together to say how coming you do this differently? so there is momentum for change. >> and i had to that? when you think about bringing different stakeholders, here we have the

system. the botched rollout is all the more reason the individual mandate penalty should be delayed. average americans deserve a waiver from obama-care, too. it's only fair when the exchanges are such a mess. the companies represented here were in charge of building the federal exchange. but cms was responsible for insuring everything worked together properly. so the question we have to ask ourselves is in light of all the administrations assurances is this -- are they simply incompetent or were they just lying to the american people. i yield back. i yield back. >> i have slide one i would like to put up. like all of obama-care wait appears on the surface is not what it is. this is the terms and conditions that you accept at some point in early in the process. and that looks pretty explain jane. i put up slide number 2. what you don't see is this slide which says you have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding any communicationer to data transiting or stored on this information system

and back behind it, another system. this is severe tropical system lakima and could approach the ogisawa islands and produce stormy conditions on your friday as a very strong typhoon. so lots of things are happening in and around japan. now out toward the continent, this low-pressure system is causing some precipitation, cold precipitation across the eastern mongolia. and that's set to move into eastern, northeastern part of china. and this area has been dealing with dangerous hazy conditions. visibility is near zero over the past 16 hours. but because the arrival of the system, conditions could improve starting on your wednesday. so that's good news. across mexico, the major hurricane is now affecting the southern parts of mexico. this is a category 3 hurricane. kilometers per hour. we have hurricane warnings and watches posted across the southwest coast. now, winds are going to be very strong. on top of that high surf, dangerous waves, as well as storm surges could cause some coastal flooding. but instead of making la

we saw with the old irs system, traffic control, a number of areas where we had systems rollout that did not work the way they were supposed to and had to be replenished or reworked. this is a real problem in federal i.t. system acquisitions. there have been some laws passed. they still struggle. we need as qualified collection managers as we can in the federal government to manage projects of the size. really, they're not understanding all of the resources they need, all of the problems they're going to run into, and how to better manage a collection of contractors trying to integrate all these different systems. provide a time in -- >> a kind of makes you wonder if some of the hackers of the a bid to -- obama administration, if they were brought together to look at the state and federal websites, if they could solve this quickly. that is speculation. hackers are good at breaking into certain things, but building a large complex information system like the affordable health care act is not something that can be done by hackers. they really take some pretty solid project management,
