and she comes rolling into aspen dental prepared to have these two teeth removed. but, much to her chagrin, she found out that they wanted to do a whole makeover of her mouth-- removal of many more teeth than the dentist had initially recommended, and then the creation of dentures, all at the tune to about $8,000. $8,000 is close to 50% of her annual income. >> when they presented that big... eight, seven thousand dollars, i says, "i can't afford that. i don't have that kind of income." well, they didn't care. they figure, well, i could put it on a credit. >> o'brien: mrs. ferritto wound up with the g.e. credit card called carecredit. >> they never mentioned or explained about a lot of interest, high interest-- never. >> look at this-- look, look look. >> o'brien: carecredit began charging mrs. ferritto interest as soon as the credit card was issued, even before much of the work had begun. >> so as soon as she got approved for that credit, those charges and that interest started to accrue at that second, before she even left the dental office. and so we feel like s

and aspen dental does that, too. >> o'brien: aspen sponsors a nascar team and last year had three-quarters of a million customers. >> our vision is to have the most trusted dental brand in the country. the typical patient is probably 45 to 65 and struggling kind of just to make ends meet. they're taking this week's paycheck to pay last month's mortgage, making a car payment. they will push things off and push things off until they can't put them off any longer, and hopefully, if we're doing our jobs, we've located in the right markets, we're creating awareness in those markets, and those people are choosing to come into our offices. >> o'brien: bob fontana invited us to come to one of aspen's showcase offices in warsaw, indiana. here we met dentist kurt losier, who owns the practice at this aspen-run office. >> so, ted, you're saying you're having a pretty significant toothache on the bottom left. when's the last time you saw a dentist? >> about ten years ago. >> okay. >> o'brien: ted collins is a typical patient-- a truck driver with no dental insurance. he came in because of intense pain

i'm maria bartiromo coming to you live from the aspen ideas festival. here is what we're following at the close tonight. investors expressing some optimism late in the day that european leaders could make real progress toward fixing the debt crisis there. the dow was down 177 points, so how will the health care ruling and developments coming out of europe impact your money. a try owe of top strategists are standing by to talk with us coming up. and will the health care ruling end up backfiring on the democrats during this election this fall? house minority leader steny hoyer will join me coming up in the program, and now we're talking health insurance companies, and cigna and how it may be affected by the decision, david cordani will be us. look at how we finished the day on wall street. it was a wild final hour, the dow jones coming back from being down 177 points and finishing down just 27 points. jpmorgan cut it's loss in half, and the average is at 12601. volume picked up, and the nasdaq wuting it's losses as well. and the s&p is down at 1328. a big

this is the eighth annual aspen ideas festival.ates and around the world to meet, discuss ideas and we are talking about policy, politics, business, science, culture, arts -- the whole thing. it is a chance to learn, listen and debate. right now i want to bring in walter issacson who is the president of the aspen institute. thank you for joining us, walter. >> great to be here. >> the opening session was so exciting because you had people around the world talking about the big ideas and the kind of things they wanted to see improve our society. do you have a big idea? >> well, one of the things that is important is that when you have a big idea, you have to figure out how it relates to the values we have, and the values are sometimes in conflict as we have seen throughout the history and even in the past week. supreme court did a good job yesterday of figuring out a balance of values and ideas. and i think that sometimes in the society, we don't value balance enough. know i knowing that the other side actually has values on their s

the aspen point model is probably the best but umdmj has a terrific one. university of michigan has a terrific one, a peer program. they need to be backed up by trained and military clinicians. i don't know how many of you heard of the citizen soldier support project in north carolina. they have mapped every active duty guard, reserve and dependent in every county of the united states. if you ever want to know what that population is in your county, they can tell you. they also have mapped military accultureated clinicians and they continue to be able to do that, tell you which clinicians can back up that peer structure in your community in a substantive way. they need to be managed by a data base that allows effective continuous follow-up by the peers. the dark red ring is now the community collaboration piece, the best model we found is probably community blue print, but the community blue print folks have told us it is very difficult to get community resources to collaborate with each other and get measurable outcomes. they need to be divided into secto

you said at the end, harve, let's go out, we went to boogies in aspen. and we ate hamburgers and french flies. >> when i had all these stents put in. i wanted to see if i could live to be a grandfather. so i just went all the way. now i try to eat some salmon once a week. but i don't miss any of that. getting rid of the dairy was great, getting rid of the meat was great, i just don't miss it. not everybody is as vulnerable to this as i am. all of us produce a certain amount of enzymes that destroy the plaque. i feel great, lost a bunch of weight. >> you look great. >> but the main thing is we can't let these kids grow up to have a shorter life expeck tansi of their parent. >> first of all, if you look at the american health care system, spending almost 10% of income on health care, that's a big reason people don't get pay raises, small businesses want to give their employees pay raises, they have to spend it on health care instead, it's killing us. of the trillion dollars we would not spend if we had any other country's health system. which is why i don'

today we are live from aspen, colorado, and beautiful setting talking about the world's most pressing problems. this is the eighth annual aspen ideas festival and leaders and thinking from the united states and the world meet to discuss ideas from policy, politics, science, art, values, culture, and everything. they have a chance to listen, learn and debate. first at the start of the hour, a huge stock market rally. a deal to help struggling banks in europe was welcomed on wall street. european countries agreed to aid the banks without adding to the country's debt. and the nasdaq is higher and the dow up more than 200 points. >>> deadly shooting during a safety briefing in fort bragg in north carolina. one soldier killed and one of the soldiers shot another and then turned a gun on himself. they are part of the 25th battlefield brigade. police say the man is in custody, and we will have a live report from the pentagon. >>> right now president obama is on the way to disaster zone, colorado springs, colorado. the city has been ravaged by the most destructive wildfire in the state's hist

as a consequence, aspen and cottonwood trees are again growing tall. their regrowth has allowed the beaver population to increase. small beaver dams have reappeared, and the ponds behind them allow trout to flourish. more succulent plants survive in the ponds' wetlands, providing critical food for grizzly bears as they emerge from hibernation. the cascading changes taking place at yellowstone national park vividly illustrate how one action ripples through an entire ecosystem. nature is healthiest where a web of interconnected life thrives.

president, i saw you at the late teddy forthman's conference in aspen. you talked about how the economy went wrong. you talked about the regulations, the bills that the republican congress had, you know, nullified, you know, gotten rid of. and the oversight was gone. can you tell the american people why you think the economy went bad in the united states? >> i think two things happened, first is we decided to go back to the economic policies to reverse all my economic policies. to go back to what was done in the 12 years before i took office. when we quadrupled the debt. so we doubled the debt again. and we also stopped looking for that opportunity to invest in new job growth. if you live in a big global economy, and you want to keep 20% of the world's income with 45% of the world's population, which is what we want to to, you've got to have a source of new jobs e6 every five to eight years. and we didn't have one in the first decade of this century. so we overdid the home building, consumer spending and the finance sectors of the economy with the conseq

and we had in congress or in the senate, we had peter dominic and byron rogers and wayne aspen dal who was considered this mega power house, never met a water dam he didn't like and on every kind of project you could think of. colorado river base sin, arkansas this, colorado that. he was considered one of the most powerful people there as the chairman of the interior committee. and we had done bratsman and frank abbotts. so that was 1970 and we were the second most conservative delegation voting in the house. but it fit with joe coors and that's how the world saw us. all of those young hope ahol licks that moved in. there were so many of them, that the permanent settlers here didn't have time to encircle them and tell them to chill out. they all came in and had selected colorado by choice. they thought it was the greatest place on the planet and they were going to make it. they were really going to make it a wonderful place to live and they were going to follow all of these things that people had talked about in the '60s. so the big rumble started in 1970 when craig barnes decided to r

it's based on the aspen point and peer navigator model in colorado springs. they have kindly worked with us to expand it out and make it a bit more generic. mma's goal as of just a few weeks ago is to create a network using this model. the model is come prized of six rings of service. you can consider the inner ring the most important and the outer ring the least important. but all six are very important. all six rings each of these rings, now if you say, have you implemented the community guide on model and do you have results yet? no. but i can tell you a number of organizations there's at least one organization that his implemented each of these six rings and successfully. the aspen point model is probably the best, but there's umdmj has a terrific one. university of michigan has a terrific one. they need to be backed up by trained clinicians. they have mapped every active duty guard reserve and dependent in every county of the united states. if you want to know what that population is in your county, they can tell you. they have mapped clinicians. they ar
