barbara has no insurance and she's undocumented. she can't pay, so no nursing or rehab facility will take her. they don't have to. unlike hospitals, they're not required by law to treat everyone. that left la grange with no choice but to keep barbara. she's been rolling these halls ever since. >> this is completely illogical. i mean the idea that we would spend $2,000 a day -- it would be cheaper to take these patients and send them to the ritz carlton. they could get room service all day. and that would be cheaper. >> reporter: dr. ja is a practicing physician and professor of health policy at harvard university. he says some patients stay an extra week, some months, some, like barbara, stay years. it isn't good for the patients who may not get the rehab or specialized care they need. >> there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of people who get stuck in the hospital who are well enough to go to someplace else. it's incredibly expensive for them to be in the hospital. >> they're taking a bed from someone who might actually nee

barbara. well, substance abuse may not be the highest priority among the disability world because the disability community has so many needs, this one-it really has to come into the forefront because it has an impact on every other one. if you have a substance abuse problem, you're not going to be employed, you're not going to get good health care, you're not gonna have a place to live in the community. so i think it needs to move up the scale. dr. clark. well, we've heard my three colleagues comment, and their comments are very substantial. we can anticipate having more resources with the affordable care act, but we must do, however, is make sure our programs are trained, they have staff that are trained, they are prepared, they have the information systems that will allow them to link up with other resources in the community, whether it's housing, employment, child welfare, criminal justice. we want to make sure that these programs are able to address the unique needs of individuals with dis

barbara l. kornblau, j.d., disabilities attorney and professor, school of health professions and studies, university of michigan-flint, flint, michigan. ed hammett, consumer advocate, marbury, maryland. dr. clark, how many people in the united states have a disability? that number is not exactly clear, but we estimate roughly 53 million people have a disability, and it may be larger because, again, it turns on new classification schema. but at least 53 million. john, how do we define a disability? well, a disability is really kind of a legal and an administrative term. and in some quarters you might be considered disabled, but by another jurisdiction you might not be considered disabled. but i use the term, often, physical sensory, cognitive, and developmental disability to really clarify what we're talking about. so, barbara, in terms of a real sense, so there are individuals who may have had accidents are now paraplegic, quadriplegic- in terms of those with a substance use or mental illness, a

barbara bush is sitting on the chair with millie watching her husband may tennis. you're going to feel that moment. you're going to feel the moment and feel the emotion when she hugs her arms around an aids child. susan sterner, you're going to feel the tension in the air when mrs. laura bush arrives in afghanistan for the first time. you're going to feel the emotion, the compassion that mrs. bush has when she is in a classroom with kids and the kids are up around her legs giving her just wrapping their arms around her. david kennerly, we know him in the business as kennerly. he has been around i think he photographed martha washington, i'm not quite sure. and if he didn't photograph martha washington, he'll tell you that he did. so, be very careful. his name is synonymous with excellence. he has photographed more first ladies i think than there really are. and it's a pleasure to welcome them. i have -- i have one rule that i always say to my staff when i'm hiring photographers. i want a photographer who thinks with their hearts, with their heart, not with their he

this is barbara hemmerly-galist.'s now at a healthy weight, but a year ago, doctors determined she was obese, even though her body mass index, or bmi, indicated she was normal. >> when i saw the results, it was utterly shocking. >> reporter: bmi estimates a person's body fat based on height and weight alone. dr. eric braverman, who led the study, says the widely used method is overly simplistic and significantly underestimates the prevalence of obesity. >> bmi doesn't tell you how much fat you have. that is the predictor of heart disease, cancer, stroke, gall bladder, fertility problems, depression, anxiety, sleep disorder, et cetera. >> reporter: the study looked at 1,393 adults and found that 48% of women were misclassified as non obese based on bmi. for women, bmi doesn't take into account the loss of muscle mass that comes with age. dr. braverman says a commonly used test to check for bone density, called a dexascan, is more accurate because it measures bone, muscle and fat. it also costs several hundred dollars.

it turned out she and barbara de priest bowled on the same league. so i reached out to barbara. barbara, are you here? you and your grandchildren and your children. maybe people can say hi to members of the de priest family. and when i reached out to her, her husband had just died. she said i'll get back to you. when she did, i was in school taking the course with bill. she wanted to make sure that her artifacts weren't just sitting in dusty shelves and they would get public exposure. so i thank the white house historical society for honoring that prayer. and also the story about the documents in the home on 15th street, a colleague of mine james k. hill, i don't know if he's here, but he happened to tell me that story which was a nice little bit. but as i did the research, the big question was to me, what did she look like? because there was so much negativity. then i found this picture. my father said you work in a library. why don't you go down there and see what's in there. it finally done donned on me to go look at the black press and there she was in "the chicago defender"

so far, barbara, the beltway looks so much better. we had a serious crash that tied up the inner loop of the beltway at bonners road for some time, but you can see it's out of the roadway. the travel speed looks so much better in the loop here at 61 miles per hour. that not bad at all. here's a live look at van doren street. >>> a car crashed through a 7-eleven in silver spring. it went through the window just before 4:30 this morning. as you can see, there is some broken glass out there. nobody, apparently, was hurt. >>> police accused of shooting a college student in oakland, california was targeting a female administrator. she was not at school at the time. 49-year-old one ngo was accused of the shooting. they say he was expelled possibly for behavioral problems. >> we do know he was upset at administrators at the school. we do know he was upset with several students here because of the way he was treated when he was enrolled here two months ago. >> reporter: ngo reportedly has local ties to our area. according to the san francisco

tell us something about barbara bush that maybe we don't know. >> well, you know, i think barbara, everybody knows her because i think she was so open, and, you know, yes, there may be a cute little story or something that hasn't been written, but i think she had a very unique ability to really be a very warm and friendly, and she was everybody's friend. and so i remember back in the days at the vice president's, and, you know, television was becoming more and more important, and, of course, the first ladies aren't on it often, but often vice president bush would be on it, but people would come to the house, and i would always greet them and say good-bye to them. and they were like i just had no idea. they were so warm and they were so friendly and so humorous, and oh, we love them. i just didn't know this about them at all, and i think sometimes that isn't always shown on television or, you know, you can read it, but you can't -- but there's nothing like actually being there, and -- but back to barbara, i think she was all of that, and she was always interested in everybody. and -- >> how d

we can argue this it is more confident going forward and as barbara mentioned, he did praise president obama for discounting war and emphasizing diplomacy. he has kept a less idealogical former president ha sham i as part of the expediency counsel and one of the his advisers stated iran is open to compromise, et cetera, et cetera. we can list a number of other positive indications and the hope here is that sanctions will put enough pressure on hom any that he will back down. we have to also look at what is it, what are his personal political interests, what are his ideological interests as the iran's supreme leader and more importantly, what is his world view? how does he see the world, the united states, and the nuclear program? when we look at hamanee, he really believes the islamic republic is engaged in conflict with the united states. he believes the united states has never accepted the islamic revolution of 1979 and will never accept the revolution. he doesn't believe that the united states is just opposed to iran's specific policies on the nuclear program, for example, but he ha

i think all four of you might -- barbara, first? >> they do work in some cases. we have the south africa example where sanctions did help get rid of the apartheid regime and that's usually referred to. we have sanctions because it's a substitute for war and substitute for diplomacy. people don't want to declare war in this country. i mean, even the congress, even some of the more gung-ho neo conservatives don't want to declare war. and so what do you have? you have sanctions. they've taken on a momentum of their own. this started under the george w. bush administration. our treasury department has become one of the most creative parts of the u.s. government in terms of devising ever more clever ways to destroy the iranian economy. i was at a session with ehud olmert where he basically bragged that when he was prime minister in his talks with the u.s. treasury department, they had already come up with the idea of excpeling iran from what's called the swift, which enables countries to do trance alcohols with foreign banks. and he says this was already an idea they
