we heard from congressman xavier becerra. are collected officials that are supposed to represent what the american people want. is it really, you know, is this along partisan lines, or are you saying that the people that have been chosen by the people are just not making the right decision? >> of course you have members of both parties sitting on the committee. you have the gop members on the committee and decide we are not going to call these witnesses because we don't like what they have to say. we are not going to call the head of atf because he was a that he never disclosed any information to the attorney general. apparently, the committee is not interested in that. it is only interested in facts that will support its determined conclusion. as a prosecutor, that is not how you run an investigation. you asked the ask the question why shouldn't the justice department to turn over everything and anything? gregg: only 30 seconds left. >> i think both have acted properly at times, to cover deliberate internal to medications so

becerra, you have one more question? >> yeah, let me -- and to sort of feed off of this because i think often times we have conversation because we're accustomed to having this conversation. i think we don't explain it in terms of most americans' look at it from. so, essentially, what we're saying is back in 983 when social security was nearing a point where it wouldn't be able to pay all benefits, congress working with -- excuse me -- working with president reagan worked to deal with that, and the result was a system where americans paid a little bit more, those who were retired got a little less in benefits, and the result was this reserve that was being built up because americans have since 1982 been contributing more into the system that's been needed to pay recipients, the beneficiaries. now, i think most americans would say if i gave you hard cash whether you're a bank or any other place where i could store my money and you tell me you're going to pay me an interest on that cash but you're expecting at some point t

becerra says: "..and, i think at this stage, what we find is hat millions of americans have already benefitedtssof thisshistoric reform. and believe most americans will say, we're never going to go back to &pttose days where my child could be denied ccess to my health insurance because he or she has a pre-existing condition." on the condition he supreme court knocks down all or parr of the law, the speaker of the house, john boehner, sent his memberss aamemo warning them not to spike the ball if that happens. and, rrpublicans are looking at a broad plan tt move forward. issa says: "..because all along, we've the solution. f this goes n't - away, we still have to start dealing wiih the problem." the main question the court is considering is if its constitutional to force americann to purchase mandatory health care they fail to do so. whaaever the court decides, it ccold have a sweeeinn impacc on thh presidential race. also, the court is considering this: will they decide the fate ttday of the controversial arizona police fficers to check immigration status during traffic stops and make it a cr

. >> we played a chunk of congressman becerra saying people should pray the court does not come downitical tendencies. do you agree with him on that? >> well, look. as i said, if they're just judging the law on the her its, this is clearly within the commerce clause. we mandate car insurance on everybody. there are all kinds of mandates. the original case with the courts even scalia stuck with for 70 years said we can mandate that a farmer can't grow this amount of rice or that amount of wheat. >> if it's a 5-4 decision and it finds the law is unconstitutional would you agree with the congress saying, listen, it looks political? >> i would like to read the decision first. i'll say this. i'm troubled about previous decisions in the court, particularly citizens united and bush v. gore being highly political and worried of justice scalia's ventures in to politics way away from the law. >> we're all saying that same thing. expecting it in an hour and 8 minutes. senator chuck schumer of new york, thanks for talking with us. >> thank you. >> we'll be back with more as we count the countdow

one of the lessons the we draw from the demonstration projects that have been flown in the cms on becerra coordination is that to be successful the program of care coordination has to be carefully woven into the practice impairment where it occurs. it's not possible to achieve good care coordination by an imposing it externally. it's not the sort of thing that you can design from a distance but to just sort of put in to a local health care delivery system. instead it needs to be more organic and part of the care delivery so our general approach is to say that the medicare should move away from fee-for-service payment to the payment systems that a stylish but financial and clinical responsibilities for the defined population or for an episode of carow and then allow the providers the flexibility to adapt care coordination to the particular circumstances but hold them accountable for the results of on quality and cost. >> thank you. mr. stark is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you mr. sherman. >> fran, thank you very much. in reforming the benefit design, you've got both cap to protec
