his death triggered a passion in brenner to reform the camden police department.it was mired in dysfunction. >> i threw my hands up and said, i give up on helping to reform the police department in camden, but i think i can take a lot of the ideas that i learned in the process and bring them to health care. >> brenner had been mapping crime data to locate the city's most violent corners. just like the new york city police department did in the '90s, producing great success. so he started mapping health care spending, identifying hot spots where the costs were the highest. using medical billing records, brenner found that just 1% of the patients accounted for 30% of health care costs in camden. and that's not all he discovered about the city's three hospitals. >> we learned that someone went 113 times in one year, someone went 324 times in five years. in similar work up in trenton they found someone who went 450 times in one year. >> these were people with complicated medical histories and chronic illnesses. one patient alone racked up $3.5 million in medical bills

i was very lucky in that, the brenners are a family of letter writers. everyone had a typewriter in the era before computers and bang away at typewriters in the middle of the night as children and my father and mother, long, long letters. anita brenner turned out to be the same kind of obsessive letter-writer pack right. all of her letters were in the university of texas, the great archives of the world. i was able to go on a traumatic day and see she had neatly kept hundreds of letters that my father and family wrote to each other in the 20s. i saw patterns, the anger that had gone on 60 years before i was on the planet that became stamped on us. it became our dna. >> anything that helped you get insight as to why so much of your brother's anger and passion into what you regarded as coo coo politics? >> that is an interesting question. it is hard. what i have learned is, i have written biographies, bingham family of louisville. we take a letter of a piece of evidence, there is a ah-huh, this anger daughter wrote a letter to her father. my grandfather wo

using medical billing records, brenner found that just 1% of the patients accounted for 30% of healthamden. that's not all he discovered about the city's three hospitals. >> we learned that someone went 113 times in one year and someone went 324 times in five years. in similar work up in trent on, they found someone who went 450 times in one year. >> these were people with complicated medical histories and chronic illnesses. one patient alone racked up $3.5 million in medical bills over a five-year period. >> they are the difficult patients to treat and no one is being paid and incentivized to pay attention to them. >> what's more, the problem is america's problem. 5% of americans accounted for half of our nation's health care costs in 2009. this is perhaps the crucial statistic to understand about america's health care problem. if brenner could crack his city's crisis, maybe his model could help the country. >> we met with his primary care dock. >> he founded the health pride providers, a group of nurses and volunteers who treat the worst of the worst. one patient at a time. >> every

the next reader is summer brenner. . >> i'm going it read today an excerpt from anana, queen of heaven and earth. i wanted to say a few words about anana. this is the oldest literary work that we have. these are the cuniform tablets that were excavated in the late 1880's and early 1890's by the university of pennsylvania. tens of thousands of fragments of cuniform fragments. the story of anana starts in her adolescence. it travels through her journey as a queen and a goddess, and much of her story is devoted to the love, a very passionate love, for dimusi, who is a shepherd who she takes as her husband, lover and king. and this is called the return. a lament was raised in the city. my lady weeps bitterly for her young husband. anana weeps bitterly for her young husband. woe for her husband, woe for her young love, woe for her house, woe for her city. dimusi was taken captive in aruk. he will no longer bathe in aradu. he will no longer treat the mother of anana of his mother. he will no longer perform his sweet task among the maidens of the city. he will no longer raise his sword higher

brenner with health care. finds the 5%.olitically and culturally, it represents a 50% reduction in revenue for the health insurance company and the doctor and everybody involved. many of these solutions are very negative toward a small group of people's very unique business apparatus which is being disrupted by the genius that's ma any festing. i'm looking for your advice to accelerate this transition to the world of abundance that you speak of. >> it's very simple. if you like the world the way it is and want to keep it the same, you can do that. that's what institutions keep things the way they are. but real innovation, real breakthroughs require disrupting what you have and reinventing it. so we are happy we have cell phones and ebay and all these things now, but it disrupted entire businesses. so land lines or the local mom and pop store, but things become cheaper and it's moving that way. it's a crazy idea before the day it's a breakthrough. the crazy ideas are coming out of entrepreneurs backed by the wealthiest today

harvey brenner of johns hopkins university testified before this committee on june 15th and he warned that, quote, the unemployment rate is well established as a risk factor for elevated illnesses and mortality rates in epidemiological studies performed since the early 1980s. it is true that studies as far back as 1985 have warned of the health impacts of unemployment. a study published that year in the american journal of public health by dr. margaret lynn found that, quote, after unemployment, symptoms of sematization which includes pain, a whole bunch of different symptoms, also depression and anxiety, were significantly greater in the unemployed than in the employed. more recent studies include yale researcher dr. william galo who released a study in 20 06 78 and that found that results suggest that the true cost of late career unemployment exceed financial deprivation and include substantial health consequences. unemployment's health impact on children is also discussed in the report. the national center for health statistics has found that children in poor families were four tim

representative james steps send brenner, we spoke to him, fox spoke to him, vice chairman of the housed technology he said i'm a proponent of open scientific research but the stakes literally couldn't be higher. al qaeda in the arabian peninsula put out a call for arms for brothers in degrees in micro biology or chemistry. we know our enemies are considering these weapons. how frightening. a spokesman we spoke to said looks at it differently. >> when you get an organization such as al qaeda which is established threat that is it looking to kill lots of people, for them it is not a realistic option. >> the other question is, arthel, how dangerous this really is in this case? he is saying they couldn't use it anyway but how dangerous is it in this case? it is disappointing because the scientists that came out with this virusing looks like they were overembellishing it. their initial statements made it look a lot worse than it really was. it may not be that dangerous. but i talked to lori garrett, senior fellow at council for foreign relations. you know what she says? it may never be appr
