the one thing that i'm worried about, this smells an awful lot like chicago style politics. where you don't care what the rules are. you're out to go after your enemies for anything. and i'm not saying they did it. but i certainly don't like the way -- when kathleen sebelius is now hitting up the very people she regulates, it may not be illegal, but it is certainly unethical. it is inappropriate. it's wrong. it may not be illegal, but it's wrong to do that. >> senator, thank you very much. >> you bet. >> if you were watching this show, now you know. before the fire. before conservative groups were targeted by the irs, there was frank getting audits from the irs. he was cleared because he had the money to fight this nonsense. told us exclusively. wait 'til you hear about all the others who didn't have the money and just said the hell with this nonsense. for now, we leave you with the acting irs chief. >> can you tell us why you never told congress? >> i don't have a comment. >> that -- >> i'll be here on friday. >> sir, senator hatch says you purposely misled him by not informing him about this.

how do affluent people qualify for medicaid long-term care, and as the chicago fed article referenced earlier says, get as many or more benefits from it than por poor people? disconnect, right? why do the national health expenditure accounts show decades of skyrocketing public long-term care costs and plummeting out-of-pocket expenditures? disconnect. why does peer-reviewed research show that medicaid crowds out private long-term care insurance? i mean, if you've got to spend down into total impoverishment, why is it that the public is in denial about long-term carriesings and costs? -- care risks and costs? why don't programs convince people to buy long-term care insurance if the risks and costs are so huge? are people just ignorant of the enormous financial risk that they face? or stupid? how arrogant to assume that the problem is that the people are just not smart enough to understand they need this stuff. why have the long-term care insurance partnerships had so little impact? and why is private financing of home care minimal while medicare and medicaid home care financing explode

have visited emergency rooms that have been acting as primary care physicians for, you know, los angeles. right. you want to go to chicago go to an emergency room on saturday evening in a major urban center, that will be enough for you to say we need something to change. what is going on in cook county? what do you see obviously there's a problem from people in the health insurance, they are using most expensive and health mechanism problem. we can't afford that anymore. i'm not sure the status is still real at this point. they move around. it's my understanding that people who carry their own insurance or have insurance through the companies are paying somewhere on average $12 00 per year extra in order to subsidize the emergency room. >> obamacare is a positive development to urban areas. for a long time, public health systems like cook county have provided services to everyone; including the undocumented. as should be the case with an institution that dedicated to caring for the most vulnerable population. we have lived up to that. having said that, the strained place on the public health system is very significant. o

, students are helping to shape their schools, they're going take care of their schools in a very different way. >> you mentioned chicago. the mayor is trying to get his arms around it, but there's a huge partner and teacher uproar over closing schools that the district has decided are not needed, that are underutilized. union now going to court. how do you deal with that evolution in a place like chicago? >> it's been very, very tough. obviously that's where my entire upbringing was there, and it's been from a distance, hard to watch. i have friends on all sides of the debate. what i will say, andrea, there's no educator i know that wakes up in the morning and wants to close schools. when you close schools, there's no upside. kids lose. communities kids. communities lose. teachers lose. what's the counterexample? where are they not closing schools? it's not chicago. it's right here in d.c. it's philly. it's other places. it's a really interesting counterexample. not that there's one simple solution, but denver's public schools are actually growing in population. schools that they closed five, six, seven years ago are a

chicago bears? i don't know if i want that picture on the internet. >> why do we care about chris christie's weight?> you know what, i asked that today and people, it was amazing to me, they go well, i want to know that if the commander in chief is in charge, i don't have to worry about him having a heart attack because he's so big. i think it's one of those things where we obsess about it in the tabloid world. you see every paper or magazine when you go to the checkout about who's fat as a celebrity, who looks ugly in a swimsuit this summer, who's hot and sexy, and i think that ties into it in a weird way where people say well, i want to know my commander in chief is in great tip-top shape. look, the president smokes and he certainly smoked a lot during the campaign and that really didn't seem to be that big of an issue, and i'm not sure, to be honest with you, that chris christie's weight is really as big of a deal as some have made it out to be. >> president taft -- >> couldn't get out of the bathroom. >> you've got to put it in perspective. >> hey, that's when we didn't have tabloids, right? no

chicago $2.5 billion a year, which amounts to $2500 per family. that's reflected in hospital costs, ambulances, autopsies, police overtime and trauma care.ill say matthew, matt, that the trauma piece of this i think is overlooked. you guys talk about this in the story. these communities have been traumatized. this is sort of as i said before, systemic failure and an increasingly isolated problem. not isolated in terms of -- its importance and the fact that it is not happening in multiple places. but communities are sort of the university of chicago crime lab study, the exodus of certain parts of the wealthier parts of the city, from chicago. and you increasingly have neighborhoods where there is no sort of hope where there will be a future left. >> think about the $2500 a family. what could you do with that in a school. the school is the one foundation for these kids. they don't have money. there's no -- there's, property taxes and getting into schools. there's -- they're firing teachers. they don't have counselors. if you took the money and put it in the school. put it in a classroom and let these kids talk, you might not have to take t
