right now, jason carol is on the scene. ivan watson is there as well., what did you see today that jumped out at you as part of your coverage? >> so much jumped out at us. specifically dealing with relief and trying to get the relief to the people who need it the most. we were at a place earlier today called delmar -- we went to one place that used to be a golf course where haitian's elite used to play. now it's a massive tent city where we came across thousands of people there. many of them in need of water and food. at one point, we saw military helicopters come in, drop in relief supplies, and most relief organizers will tell you that's not the best way to distribute goods, simply because when you do that, the strong can get to it because they run up the hill sooids or wherever the supplies are being dropped. but the weak, the elderly, the sick, those are the people who then cannot get to the supplies. so that's one of the moments that was tough to watch. but on the flip side of that, we made it out to the area called canape bear. that's in the wes p

as carol levine said in her article, the whole is often eclipsed by a separate part. that hole, although i realize there are plenty of my own biases in it. we include people receiving long-term care from public programs, from family members, from private paid workers, whether they live in the community or institutions, whether they are elderly or of not elderly, whether they are nearing the end of their lives or perhaps have a stable and live on disability. to do that we analyze data from five national surveys conducted by various federal agencies. for details, see the article which you have that is written -- which was funded by the national institute for research. how many people need long-term care services? that depends on how you define the long term care population. it can arrange all the way up to 11 million people if you include people need help with any kind of routine daily activities. . . often quite a bit larger than the institutional population, which is between 1.5 million n 1.8 million people. who are these people who need long-term service? it is well

host: carol, republican line, hello. caller: i am not necessarily a republican, but not really. there are conservative issues, but i think that mr. steele is being disingenuous referring to republicans as reckless when they are locked out of committee meetings. hard to be reckless when you have no effect. host: let's go back to that column and get some more contacts for what he was talking about. "republicans were so determined to deny president obama and achievement that they voted against their own proposal, asking obama for strong support to solve the national debt crisis, looking for lasting bipartisan solution to the nation back on a sound fiscal half. that proposal was rejected by the senate last week. that is what he was talking about. let's go to our next caller. what do you think? does the president need a gop congress in the sense that having two parties wielding power in congress would be a productive thing? or would it be obstructive? let's go to court royal, south carolina, where jennifer is waiting on the independent line. caller: thank you for c-span. it is import

carol, republican. good morning. >> caller: yes.i have a question in regards to the health care affects on new job creation and what it will do to the job economy. one of the questions i have, their is a lot of corruption in the city of chicago, and a lot of the newspapers. husband has been in jail for a couple years. while he was in jail for embezzlement and corruption he wrote the book that is the foundation of health care. is that the same? thank you. >> guest: to that health care. make the broader connection. it is really rough. a lot of businesses, we are hearing from a lot of smaller businesses that there is uncertainty about what is going to happen to health care, to energy, taxes in general. i think that they believe that this uncertainty is really hurting them. they don't want to make plans to expand right now with this uncertainty over head. that said, i think the health care bill, at least if it is well implemented and designed ought to reduce some of the uncertainty for employers about what their health care costs can be

people like carol here have been doing five jobs when they used to do one. where you start?oung guys did not get the keys to the store unless the cupboards are bare. i had to get really disciplined. job one was communications. people do not write you a check, $30 or otherwise, if they are not hearing what you are doing. if they are not celebrating your victories, if they do not understand where you are trying to take the country. job one was communications. job two was raising money. . . >> people are very distinguished, coming back home to the naacp and encouraging people in the field to do the very same thing. you have to understand when you're trying to build membership that everything you do has to do with building membership. winning victories, as well as selling memberships, all about convincing somebody to write you a check for $30. and we're having great success despite these hard times, and we're back and growing again, and that's very exciting. >> i'm with the class of 2008.

seven of the same people, including british carol that was active in this area are advising in general may crystal -- mcchrystal. there was an article today talking about a whole tribe, about 400,000 members now want to fight the taliban. you have to realize the circumstances that a tried and a village in pakistan decided to friday taliban, they were targeted with brutal suicide bombings killing more than 100 people at a volleyball match. in order to make good on the offer of an alternative that can create the conditions for peace, you have to be prepared to help fund it and provide protection for people. as part of the planning. we do not have any plans to add money to the reintegration fund. as a said, we have a significant amount of money being used coming to the american military. this is an international effort, and a number of partners have signed up and made commitments to the reintegration fund. they will be working in the same arena with the same purpose. >> our last question is from bloomberg news. >> what did you hear from chinese foreign minister today that assures you that

you heard from carol and others that improving care transitions is exceedingly important. among the population of people with serious disabilities, transitions in health and health care are the norm. episodes of acute care resulting in frequent hospitalizations are very common and much of our data on this is from the nursing-home population but in a six months period one in six nursing home residents are in the hospital. 40% are active in care during 30 days prior to death. within the broader population of those receiving long-term service and support living in the community 40% will be hospitalized each year. these hospitalizations are disruptive and fraught with complications and frequently associated with poor outcomes. accelerating cognitive decline and medical errors and affordable hospitalization. individuals receiving long-term service and support are especially vulnerable to the failures in our current system. lack of transfer of information, poor communication between family members and others, inadequate preparation of staff in acute and long-term sectors to addr
