i was exposed to that as a boy, and actually had on my hands and entire original issue of the chicago tribune from april 15th, 1865, and it is one of my treasured possessions. i was exposed to other stories as a boy too. my grandmother worked for chicago newspapers. the detail end of that era, the sun-times, the sun-times, those reporters hung out at bars, dressed like cops, acted like an, pretended to be them. it was an era of wild storytelling and i remember when i was 6 my grandmother told me this, and she loved telling wild terrifying stories, she said did you know that during the 1893 world fair a madman doctor murdered 100 girls and as all their bodies in acid? i was 6 years old when she told that to me. years later when my agent said what you want to do next? when i was a boy my grandmother told me as sort of a madman doctor who does all girls in acid. i want to do that and my agent said do you know who eric larsen is? i said yes. he said i happen to know he is in the middle of writing that very book. so i did manhunt instead of writing about dr. holmes. another time my grandfather who

chicago tribune, not usually an i'd yo lodge cam newspaper.an investigation of obama care in illinois. health insurance deductibles are going through the roof for family coverage. obama administration and illinois officials tautded the lower than expected monthly premiums that would make insurance more affordable for millions of americans. but a tribune analysis shows that 21 of the 22 lowest price plans offered on the illinois health insurance exchange for cook county have annual deductibles of more than 4,000 for an individual, and 8,000 for family coverage. those deductibles which represent the out of pocket money consumers must pay on health care, before most insurance benefits kick in are higher than what many conservatives expected or may be able to stomach. the reason health insurance premiums will cost more for many americans, they include things like maternity care. in the past, they did not include those things. every health insurance company, you may know has taken on more claims. americans are not going to farewell in the short ter

i want to start with looking at a little piece of this "chicago tribune" put together here. a quote from one of the people who have been exploring the health care system trying to find out what is best for his family. so, this man, who was a nurse practitioner. he says when you take $10,000 out of my family's pocket each year, that is disposable income, retirement savings that will not be going to the local economy. i want people to have health care, just didn't realize i would be the one paying for it personally. >> w we're paying for it personally because we pay more money to cover those who don't have it. there are some problems in that, every state is different. those states with the most exchanges, you are seeing lower premiums. one of the things it has to be straightened out is it varies from state to state, county to county based on specifics that can't be controlled. they really have to get it so that it is better around the country. mostly the blue states that were not so opposed to obamacare that have implement it without bringing the federal government to do it ha

the front page of "the washington post," the front page of the "chicago tribune," there's a new story coming to say that deals with the fact that the health care system isn't working very well. and when the smoke clears and the exemption for congressional staffers survives, i think next sunday will look a lot different. >> i want to pick up with jim pinker to know's point. you have the liberal media and some say the mainstream media against the funding public, it's simply not worked and now everybody is scrambling to avoid a government default. but on the other hand, you have many conservative xhen taters saying this is foley. but jim says there's more of a class divide than an idealal divide. jim is saying when the smoke clears, maybe we'll get to this obama care story. the problem is the conservatives were the ones who set this house on fire. now to say the press isn't focussing on obama care, if the house is burning down, you can't blame that we're not focusing on the grounds keeping. that's what happened. >> there's a very good "new york times" story that this computer disaster of

when a publication like the chicago tribune, the president's home town newspaper, has come out and said that, like us, they believe that we should have a one-year time-out on obamacare. you know something is wrong. >> the problem with the push is that the president is not going to fund the law. where they may finally find some compromise, the president is probably willing to delay a year or two the medical device tax within the health care, but major overhaul, he's not giving in on. >> the rollout of the mechanism for signing up for obamacare, but all conditions -- even the president's own former press secretary says it was disastrous and people should have been fired. but that was drowned out by the noise of the shutdown, and republicans are saying, man, i wish we were focusing on this instead of that. >> there are republicans saying that. one republican senator last week said, i understand the filibuster by ted cruz. this person says he still wants to overhaul the healthcare law but look at all these glitches, day after day, newspapers around the country, and this senator, republican,

last night talking points reported on an investigation by the chicago tribune this as many workers ininois are getting hammered by obama care costs. the stark truth is this. if you are making money, you will pay more for your healthcare. that's because the president and his party want to give free healthcare to the poor. the only way to do that is to take from those who have. there is no other way. as we have reported from the very beginning, president obama wants to redistribute income. that's his political philosophy. almost everything he does leads in that direction. higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy. higher local taxes. higher energy taxes. higher taxes if you want a vehicle. in fact, right now the feds are receiving more tax money from us than ever before in the history of the country. and where is all of the tax money going? to those who do notvery much. food stamps have exploded. disability payments off the chart. new entitlement programs all day long. the american people elected president obama twice. he told us he was a moderate. he told us healthcare costs would g

bill: i saw an editorial two days ago in the chicago tribune, and it was scathing.o happy with anything it has seen so far. what did npr say about this? >> npr said this morning, who you would expect to be on the president's side, said it's a joke. the web site is a joke. and that is because the way this thing is constructed nobody can get through, the information is not reliable, people are getting bad information, they can't find what they want, they're told what they're charged without knowing how much of a subsidy they're getting -- bill: subsidies are a big deal. do you think if the software were better, that we'd be seeing better results? request we answer that -- can we answer that? >> i think you'd see more enrollees if the software was better, and that's just the problem. from a point of view of people who care about how much money this government spends, if there's an onslaught of people signing up and getting free health care or subsidies, it's going to be very expensive. bill: the other thing we talked about is the sticker shock many people have reported

this observation is not unique to me. 2013, the august 8, "chicago tribune" wrote an editorial that says free speech is not always free. against that right commerce and when senators have you on their enemies list, and it would be wrong for u.s. senator to use their law as a cudgel against their enemies, and i certainly hope that the senate hearing does not become an avenue to suppress free speech. a final point i would like to make. by its definition, the stand your ground law does not apply to aggressors. it explicitly excludes aggressors. theuld note, ms. mcbath, fact that you described that evening your son lost his life, the defense would not apply, would not even arguably apply. only, only,nse that only applies to those who are the victims of potential victims of other violent aggressors. only triggered when there is an imminent attack that could cause death or serious probably injury. so this is a doctrine that, by definition, does not apply to aggressors and only applies when serious bodily injury is at risk, so the question we have to ask, is, in a confrontation between a violen

. >>> for more on the situation, i'm joined by the "chicago tribune's" clarence page. >> i'm at the otherd position to be in. what's your assessment of how the president has played this? do you think his strategy will have proven to have worked if mitch mcconnell and harry reid reach some kind of agreement? >> well, it appears to be working already, martin. why did the republicans decide to go to the mattresses over the debt deal? because this deadline gives them some leverage. that's really what they've wanted all along in their battle to try to end obama care or defund it, roll it back, delay it, anything. and we saw their demands rolled back last week as obama stood firm. they realized, finally, we're going to get any cut back in obama care. it's already out there, in effect. so they're going for other things. you don't hear obama care mentioned that much anymore. you hear talk about a sequestration and the caps on sequestration or the deadlines for the debt ceiling, pushing that back, that sort of thing. so actually, i think president obama has been winning. he's willing to negotiate.

the chicago tribune looked at 22 plans offered in illinois. 21 had annual deductables of more than $4,000, $8,000 for families, plus, big co-pays. would you sign up for that? it takes a minimum of 7 million people signed up and paying up in full to be financially viable. and that doesn't look likely now, does it? it's not going to happen. the president and his top advisor, valerie garrett are ignoring this and pressing ahead regardless. think with that means? endless fraud. you don't have to verify your income. endless subsidies, massive expansion of free health care. a hard-pressed middle class that has to pay more and more and a government-run health system that resembles a giant dmv. this is what the president wants, ultimately, a single pair nationallized health system. america reshaped in a leftist european style image, that's what's at stake here. this is arguably far more important than disputes over spending and borrowing once you've got obamacare, you cannot get rid of it and we will all be worse off. do not ignore this. get paid to do something you really le, what would you do?"
