we checked fink's cell phone records.t a call at 9:19 p.m., an hour before he was killed, from a blocked cell phone number. phone records indicate that the call originated here in new york, but it was an international cell--sattelite phone-- registered to bahrain cellular. well, good luck getting a warrant from the government of bahrain. run down fink's client and artist list, see if any of them had international numbers, and watch your mouth.

sheri fink, doctor sheri fink wrote about the hospital in new orleans and i'm wondering if you are aware that situation and how you would respond to that in light of what you have told us today. >> okay, so to give some context, this hospital in new orleans has a number of situations going on. but a number of locations around the country are suffering such extensive deficits and debts that hospitals are closing among the sort of safety net group and among some private hospitals we see sort of a cherry picking phenomenon, which is related to this post during the recession and cents. i did not talk a lot about health care and health care insurance and how that is sort of affected during the recessionary periods. but i will say there are very interesting studies back in the 1990s of the portion of health that we could buy the we give everyone universal health care insurance and if everyone had a fantastic perfect surgery and so on. how much could we improve the u.s. health care? without commenting particularly and i don't have any details of their financial situation. but from what i unders
