later in life, adults need preventive services as well, treatment of hypertension.trokes if we simply did these preventive things. we worry too much in this country about treating people once they're sick and not about preventing the disease. >> this question of preventative care is part of why president obama went to massachusetts and said this obama care is like romney care. one part is it will provide access to preventative care services for a broader group of people and that will bring down health care costs not only for individual households but also for state and the nation. why, then, are republican governors opting out of something that would, in fact, bring down costs? >> one of the things you brought up, you brought up the disparity in terms of coverage among different ethnic groups. there's also a dispar fi in quality of care separate from coverage and that's one of the big challenges with the medicaid program. for example, in new york state, for every dollar a private insurance pays a doctor, medicaid pays 30 cents. that means a lot of people don't get t

that psychiatric illnesses are medical conditions, just like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer, aids, all of those. but they have been considered as separate. so the parity law now will mandate the structure of the affordable care act to the extent that we-- the insurance industry and the government-- and this has been true in government programs -- will have to provide for equal types of benefits for mental illnesses and substance abuse problems as they do for other illnesses in medicine. >> sreenivasan: so this is something people who perhaps didn't have insurance, if they went through a health care exchange-- >> yes. >> sreenivasan: these are now benefits that they are entitled to. >> yes. i don't know the wording of the exchanges and how they develop, but to the extent that the insurance companies that participate in the exchanges have more than 50-- have more than 50 people in the system or insurers that have more than 50 people in the workplace, and to the extent the mental health benefits are offered-- they have to be offered. that's one thing that's different. t

saver: high blood pressure, hypertension, is the number one modifiable risk factor for stroke. high blood pressure increases the risk of stroke fivefold compared to people who don't have high blood pressure. the conventional definition for high blood pressure is having a systolic blood pressure-- the upper number-- that's 160 or higher, and the diastolic blood pressure, or lower number, that's 85 or 90 or higher. if you have blood pressure in that range, then to work with your physician in lowering the blood pressure. usually the first steps are lifestyle changes: doing relaxation, identifying stressors in your life and removing those, and dietary interventions. many people have salt-sensitive high blood pressure, and reducing dietary intake of salt can reduce their blood pressure. if the blood pressure remains elevated despite these non-pharmacologic treatments, then drugs can be very helpful and very well tolerated. high blood pressure has been called the silent killer because people get no symptoms from it, while it's slowly producing all this damage to blood vessels in the

so diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol are all diseases that can be detected in an annual eye examand taken care of early before they become chronic and before they become a huge expense to the system. >> the problems are what they are. what should be done now to fix what's been done already? >> well, i think, you know, there was an article in the journal yesterday. i think the president is on the right track by saying, look, these coverages that people have today, you should be able to continue them. the way to do that and make the whole system still work would be to continue them in the exchanges. so the 120 million people that have access to vision care today ought to be able to continue to access that coverage in the exchanges. >> all right. we will leave it there. great to have you on the program, rob. thanks so much. >> thanks, maria. >> rob lynch joining us, vsp global ceo and president. >>> will the dow close out the week above 16,000 tomorrow? wall street's market pros will give you a leg up on friday's action. stay with us. you really love, what would you do?" ♪ [ woman ]
