the report, but this issue of henrietta black who was a young woman from baltimore who went to johns hopkins in the early 1900s with uterine cancer without her consent and has been used by companies and they made millions of dollars. it was not recent until she received compensation. the fact is that health care and related institutions has proven itself untrustworthy. there institutional trustworthiness. it is the obligation of institutions to engender trust in the community so that when people are sick they feel comfortable seeking care. host: what about grave robbers? dr. blackstone: even well-known schools like my own medical school digging up the bodies of formerly enslaved people and using them for experimentation or using them in learning and teaching within medical school, medical schools have a history of doing this. and again, it is something that i did not know until i was a practicing physician. so when you think about what kind of -- the symbolism of that, the dehumanization of digging up the bodies of formerly enslaved people and use that for teaching purposes, i feel like what

he's a senior fellow at johns hopkins school for advanced international studies, a best selling ortho and middle east analyst in washington, dc. laura, great to have you with us. uh benjamin netanyahu is calling this a turning point is ro, do you think he's ross as well? it's interesting. he called this operation to eliminate natural, a operation new order. and it is certainly his goal to reorder the middle east of the way he's seen it. you know, over the past decade or longer, iran has created a ring of fire around him with their proxies. and what he's trying to do is, is, you know, if not go to the head of the snake as he calls the supreme leader any wrong. and certainly some of the, some of the tentacles that are reaching out from, from a ron. and by striking it and as ra a, that's, that's a way you know, a long way toward guy cheating that goal. i also think he's sort of flexing at saudi arabia and showing that if he can ally align himself with saudi arabian, or moderate arab states, that would provide a nice counterpoint and important counter wait to iran and its anti west anti i

to laura bloomfield, she's a senior fellow at the phillip mail center for strategic studies at johns hopkins school for advanced international studies. best selling author and middle east analyst in washington, d. c. lora, what's next for hezbollah, after and as well as death? as well as this is a game changer, but it isn't the game over. i mean, after all, israel took out the man, but not the missiles. they still have a potent arsenal. um precision guided missiles and it is really population centers any. this was the, the store house of weapons. i kept this really military leaders up at night for the past decade with night sweats. it wasn't from us, it was his bow. so if they have some kind of succession in place and they still can really present a deadly threat to israel, the question is, who's standing and who's willing to lead, given the short life span further leaders. so let's get this straight. you're, you're essentially saying that has a bullet can continue to operate and attack israel even after it's leader. and many top commanders are gone and still do damage to the action. uh they

my views do not represent those of johns hopkins university's or its affiliations. first of all, we do not have a medical debt crisis, we have a medical debt problem. in february this year, -- healthcare estimated and kaiser family foundation estimated 8% of u.s. had medical debts, amount of medical debts, 14% above $10,000. medical debt is a symptom reflecting underlying disease. if we do not address underlying disease, we can never fix medical debt. what is the underlying disease? the high healthcare price. why is healthcare price so high in the u.s.? primarily because our government policies have continuously -- the playing field in favor of large players and detach patients further away from healthcare dollars. -- for example, congress designed 340 b program as buy low, sell low program, the nonprofit hospitals to buy drugs at discounted price and sell them to low income patients at a low price. but guess what happened, these hospitals ended up buying low and selling high. recent studies published with -- found 340 b hospitals, commercial price, can be as high a
