>> this is how you start an interview with dean kamen.een his most famous invention, the segway. it was built on medical breakthroughs. he started building what became the first insulin pump when he was still in high school. he and his company have developed more than 400 patents. here's a home dialysis machine. and this wheelchair, the ibot. you can dance, you can spin, you can stand six feet tall. >> you fight with somebody in one of these, you're going to be the one that goes down. >> reporter: what do you think of what's going on with health care right now? the whole health care debate? >> well, sadly, i think it's a debate that has so polarized two sides that there's not a lot of common sense being said by anybody. >> there does seem to be this inherent skepticism or cynicism even about big companies and big government, to some extent as well. if you had a moment with president obama and he was collecting all of these opinion on health care now, just have a couple of moments, what would you say to him? because he wants to spend less
