host: joining us from kansas city is sandy praeger, the c- span -- the kansas city insurance regulatorsurance commissioner does. guest: we regulate all of the insurance sold in our states, but policies, the companies and individuals making the sales. we are there to be a voice for the consumer if they are having difficulties. insurance is a legal document, a contract and a promise to pay. we are essentially there to make sure the promise to pay is upheld. host: is there anything unique in kansas lot about health care insurance? -- in kansas law about health care insurance? guest: we have numerous statutes that have been put there by members of our legislature. insurance, especially health insurance, is prone to consumer activism. people that think certain disease states or certain procedures should be included, come to the legislature and ask to have those mandated in their insurance policy. each state varies somewhat in the things that have to be covered by their health insurance policies. it is different than property and casualty. host: one of the issues that was discussed a lot yes

transportation secretary ray lahood was in kansas city, missouri today. nevertheless, polls show many americans just don't think it's working. >> the bill still generates some controversy.... >> brown: the president today blamed negative perceptions, in part, on republicans. he ridiculed many in the g.o.p. for dismissing the effectiveness of the stimulus, even as they claim credit for its largesse. >> there are those-- let's face it-- across the aisle who have tried to score political points by attacking what we did, even as many of them show up at ribbon-cutting ceremonies for projects in their districts. ( laughter ) >> reporter: at the same time, mr. obama acknowledged many americans don't see any improvement, as unemployment hovers near double digits. >> despite the extraordinary work that has been done through the recovery act, millions of americans are still without jobs. millions more are struggling to make ends meet. so it doesn't yet feel like much of a recovery.

kansas city is smack dap in the center of the united states. in many ways, it is very central in it's thinking. it has a broad base of individuals conservative liberals. it does give awe very important prism on the world. and prism on how people see washington and what is going on there. so it is a real delight for me to be here. and also it brings, i think, a perspective to the open market committee meeting that i do participate in. i want to also just point out that it's obviously by this panel. and i've certainly enjoyed sitting through it, that we are move into an era where the government financial is finally taking center stage, at least that's my observation. fiscal majors taken to bring the economy out of the recession, mounting longer term issues around social security and medicare and other growing demands actually put on the

the community of kansas city, the leadership, the elected officials, the employees and kansas city's financial community had worked with the g.s.a. to get a building, a new building to replace the banister complex. the existing building, by any stretch of the imagination, is extremely expensive to operate, will be sparsely occupied, is not conducive as a good workplace and must be replaced. after three years, the plan brought together with g.s.a.'s participation, the leadership of the kansas city community at all levels, from the mayor to the council to the business community, the finance community who was going to put up the money, they -- they came together and they got a commitment, the financing would be available to construct on a lease construction basis. so what happened? with no warning, g.s.a. called up the environment and public works committee the week of the markup when it was supposed to be approved, they effectively put their own hold on the project they developed and approved citing g.s.a.'s shift away from proceeding on a lease construction basis. now, for anyone foll

rural kansas. geographically in geography and in professions that are part of our -- 3 question? >> and hey, bruce. we're running out of time and we'll leave it right there, thanks for calling in though. >> in the first part of your question. there was, there are three bankers on our board of directors. . . our bank has -- the board of governors has oversight of the bank. the congress of the united states can change the structure as is being discussed in one dimension right now if it should decide to do so, so there is a great deal of accountability of the federal reserve banks to its board to have directors, that is those people who live in that region to the board of governors, those]ió people in washington and to the congress who are elected by the american people. host: lake placid, keep it short. caller: the federal reserve is nothing but a big scam created inÑi 1913 to stabilize and to hp prevent inflation and unemployment. it has failed and all it really does is it usurps money from the working class and puts that into the banking system and inflating the economy and then

. >> tom: in our exclusive interview with the kansas city fed bank chief, he also tells us the job market's improving. and january's employment numbers may show he's right. you're watching "nightly business report" for friday, february 5. this is "nightly business report" with susie gharib and tom hudson. "nightly business report" is made possible by: this program was made possible by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. >> susie: good evening everyone. job losses continue to mount. the labor department said today american businesses cut 20,000 jobs in january. >> tom: but susie, there was some improvement. the unemployment rate dipped below 10%. it's now at 9.7%, we'll have more on those jobs numbers later. >> susie: tom, employment is a key factor watched by the fed. so when i sat down for an exclusive interview with tom hoenig, president of the kansas city federal reserve bank, we talked jobs, and a wide range of other topics. hoenig's the lone fed official who voted last week against keeping interest rates at zero for an extended period. tonight, for the f

kansas city, parts of 70, snow is coming. there may be more where that is coming from, especially in the rockies. big area of low pressure. it could bring up to a foot of snowfall in the highest elevations. but into the valleys someplace anywhere from, say, four to even eight inches of snowfall. the problem is that area of low pressure, that storm system is going to eject its way into the central plains and later on i would say tonight into tomorrow, parts of kansas back into, say, missouri, even into nebraska and iowa could have some rain, sleet, snow and unfortunately ice may be in the picture, too. so the ice coupled with strong winds, say 20 to 30 miles per hour, stronger gusts possible on top of that. could see some power outages. keep that in mind. keep this in mind. we're going to be coming up in a a few moments. ♪ >>> if only we could all be forever young. well, shifting to this. it's a question all sorts of organizations face. how do you get people to do something important without being preachy? >> one guy came up w

we are very close to the finish line host: glenn, a republican line, wichita, kansas. caller: good morning. i have a couple of points -- a question mostly. the point i want to make is, with the economy being what it is and expenses going up all the time, this is a real complex issue -- talking about the health care, talking about the pharmaceutical companies, talking about -- each state has its own health care system set up now. i would like to say -- see them put this on the back burner for a while. don't take it off the table. put it on the back burner and let the economy get rolling it did before we bring it back again. guest: of we are convinced that by getting health care cost under control it will help the economy, save jobs. right now many companies have to choose between playing insurance premiums and keeping people employed. small-business owners can't afford to hire new employees because they have to pay these ever increasing health care costs. we have to deal with the realities of our health-care system. i agree with you, it is not easy. i want to make sure

head of the kansas trial lawyers association, now the kansas association for justice. and she is also the state executive who, according to "the new york times," quote, failed to make significant improvement in health or coverage or cost during her two terms as governor, end quote. the top contributor to president obama's presidential campaign was the wregly industry whose donation came to $43 million. more than 80% of the money given to congress by lawyers, mostly from the plaintiff's bar, went to the democrats. almost $22 million. more recently when president obama spoke to the med -- american medical association saying i am not advocating a cap, end quote. but the american people are demanding reform. a recent survey found that 83% of americans believe that reforming the legal system needs to be part of any health care reform plan. as the associated press recently reported, most americans want congress to deal with malpractice lawsuits driving up the cost of medical care. yet, democrats are reluctant to press forward on an issue that would upset a valuable political

>> what happened was that after 1976 after kansas city, freakin' does what he wants to do which is to go out and to communicate to the american people his view of america, conservatism, the world, communism, opportunity, freedom, all those things he believed in and it is in june of 1977 alone he gives 15 major policy speeches. he's on the tonight show with johnny carson testifying on capitol hill against the panama canal treaties. he is hither and beyond, and reagan was like a thoroughbred, the more that you ran him the better he reimputed if you pulled them off to the side and put them into the stable, then it starts to get -- >> start to get, you know, his muscles start, atrophy. so he's doing this all through 1977, 1978. the campaign aides, he's the front-runner for the nomination from 1980 but the campaign -- the only way ronald reagan is going to lose the nomination is if he defeats himself in the primaries. so, john and the people associated with john sears said him off the road for the entire [inaudible] -- and so this allows the candidates to climb into contention. by 1979, ra

as an insurance commissioner, we ran the high-risk pool in kansas.is a strategy that's been in place for almost 30 years in many states. 200,000 people total in the entire united states are in high-risk pools because they're so expensive that they really don't offer anything -- when you put all the sick people together and you say, okay, you get to buy a policy and you get no help with that policy, it is a death spiral. you will always have the highest costs and, on top of that, the highest costs and you've got the sickest people who are already paying the highest costs for treatment. they don't work very well. they are a stop gap measure that the house and senate have proposed to get people from here to a new market. i think what -- the exchanges have a lot in similarity with the health plans that have been talked about by the house and senate. there's a big difference. it's not a washington difference. it's a state difference. state insuranceç commissioners across this country have unanimously opposed health plans for decades. and they feel that i

the kansas city public library hosts the event. >> i do want to thank you get a real privilege to speak to you on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall, and it is particularly wonderful to be here in kansas city, which is such an appropriate setting because it was just a couple of blocks from this building at kemper arena, as many of you remember, that ronald reagan gave a speech at 33 years ago that in many ways i think helped catapult him to the white house. as you recall, reagan had just conceded defeat to gerald ford at the republican national convention here can maybe even some people in the room today remember that ford then summoned reagan down from the sky box to address the delegates on the floor. reagan initially said he didn't want to come down. he said it was someone else's night, but eventually the elevation brought him down to the floor. he spoke for six minutes. and tired and probably without notes. and what he said captivated the room and much of the nation that night. he conjured an imagined future at one point, and he talked about what it would

it's one that i know personally well because i worked on it in kansas. think i'm safe in saying that kansas now, like minnesota, is about to have a uniformed billing system. but it is not an easy -- everybody is fine with doing it. once it comes to the table to talk about it -- as long as you use their system. and as soon as you begin to deviate a little bit -- i am convinced that it's a huge cost-saver. and a huge, as you say, torture-saver for providers and patients. and one that we have been anticipating implementing through the health reform strategy because i think that gives leverage to then have a congressional mandate and follow-ups and make sure we can get the providers -- you need the providers and the payers at the table simultaneously to figure out the strategy of timetables that work. but it's something that i take very seriously and really leader board to working with you to implement. >> i think the provisions in the legislation -- both the bills are good. but what concerns me is that the absent the kind of leadership you're talking about,
