host: kristen johnson, let us talk about what -- medicare and what we can expect.guest: we have already seen an little bit of that. many senators are hearing from constituents who are really concerned about medicare, particularly medicare advantage, which is a subsidy for private plans. some medicare patients can go into a private plan and medicare helps with that. it is targeted for cuts in many of these bills. and senators, especially from states like florida, have many seniors worry about. bill nelson last week proposed an amendment where he wanted to restore some of that money. the problem is mac book -- max baucus knees to get money from somewhere. and a lot of that he says can come from cutting down on fraud and abuse but some has to come from cutting some of the programs. so far max baucus has been able to preserve the framework. they have been able to defeat some of the amendments, but it will continue to be a fight both in the senate finance panel and on the senate floor. host: "usa today" editorial argues how medicare advantage turned into a boondoggle. b

. >> kristen, your comments or question here? >> caller: yes, mike. i have a couple questions, actually, thank you for taking my call. >> yeah. >> caller: i heard reports early on when she originally went missing that a professor canceled class abruptly around the same time that she went missing, wanted to find out about that and then the law enforcement thinks that perhaps the fire alarm was set deliberately and i heard reports that there was a fire drill that day, as well. >> yeah. that time lime quickly for everybody, 10:00 a.m. when she  used her i.d. card to swipe ú herself into the ú amistad building and, yes, there is speculation that was a diversion or could have been one for whoever did this heinous, horrific crime to her. the first question, back to rupa, did a professor cancel class abankruptly and is that something authorities are looking at in this investigation, rupa? >> you know, mike, this is early on in the investigation, this was looked at and since then police have not commented about this at all. don't believe that right now tha

host: kristen with bloomberg has been covering this health care debate. she joins us this morning to help us with our conversation. host: why should our viewers watch out for blanch lincoln? >> she is one of the democrats who has been critical of the idea of a public option. her state is obviously a republican leaning state. she is worried about her re-leaks chances and also trying to represent the views of her constituents, which are a little more conservative than many of the democrats. so she's someone that is really going to be a swing vote not only in the senate finance panel but also when it comes to the senate as a whole. i mentioned earlier there are 60 votes now that senator kennedy has been replaced. still, there aren't necessarily 60 united votes on the democratic side. the progressives really want a public option. some of the conservatives just don't. >> we'll leave this recorded portion of "washington journal" to take you live to the white house and today's press briefing with press secretary gibbs. >> mr. elliott. >> thanks, robert. on the p
