mollie explains why. >> reporter: in 2003 they put together some estimates of traffic deaths and crashes the previous year due to cell phone use. 955 fatalities they estimate and 240,000 accidents. the researchers wanted to make the estimates public. they wanted to let the states know that hands free devices may not solve the problem. that letter never went out and critics say the government just didn't want to take on the emerging issue of distracted driving. >> the tragedy is that people's lives were lost because the government didn't release research. >> reporter: the former head of the national highway traffic safety administration says the idea that research was suppressed is, quote, nonsense. he says the data was a list of studies already available, not the result of a new government investigation. and he wanted to wait for, quote, tighter data. >>> did you see it? the wisconsin highway sign full of misspellings but one word on the sign in rothschild, wisconsin is smelled incorrectly. all but one are wrong apparently apparently. rothschild business is spelled wrong. exit it the onl

in washington, molly hennenberg, fox news. bret: senior political analyst brit hume is here with some thoughts on how a reformed bill might still make it through congress. good evening, brit. >> hi, bret. for all the trouble house democratic leaders are having to pass the major healthcare reform, the possibility they can pull it off cannot be ruled out, even at this late stage. the 52 so-called blue dog moderate democrats hold the balance of power on the issue, but speaker pelosi seems it only pick 15 up to ram the bill through. that explains why house leaders are watching the senate owe carefully in the hope that the finance committee will reach a compromise, which would have at least a chance of passing the senate. that would help convince the blue dog democrats that they aren't being asked to cast a tough vote on a bill that is going nowhere in the senate, as you have just heard, happened on the controversial cap and trade energy bill. members are being asked to overhaul drastically a sixth of the u.s. economy, a healthcare

molly henneberg is at the white house right now. molly, one of the big questions is and there weren't answers. how is this thing going to get paid for. >> good morning steve, brian, and alisyn. the president says he is waiting on a plan from congress. he says two thirds much the health care reform bill will be paid for by cutting wasteful spending, cutting fraud. the other one third higher taxes, the president said. listen to what he said last night. >> the house suggested a surcharge on wealthy americans and my understanding, although i haven't seen the final versions is that there has been talk about making that basically only apply to families whose joint income is a million dollars. to me that meets my principle that it's not being shouldered by families who are already having a tough time. >> another principle the president says regarding this health care plan is that it cannot raise the deficit. when he said that he said, quote, i mean it steve. brian: molly, i'm sorry, did you want to talk to steve? steve: molly lurks take a
