mr. faiz shakir, i hope to be embarrassed about not trying to bring certain things to lead. the media as far as i am concerned it is totally in the tank for this president on every level. look at health care and abc. why didn't the network bring up people like me who it is getting ready to retire? i believe that congress is exempt from the health care plan they're trying to give us, that they have about the best health care plan in the world and still be able to get it. when i have freedom of choice can i sign on to them? also, can you tell me as a baby boomer why isn't anyone bringing to light -- how many people do think will get medicare and the next seven years? i am the original baby boomer from 1946. it will be catastrophic. all of those people will go off private. host: lots to respond to. guest: thank you for the question. i have a book camino with howard dean about health care reform. the fundamental problem of the next 50 years will be the cost of health care. it is rising out of control and if you do not put into place fundamental measures to bring in those costs,
