healthcare. spinning too much time on the stuff purview of healthcare we need to start addressing the underlying issues i make a research systems move fast and efficient just like we saw with the mrna covid-19 vaccine and getting scholars moving quickly in my research team at johns hopkins has worked with many funding agencies in this because in the most difficult has always a federal agencies, not the private. and takes the nih a year sometimes to adjudicate panic and it is so cocky and then a small incremental discoveries in the big ideas. it is no surprise there with $40 billion of spending that the nah, the top research discovery that we had of cancer a few years ago was broken increase survival by a few months with no increase in the airfreight, that's a pretty bad return investments. we need to find the big ideas. john: you beyond healthcare and now out in paperback. in the future you're right, we have to be able to adapt our research systems and demands of. viral pandemics are not the only health emergency we need to be prepared for, fires, for again, as a training all require more agile

scores and having not a reduction due to excess pressure on its healthcares, _ system. and looking at the other cities, osaka, - system. and looking at the| other cities, osaka, tokyo, adelaide wellington. europe has fared pretty badly as has canada, i understand. fared pretty badly as has canada, iunderstand. is fared pretty badly as has canada, i understand. is it because of the coverage of the pandemic sweeping across europe? that kind of story? do you think that has changed people's mind?— you think that has changed people's mind? our survey was undertaken _ people's mind? our survey was undertaken in _ people's mind? our survey was undertaken in march _ people's mind? our survey was undertaken in march 2021, i people's mind? our survey was undertaken in march 2021, we. people's mind? our survey was i undertaken in march 2021, we do this survey every six months and has been a lot of volatility between the last survey and this one and i actually expect that trend will continue. i will be shocked of the top ten is the same in six months time as it is now.

we also one of the oldest healthcare forces in the nation.and the challenges we face in maine rest of the country is facing but will increasingly face as our nation ages and this urbanization creates pockets of need not only in urban areas but especially in our remote rural areas. i'd like to address five specific strategies that i believe can go a long way to addressing the healthcare workforce crisis. at the university of new england were trying to act on each of these five strategies. i would be happy to share -- answer any questions or share any ideas about what we are trying to do. o i may hasten to add a not suggesting we have all of the answers that we figured it out. but what we have found is that the key to moving the needle forward, regardless of strategy are strategic partnerships between higher education, government, business and the nonprofit sector. soat the first thing we need to do and senator sanders you've touched on this exactly, we simply need to increase the number of healthcare professionals we train. including doctors.

incoming leadership to land the plane, so to speak but what i can say, we are converging on a vision of the healthcaretem with the patient is at the center of that system that means shifting from a vision focus on payment and providers to focusing on people. he means every medicare medicaid beneficiary is in care relationship including s meaningful accountability for quality and total care and the quality measures with what matters to patients in line with their values. it means a continuum of accountable. relationships from community by care practice or direct chart contracting entity, health center or medicare advantage land. i am heartened by the renewed interest in advanced primary care and doubling down on the role of primary care to play in high performing health system so we want to make sure all forms of the health system drive towards the same goal and where people are at the center. >> going into detail and what you said in those tariffs, it would probably take us to the hour so i'm going to get started let's look backward before we get forward every meeting i went to when cmi was created us

. >> i also like innovation plays as well but there's a real bum boom going on in healthcare in one of reasons there is money the intern at the industry. so there is so many chances to come up with something new and that could be not just in healthcare, can be in other sectors as well. i think there's a chance that we could get into a new era in 22, 23 and already there has been a much bigger increase in gdp than employment, deployment is down 8 million, but gdp is above the prior peak. we have learned how to cope with her situation more efficiently in the pandemic was a catalyst for doing that and i have a huge amount of liquidity working through the system doing technology things and i'm in the neighborhood that could use attention so i'm hoping they keep coming up with breakthroughs. maria: absolutely and me as well it's great to see you this weekend, thank you very much for joining us with your perspective on wall street. we will see you soon, a return to $100 oil by the end of the year capital president david towel wording of a crisis on the horizon and the forces behind this what

legislation does not accomplish what the american people entrusted us to do, which is to deliver on healthcarehousing, and on immigration. and so we have to be able to do that in the reconciliation bill. and i don't think that we will be able to keep the progressive caucus together in supporting one legislation while the other one is still being worked on. >> i guess i don't understand why fully if infrastructure's so important, and it is, why would democrats not want a bipartisan bill that could be passed for weeks or even months while the larger bill is being written? >> well, we seem to think that infrastructure isn't just roads and bridges, that our care system is also part of infrastructure, and we want to make sure that we are delivering on a 21st century infrastructure package. and that can only be accomplished if we do both the reconciliation and the bipartisan bill together. >> senator bernie sanders, he's the chairman of the senate budget committee. he suggested he's looking at a price tag of around $6 trillion. west virginia democrat joe manchin says 2 trillion is about where he is.

leadership in order to land the plane so to speak but what i can say is we are converging on a vision of the healthcare system where the patient is at the center of that system that means shipping from the a vision focused on enpayments and providers to a focus on people. it means every medicare and medicaid fishery is in the care relationship that includes evil accountability for polity and cost of care and quality measures align with goals that matter to patients and online with patient values. it means there's a continuing accountable care relationships from a community primary care practice to an apo or direct contracting entity, federally qualified health center or medicare advantage plan and let me add that i'm heartened by the renewed interest in advanced primary care and doubling down on the role primary care can play in a high-performing health system so we want to make sure all parts of the health system are driving towards the same goal . >> just going into detail and what you said in those few paragraphs will take us through the hour so i'm going to get startedro. every meeting i met went t

if you look at the hidden ways that we spend money on healthcare. for example, about 20 plus% of our federal spending goes to social security checks. guess where seniors are spending their social security checks? have are spending on co-pays, deductibles, coinsurance and noncovered services. the defense department, the va benefits for federal workers it is not just medicare and medicaid but it's internal at 48% of all federal spending that goes to healthcare now. what are we talking about increasing that to when we talk about fortifying our healthcare system? we got to change our ways. we got to change the payment models and we got to start talking about treating the underlying problems that bring people to care. i'm not just talking preventative medicine. i'm not just talking mammograms and what age you start that but i'm talking about food as medicine and treating patients as a person and the conversations we are having now to treat more people with diabetes with cooking classes rather than just throwing insulin at them. you can't just keep throwi

to make sure we are not spending all of our money on healthcare. don't forget to small businesses we do appreciate what has happened that there's a lot more to be done. >> that is a good segue. thank you to mr. taylor. cobra insurance was covered during the pandemic and people lost their job to no fault of their own and we secure that and know how important it was to the culinary workers union. so just a few seconds i have left we will go to a second round of course. it's fully subsidized benefits had on your members in the hospitality and tourism industry. basically what the hospitality industry employers continue to provide healthcare benefits so in the middle of a healthcare pandemic we have people losing healthcare so this has been a huge plus under the american rescue plan. it's for six months and if i was looking ahead at what congress can do they often had to requalify for healthcare. right when we were shut down right in the middle of the pandemic we had people losing healthcare. i can't think of anything more impactful that came under the

emphasize this so there is a tiny amount compared to the enormous cost of $4 trillion per year spent on healthcare the us less than 1000 goes to nih it's even worse that there is a running joke is not national institute on aging the national institute of alzheimer's disease because the bulk of the budget goes to the neuroscience division. basically researching alzheimer's. so if you get to the actual aging biology about one dollar per american goes into research why it is wage and how we can stop it. and a huge cost of aging to our psyche doesn't make sense. i want to raise the profile so to increase the research budget and what you to read the book and scientist and doctors to realize the huge importance of this the economic case is already incredibly powerful if we can reduce this number on - - enormous cost to society with that humanitarian challenge. that's why i've written the book i want people to talk about this in dinner parties and want politicians to be talking about this them to understand how important this is. that's what you're but cover looks like this is the uk cover as well. to fi

meadows to disavoi his own position on healthcare. at's the messenger on this. >> harris: we've also talking about reporting but about the emails, too. there are details in there. i'm asking a straight-up question. >> let's talk about that. first off you say there is no media paying attention and then play a compilation of media talking about it. never been a shortage of stories about it. i think the president has taken the exact tone. he will go hands off on the d.o.j. if there is owing is there let it be brought to a case. clearly the d.o.j. under the former administration was willing to take on political chores like this and single out people for investigations or take on the president's defense when it came to rape accusation and things like that. if there was something specifically there the trump administration had at least a year of this found laptop that could have, would have, should have situation. >> harris: i saw what you did there. the media were joking about it. not the same thing as saying is there anything there and inv

we have seen specific actors focused on healthcare because they recognize and this is were so razor thin necessary service to keep people alive and in the midst of this we saw some of the actors targeting these health care providers. so somebody is going to get hurt and i think we need to think about that first and foremost. we need to be responding accordingly. >> john, thank you so much, ken as well. we're going to stay on this. now let's turn to social media and the insurrection. it's hard to believe it, but yesterday marked five months since the january 6th insurrection. this morning we're learning more about the fallout. facebook announced on friday former president trump would stay suspended from their site for a total of two years. no surprise he slammed the decision in a speech on saturday. with facebook vice president nick clegg defending it the next day. >> we should not determine what side of the political aisle will side with us, but we hope that reasonable observers know that we're acting as reasonably and proportionately as we can. >> lens bring in kara swisher, host of the

we are getting so screwed on healthcare. just about everything. i can't believe, i cannot believe how brainwashed people are. >> host: you said you were fine so did you get any of these stimulus payments or did members of your family? >> caller: yeah. i get some kind of smaller stimulus i guess because i don't make, i make just about six figures. i don't have kids. i've have any of that and i don't plan on it. there are other reasons but also i can't imagine doing it financially these days. it's just like insane. i don't really care about my house other that the financial investment, maybe one day i will turn with mike in massachusetts. we welcome your calls. ardmore stimulus checks needed? 202-748-8000 the line for yes or if you say no the line is 202-748-8001. we are joined next by luke who is univision michigan professor of social justice and social policy and one of the authors of the analysis of census bureau data along with his colleague patrick cuny. professor, welcome to "washington journal" this morning. >> caller: thank you. great to be

everything that's happened during this pandemic, with the opportunities for getting people online, on healthcare ultimate mission is starting this company was empowering people with information to live a healthier, longer life, and that is going to come from genetic information either being applied to the drug discovery world, the 23 and me therapeutics is over 40 programs underway in collaboration with g sk, or potentially from applying your genetic information to helping you prevent, and so 23 and me, part of what we talked about in the spac process is specifically how can we more and more leverage the fact that our customers, 11 million customers, over 75% are already trying to take changes to the behavior, how do we do more to help them actually hit their goal of having a healthier life? so i think about the whole world that has exploded right now with online care, at home testing, how do we help people more and more get access to all that information and leverage their genetic information and apply it there. liz: well, it's brilliant and we're watching it and by the way , i'll tell you what

look at some of the numbers and they're astounding. 52% of healthcare workers receiving at least one hat there is still so much misinformation in even the healthcare community, the people that we depend upon to save our lives, especially during this pandemic. >> yeah. and just to be blunt about it, we're watching that delta variant, we're worried about the people who are unvaccinated, that includes our healthcare workers. yasmin, i promise you, if you go to an emergency room and you poll everyone that's there, whether they're vaccinated or not, the patients themselves, i can bet you, because i've asked my own patients, they all assume everyone around them is vaccinated. and that's because they enter these doors inside of our hospitals and clinics, and there's a certain kind of unspoken trust. >> all right, danny, give us the strategy here, the ramifications potentially if, in fact, they end up firing these employees for not getting vaccinated, and can employers require their employees to get vaccinated for the health and safety of others? >> the short answer is, yes. that's not me. th

healthcare workforce. my office will continue to focus on clinician wellbeing in the coming months. it's why we started the dialogue with healthcare organizations and with the national academy of medicine's action collaborative on clinician well-being and resilience, which is a network of more than 200 organizations committed to addressing clinician burnout and improving clinician wellbeing. our nation owes our healthcare workers a debt of gratitude, but also a debt of action. they've had our back during this pandemic, and now we will continue to strive to care for the people who care for all of us. thank you so much. and i'll pass it back to you, jeff. >> thank you, dr. murthy. let's open up for a few questions. >> thanks, jeff. first question, will go to tamara keith at npr. >> thank you very much. the question i have is about boosters. i know you've been asked about this many times before, but the question is whether you have planned to buy vaccines to be used as boosters or whether you already have enough purchased. and what specifically is the plan to determine if boosters will

i mean, you mention healthcare organizations being hit. one -- one imagines, at some point, lives are going to be at risk or -- or even lost. >> absolutely. so, i think, we have to, first, focus on human life. that is, obviously, what we need to protect the most. beyond that, it, also, is just as significant economic impact. a lot of these companies, especially when you look at industrial companies. they're portions of our supply chain for food, fuel, energy, water. when you disrupt those, it can have a real impact on our day to day lives and when you look at manufacturing, some of those companies are just-in-time manufacturing so very difficult to catch up for, especially if you are in the middle of a global pandemic. it's not exactly easy, and that can lead to significant impacts. >>> belarus is facing a new wave of sanctions. the european union is banning belarusian airlines from flying over the bloc's airspace or landing at its airports. this comes, after the forced landing of a ryan air flight in minsk last month which led to the arrest o

i think getting on top of sexual harassment is easier than getting on top of just healthcare which isne of the worst problems we have to contend with in our society and fixing the structures that lead so many young people to take up a life of crime, structures with poverty, unequal education, unequal healthcare, unequal job opportunities, that is much harder than the culture of sexual harassment in the workplace so we keep struggling and it is uphill but other things we have to do in our society are much harder, much harder because it is not easy to see how to do it. how do you create a just healthcare system, people of goodwill differ greatly about that but i think about sexual harassment, people of good will agree pretty much, you wouldn't get the most conservative supreme court justice and the most liberal disagreeing about that, justice scalia wrote some of the landmark opinion to the laws of sexual harassment in the workplace. you see his opinion that it could be a male who was harassed in the workplace. a real stretch in the law. we have to keep trying, have to keep doing better

down by racial or ethnic so we are working hard on the data and so those challengeson that they don't always include the information that we need the healthcare workers relies on data it doesn't have race or ethnicity and then how to analyze policies by different racial groups and with the legislation and the contributions but we are looking to do more. >> thank you mr. chair. >> as you pointed out celia must have the nonpartisan reliable record on the hill. when one way to validate is to see if they are often why they are often the feedback process is that something youhi do regularly. >> it is both on the? economic projection and fiscal projection was spending revenue we do sound with cost estimates it is harder to figure out why a cost estimate is right or wrong. >> is that shared externally as well as internally quick. >> yes. we do to end all reports one on the economic side one on the fiscal side and then engage with outsiders with two panels and then every report we ask the experts and engageav with them afterwards. >> i have questions for the whole panel. no surprise cybersecurity how do you rate cybersecurity and cbo today and that c

itjust gives you a sense of the pressure and toll that covid is taking on this city. healthcare world's poorest nations. ventilators remain in short supply. last week, the uk sent more than 200. in an interview with the bbc, the prime minister said its vaccines he desperately needs. he said the sacrifices of nepal's serialjurors meant it was the uk's duty to send them —— soldiers. we have a very old friendly and diplomatic ties, when the gurkhas served the uk for so many years, putting their lives at risk so many times, so it is the responsibility of the uk also to support nepal. the virus is now climbing in rural areas now the peak has passed in cities. nepal's leader has been blamed by many for looking down his mountain nation too late. and for keeping its borders with india open, allowing the delta variant first detected there to spread as migrant workers return home. at this buddhist service in the capital, prayers for a veteran who died alone. this is a nation in mourning. at a time when many are turning to old friends, nepal is appealing to the uk for a helping hand. rajin

so both on the healthcare physical and mental we've had a lot of discussion with athletes one of thethings we talked about is the second opinion from the university and some n has said that's not even in enough distance you trust the individual not to go back or the implications of the university so can this be somebody at the university? >> personally outside of the university because then you have a coach and then you have the add and you still have the chancellor of the school so from these issues that we talk aboutoa if the coach agreed bringing it up to the add are still limitations from the top down protecting the image. so i do think of a the institution as a whole would have to be outside. >> anybody else on that point? but the key point is to make sure athletes or that they are accessible to athletes the model was that they can refer you to an outside individual that you had to ask. sometimes i think having someone there and presentnt within your community is easier for accessibility that be accountable to someone else not the athletic director. maybe that's the route to go

so is this the final word on the affordable healthcare act? well, it's still us politics and sports brand, so for now, of course you're right. it looks like it's, it's, it's done at least for this attempt, but the g o. p will certainly certainly circle back and, and try it again. however, with every verdict that the hurdle will be a bit higher, so what they will have, they will find they will have to find new legal reasoning to come up with a new case and bring this to the supreme court will certainly not get easier. also more the, the law itself, obamacare is getting more and more popular. 31 millions half obama care are insured under this law already. and that will be more and more resistance coming from borders as well. right. oliver sell it with the leaders to 90 washington oliver, as always, thank you. showing as crackdown on descent in hong kong has intensified. $500.00 police officers rated the news room of the pro democracy newspaper apple daily this morning and arrested 5 executives, including the papers taught to editors. authorities

healthcare. does this seem like maybe it is finally a punctuation mark on this particular debate. obviously, healthcare obviously at the center of so many things. but this law frankly, has become pretty popular. the opinion has shifted on it has people have gotten used to having this. top us talk us through what this means. also what it means for doctors, nurses, hospitals, the system that has come to be getting used to the way things are done now. >> you are 100% right as the system has gotten used to working under the affordable care act and has instructed everything the that it is through the lens of the affordable care act. had the supreme court overruled it it would've turned the whole healthcare system aside them. 21 million people not have coverage because of this. i think going forward, there are probably three or four big issues in front of the country to make this a reality. one is 17 million americans are eligible for either medicaid or the exchanges that are not enrolled. getting them enrolled would take the impact to 38 million people. and really the total number of pe

based on the fact we have population greater than 18 including healthcare workers and people with factors such as -- and the rest. this was the target. so far so good. this has been as i said a bit successful despite the fact that a lot of disinformation in rumor. one of the regions in the country where it is humanitarian city, that is we have this crisis that has been going on, this is a political crisis for the past four years. it has not been easy. i think from the record we had last week from the southwest region is the least region that has vaccinated for the whole country with four regions out of the 18 health districts -- [inaudible] against covid-19. all this due to the insecurity because a lot of insecurity. these are areas that people -- [inaudible] flee to other parts of the region. so far just 92,000 people have been vaccinated. 85,000 -- [inaudible] that has been targeted for the covid-19 vaccination. as to what are the greatest needs. we see already from the time that vaccine was introduced in the country,.
