robert carroll. we talked about the john f. kennedy nation, lyndon johnson, and what politicians today could learn from lbj. >>> first, here's my take -- we're still in august, but it feels like we're entering the election season for real as the conventions have gotten started and everyone is perking up and paying attention. we're following the story day by day, blow by blow. we journalists can get wrapped up in the minutia of the moment and lose sight of broader trends sometimes. so what are the bigger forces that will determine this election? well, the conventional wisdom is that elections are decided by the state of the economy. and there's a lot of truth to this. but it's not as simple as you might think. first, what do we mean by the economy? gdp growth rates, rise in disposable income, job growth? each of these would yield a different prediction. but it's fair to say that if you look largely at economic data, the picture formed is not great for president obama. nate silver of "the new york times" who does invaluable work crunching the numbers shows, ho

robert johnson.eally james brown, you know, people like curtis mayfield. >> brown: now greg allman has told of the musical voyage and the life of triumph and a great deal of travail in his new memoir "my cross to bear." allman was born in nashville in 1947, a year and 1 days after his brother duane. when he was just two, his father who fought at normandy was shot dead by a hitchhiker while on home leave from korea. as youngsters the boys were sent to military school while their mother finished her degree. they all eventually moved to florida. it was one night in 1960, allman says, that changed everything. >> you went to a concert and heard otis reading and others play. what did you hear? what changed? what happened? >> it was one of those reviews that they don't have anymore. otis took it, by the way. i mean, he would run back and forth across just a quarter-mile long stage. he was about 7'2 ." i mean, built, god! my brother, i remember him going, you know, like, hey, man, his jaw was open. he said,

thank you very much to brian quinn and robert wood johnson foundation technology and information. you will hear from robert wood johnson foundation technology and information in the moment. the other is that by policy partisan center. two senate majority leaders from each party, former senate majority leaders, is the only dc think tank that promotes bipartisanship and has health care is one of its main focus areas. we are very pleased to have monitoring this discussion, janet marchibroda, who cochairs the technology initiative. i would like to turn to her at this point. >> thank you. it is a great pleasure to be here today and to be talking about something that is very important to us. the health i.t. initiatives at the bipartisan policy center. as a threat to mention, we were established in 2007 by senate majority leaders and focus on a broad range of issues. one being health care. we are particularly interested in the discussion today because we are talking about how one could more effectively engage consumers and patients and their health and health care, using electronic tools.

finally, jane love, team director of the vulnerable populations portfolio at the robert woods johnson foundation. she will discuss the foundation's effort to provide information to mayors in cities across the country about cease-fire and assist them in implementing this model. i will ask our panelist to be brief and that always happens at the u.s. conference of mayors and any paddle that i have been on a i have always ignored that request and we expect the same to be true this morning. we certainly do want to leave the bed of them time for q&a at the end. therefore, mayor slutkin you're up. >> speak and everybody here may? good morning. how is everyone? thank you mayor nutter and everybody for coming. i'm going to talk today about the cease-fire health model, public health model. the theory behind it and how it works and the results and also kind of the way ahead. the way that i would like to start is by thinking about this problem in the context of other problems in the history of -- obstructed our process and this is a painting. the reason i bring it up which of course we now know i

robert wood johnson for organizing the session. and for all the speakers. i would like to change the direction of the discussion a little bit. my perception of what we talk about is who gets to hold the drill to fill all that we could have prevented. this is so unfortunate. we know and this has been stated by at least three of the speakers, how to prevent tooth decay, and that is the disease we're talking about. we can prevent tooth decay. we are focusing on who is going to hold the drills. why aren't we sharing more information about general public, especially low income, people willow out illiteracy, they do not know this disease can be prevented. we have data in maryland that demonstrates that low income, though it educated, do not know what fluorite is, never heard of something that has been used for 75 years, sealants. it seems to me where we should put focus is on trying to educate both health-care providers, because they did not know the correct information either, as well as the general public. which brings to mind a question for dr. helb, on your s

i want to thank our colleagues at the robert wood johnson foundation, particularly dr. krol, for allowing to get us into a topic that we did not go into enough. i want to thank you for showing up on a beautiful august day and sticking with this discussion, and i want to ask you to join with me in thanking our panel for a basic discussion of a very complicated topic. [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2012] >> if you want to come to america illegally, do not go through the desert. fly here and overstay your visa. the total number of undocumented has gone down. we saw the problem by having our economy greater. people come here to work. if there are no jobs, they do not come here. america is not a very good place to sit around and think the state will support you. someone has to create the business that your son will work for. the numbers show that -- it cannot be easy to come to the other side of the world, give up your friends and family, and everything you know, and start from scratch. that is what

you know, i spent twelve years at robert johnson foundation to bring health care into the mainstream of the health care system. it started when a major study came out that was published showing how poorly we care for people at the end of life. and so we launch a major initiative and we started to help hospitals and physicians and nurses establish care programs in their hospitals. which is a good thing. people can get the care they want. so the early form of shared decision making. while it has taken off and we have a specialty -- [inaudible] the question remains how come ended end of life care cost keep going on? what's there to stop it. on the other side of the equation or families are deeply troubled about what they see their loved ones going through. it's a manifestation we don't know what to to stop. we don't have a mechanism to stop it. that will rely on physicians, future generations, i would love to hear your thoughts on what to do to make sure people get the care they need to benefit them. we have public expectations. we have an overuse problem. if you turn on grays admatty.
