is roland on to something here?any, i'm the chief medical officer for consenntra, we are a health care organization that has physicians in our clinics and we have 315 clinics in 40 different states and, you know, we are situated in a position to meet the needs. if you look at the needs out there, there's going to be a number of people that have not had insurance in the past, they're going to be looking for access, and we are a convenient, affordable access point for health care. >> now, tom, has anything changed as a result or will things change as a result of passage of this bill, or were you on sort of a growth track anyway? >> we were already on a growth track. we see the need for an accessibility, a transparent pricing that we have on our visits that patients can come in, and, you know, if you look at where people get care now, primarily the uninsured get care from emergency rooms. >> yes. >> and emergency rooms are much more expensive. >>> all right, stay with us guys. we'll come back and have a little more of

roland, give us perspective on.n boehner has issued a strong statement that all these issues, protests, that the violent threat is out of bounds. >> you also have to go beyond a sheet of paper. you have to also check your own members of congress who yell "you lie" at the state of the union address. you have to check somebody when they yell "baby killer" on the floor of the house. you have republicans saying communism is to socialism as if soviet tanks will be rolling down the streets of the united states. so they contribute to this climate, then they ratchet it up, then they play into these base fears of these folks out here who have no sense of self-control whatsoever. i would hope the people who are republicans or tea party activists who are hill to protest civilly, they would look to someone scene say we're not going to allow that behavior here with our protest. get out. a lot of them won't do it, wolf. >> let's move on. we'll have much more of congressman clyburn coming in. we'll talk about this with him. we've

. >> reporter: eleanor and roland couldn't believe their eyes looking at this 3-d television at unionstation today. >> amazing. like you are there. >> reporter: like the old days, you need a pair of glasses in order to see the image on the screen but these aren't cheap throw away. you get one free with a set, 150 afterwards. the question so many people ask, why do you need to wear the glasses in the first place. >> it gives you experience that is better than in the theater. the eye wear interacts with the images on the screen so the left eye and right eye open alternately at such a speed you get the perfect picture. >> reporter: it's available on some video games as well. the big question, how much cash will this set you back. >> the cost of 3-d-tv is modest incremental cost beyond the price of the basic hd set. >> reporter: if you get a 3-d television now, there isn't much you can watch yet but that is changing. already cable companies are jumping on the bandwagon announcing they will have 3-d tv channels available by summer. >> i don't know if i would spend the money now. >> it don'

. >> let me let roland respond. before i do. kevin -- medicare which is very popular for seniors right now, that is much closer to some sort of socialism than what the president and the democrats are now about to enact in to law because that in effect is the single payer system that the government runs. >> that's right. and medicare was designed as a safety net to those who were a specific population for older americans. i think what happens is if you try to expand medicaid and medicare, you see a growing reliance on government versus looking for the private sector and a more free market oriented approach to help drive down costs. >> roland, go ahead. >> look, wolf, one of the reasons why i might view this a little differently than kevin, because in 2000, when my appendix ruptured and spent five days in a hospital in los angeles, had no health care, almost $100,000 in bills, had to file for bankruptcy, so maybe my whole view in terms of how do you insure the uninsured is a little different. but the point there is if you're a mem

and he is with the roland school of public health at emory university. we've got a lot of question there's people all over who are wondering about health care reform, what does it mean for me. not just the small business owner that we saw right there, but other folks who are saying i have pre-existing conditions. what will this mean for me? let's tick through some of them. dean is asking, can we expect our insurance premiums to increase while we wait for the bill to take effect? >> it's a good question. we're hope that the states will continue to do a vigilant job at really regulating health insurance premiums. most states require health plans in the individual and small group market to submit premiums. there's a determination if they're fair and justified. so in the interim we're going to have to rely on the states to continue to provide that function for us. >> and of course, we've already heard a number of states through their attorney general are actually suing to see if, you know, this is constitutional, if there's a way in which the state can say,

considering all the options after all that happened, i felt roland burris being 71 years old, the firstbama election to president, i guy who was not allowed to go to african-american law schools and what do i think howard university or something, a historic figure it's only ways, and elder statesman and everybody liked him. i thought he was the right pick. than the great irony of course is in the age of obama, my fellow democrats and your senator dick durbin, harry reid are keeping him out of the u.s. senate like they were some segregationist governors in mississippi and arkansas for previous era. wouldn't let him in. wouldn't let him in. and then when they saw, when they saw that there is going to be some backlash, the party of opportunity was keeping out an african-american they let him and. and interestingly enough, that evening dick durbin who's blocking of hosted a reception for roland burris. so under the factors and considerations, i thought that was the best decision i could make. you don't like burst? that's okay.
