the biggest surprise of what they found in 2-year-old rowland, chemicals found in nearly anyone else in the world 6 times higher than in parents, twice the levels that researchers see in land animals. this is a serious warning said a scientist researchers on flame retar tkapbts. young children are exposed because they put their hands in their mouth and bodies don't eliminate chemicals as readily. to me i think very historically crystallizes what we are learning. that was a story in 2006 by the environmental working group where they analyzed the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies and found an average of 200 chemicals found to be toxic in every single baby, man made synthetic chemicals. when we see this picture that babies are being born into the world polluted with industrial chemicals it is time to say how can we do things differently? how can we do things differently? that is the question that essentially we took to the world's largest beauty companies starting in 2003 letters, phone calls. who thinks the companies were wanting to have this conversation? unfortunately they weren

ted rowlands is at the scene where protests surrounding the nato summit is happening now. how big was this protest? what are you seeing? >> reporter: well, it was very big today, and this happened after those three arrests and after the court appearance this morning. they called in an impromptu protest using twitter and other social media. they got a pretty big crowd, about 300, 400 people walked the streets of chicago with no real plan, going from one street to another, trying to get towards mccormick place, but they ran into several roadblocks. those roadblocks, of course, were police. they were mounted police at one point, and then there were biked police where they actually had a standoff for a considerable amount of time on michigan. eventually the police let them go through, and their tactic thus far all week has been basically to tire them out, to let them parade around the city, open the streets for them, block traffic. at this point, we've only seen a few arrests on this past protest. we did see one individual who did not obey police orders and broke through a bar

ted rowlands, thanks. i want to bring in the illinois lieutenant governor sheila simon joining us now. nice to see you. thank you for being with us. how comfortable are you with sort of the visuals that you are seeing? how often are you talking to the chief of police and how do you feel about the strategy in dealing with both sets of protesters that we were talking about, the more peaceful protesters and some of those folks you're seeing on tv with more violent protests? >> i'm obviously saddened that there's violence involved that police have been injured, that protesters have been injured, but what i'm pleased with is that for the most part thousands of people have been able to express themselves, have been able to state their opinions about war, about nato, and chicago has shown a capability to respond to be a global city and i'm pleased with that. >> garry mccarthy is the superintendent of police and he was asked about that use of batons. we've seen that in a couple shots and here is what he said. >> h

diane rowland, in our capacity, both at kaiser family foundation and mack pack, you've been thinking about high-cost patients and challenges to delivering coordinated care, improving health outcomes and lowering the costs. so tell us about that thinking. >> thank you, susan. i think i can just do it with this. this arrow? >> well, i always come to these forums and we talk a lot about the medicare program and sometimes we talk about private insurance and we don't always when we talk about health care costs bring the medicaid program into perspective. i just wanted to remind us about why medicaid takes care of lot of people with chronic illness and why it spends a lot of its resources on that population. and of course, this is our most classic slide, showing that one in four beneficiaries on the medicaid program are disabled and elderly but account for two-thirds of the spending. and a large reason for that, of course, is that there is a lot of long-term care expenditure on behalf of the populations. but let's focus for just one minute on that under 65 disability population for medicai

we heard from diane rowland about the very important fact that the high spenders in the medicare program are different from the high spenders in the medicaid program. which is a recipe for us developing a much more nuanced understanding about how to restrain excess costs in those two pockets of the population. we heard from bruce chernof, again, much on that same theme that half of the medicare enrollees with chronic conditions also have functional limitations, and half of them are dual eligibles but half are not. and we have to be very mindful, he said, of the problem that we're trying to solve. the problem as many patients see it, is that they lack all of those words that he put up in his wonderful word cloud. they're not spending a lot of time thinking about how to get access to surgical robots, they're spending more time thinking about how to have a independent, dignified existence, independent of as many health care providers as possible, very often. then we heard from susan reinhard that patients and care givers sense that a lot of the issues that they face in health care is due to

rowland martin is a political analyst. we talk about the anger in the middle class, because of numbers like these. the congressional budget office found income for the top 1% jumped 275% between 1979 and 2007. the middle class saw income grow by just 40% during that same time. when the president chooses to bring his jobs argument back to bain, republicans claim what he really wants you to hear is that these numbers show guys like romney have rigged the game against the middle class. >> and of course he wants to have that conversation, because what will also does not want to admit is when you talk about a lot of these private equity companies, there's a difference between folks who actually want to buy a company, build it up, invest it, grow it, as opposed to go in, pile on lots of debt -- >> wait a minute, i want to go, roland, hold on. let's go back to the steel mill, the president's ad about the steel mill. steel, it wasn't really that much of a bet that steel was going to go out of business. steel and paper are the two

. >> rowland martin, president obama has 19 straight months of job gains he can run on.ng about bain? >> because he understands that in this climate, when you talk about wall street, when you talk about executives in term of hedge funds and private equity companies, how it resonates with the american people. but here's something that i think that you mention, ali. you said, should we measure governor romney based upon bain? here's the real deal. we are not electing somebody to be the head of a private equity company. we are looking to him to potentially be the president of the united states. so if you actually want to measure apples to apples, oranges to oranges, you measure, how did he perform as governor of massachusetts? that's the real key? because on one hand, republicans are critical of president obama for the government investment in solyndra. you could call that private equity if you want to, investing in a company, but the real deal is when you're the president, you're not running it like a private equity company. so i would say his role there plays a role, the
