they live, the ex-wife and the daughter live down in sarasota, just south of tampa, st. pete.ad nothing -- his claims on his -- i'm not sure if his facebook or myspace -- had nothing to it. but then of course he made up all of these friends that he supposedly had. and we know that wasn't the case either. so here's a man who's living in his own little world. so a claim that he got money from bud billings to set up his kung fu studio, i don't know. take it with a grain of salt. maybe a whole shaker. >> mike brooks, let's get mike in on this, then we'll tack a quick break. mike, what do you make of that? as you'd mentioned and rob mentioned as well, financing the martial arts studio. >> right. >> you've got car issues possibly here. is somewhere in that, is that the missing piece we're looking for? >> you know, mike-f he got his car repossessed and he can't make his car payment, how is he going to repay any possible loan from the billings on his martial arts studio? you know, did he go in here hoping to find the paperwork for the loan that he might have gotten, killed both of the

then in march of 2008, the plant where she had worked for more than 20 years in sarasota, florida, shut down and she lost her job. and with it, her employer-paid health insurance. >> i was upset butted i i thought i'd be all right. >> reporter: but two months later, an even bigger bombshell. >> i found out i had breast cancer. >> reporter: the federal stimulus bill helps her pay for cobra, which allows her to keep her employer's insurance but only for a limited amount of time and that doesn't pay for everything. >> reporter: she is $20,000 in debt because of her medical expenses. one doctor has refused to see her until she pays her bills. when people don't have health insurance, they often end up here in the emergency room and that costs all of us. it's one of the major reasons why insurance premiums have sky rocketed. in many respects we all have paying for the uninsured. those who don't have health insurance are actually impacting those who do. >> reporter: despite efforts from the president, congress and others -- >> i think there's no question that it is likely to get worse before i

sarasota. good morning, florida. cj on the line. caller: a long time lisser. i wanted to make a comment on secretary clinton and her trip. the comment about the whole administration. i think for the first time in a long time, we listened to a secretary of state being able to talk about the lot of different things that are happening all around the world. the involvement that we have in all of these things. in the past eight years, almost all of the conversation from the secretary of state, or any politician, has been about justification for our iraq policy. nothing about the rest of the world. i think most of her discussion really covers just about everything that is going on. i think the diversity of the policy discussion was really, really refreshing. and i think one of the things that this administration is that all the nest and the fact that all of our leaders are talking to less, not in sound bites, but actually having discussion -- talking to us. guest: a fair enough observation. there is an argument to be made the bush administration was very preoccupied
