it's supposed to serve the whole patient, both the social care and the medical care. sounds great, but is this county cutting some dangerous corners? okay. and this sounds some some big concerns here. the criminal investigation by the state. is it all teeth here? is there any. is there anything to this? oh, right. now there's a lot of teeth. this is a criminal investigation by the department of justice, medi-cal fraud and elder abuse unit. so that gives you a sense of what they might be looking into. they got a tip from the feds. i heard this from my sources that have direct knowledge of the criminal investigation. it's from their office. the tip was from the inspector general's office, and my sources tell me that tip cited are reporting from last may. so i reached out to the county. the county told me they're unaware of a criminal investigation. they're aware now. and the county is aware, obviously, of your reporting and whistleblowers within their department, or at least former employees. they are aware. yeah, they are very much aware. what's next in this? so right

what happens to the future of social security? shouldn't we care how this is paid for? it is interesting to see how the vote goes. we could have a vote on gradually raising the age. here is the rub of how difficult it is and how far behind we are. i proposed this solution 12 years ago, 13 years ago. when i did it fixed 2/3 of the shortfall if you raise the age from 67 to 70, it fixed the problem 13 years ago. if you do it now, it only gives us one more year of solvency before bankruptcy comes. we have taken a problem that was imminently fixable a decade ago and at this point, if the amendment passed, it would pay for the expansion, but we are going bankrupt because we're adding stuff to it. most people don't realize, but social security will give you money, no matter what your income is, if you have teenaged children and one of the parents is over 65. somebody thought, this will be good, we should help out elderly parents taking care of teenagers. you can be a billionaire, and i know people who are wealthy, whose kids drive porsches, who are gettin

but other people might think well, actually sorting out social care for me and my family and my lovedmight be more important. and also, as you've sort of implied, i think already, paddy, some people would argue these aren't the most accessible, easy to understand bits of political communication. this isn't get brexit done or stop the boats or make america great again. this is slightly confusing, especially since the five missions have turned into six milestones, but people within government also say these are not really easy, achievable things. well, we've made them really ambitious and we may fail. but you just mentioned three words — stop the boats, which the conservatives did not do. they they said they would and then didn't. so one of the things with political slogans and milestones and milestones, well, they can become millstones, never mind milestones. because if you do say you're going to do something, then you don't, tens of thousands to be remembered. david cameron saying he was going to bring down immigration to tens of thousands. rishi sunak's five pledges. five, not all of

she also pledged that health and social care funding would rise sharply to £21 billion. income tax rises before the next holyrood elections in 2026. our scotland editor james cook reports. the sun may have been shining on edinburgh's christmas market today, but scotland's first minister, john swinney, says the nation is in the grip of a long, dark winter beset by challenges global and domestic. so could his finance secretary, shona robison, serve up any festive cheer? this budget invests in public services, lifts children out of poverty, acts in the face of the climate emergency and supports jobs and economic growth. it is a budget filled with hope for scotland's future. miss robison announced nearly £800 million more for social security spending, extra money for hard—pressed local councils and what she called a record £2 billion boost for the nhs. and she promised to scrap the two child cap on some benefits if westminster worked with her on the details. be in no doubt, the cap will be scrapped. my challenge to labour is to work with us. join us in ending the cap in scot

about the future of social security? shouldn't we care how this is going to be paid for? it will be interesting to see the vote. i suspect i won't win, but we're going to vote on gradually raising the age. here's the rub of how difficult it is and how far behind the 8-ball we've become. i proposed this solution 12 years ago, 13 years ago. when i did, it fixed two-thirds of the shortfall. you raise the age gradually from 67 to 70, about two or three months a year, it wiped out most of the shortfall and fixed the problem 13 years ago. if you do it now, it only gives us one more year of solvency before bankruptcy comes. we've taken a problem that was imminently fixable a decade ago, and at this point if we were to do, and my amendment were to pass, it would pay for the expansion, but still the system is going 3wru79, because we keep adding -- is going bankrupt, because we keep adding to it. social security actually will give you money, no matter what your income is, if you have teenage children and one of the parents is over 65. now, somebod

push the bankruptcy of social security and say it will go bankrupt but maybe i will be here or maybe i will be alive and maybe it will still exist for people . but shouldn't we care about what's going to happen in the future of social security? should we care about how this will be paid for? it will be interesting to see how the boat was but we're going to have a vote on raising the age. but here's the rub of how difficult it is and how far behind the eight ball we've become. i propose a solution 12 years ago, 13 years ago . when i did it fixed two thirds of the shortfall. if you raise the age gradually from 67 to 70 fixed two thirds of the shortfall. if you raise the age gradually from 67 to 72 or three months a year it wiped out most of the shortfall and fixed the problem 13 years ago . if you do it now it only gives us one more year of solvency before bankruptcy comes so we've taken a problem that was eminently fixable a decade ago and at this point if we were to do and my amendment were to pass it would pay for the expansion fix instead of going bankrupt because we keep adding stuff to it but most people don't realize this but social security will give you mo

ironic what e lon musk and the ramaswamy are proposing to do for cutting veterans benefits, health care, socialy, medicare is how you run a country like a business. because businesses despite the supreme court saying they are people, are people who only care about profits. and helping veterans and old people and kids and generally, you know, helping regular people is generally not profitable. businesses do not care if you are happy or healthy or free. what they care about is if their owners, namely shareholders, their ceo and the bosses make more and more profits. businesses will raise prices or lay people off without mercy. if doing so will create more profit. it is not personal. where as government could not be more personal. so, real talk. if you are mad at united healthcare and you voted for trump, you essentially voted for america to be run like united healthcare. it is the ultimate irony. but that is america. >>> joining me now is the person i wanted to talk to about this with today. tom hartman and author of "the hidden history of the american dream" and tom, when i wrote -- when i was t

the horrific shooting of brian thompson of united health care seems like it has engendered a wave of reactions on social media that people are frustrated with the state of the health care system. how happy are you with how the affordable care act played out and what changes do you see are necessary? sen. stabenow: the affordable care act has been very important. forget that if you have a pre-existing condition now, you can't be blocked from getting health insurance. and there is affordable health insurance and so on. but i'm very concerned that there are things like prior authorization for things to be happening more and more where a doctor can prescribe what you need without going through the insurance company. there's a lot of holes that certainly need to be plugged if we talk about health care. even though more people have health insurance than at any other time in our history, there is still a lot that needs to be done. i will also tell you that when i did the affordable care act come a couple of things. one, maternity care was never covered as essential. you've got to figure out if you are going to
