i myself do not think that's the best system. it's very hard to provide a single payer system for 300 million americans. there's never been one organizational structure that's provided any service to 300 million people anywhere in the world. there are other difficulties in my opinion. i'll mention two of them. one of the problems most single payer proposals is they lock in the fee for service delivery system where they pay doctors to do more and more. that is not a very good system for improving the quality of care, for creating more organized and coordinated care. and second, as we've seen with medicare, it's very difficult to have effective cost control under these systems because of political pressure. the last set of proposals doesn't have a very elegant na name. i've begun calling it social insurance that is unrelated or delinked from the employment system. it's actually the proposal i want to elaborate for you. the proposal that victor fuchs, who is a professor of health economics at stanford and i like to refer to him as on

when you look at the best students and the best faculty, they come to universities that support them with the right technology. >> guest: you brought up international students. this is an older study, a couple years old. i remember reading that 60% of each student in the computer sciences were international students. is there a need because i'm sure we will touch on this, the it work force is declining. we need people graduating with science and technology. is there any fear offering opportunities for those students to stay, whether it be job opportunities or even citizenship. to supplement our work force? >> that is a controversial opinion on that. one of my opinions, i am joined by bill gates because he said the same thing. i think that when someone, a foreign student gets a degree in science or technology or engineering from the american higher education institution, when they come across the platform and i hand them at the doctoral level a degree, there should be someone farther on down who has green card applications and a stapler, staples' the green card application to their di

i don't usually think reverse mortgages are the best way to go. usually should be a last resort. but if you're completely out of money and plan to stay in your home for the rest of your life and don't intend to leave any money to your heirs, something you need to consider. you need a certified financial planner to help you, a mortgage advisor or a housing counselor, and you can get those through the national association of personal financial advisors or the financial planning association, as well as hud, get a counselor who can vice you whether or not this is the best plan for you. but again, usually a last resort, and you have to make sure you fall into those criteria. >> carmen, sharon, thanks a lot. stand by. we have more questions and answers right after these messages. >>> we're back with more of today's money 911, answering all your financial quandaries, we have personal finance corresponds at cnbc. let's go across the street, and nationally has another question from the crowd. >> that's right, i have an impressive young lady, 16-year-old lexi who is already thinking about h

we asked dick morris, the author of the big bestseller "catastrophe" to pinpoint the best and the worst. let's begin with the best. >> i think probably the best was the no child left behind legislation, because it totally changed the whole construct an education in this country from a few can spend more money game to applying standards -- from who can spend more money. bill: this was an alliance with president bush. >> yes, and as a liberal democrat, kennedy could have opposed that and could possibly have killed it. he got it passed. he stood tall on it. by the way, about the only thing i agree with obama about is his merit pay for teachers and defining the teachers' union on this issue. -- defying the teachers' union on this issue. there was a terribly important piece of legislation that i worked on, and it basically provided that when you switch jobs, you do not lose your health insurance. your new employer cannot say, "oh, that is a pre-existing condition. we are not going to cover you pure " -- cover your." -- you." and they let it be done, even though they let it hang out there to

if you invest in the best, buy the best and stretch for the best. it's usually the car that will appreciate the most. >> gooding said many of the cars on the auction did sell for less than their catalog estimates. in this economy the firm is exceptionally pleased with the bids of this auction. that begs the question, normally when you buy a new car, the minute you drive it out of the show room, it depreciates. what about the cars in terms of investment overtime. what percentage return would you expect on an annual basis. >> it all depends on what kind of car you are investing and what condition it's in and what money you are willing to put into it. jay leno featured his comments and he brought up the best point. you have to buy what is hot. do your research and don't buy what your gut says. do research and check out the car clubs and figure out where the momentum is going. this is a momentum-oriented market. we are seeing classic car prices increase as investors look for tangible alternatives for the investment dollar away from what's happening on wa
