and for most of us, that's way unaffordable. so i would like to say that we really need, as humans, to be protecting people at the bottom, not people who can afford a half million dollar home. also i would like to say that with limited housing, i don't really understand the logic of how we are going to protect renters and owner occupied. i would say protection for tenants currently living in a building that's quertsdz, that's temporary. housing is very temporary. people move a lot. that doesn't really solve the issue of long-term. also i would like to say i'm a council for the tenants union by the way and i have seen many tenants being harassed and evicted, whether there's potential of owner occupancy it will happen and we will lose tenants who provided services that we moved here for. also, i understand what i heard was that the suggestion was the rent board was going to adjudicate these lifetime leases. the rent board is swamped. i heard from a tenant who said it took six months to get a actual -- something from the judge. by

affordable care act was based on is there a cost-control problem that health insurance becomes unaffordablecosts down. >> stephanie: officials have sounded warnings that mostly those who are young may see considerably higher prices than expected, that's because the new requirements in the law, makes health insurance more affordable for older sicker insurers. what do you think about that whole -- that's been the whole tricky thing we have talked about, right? >> right. when you are younger and healthy, you don't think you need health insurance, and it's hard to convince someone who is young and healthy that accidents could happen at anytime. there's no real way to ever know, so you have to have some form of health insurance. the issue that's at steak in this article is that the law says you didn't charge younger people more than older people. >> stephanie: as the rates come down for older people, they could increase for the younger people. and so the younger people could opt to pay the penalty. >> and it will be leave a bunch of uninsured young people and the tax payer will have to pick up t

the second was the cost, i feel like it's just unaffordable. so how can we -- one, this information is helpful for helping people know where they're going to get a return on investment, so that can be a little less daunting if you know, hey, i can major in this can and get a great job in the s.t.e.m. field, but what are some other innovative ways that we can help lower this cost burden? earlier the survey asked if it's institutional responsibility, the majority of the people here, clearly the federal government plays a big role in subsidizing higher education with $170 billion a year, tax credit, grants, subsidies for loans. and then the students themselves, you know, obviously pay the brunt of that cost when those other two things don't make it up. so what can we do to innovate in this area of cost for higher or education? >> before we jump into that -- >> sure. >> -- it's important to add that there are a couple of ways, and technology is driving this, that this could go, and some of them -- the most aggressive cost cutting would be to say le

we believe the expansion of medicaid would be unaffordable. we think medicaid needs to be reformed. we think it is unworkable. i think the test will still come in january to see if the government is ready to implement the federal exchange itself and be able to afford that. there are still some legal challenges with the state of oklahoma on the affordable health care act and the taxability on the states. there are these different scenarios that can play out. we respect the opinions and each state has to do what is in their best interest. >> for a lot of us, this is not a partisan issue at all. this is not a democrat or republican. it is a matter of the math. for us to have the opportunity to expand the population to have the government pick up 100% of the cost meant a lot of people who otherwise may not have access to good care will now have that access. in addition, we are getting a higher reimbursement for a portion of the population. some of the important developments are taking place in the state and not necessarily in washington. we have a session later today where we will be le

we now have a health care law that is unaffordable. it's unworkable. and very unpopular.to the deficit. so i think the american people see right through this president on this. >> defenders this morning will say, this is not a $1 trillion stimulus package like it was in years past. these are smaller initiatives that could be paid for if tax revenues go up, if growth goes up. is that a reasonable defense? >> it's a very big laundry list that's going to be very expensive, which is why we always want the president to submit a budget. now, he's been late on his homework assignment for that. we want to see that. the senate hasn't passed a budget since before the ipad was invented. we need to pass a budget, we need to see what the president is proposing because there's real costs to so many of these things. >> the market is always hungry to trade off anything in the speech. hard to do sometimes. definitely hard this year. no mention of keystone pipelines, no mention of liquefied gas, exports. what did you make of his energy policy and how much can he potentially do with some of

that will not so far outpace the rest of the economy that it continues to be an affordable -- and unaffordable system. and the final piece is that we work in partnership with the provider organizations to help them be successful in this model. because we have the data and the holistic view on their patient population that they don't necessarily have. and many of them, most of them functioning under this volume-based set of incentives that really now is 180° different. and so working together, best practices sharing forums and so forth, we actually are making enormous strides, and we have in massachusetts a system that is looking very different. maggie, you asked where can i go for care that looks like that. you'd be hard-pressed actually in our state now to go somewhere that isn't focused on care that looks and feels patients like a concierge care, because practices are very concerned about avoiding those unnecessary uses of the emergency department that we heard about this morning, and those unnecessary admissions and readmissions and the things that really at enormous expense. so i'm optimis

the president's health care law continues this day to be unworkable, unpopular, and absolutely unaffordable. now, we saw another example of this recently when one group who has previously supported the law learned more about what's in it. back when we were debating the bill originally, labor unions around the country were among the biggest backers of the law. unions sent their lobbyists up here to press their democrat supporters to pass the law. they put out many statements saying things like, we need this health care law now. they held rallies right out in front of the capitol. we saw the same kinds of demonstrations last spring when the supreme court was considering a challenge to the law. now, i went to the oral arguments and i remember one group of union members chanting "we love obamacare." well, apparently now today, mr. president, i will tell you the love is gone. according to a recent front-page article in "the wall street journal," some union leaders now say that -- quote -- "many of the law's requirements will drive up the cost for their health care plans, and they say it will mak
