given that in our state new mexico has one of the lowest or highest uninsured populations in the country. we are doing better, but we could do much, much better. given our large hispanic population which continues to be a real challenge across the country, can you talk to me a little bit about what you are doing better about outreach and transparency and communication and education? the hispanic demographic was the lowest. so what are you doing to specifically address that? >> for starters this is something to five you are correct, we identified it at the end of the open enrollment last year. so we created a workgroup. we have created advocacy groups, worked with navigators to make sure that they are trained. >> be specific. talk to me about specifically how that would translate to somebody having a better chance. >> let me start with the navigators, we have done more to ensure that we were dealing with bilingual staff not just a presence a presence but a significant presence. we have been working through , command i can get you information specific, but we have been working with advocac

the complaint is that obama care is not necessarily sweeping up people that were previously uninsured. >> we don't know. i don't think we'll know until the fall. >> there are studies indicating that the numbers are not what they were hoping for. >> it's too soon to tell. the best exit was 6 million. what we saw was before the deadline. i think we'll get to 7 million signed up versus how many we'll pay. it's not 80% putting us in the 5-7 million sign ups. that's about what the administration predicted. it's a remarkable recovery. this is a remarkable turn around. are we getting too focussed an the numbers, worrying whether it's six or 7 million sign up. it's still so early. i think the reason we care about the number it's what we observe. one of the things that i care about is the numbers of premium makers. if they are in the 5-7, 5-8 raping it means it's stable. we have newer young people in the market. if we are in the 10 to 15%, we don't have the people we need. one of the big pushes. you weren't going to get young people signed up. they were going to say wait a second, if i can't l

not all have previously been uninsured. the majority in likely had have gained insurance. national survey shows 60% of people who have -- who have access to health insurance now have used that insurance. of the 60% say they would not have been able to access that health care, see a doctor, fill a prescription. go to the hospital. would not have been able to afford it without the insurance. so making a difference. >> so, none of the big critics, fears have come true is that fair to say in terms of rising costs or that sort of thing? >> the increase in pref ymiums s year, in california. average was 4%. so, for the moment, we're in this period where -- it's still early days. >> all right. lisa ellafarris editor of the "state of health blog." >> tiffany shlain made a name for herself in high tech culture as founder of the webby awards, she has been on the scene. writer, public speaker, filmmaker, wife, mother to her resume. her latest project, the future starts here, is an aol on-line series that explores the positive and negative impact of technology on our lives. and ways to

the number of uninsured in grow,a have continued to now reaching 50 million individuals spsm the cost of health care continues to grow. today that news health care spending rose more slowly last year, but more thany still means faster the economy. we're still increasing health care to about 18% of our gross domestic product. if nothing is done by 2080 we'll onnd four in every $10 health care. but 100 after that we'll spend 100% of our economy on health care. good for the doctors in the crowd, but it's not good notthe rest of us, and it's really feasible. so in my book i rep these two two-headedhe alligator that we're trying to deal with. yet we've been unable to deal them. and the real breakthrough here, whether or not he likes it, the of our story is mitt romney. and the real breakthrough came with governor mitt romney in in 2006, when he signed into law massachusetts health care reform. approachk a new that-been try before, an approach i like to call increment al universal im. increment al, meaning leave alone if they like what people -- but help universal, meaning let's get to univ

the number of uninsured in america continue to grow. we now have 15 million individuals. and the cost of health care continues to grow. health-care spending continued more slowly last year, but more slowly still means increasing health care to about 18% of our gross domestic product. if nothing is done, by 2018, will spend four out of every $10 on health care. that may be good for the doctors in the crowd, but not really for the rest of us. and that is not feasible. we have these twin crises. in my book i represent them as a twin headed alligator up we are trying to deal with, and yet we have been mvet -- unable to decide how to deal with them. the real breakthrough came with governor mitt romney in massachusetts in 2006 when he signed into law a massachusetts health care reform, which took a new reproached -- a new approach that has not been tried before the i like to call incrementalism. meaning, leave people alone if they like what they have, but help them if the system does not work. the universalists are from the left, meaning getting to universal coverage. this was

we don't care if there are people uninsured, 50 million americans. going to be affordable, even though it's called the factor and we'll have to deny treatment -- >> i'm telling you, mr. president n the white house, we don't have cost controls, so we'll have to sell it to the american people in a certain way. that's the nut of that. >> wow. happy 2014 everyone. we're moving forward. >> there is some other big news. online death threats to police screaming rants in public all lead to go a fatal shooting. >> a man shot and killed in pen opinion after trying to run down officers with his car. >> wtfx jennifer joyce joins us live outside the upper darby police station. good morning jennifer. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. apparently this man had made several youtube videos threatening police and that's why police had a warrant out for his arrest on a terroristic threat charge. police were following his vehicle. officers from three departments respond, pulled him over and boxed him in at a bank in nearby drexel hills to serve the arrest warrant.

of your fellow citizens don't give a damn about the uninsured, you don't remember saying that?don't because they were really glib and thoughtless comments that i made. >> well, professor gruber, let like from this vantage point is that you thought they were really pithy and really funny until the video showed up. and even then, it took you a little while to apologize. what i'm struggling with is whether your apology is because you said it or because you meanv it. which are you apologizing for, because you said it or because you meant it? >> i didn't mean it. i'm apologizing -- >> all of these quotes that i just read to you you didn't mean a single one of them, not a one? >> what i said, congressman, i was using glib, thoughtless and inexcusable language. you used them a lot, professor gruber which tends to undercut the notion that you were sorry for an episodic mistake. i just read to you about ten. you see why people might possibly think the apology is a i yeel baield back, mr. chairma. >> following up on mr. gowdy, when you made these inappropriate comments, these glib inappr

they are the only people that care about the uninsured.f they really cared about these people, they really cared about them, then they would examine the effects of the policies and they would pick the policies that encourage the largest number of choice for as many americans as possible. instead, they went to nationalize health care. >> it is just a huge government entitlement program. i think everyone can figure that out. let's stay on jonathan gruber. he knew five years ago that obamacare was not affordable. the problem is, it starts to go hand in hand with the mandate. you cannot mandate insurance that is not affordable. this will be a major issue. art, you know how to do the math and economics. this is not affordable. they do not have the money even for subsidized rates. >> it is really nice being with you. mary is great. whenever the government gives away resources, it will go pro. it is just a matter of math. it is just a matter of time. this program is known to be unaffordable. without jonathan gruber, it would be so much harder to

is not necessarily sweeping up people who were previously uninsured. >> i think the answer is we don't know yet won't know until the fall. >> the numbers are not what they were hoping for. >> i think it's too soon to tell. so the best estimate from the administration was 6 million. what we saw in massachusetts was right before the deadline. a huge surge. the insurance exreans are saying it's not 80% -- the insurance companies are saying it's not 80%. considering where we were in october and november this has been a pretty remarkable turn around. >> but zack are we getting too focused on the numbers worrying whether it's six mill or million or seven million? >> exactly. the number that i care about or what the premium increases are going to be when we go into 2015. if they're 57, 5 to 8 ranges, what it means this market is stable. it's doing what it should be. if it's in the 10 to 15% then we've got room for worry. we haven't gotten the young people into the market. the concern was you weren't going to get young people to sign up. the tech-savvy, if i can't log on why should i enroll? >
