they stayed in the united health care prescription drug plan that will cost them $20,000 because theyre on the wrong drug plan. in maryland alone there are over 20 plans that seniors have to choose from or can choose from. that mostely i think seniors don't know how to do it or they are not able to go online or maybe they have alzheimer's and they can do it. the point is there should be one drug plan for all seniors and they should negotiate with the drug companies and the government for the lowest drug prices. to the other thing i wanted to say, i think for the medicare -- medicare is a good with thatt even people need to be aware there is no limit on your out-of-pocket expense. it's a good idea to have an advantage plan or have a medicare subsidy that helps you pay for the out-of-pocket expenses associated with that. medicare for all sounds good but somebody has to pay for it. i think our government should really take a look at what they want to do for the citizens of this great nation. thank you. host: lisa from laurel, maryland. lisa has employer insurance. caller: good morning an

regarding the other points you'vyoumade, the most importane long-run health of the united states is the technology related issue and the list you gave is correct. we cannot let that happen. this is what gives applications, entrepreneurial. they cannot steal it and issues of ownership and they insist they owned the majority and they can order the companies to put their blueprint on the table and that is a formula for stealing the technology right there. >> some high point. these are big problems that the businesses had and at the same time we are asking them not just to change the relationship international business but to change their economy this is the communist party using state on enterprise for patronage to control the economy, to control their own power. >> given this uncertainty, should ceos look at this and say we are not sure what's going to happen maybe the administration will understand this, maybe she was being genuine or maybe not should we be diversifying away from china pulling things out of sending them to other places in the world? >> i think american ceos should be rea

in a very different part of health care, ge filing paperwork for the eventual spinoff of its health care unitthe company told us it would potentially due under john flannery last june what do these moves mean for health care oversmall well, we have an expert in the field. former novartis board member and former medtronics ceo bill george novartis did their push back to glaxo that helped create this giant at glaxo that they're merging with pfizer's unit to spin off do you like the deal >> i like it a lot emma understand this is well and she's been eager to bulk up. but it had to be big enough to stand alone. they're a leader in the otc field. these products have a lot of stability, there's no patent so the brand name goes on forever so good move i would predict they're doing 68% within a couple years. they'll own 68%, pfizer will own 32%. pfizer has been looking for an exit for some time they thought they had a buyer in glaxo until they had to buy what they didn't own from novartis. p&g was there for a while and they settle on this. as you said, not a high both business, 1% to 2% top line but

i hope the issue with mental health and how we look at the mental health act is an important question that will unite people with the recognition, certainly happy to congratulate professor simon wesley on the work he has done, engaged with a wide range of large number and health organizations to shape his recommendation. i look forward to reading them and we will bring the government forward with legislation in due course. we should all get behind this to ensure we are delivering people who do this with mental health problems. >> my constituency continues to decommission the issue of high-quality replacement jobs, hugely important and crucial. therefore i welcome the decision to locate the uk's rocket launch site. i give credit where it is due. will the prime minister ensure that the maximum number of jobs will be located locally and not somewhere much further south? >> i thank him for his remarks. this is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in the new commercial space age and referenced the new space force and the ambitions we have following a positive report, moving ahead with their plan

this matters because 90% of the cocaine and heroin entering the united states transits mexico. sustaining a public healthand criminal justice crisis that costs us $200 billion. the mexican people complain justifiably about u.s. demand for drugs which sustains criminals who so terror, death and instability we must face this threat as partners because neither government can coexist with the lawless groups that attack our people with impunity. mr. chairman, i have worked against this threat for about two decades, mostly on the u.s. congress, congressional staff. i believe this crisis is worse than ever. in the supply and let the holy of drugs, the depth, breadth and wealth of the networks that deliver them, and the inability or unwillingness in certain cases of governments to attack them effectively. a few examples. since 2013 2013 the productionf heroin in mexico has tripled. the supply of fentanyl which is 35 and 50 times more potent than heroin has increased dramatically. colombian coke production, reaching record highs in filling the coffers of mexican traffickers. deadly gangs of central america which

to me the most important issues for the long run health of the united states are the technology-related issues. the list you gave is correct. i've said this many times. my own disappointment with china not moving on this and never saying anything about it. we can't let that happen. we cannot let that happen. these are our crown jewels, what give gives america inventions and entrepreneurial, they cannot steal it and issues of ownership of american companies, which is really at the heart of this because the chinese insist that they own the majority of the joint ventures, they can order our companies to literally put their blue print on the table and that's a sure formula for stealing technology, right there, that is your forced transfer. that needs to change and we need to see some changes there. so without reviewing every issue, i could give you page after page of issues, some high points, let's take a look at and see if they've made any progress. >> these are worthy objectives and big problems the businesses had and at the same time we're not asking china not to change international bus

when he got back to the united states, his health was so bad. his eyes were glazed over, he fell out of his chair several times. if you don't him, do something, you will die within a year. it never stopped him. they become humbled by the office, in a sense they become -- they will give their life to the office. we see that in the great president. david: let's widen the conversation to our members. before we take questions i want to point out this wonderful series on presidential leadership is made possible by david rubenstein. we want to thank him for that. >> this is great, thank you. my question is this, how important is empathy to a successful president? what is the relationship between sanity and quality of presidential leadership? [laughter] i will start with the empathy. theink that could be one of most important qualities that a leader has. it is interesting when you think about teddy roosevelt, he acknowledged that when he went into politics he was simply going in for an adventure, not because he thought he could make other people's live

when he got back to the united states, his health was so bad he would sit at his desk with his eyes glazed over and he fell out of his chair and he got a full workup and they said if you don't do something you'll die within a year. but, it never stopped him. not only did he become humbled by the office but in a sense they will give their life to the office and we see that in the great presidents. >> let's widen the conversation and before i take questions i want to point out this wonderful series is made possible by david rubenstein so we thank him for that. now, two questions. >> how important is empathy to a successful president and what sort of relationship between sanity and quality of leadership ? >> i'll answer the empathy and leave the sanity. [ laughter ] empathy can be one of the most important qualities a leader can have. it's interesting when you think about teddy roosevelt, he acknowledge later that when he first went into politics he was simply going in for an adventure not because he thought he could make other people's lives different but politics to come to places that peop

and the goal is to make health care affordable in the united states by lowering costs, expanding coveragend improving the quality of care. that's what they said the goal was. president obama campaigned on reforming the health care industry and celebrated when the bill was signed. >> today after almost a century of trying, today after over a year of debate, today after all the votes have been tallied. health insurance reform becomes law in the united states of america. [ applause ] >> now obamacare reduced the number of uninsured in the u.s. in 2013, the year before obamacare came into full effect, there were 42 million people without insurance. down to 29 million in 2015. from the onset, republicans packwooded the law and -- opposed the law and made several attempts to repeal it. repealing obamacare was one of candidate trump's key campaign promises. republicans just couldn't muster enough votes in congress, however, to fulfill that promise to replace the law with the american health care act of 2017. the government has taken steps, though, the tax cut bill passed in 2017 including a prov

second, health care spending adds to the cost of doing business in the united states. warren buffett has called the ballooning cost of health care a hungry tapeworm on the american economy. and third and most important, the rising cost of health care is squeezing the budget of american families. according to the gallup poll, 80% of registered voters before this midterm election rated health care as extremely or very important to their vote, a higher percentage than every other issue polled, including economy, including immigration, including taxes. i would imagine that every senator has heard stories from their constituents about struggling to stretch paychecks to afford a prescription or to cover a surprise medical bill. any one of us who has received a medical bill in the mail has wondered what am i actually paying for? here's a story i heard recently. todd is a novel father who recently took his son to an emergency room after a bicycle accident. the son was treated. todd paid 150-dollar co-pay because the emergency room was, quote, in network for his health insurance
