let's talk health care. united health groups dazzled the dow. why? because these health maintenance companies have to -- well, to look -- i think they stopped competing on price. it's like they carved up the whole country. johnson & johnson posted terrific numbers. patent protection made that possible. no competition. but do you know who has the least competitive marketplace versus the old days? wow, is this a change. and it happened because some companies took advantage of the great recession. i'm talking about the banks. outfits like jpmorgan and wells fargo are tallying incredible earnings because the competition in banking has diminished so radically. no bank has more than 10% market share but because of the financial crisis that was thrown out of the window. the wells fargo and jpmorgans, they bought a lot of banks and wells fargo has 30% of the mortgage market. i mean, that's phenomenal. no more cutthroat competition. banking is no longer a dog eat dog world. and you want to know who's simply not competing on price at all? the mortgage insurers

health systems. they did. end say left immediately. the united states health care system is not one that is seen as a model by any country anywhere in the world. it has an academic history. during world war two companies are allowed to the increase salaries for workers. in order to create enticements to keep workers. and this is something the works its way into the american health care system. how we now, 40, 50 years. i don't think that there is anybody who would say that this is the perfect system, but it is one that has been built upon and built upon and built upon. >> politically it is pre intolerable. the congress, the democrats said that they wanted universal health care coverage. this is the political possibility that may happen. it is complex. very expensive. one of the things that we should mention is that to it is designed to control some of these costs. reduce the on affordability of this year expense of these procedures and the number of procedures. interested. the problem is to then go into different parts of the health care center. where should the co

health care in the uk is not working. this should be a template for the united states to look at.people in ambulances waiting up to eight hours to get into the hospital because the doctors aren't available. they are quitting or never go to medical school because of government control. hospitals with inordinate number of people die because of lack of care or malfeasance by nurses could committing euthanasia. >> i'm always suspicious any time i see a president and -- presidents in both parties doing this, rick, they trot out a bunch of people to stand behind them in the east room at that time press conferences. the president did this week when he talked about the been pits that would accrue to american people if we only get this obama care under way. >> yeah. i bet threw were no union members in that picture. here is the thing. you know, if i was in a union i would be furious that just in this last election, millions of dollars were spent to elect local, congressional, senate candidates. even the president of the united states. over the fact that health care reform was coming all to

much affect when sit in position because companies that employ over 50 people in the united states provide health carerge pro portion do it. so it's really the reporting and red tape that was built into the system to record it and make sure they were doing it. because of the problem. >> wait, wait. >> be honest. >> there is a point here. this -- . >> this passed years ago. it seems to me they have been mindful of the political calendar, joe, from day one. key part didn't take affect. now, this is on hold until after the mid term. is that an accident? >> i think what is good about it is it gives rinz a reason to go one more time to try to repeal obama care. let's do it 38 times. >> you can't repeal the law. you can feel affects of it. >> they're -- . >> they're going into, exchanges going in. >> employers. >> jordan i think you raised an important point. the reason it was there so those companies that do provide health care couldn't just dump employees off of it. i'm interested in how administration is going to answer that question that. was and would be the only problem. >> it. >> wait a minute. wait

care of. >> that's right. and i think people ought to know that even the most vocal proponents in the united states of the single payer health care for themselves and faced with the need for health care god do everything they can to manipulate the system and access their own right which is choice. they want choice to pursue health care options for themselves. adeline of this? i have been one of the doctors sought out frequently by several people. a proponent of single payer health care. i feel good about reviewing this because it was in the public record. i read the mri scans of him when he had his brain tumor. it is not that he was my patient. he sought out and all of this power doctors in the country. and i think you make a broader point here that i would like to emphasize which is that when you look at these other countries the single payer system, they not only individually seek about ways around the barriers, they have even put into law that these countries will pay for medical care either in private care centers are outside their own country. while we in the u.s. somehow have been moving toward a more nationalize syste

health care system and more. take a look. >> what do you think the future of health care in the united states is, and what is the best way tois? >> i think the most -- one important aspect of a good health care system is to encourage healthy behavior. and prevention. that's what we're doing out here, isn't it? preventing disease by staying fit. if people make better choices, the demand for health care will decline. secondly, i think it's really important for people to recognize we have the best, the most modern technologically advanced health care system in the world, and -- and, you know, it will eventually figure out the most efficient way to pay for it. >> i think you're a role model for health. something i'm missing. how do i get people off the couch, up and exercising like this? >> i wasn't a role model for a while. drank too much, smoked cigarettes, sat around. people have to make up their own mind. you can't pass a law telling people to get off the couch. once people start exercising will realize the physical and mental benefits. it's an addictive habit, because you really do feel better, and, you know, i don't know.

health care to try to come up on strategies on a continuing basis. there is not a one time fix on health care. as lisa mentioned earlier there is these units that open collective bargaining agreements for pricing in those contracts because we all now realize there are unintended consequences that can result to what we agree on in terms of health care. there is an intelligent strategy that we have to take. in the middle of these group discussions that we've been having at city hall in comes this story about kaiser and the rate increase and with hhf as leadership and all the unions in that committee have joined forces and stepped forward and went before the hhf and went to them and asked them to reject the increase. hhf has done a turn around and for all the reasons that they have cited this morning that you accept it instead of reject it. when most of us are in the rejection mode that having felt the more information we receive, more felt more strongly that this was a give away and something that really shouldn't be accepted by either hhf or board of supervisors. i was happy when the kaiser representative were called to the podium. unfortun

with the changing health care environment where we try to focus more with individuals that live in the united states with primary care based health system which is the future of health care for those that fall under the in acreage status? the general understanding is these individuals use the emergency room system which is what we're trying to move away from so what is the future? and second what is the health issue that is most relevant with the population in general? >> i will start with the question the demography of the united states is such that we are looking at the aging population over the next couple of decades we will become very old we need younker people to take over the labor force with a globalized economy. and now the main focus for strength the meeting and maintaining ingrowing the labor force fifth off with immigration we have a number of studies that touched on that talking about the geography of skills across the metropolitan areas and thinking the fiscal policy institute that economic effects but i will turn this to my panelists here. including the of labor for. >> and ver

district, the government of texas got tenth amendmenty and threatened to secede from health care, end from the united states, itself. very patriotic. texas would be gone. they'd get no more highway money. there would be no more shared national defense. it would just be texas on its own. the land where nobody messes with the fact that poor people can't afford health insurance. that was almost four years ago exactly. >> the opposition to reforming health care isn't the most cogent thing in the world thus far. the gop health care solutions group in congress, you will recall, admitted this week they think it's best if they don't actually offer any health care solutions. they'd rather just keep saying no to whatever it is the democrats are offering no matter what it is. but in this rollicking substance-free festival of incoherence, there is one man who is determined to be the most incoherent of all. little known outside his home state for anything other than having beautiful hair and for threatening to secede from the union back in april, texas governor rick perry is now threatening that texas will also s

united to the supreme court. i'm sure we're going to see another health care challenge, not the kind we saw last term as you probably read, there are a number of lawsuits throughout the country, they're moving fairly quickly, raising religious questions about the new health care law. and guns, gosh, there's litigation around the country trying to fill out the meaning of what the court did in the district of columbia gun law. so, she made a pretty good case tax let's take a look at this young court, with new members, and, see what's going on. and that's why i decided to give it a shot. but i do make the point that it's early. and linda and i talked a little bit what that means in terms of john roberts himself. >> right. so, just to backtrack a bit, so these four cases, helloer, the gun case, parents involved integration case, citizens united of course needs no further introduction and health care cases, you said they all come to the court, brought by or supported by quite activist players, some repeat lay players from the right, and to ask the supreme court to take these cases, take these issues up for decision. it w

the debate about president's health care reform, what i was frustrated by was, the debate was all about who is going to pay the exorbitant cost of health care in the unitedates. how we shift the risk, what kind of insurance should there be, who is going to pay this very high cost? the parallel would be the debate we see all the time about, you have a terminal patient in the last six months of life, is it worth the million dollars to keep the patient alive for six months? i hear that debate and say how come it is a million dollars? but that was of $50,000 debate, it would be a different kind of debate. how did i approach it? i decided to follow the money and just take a bunch of bills and see why things cost so much. again, my suspicion was not where i came out. where i can not was that -- this is where i will happily agree with david -- there is no market. institute'sof the health care policy is to connect the marketplace to health care. guess what, that has not happened and is not going to happen. the reason it cannot happen is unlike everything else, except in certain instances, maybe plastic surgery, nobody really volunteers to be a customer. when the
