we talked to united healthcare during the course of this. there was the remark that you've transitioned many, many retirees to the preferred diabetic program nationally with almost no complaints. working with the executive director and her team, just recognizing the value that a member not having to worry about how they're getting home from the hospital upon discharge if they don't have a family member or friend to pick them up or how i'm going to get to my transportation -- or how am i going to get to an appointment, the enhanced nutritional counseling, so important programs that cms through their innovation program has made plans like united healthcare available to members so our goal is not to add costs to do those but then also looking for ways to help pay for those enhancements and these preferred purchasing opportunities present through the formulary change that will benefit many members, adversely impact some and then with the diabetic supply program that enables united healthcare to then pass along to every member, not just the 495,

the first one is the united healthcare preferred diabetic supply. you are asked to use a specific supply for diabetics. but also gives you zero co-pavement for the preferred diabetic supplies and some additional services like kidney dialysis and a reduced co-payments for things like urgent care, physical therapy and we will list those out on subsequent pages. >> clerk: i don't think the slides are advancing.

listen, we get great healthcare in the united states. i personally have the benefit of that in the last couple months. we are blessed to live in this country, we're blessed to have the quality of healthcare that we have. is it twice as good as countries who pay half as much? i'm not sure that's the case. we pay for procedures, we pay for sickness. we have outlined an agtd to try to move towards paying for value and outcomes. i have four parts to that gd a, the first is genuinely interoperable health information technology to unleash the power of i.t. in this space, the second is transparency of price and quality, so the patient is in the driver seat making real choices, the third is using the power of medicare and medicaid to drive fundamental change in our system. we are the biggest payers in the system. the fourth is removing government barriers to coordination and integration of care delivery to deliver better quality more efficiently. it's absolutely on the radar and we are determined to make a material change here. >> on the regulato

clinton is first lady endured a lot of attacks when she went into healthcare and controversial issues but it takes a village, the country unitedmilania is trying to help kids and doing things the country can agree upon so doesn't make sense. tucker: what i dislike is the way the left is framed everything as a moral divide. nothing about trump can be good and everything against trump must be good. seems like an inherently insane way to look at the world. >> let me say the attacks on the first lady our personal. we can talk about hillary getting into policy, let's deal with policy issues but remember the attacks on the first lady i would contend are because attacks on the pres. don't work and there's an inherent decision here to destroy his base of support and that is why she has been targeted. she is a strong woman, she knows what is going on. the media tries to tantalize her but she will stick to what matters to her children's lives and supporting her son and her family. this is the irony, the media is doing what the establishment is doing which is claiming donald trump is immoral and they move into every single thing they tri

healthcare in itself. when all health caters are worse in the seven united states but one of the last places i got to cut the ribbon on was new planned parenthood health center in charleston, south carolina, where despite the government we just opened a brand-new health center that for the first time provides safe and legal abortion transgender care in charleston, south carolina. that to me is -- that's what we've got to do. [applause] that's what also encourages other people. i think we didn't touch on this but i will just say, seeing what people are doing even when they say you can't, which is basically what we've been doing in texas, south carolina, louisiana. seeing the biggest women's march is ever in history of this country is what inspires other people to take action. one of his examples to me as seen women teachers across this country wildcat strike you on behalf of themselves and their pupils in a way that is revolution and distort. they are taking courage and what they're saying other women do. give it up for the teachers. it's amazing.

as we all know healthcare is complicated and a lot of things can happen. there is a general dissatisfaction in the united states with end of life care. if you look at the survey research that i have, you ask people, what would you prefer? people say i would like to die at home. i would like to be sure that i am comfortable and my family is around and have the opportunity to die at home, like our grandparents did routinely. instead, overwhelmingly people are dying in hospitals, oftentimes icu units and so on. there is in medicare a hospice benefit. the hospice benefit is a wonderful thing. i forget what the number is, a large number of people are taking advantage of it. the good news is more people are starting to die. as far as public policy is concerned, one thing that we can do in medicare is to encourage perhaps a new benefit, the -- of care benefits, not necessarily hospice, it would guarantee people an option to take advantage of the services that are now in medicare part a and medicare part b. it is very fragmented and very disjointed. if we have created such a benefit we would have the opportunity

healthcare said we are not paying for this. is that what happened? >> in a nutshell, yes. cancer care, whether you in the unitedmoon, it's very expensive. there is no getting around that the most tangible way that we have to lower the cost is to find better treatment to not only treat cancer but cure it so we can get people back into the workforce. this gentleman, a young guy, he had late stage cancer, colon cancer as you mentioned that failed chemotherapy, radiation he asked what about immunotherapy which is a more novel treatment turning on your own cells to fight the cancer? they said well, can you request it to the government. it will take months upon months for a response. he didn't have months upon months. he ended up getting a response. and they said absolutely not. this is not cost-effective. this hasn't gone through so many trials. we're not going to do it. and so what he did was, he did his own crowd funding. and he raised the money and paid for it himself. is he doing great now. he has written a book. when he was just given months to live. ainsley: if this happens in america if we get socialized medi
