into my agenda me is meeting, i expressed my concern about charges for laboratory tests under the unitedhealth dpo, like when these tests oh, curve, there is a charge of $25 for that, and i'm thinking that,. >> wait a minute, we're still under item number 16, which is the contracted health plan representative comment. >> okay. >> that we will be on the item in a second. >> excuse me. >> there was no public comment on item 16. we will moved item number 17. >> item 17, opportunity for the public to comment on matters within the board's jurisdiction. >> as i was saying inappropriately, yeah, there are several -- a person who is seriously ill may have to have extensive lab tests, and let's say, suppose at a rate of $25, say there is ten lab tests in succession, that comes to $250, and especially if you are low income, this could work as a disadvantage, so i'm thinking that this would have bearing on the rates and benefits for the coming year. >> i would just like to call attention to the fact that we wrote a paper on the co-pay issue, and it was included in last month's materials. >> i'm speaking

unitedhealth group down about a buck 72.f course the economic report and lowest unemployment rate since 1969 providing the catalyst for a lot of this. if you like what you're seeing now, if the chamber of commerce is right, we'll see a boom. if democrats and republicans can agree on some sort of spending for infrastructure. u.s. chamber of commerce chief officer kneel braddy. good to have you. >> thanks for having me here, neil. neil: i'm glad you pell it the officially correct way to spell neil. >> that is what i was saying, infrastructure. neil: infrastructure would treat a boom but there is no agreement how to pay for it. >> there is no silver bullet to pay for infrastructure. we think the opportunity for donald trump and congress to do what ronald reagan and tip o'neill did nearly 40 years ago. come together with come son sense user fee based model and adjust the motor fuel tax for the first time since 1993. states are doing it. neil: talking about the gas tax. >> i'm talking about the gas tax. neil: hasn't been hiked si

you see cigna, anthem, y unitedhealth some pharmaceutical stocks the risk for the rally, talking about it, no trade deal and question about what progress we're making on that and saw the hissy fit yesterday when powell did not imply a rate cut was coming they're wanting that and not getting it and we have a concern if the china recovery stalls we believe that's happening but that's a sentiment we need harder date about the china recovery and finally, kelly, said it all day stocks overpriced. we need earnings up a little bit more in the next couple of d inquiries. >> bob pisani. >>> dom chu looking at the recent winners and losers in this market. hey, dom. >> let's expand on the themes that bob just laid out with regard to sector moves today if you look at the year-to-date basis for the s&p map, it's all green because every sector, all 11 in the s&p 500 are actually in positive territory. year-to-date, tech consumer discretionary, industrials doing well and health mentioned, health care is still up 3% so far. but you take a look at some of the more stock specific elements with regard to

by the way, accounting for a third of the dow's gains, unitedhealth, microsoft and walmart. cisco systems, by the way, is the lead gainer on the s&p 500. a couple things going on here. the network gear maker provided an upbeat sales forecast and said it had minimal sales exposure to china. it is the big competitor though to chinese networking giant huawei who is a leader, certainly, in 5g. but we should tell you that some of the bumps that we've got cisco seeing right now, 7% to the upside, could be due to president trump announcing he'll allow the congress department to blacklist chinese rival huawei for national security reasons. cisco, obviously, likely to benefit. but the same executive order is actually hurting the u.s. chip sector. the philadelphia semiconductor index taking a hit as orders for chips and semicap gear could take a hit if the u.s. ban leads to lower demand out of huawei. why? why would u.s. companies be exposed? because they supply all kinds of material and product to what why. broad come, qualcomm -- broadcom, qualcomm. we've got broadcom down 1.7%. avg

. >> you have unitedhealth.eekly laggards, what is going on there, i got to tell you all about trade. talking about trade today. today stocks really lower earlier this morning on the news that we were having negotiations and they seemed to break down. intel, apple, boeing, all laggards this week. no surprise there, three these companies depend on china for a lot of sales. apple particular, about 20% of sales. henry shine, american international, nektar therapeutics a mix of companies. s&p the range of companies on that index. laggards there, mylan, symantec, affiliated managers. we've seen tech have trouble this week, particularly what is going on in china. again you see that in the weekly laggards. cheryl, send it back to you. cheryl: crazy types. gerri willis see you in just a bid. the trade issues weighing on markets, what are some ways to invest the path forward as trade negotiations continue? let's bring in ameriprize financial chief market strategist, david joyce. what do you make of the markets on a day l

dow, walt disney, unitedhealth group, pfizer among those, some issues beaten down have come off the worst levels. it is still early. 250 points in a slide is nothing to sneeze at but what do you see going on? >> neil, it is function of investors selling first asking questions later. reaction overnight by way of pressure that was put on premarket activity down over500 is being relieved somewhat. we know some of the market's activity here so far this year has been sort of baking in the expectation that we're going to have some conclusion to the negotiation process. it was speculated it could be as soon as this friday. that puts a little more uncertainty whether it occurs at all, let alone this friday and consequence of this action was to expect the worst and hope for the best. now perhaps i think investors are seeing cooler heads prevailing with regard to likelihood something ultimately is getting done. maybe this is just posturing on the part of president trump saying he can demonstrate he put his hand heavily into the deal to make sure we got the very best out of it we possibly could. nei
