al jazeera america dave zirin joins us from silver spring maryland, the sports editorial for "the nations always, good to see you. the para olympics, less visible, fewer athletes but the u.s. gateway taking a stronger stance by not sending any officials. the u.s. did send a delegation to sochi for the olympics but made a statement by including openly gay athletes to send a message about russia's anti-gay laws. is it the right move to not send anybody with these moves? >> no. it's not the right move. it's not necessarily the wrong move either. what it is, is another half measure, not only by the united states but other european countries who are going to follow suit where they are showing that they are being really, really tough on putin and really angry about it but they want to make sure there is room open for negotiations. so, it mirrors a lot of the political and diplomatic moves we have seen. the athletes are still going to be there. they are still going to compete. but there is not going to be a u.s. delegation along with them. to me, it's actually far less aggressive than what we s

maryland is announcing its ditching its state-based online exchange. plagued with technical problems from the start, state officials say they plan to use technology from connecticut's now. let's get more. molly? >> maryland's democratic governor martin o'malley signaled that some announcement would be coming on the $125 million state obamacare exchange and now the word is maryland is going to toss aside its own troubled system and all that money and look to use software from connecticut. the official now announcement likely will come next tuesday, now, that's one day after what was supposed to be the firm sign-up deadline march 31st for obamacare. but the obama administration is sayi inamericans can have a few more weeks to sign up. here's what health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius said about that yesterday. >> we now have 6 million folks as of a couple of days ago who have enrolled in a plan. i think we will have significantly more by the time that open enrollment ends and that's new health security for millions of americans. >> but republicans dispute those numbers because they don't differentiate between those who sign up and those w

libby casey joins us from the kong intervention in national harbor, maryland.hat is palin's message from the party faithful today? >> a lot of bashing of president obama, everything from healthcare to nsa, as she calls it, government intrusion, getting a lot of applause from the audience here tonight, jonathan. >> who else has been speaking, libby? talk to us about some of the highlights from this conference. >> you know, it really is a moment for conservatives to come and speak to a base that loves them. it's a chance for republicans who want to burn issue their image, who want love from conservatives, wants to prove themselves. they can come like governor chris christie. he was shunned last year for being too cozy with president obama. he showed up, spoke and was given a standing ovation. it was an opportunity to connect with that conservative base. you can hear the crowd behind me. they are loving sarah palin and the message that she is giving. interestingly enough, though, governor palin did not move the meter in the cpac straw poll. now, the cpac straw pol

maryland is dropping obamacare. they are going to use technology from connecticut's marketplace. 49,000 out of the expected 150,000 marylandents had signed up for obamacare as of last week. why do you think it's not performing as stellar as the president hoped? >> people's faith in government to do things well is something like members of a cult. no matter how much evidence there is, they continue to believe. this can't work. we can't even win wars any more in america. why would anybody turn to washington to think that they're going to develop some kind of an insurance program and later health care, something like the nhs and the uk which is also a miserable failure that they can do it better than the private sector? a reformed private sector, to be sure. the state of maryland has become dysfunctional in this. they are going to adopt connecticut. it's not going to work. the american people,000 all those polls, the one you just showed have been reluctant to accept it. when it finally kicks in fully, and we don't know when that will be because the deadline keeps moving, they are going to be more outraged. >> as fellow americ

us. seattle cancer care excluded from five of eight networks. marylandnderson cancer, less than half of the network. sloan kettering excluded from seven of nine. the bottom line of these stories, only four of 19 nationally-recognized cancer centers will be insured. now, i think that's incredible. >> it's a tragedy. for these patients it's a tragedy. beyond the problems we're already seeing in las vegas where a gentleman has a nearly half a million dollar bill when he signed up for obamacare and it turned out it didn't quite register and he had a lot of bills from his heart attack and he's got a half million dollar bill now because he thought he signed up. he was registered as signed up but apparently it didn't go through. >> see, there are a lot of things about this that bother me, including the life at stake. but the point is, pre-existing conditions were supposed to take care of this stuff, but they don't have all the of the nation's greatest hospitals. that's the point here. look, to summarize, only four of 19 nationally-recognized cancer centers are

maryland. bill white joins us from houston. the former mayor of houston.r with us from morgan stanley as well. mayor white, if i look at this debate, to me it is the haves and have-nots. you have some have-nots in houston. what do republicans get wrong about the affordable care act debate? >> i will tell you, it is always arbitrary when you look at the fact that people have medicare at age 65 and they can have some of the best medical care in the world, but somebody just a few months before or a few months younger has the same condition and they can be condemned to death or bankruptcy. that was the problem of the system. personally, i have a problem with the affordable care act. >> what is your problem with it? >> we are running immense deficits. before you start expanding benefits, then we need to start paying for some of the benefits that we are ready have. >> within this, dr. harris, the idea of fiscal responsibility, the budget is improving, isn't it? >> we cannot hardly call hatchling dollar deficit and improvement -- half chilean dollar deficit and i

from maryland. congressman, good to have you with us tonight. >> ed, always good to be here. >> the number is at 5 millionmber. as i see this, you've got april, may, june, july. four more months before everybody goes home in august to get on the stump, to communicate town hall meetings. where do you think we'll be in four months and what will the democratic narrative be? >> well, as you said, we hit the 5 million mark today and it's going to be climbing. i think democrats are going to be increasingly on the offense, on the affordable care act, even as we talk about other critical issues. the number one issue, of course, on the minds of the american people, jobs and the economy. but the affordable care act will give people more economic certainty. and i agree with you. i think republicans are going to make a big mistake by doubling down on their anti-affordable care message. people are tired of it. they want to improve it as we go along, not shut down the government to get rid of it, not vote for the 53rd time to get rid of it. especially what, as you know, and the american people know, the republicans hav

protecting consumers from fraud and harm is certainly something that all of us share. i am glad the university of maryland and target representatives are here to tell us of their recent and well-publicized reaches. while forensics investigations into these incidents are still going, millions have been affected. i look forward to hearing what lessons target and the university of maryland have learned from these and what steps they are taking to prevent them in the future and to better safeguard people's personal information. yet data breaches are not exclusive to the university of maryland and target. there were more than 600 breaches in at least 44 million compromised records in 2012 alone. while we are here today primarily to discuss data breaches in the private sector, he cannot forget that the u.s. government also holds vast amounts of information. it is estimated that the federal government spends billions in security, including in fiscal year 2012, but it is not immune to cyberattacks and data breaches. more than 22,000 data breach incidents were reported, a number that was more than double what was
