my question is for jonathan, before 2014 and for the lady from wellpoint after 2015. it has to do with benefits. so for john, what did you do about the fact that the benefit packages were totally different? you could have a very thin plan that had low premium and you could have the, you know, the whole nine yards executive program that would have a higher premium. and how much, the aca mandates, the 10 required benefits or whatever. how much variation is there in benefits going forward? i mean we know about the bronze and silver and that has to do with the degree of coverage, the premium but in terms of actual benefits how much variety is there still? >> let me see, for the before period that's a great point, there is huge amount of variation. that is why rates i'm giving rates of inincrease for a given product. this is average across all products for a given product. a mix of all of them. it is representation across all the different products offered in the market beforehand, what was the average rate of increase holding the product characteristics constant. that's w

i'll give you three there as well, engine, wellpoint and mckesson. >> very nice. michael cuggino. i know the last the last time i look at your permanent portfolio, you have heavy into gold. are you buying more gold or gold-related stocks on this news? >> no, we're comfortable with our gold and commodity weighting actually in our portfolio. i think it's important to discuss. there's a big difference between runaway inflation or inflation that will be different for the economy -- to have a negative impact and gradually rising inflation, and gradually rising interest rates for that matter. gradually rising interest rates are a positive, and they're indicative of a growing and increasingly healthy economy, so i think it's a positive sign, but, you know, again it's going up, the direction is going up, so inflation bears watching. volatility of interest rates bears watching. i don't think they're an immediate concern. >> we're not saying that inflation is a concern. what we're saying is if we continue this pace and the fed doesn't do anything, we could heat up to the point where it's no

. >> ith think one of the challens we face as you very wellpoint out this is very much a asymmetric relationship. this is not where the united states is concerning some of its capability compared to something that we're asking iran to do. we're asking iran to stop doing what ith has been doing illicity in against international norms and against international agreements and we're trying to trade off of sanctions relief against, against that. we know how to monitor missiles. we certainly, we certainly have a track record of things that we could puta in place if we could bring iran to that position. >> but your point is right on though. that is so central. if we're talking about weaponnization, miniaturization, that is delivery system. you have to look at the ballistic missile program. that is one program they work witht north korea on and they continue to develop and that is central piece to any meaningful verificationie protocol. theul missiles have to be very much a part of that. >> mr. chairman, i have number of other things but i yield back. >> we go down to mr. william keating of massachusett

let's bring in jim sciutto to continue this conversation as christiane just wellpointed out, they're. this could be a consequential day, jim. who knows what can happen when world leaders get together in one room to break bread. the message from western leaders has been vladimir putin needs to back down. you need to recognize the ukrainian government. you need to begin talking to the ukrainian government. the question is will the message actually sink in, jim? >> it's interesting, kate, we're commemorating a war, an invasion that took place 70 years ago today. we're talkth about a war, a low-level war, but still a war going on today inside europe, in eastern ukraine, one that u.s. officials blame on russia. it's remarkable. who would have thought that in the year 2014 we would have a conflict like this under way. it pits two super powers, u.s. and russia against each other ones again. now, the president gave president putin an opening in his comments yesterday, not only saying that he would be willing to meet with him today and talk, and there we see them in those pictures feet from e

that is about wellpoint 5% of -- 12.5% of all citations. legalize it might lead to other issues within your district and your state overall. when we are thinking about passing this as a federal mandate where it would be ok at the federal level, it has to trickle down. you have to make sure that it is legal at the federal level. localizing your issue, looking at people who are driving while there is a problem with people driving now while stoned while it is not legal. the same thing is true of alcohol. issuesre some of the that you would have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. people have a drivers license and make sure they are not drinking and under the influence. the one question i would have, how do you determine the individual's level of being stoned? do you take a blood test when you pull them over? is there a breathalyzer machine say thatvailable to they are not stoned? those are some issues that will have to be worked out at the state level. to drived not be able ends possess it. emergencys been under financial management. membershe
