a new survey finds that insurance is about to officially become "unaffordable" for many. and it also explains why there's such an adamant divide between those who love obamacare and those who hate it. the survey was done by the first and largest private online health insurance marketplace, ehealth. i spoke to senior vice president john desser. i remember when obamacare first started and they had so many problems with their website. ehealth offered your expertise to help them sort through that and get things working. they didn't want the help. be that they did. we offered. i was told that a u.s. senator at one point walked into the roosevelt room with an ipad and pulled up our website and said, "mr. president, here's a private health insurance website that is working. why don't you just work with them?" and i'm told the president shrugged and looked at the staff. which i interpret to mean, "i don't care if there's a private website that works. i want my website to work." sharyl: he could have meant, as well, "why can't our website work if theirs does?" john desser: i think

why families gained that equity from -- and today, those homes are unaffordable to working class people. $100,000 in 1940 -- in our terms, in 1947-48 was twice the national median income. working class familiar cries not afford to buy homes. today those homes sell for -- working class families, and middle class families can't even afford to move to the suburbs that were segregate dade e up a claves in the 40s and 50s. so today, nationwide, we have a ratio in income. african-american income on average is 60% of white income. african-american wealth is five to seven percent of white wealth. most families gain their welted through housing equity. this enormous difference between 60% income ratio and five percent wealth ratio, is almost entirely attributable to unconstitutional, federal housing policy that was practiced in the 1930s, '40s, and 'other 5s. so the wealth gap is attributable to this residential segregation. >> author julie lythcot-hais, speaks about growing up in biracial america. >> hello, welcome to book people. we're so glad you're here tonight. just a couple of reminders. a

white families gained that equity in today those homes are unaffordable to working-class people. working-class families cannot afford that. today there are seven times the median income. middle-class families cannot afford to move. so, today nationwide have a ratio income, african-american income is about 60% of white income. those families in this country gain their wealth through housing equity. this enormous difference between 60% income ratio of 5% wealth ratio is almost attributable to unconstitutional federal housing policy practiced in the 1930s, 40s and 50s. the wealth gap is attributable to this. >> you can watch this on booktv.org.

white families gained that equity from comment today those homes are unaffordable to working-class people. $100,000 in 1940, in our terms, in 1940, was twice the national median income. working family could afford those homes. today those homes self or seven times national median income, working-class families can't even afford to move to the suburbs that were created in segregated in the '40s and 50s. so today nationwide we have a ratio of income,, african-american income on average is about 60% of white income. african-american wealth is five to 7% white well. most of us in this country gain their wealth through housing equity. this enormous difference between 60% income ratio and 5% wealth ratio is almost entirely attributable to unconstitutional federal housing policy that was practiced in the 1930s, '40s and into the 50s. so the wealth gap is attributable to the segregation. >> some of these authors have will be appearing on booktv. you can watch them on our website tv.org. >> today live on "in depth" professors corner west and robert george will be our guests. >> anytime i get a cha

after all, who wants to see health insurance premiums become more unaffordable than they already are for individuals who are buying insurance in the individual market. and our two bills, one that i have with bill nelson and tall ex wander murray bill will is downward pressure on premiums to make it more affordable. >> dickerson: there is one critique that have, your legislation helped the condition before this tax bill which has removal of that individual mandate, these fixes won't be enough for those people who will see higher premium increases. >> we have brand new study that just came out last week that reads that consulting firm that says it will more than offset the repeal of the individual mandate. keep in mind that the individual mandate falls disproportionately on middle and low income. 80% of those are paid by families who make less than $50,000 a year. >> dickerson: all right. senator, i'm afraid we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much nor being with us. >> thank you, john. dickerson: we'll be back in one minute to hear from the one minute to hear from the number tw

the reason chip exists is health insurance coverage for many working family's of moderate means is unaffordable, and even if they have coverage at workplace they can't afford it with full family coverage. many families will be confused about where they can find affordable coverage, some may try to find coverage within the marketplace but that may not be available to them for an employer who offers coverage and others will have to look at having their children unassured. >> sreenivasan: diane rowland from the kaiser family foundation, thanks for being with us. >> is thank you for having me. >> sreenivasan: last year, there were an estimated 1.7 million new cases of cancer diagnosed in the united states, and almost 600,000 people died from the disease. that made cancer the second leading cause of death in the u.s. and while more than 2,000 immunotherapy drugs are currently in development, a surprisingly small number of u.s. cancer patients participate in clinical trials, a key part of the research process. in tonight's signature segment, newshour weekend's christopher booker reports on efforts by

it was so completely unaffordable. then that went away, and now many more people, millions of people more be subjected to that discrimination. so in any event, they may have won a battle yesterday. i think he will be -- we will be continuing this fight. >> one quick thing. it should be lost in anyone the because of the child's health insurance program and the affordable care act, we've reached historic levels of insurance for our kids. that means they get to see their pediatrician on a regular basis. they get it all apart and checkups and, this is good for america. so we will be able to watch and continue our fight for america's kids, as states inform families that chip is at risk and our kids are at risk. >> i just want to add, in addition to families all across america that a been hit so hard with the overt epidemic, particularly children, we in new hampshire have a skyrocketing foster children now, children that are being raised by grandparents who were in the foster care, that's why children's health insurance and

for many of these individuals cost of insurance under the aca is simply unaffordable. individuals making 250% of the federal poverty level, that's just over $30,000, are not eligible for the subsidies to reduce deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs that are known as thet- cost-sharing reduction. so essentially the insurance that they are being fined if they don't buy is virtually useless to them because they deductiblesan and co-pays are so high, and if they make under 250% of the poverty level, under $30,000 a year, they cannot, they cannot afford it. madam president, i want to make an important point that has been overlooked ind this debate. any senator, democratic or republican, could have offered an amendment onti the senate flr to strike the repeal of the individual mandate. none, not one chose to do so. that is telling you and reflects both how unpopular the mandate is and how burden some its impact is. nevertheless, madam president, repealing the individual mandate without other healthcare reforms will almost certainly lead to further increases in the cost o

white families again into that equity from and stayed into the homes are unaffordable, 100,000 in 1940 in our terms and in 1947 and 48 was national median income with the fha mortgage. today they are seven times more. middle-class families can't even afford to move to the suburbs before enclaves in the 40s and 50s, so today nationwide, we have a ratio of income, african income is about 60% of the white income. african-american wealth is five to 7% of white wealth. most families in the country gained their wealth through housing equity. this enormous difference between 60% income ratio and 5% of ratio is almost entirely attributable to unconstitutional federal housing policy that was practiced in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, so the wealth gap is attributable [applause] >> good evening, everyone.

it's noted in the moving paper, as a matter of fact, it was noted the property was unaffordable at $4.5 million and now the finished product has an appraised value over $30 million people would not rip houses like this down if the fines are commensurate to that kind of increase in value. those are the kind of policy decisions i hope this hearing informs regardless of how we vote and regardless of the testimony away hear. thank you, madam president. >> supervisor breed: now we'll have ten minutes for the appellant for the appellant representative to come forward and represent your case. you're the appellant? >> yes, and will be using overheads. thank you. good afternoon, supervisor breed and members of the board of supervisors. i'm kathleen courtney for the russian hill community association. before you today is the appeal of the conditional use request for lot merger approved by the planning commission august 31. the conditional use authorization was the final step in a five-year process that resulted in the illegal demolition of the willis pope designed resident at 841 chestnut street

a highly gentrified community does not need a 90% unaffordable housing project. there's a first-floor retail that will cater to the highest bidder, who will cater to the highest purchaser, and so what are you doing to the other -- what are you doing to the color of the mission? what are you doing to the viability of the continues mom a -- continued mom and pop businesses in the mission? so for those reasons, i think you have plenty to deny conditional use. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners, tim colon in support of this project. the benefits of this project are so self-evident, they're not worth discussing here. what i would say is to me, a successful housing policy for the city would have dozens or hundreds of projects like this on transit corridors on neighborhoods around the city, and it doesn't make sense that something that would enhance a transit corridor and another neighborhood is somehow inappropriate on mission street when it's car-free. the second thing is this appears to be an interesting

infrastructure and for six years republicans refused to do so on the grounds that they said it was unaffordable and now having passed a tax bill that added $1.5 trillion to deficits that will be ringing in people's ears and you will find republicans on their side arguing that now, having done this on the tax bill, we certainly can't move forward on infrastructure. there's a lot of obstacles here and also a question of what kind of infrastructure investment will it be? to reward investment bankers doing private infrastructure inveftsmentes or actual investments and public works which is what democrats favor. i think there's a lot of hurdles to cross. >> good point two parties have a different vision of what an actual infrastructure plan would be. david, happy holidays to you and your family. >> same to you, jim. >>> coming up next, a question how do you reconcile claim that's the g.o.p. is bias against trump and the russian probe during the clinton campaign while clinton are claimed it worked against her in the probe. are keeping them honest. >>> also, later what obama told prin britain's prince

during a time in which rising costs are making the city rather unaffordable for artists and forcing many to move away, i'm proud to say that last year boxcar paid more than $1.2 million to 228 theater artists, including a, tos, musicians, directors and designers. we've also paid close to $1 million to 144 theater workers including stage managers, set builders, wardrobe staff, box office building and ushers. we created 120 new permanent jobs right here in san francisco. the speak easy has hosted more than 28,000 audience members, both local and tourist. many of whom you can see lining the nearby restaurants. we created partnerships with central station, chubby noodle, broadway cafe and cafe tries to name a few. we participated in community events like the north beach festival, san francisco pride parade, given away hundreds of tickets to support fundraising auctions for local nonprofits in the community and i personally directed the holiday tree lighting that was across the street two weeks ago. we spend hundreds of dlafrs every week at the broadway hardware, new grand enklaoers, cole har

bumping up an already unaffordable cost beyond what it had been sold for. >> what was your initial take, assuming the bill was going to be $1.5, and what's the take now that you're saying it's going to be $2.2? >> either way, what we shouldn't be doing is having a tax plan to make our debt worse. tax reform is a tremendous opportunity, both because we need to do things to grow the economy and make us more competitive, but also because we can help improve our fiscal position, mainly by getting rid of a lot of the inefishabout tax breaks we did an end run around tax reform we didn't do nearly as much of the base broadening as we could have and should have the result is it's going toadd more debt and be less pro-growth than it would have been if it was paid for and we got rid of a lot of the tax breaks. i thought $1.5 trillion was an outrageous thing to add to the debt when our debt is at near record levels and something that will cost over $2 trillion will do even more damage. i find it disappointing when we should do the hard work shoring up our financial situation that we're taking the

say but who does a city actually belong to the citizens well for many living in this city has become unaffordable property prices have been rising for years in many big cities that's why investors buy logic pop and blocks and sell off the single units for a higher price it's a great deal less so for tenants many of driven out of their homes as they can't pay the higher rents we took a look at the situation in berlin. every candidate in berlin every tenant if you're paying rent you're at risk. if you can there's no right that guarantees everyone can live in city centers. of course the city must be there for those who live and work in it but otherwise it'll stop being a city of. who does the city belong to and who can afford to live in it a common topic among berliners in the working class quite spec district many residents live on modest incomes so they're upset about the current push towards modernization which could end up doubling their rents but that's the plan for real estate firms like phoenix play house the tenants so they can really rent flats or sell them. the companies don't like to be n

i mean, this house is not unaffordable under section 317. so we have to determine if it's necessary, desirable, compatible, to demolish the house. that said, we have a replacement product that has four units. how would you parse what we've got in front of us? >> commissioners, i would -- first of all, i would acknowledge that there are some ill-defined and unclear aspects of the housing accountability act and how it would apply where conditional use permit is required. what is difficult here is that you have a conditional use permit that's for the demolition that has fairly general, nonspecific standards involved. that the -- and that the replacement housing, as far as i can tell and planning staff can correct me if i'm wrong, complies with the objective zoning standards. what the housing accountability act does is allow a decision making body to disapprove the project where it makes specific findings. it certainly doesn't disallow the commission from continuing the item and asking project sponsors to work on some design revisions or some di
