so much goes on here but california will thrive even more if the university is thriving. there is a direct connection. >> is there a concern you think? the university is a terrific institution. there are noble prize winners, lots of books are written by professors on national and international tv. is there a risk, do you think, of appearing almost too elite that the legislature that represents low income folks may not be able to relate? >> let's back it up and say we are not elitest in that way and in fact, almost 40, 42% of our students get pell grants. they are from lower income families. another 20% pay less than half of what the tuition is, so the doors of the university are wide open. i think we don't advertise it as well as she should. >> many of those kids and families don't even know they are eligible for those grants. >> that's right. i've been to several high schools and asked for a show of hands, how many knew if their family made $80,000 or less they would pay no tuition at the university and hardly anyone knows that. so -- >> so they write off the university

[captioning made possible by california farm bureau federation] >> so we all know that california is king when it comes to growing citrus. and when it comes to growing lemons, no one is bigger than this ventura county farm. and with over 7,000 acres of lush lemon trees, limoneira isn't just the biggest lemon grower in california, but in all of north america. based in santa paula, the farm is a testament to what hard work and determination can do. founding fathers nathan blanchard and wallace hardison first bought the land way back in 1893 and named the ranch limoneira, which means "lemon lands" in portuguese. >> and at the time, they wanted to bring about the first full-scale commercial operation citrus ranch in the u.s. and from there, we added, throughout the years, over the last 115-16 years, 3 other families have come into the fold, and that's where we've grown today to be our 7,000 acres that we are in california. >> once called the home of the lemon, it actually took 15 years before those first farmers even turned a profit at the limoneira farm. but they persevered, and as they

what's interesting is if we look at the highs and the lows and we look at california, in california is the home of manage care. we have the department of manage health care. we have the most regulated health care system and the most as we like to say the most advanced management health care in the country and yet we have the highest costs. breathing problem for ventilateers, the average is 62, we 120. cop, the average is 30, we pay 58. so we're heavily regulated, but not around transparency and we have no regulation around accountability. in san francisco, the variation in health care is significant. you can get a knee replacement and it may cost $68,000 or at another hospital across the street might cost $25,000. lab tests, a chest x-ray may cost $20,000 or $58,000. there is no rhyme or reason to what we are paying for. prices are arbitrary and all over the map. they make no sense and the only way to fix this is transparency and accountability. so you might ask, well, lisa, you're system is the largest in san francisco, the second largest in the state, why don't you ask what the price

it started making me think about california in the 50s and 70s. no state in america over those decades had jobs like that we grew 3.7 percent with the nation hat 2.4 percent. we were building bridges and airports and the like. i think about the book mark of the last thirty years over the 50s and 60s and 70s. we must mash those numbers up. we're no longer the tenth pole of the american committee no longer are we growing at the substantial rate we've gm become average. it's like the american dream. we move from the greatest generations to the grasshopper generation eating up everything in sight. no longer save and invest the grasshopper generation they borrow and spend and so it seems like this is the day to think about the future and get back to the future business to start investing in that formula that defined the state of draermz and entrepreneurs and innovativeers who have been on the leading elsewhere. we represent a regeneration of sort. revisit in sustainable values from a long term prospective. not the situational values that define the las

california's not as bad, and then finally, california is well funded. i think it's important to hone in on this. take away the federal exchanges for a second and just look at the 20 states implementing it. how do you explain the massive wide variation in implementing essentially the same project. >> some has to do with the management. a very good management, a very experienced head in california, and also in connecticut. so mlgts has something to do with it. you see this in connecticut too. we don't underestimate how important it is to use the bargaining power it has. number two it forces insurers to compete on price. and third, it makes the technology a little easier. i don't want to overstate that, but where there's a simpleler system with fewer benefit packages, the technology is easier. and obviously that's one thing that we can state is very, very important. when you're going to work working on imp men indication on this law, how much does a political threat from republicans hang over what you were doing? >> well, it hung over it a lot. it hung ove

especially in california. swing voters who had been fine with voting republican, who liked the party's economic platform, but who were also more moderate and liberal on cultural issues w those voters saw in the rise of gingrich and the gop congress was a new different republican party, a far more conservative southern and religious infused republican party. a party they weren't comfortable with anymore. put all of that together and a generation later, america's biggest state, which is once a republican friendly swing state, the state that gave rise to richard nixon and ronald reagan, the home of orange county, the orange conservative suburban uprising began, that state has been transformed into a top to bottom democratic bastion. voting for president obama by 24 points in 2008, 23 points last year, every state wide office is controlled by democrats. and last year democrats even gained a veto proof two-thirds majority in the state legislature. this is why one california republican strategist in a memo that leak

and argued that there was bail in california in the 60s. i can't say there was a grass root movement but when you look at that movement to warehouse people in mental hospitals, and shall initiatives. the state was looking to break down these very discriminatory patterns that focused on certain communities. there is a moment of that. but it was caught up in the fear of crime. i am old enough to remember in the 70s as the homicide rate continued to go up. and something has to be done but we throw it under the bus for risk prevention and poverty is -- and race are to be changed by proactive measure. >> let me take a question from the audience, professor simon, money system often taps the relatives assets. and then the relatives are motivated to help locate the fugitives. what would motivate them to rat out of fugitives. in other words what the question is getting at, sometimes having to post bail can cause the community around the accused to get involved in their life and take an active role of the charges. or if you have a situation of a fugi

so this looks at the cost per day in the hospital in california for 2011. and what medicare pays and what commercial payers pay and this is adjusted by cost of the living. medicare pays more. for whatever reason, cost per day is higher in san francisco under the medicare program. if you look at commercial payers, they pay much more in san francisco than los angeles. well, one the main reasons is los angeles is a much more competitive market. within 30 miles of usc, there's 70 different hospitals and there's not so much systems so the plans can negotiate to keep prices down. they can pick this hospital and that hospital. they're not forced to take and some markets they are , and that's why prices have gone up. at the bottom you can see this kind of summary measure is in san francisco, commercial plans pay 240 percent of medicare and in los angeles it's close to 200 percent. and that points to the differences in regional competitive structure. can what be done? policies to provide a market. some of these were talked about your earlier speaker. we need to go t
