Forces in the middle east says he wont hesitate to ask for more american Ground Troops in both iraq and syria. Ive always been encouraged if we need more, we will ask for more. Reporter general joseph votel told cbs news additional american troops would be especially useful in syria. The u. S. Backed fighters are preparing an offensive to retake raqqa, the other selfproclaimed capital of isis. The forces that were operating with in syria are much more indigenous. Theyre much lighter.

Manuel bojorquez in daytona kicked the tires on that theory. Reporter ever since its birth on Daytona Beach in 1948 number 25 snags the guardrail on the backstretch. Reporter thrilling, unpredictable, and dangerous sports americans love to watch. But enthusiasm for the sport has been sputtering in recent years, and today, nascar is facing record declines.

Admissions are down 30 since 2010. David scott covers nascar for the charlotte observer. He says there are several factors to the decline. First, the new generation of drivers is more corporate than the socalled good old boys that made it famous. Theyre going to have to watch what they say and what they do a little more carefully than they did in the old days. Reporter the second is safety. In the past, fans would fill stadiums to watch their favorite racers crash into each other. The safety has become so much improved over recent years, that there hasnt been as much a risk of serious injury as there used to be. I feel like our sport reporter 19yearold Gray Gaulding is the youngest racer on the circuit. He believes the sport sells itself. You dont get that feeling until you show up to the race track, you smell the fumes, you see the tires. I feel like a lot of people still come to the races just because its so exciting.

Nasa scientist Thomas Zurbuchen the discovery gives us a hint that finding a second earth is not just a matter of if but when. Reporter in fact, it may be the best place yet found to search for life.

Reporter as a nation of second chances, america welcomed these young somali war refugees. 18yearold abba tobe and his 17yearold sister, zeytun came here seven years ago. Do you think the president and his team understand what it is to be a refugee . No. I definitely dont, you know. They dont really think about who theyre affecting. You leave everything in your old country just to get here, and then its like a slap in the face. Exactly. They dont understand how hard it is. Reporter more than 100,000 Somali Refugees have fled to the u. S. Since 1991. They escaped decades of civil war, famine, and islamic extremism. 15yearold shadia saeed was born here after her parents fled that war. 18yearold hamdi abdi arrived a year ago. I felt like america was like you had opportunities. Theres always money and everyones happy. And you actually meet humans and no one would actually really want to kill you. So thats what i thought it was. Then when you came you had trump, and hes hes him. I guess ideas changed of what i thought america would be. Most of us are looking for a second chance, you know. And i felt like as if he just just was like, oh, all muslims are bad, you know. Reporter has this issue changed your view about what america represents . Since the u. S. Is a country of liberty, freedom and such, and then you ban all these countries that have weak economies and weak governments and no ones there to help. Whatever the u. S. Does affects every other country. Youre the leader. You should actually lead with some respect and dignity. All over the world, its taught to be the country where people who have no hope, thats where they go. But now you see that, you know, theyve changed their their core ideals what they believed in. So theyre losing that special thing that they had for people all over the world. Reporter if you had the chance to talk to President Trump about this, what would you say . I would say you need to be more understanding of others, not just yourself. Try to put yourself in other peoples shoes. Islam is not the enemy. All the muslim countries are not the enemy.

Secretary of state Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security secretary john kelly are in mexico to discuss border issues with mexican officials. For secretary tillerson, his second foreign trip since becoming americas top diplomat. Hes kept a low profile in his first weeks on the job, and some current and former state Department Officials are raising concerns about staffing cuts and being kept from key meetings. Heres margaret brennan. Reporter while secretary of state Rex Tillerson has largely been silent during his almost three weeks on the job. He hasnt held any news conferences and many of his meetings and phone calls to foreign leaders are not being publicly disclosed. And there have been no daily briefings. That means foreign governments are often left describing american policy rather than the u. S. Itself. But perhaps more serious for diplomats, state Department Officials were completely shut out of President Trumps meeting with israeli Prime Minister last week, while mr. Trumps soninlaw, jared kushner, who has no experience in foreign affairs, did sit in. Insist tillerson suspect being shut out. Hes meeting with the president today. Officials tell me that tillerson is being careful and deliberate. Hes trying to turn President Trumps rhetoric into policy, while flying under the radar of a high profile administration that is face nothing shortage of challenges. One of the many global is e issues secretary tillerson will have to confront is the growing Nuclear Threat from north korea. Its also embroiled in a high profile assassination. Malaysian police are looking for two suspects in the killing of kim jongnam. Reporter malaysias Inspector General of police said they want to question two suspects. He also said the two female attackers may have been in on the plot. According to police, kim jongnam, assassins seen grabbing his face in this footage, knew the liquid in their hands was poisonous. You see the lady moving away with her hands hike this towards the washroom. So she knew very well that it is toxic and she needs to wash her hands. Reporter both women, police say, practiced the attack several times before last mondays assault. And were instructed to wash the liquid off quickly. The women said they were pulling pranks for what they thought was a hidden camera tv show. We strongly believe that they are being trained to do that. So this is not something just shooting movies. Reporter the training likely came from these four men, all north korean, who fled the country the day of the attack. Police believe theyre back in pyongyang. The Inspector General of police announced theyre searching for two more North Koreans in malays malaysia. One, a high level diplomat at the embassy th the other, an employee for north korea state run airline. Malaysian authorities have asked north korea to cooperate in their investigation, but so far they havent complied. Meanwhile, kim jongnams body is under tighter security this morning after someone attempted to break into the morgue. No next of kin has come forward yet to claim the body, but authorities have asked north korea for dna samples from family members, including from kim jongun, to identify the body.

He narrowly missed a passenger jet carrying more than a hundred people as he landed at a california airport. Kris van cleave has the latest. Reporter Harrison Ford is known as an experienced pilot. Hes logged thousands of hours into the cockpit of several aircraft, but that is not how this landing is supposed to go. And that error is raising concern. Surveillance video shows fords close call with a boeing 737. Last monday, his bright yellow single engine huskie came in for a landing, flying over flight 1456 with 110 passengers and 6 crew waiting to take off from John Wayne Airport south of los angeles. Air Traffic Control cleared the runway 20 left. Instead he landed on a parallel taxiway known as charlie. He then asked air Traffic Controllers, was that airliner meant to be underneath me . Reporter atc audio obtained by tmz seems to show ford confused about the type of aircraft he was flying about 20 minutes before landing. I never asked that question until after ive done it.

And in 1999, the experienced pilot crashed a helicopter while practicing auto rotations. No one was hurt. This is a pretty big mistake. Kind of entering the freeway the wrong way. Reporter retired Airline Captain ross amer says fords tendency to fly without a copilot leaves him vulnerable to mistakes. This could have been really bad.

The cost of a lifesaving diabetes medication is skyrocketing. Now major drug makers are accused of putting profits before patients. Between 2002 and 2013, the price of insulin more than tripled to more than 700. A federal lawsuit claims three insulin manufacturers are colluding to raise prices. Reporter this cell phone video shows a doctor talking to shauna thompson. Back in the hospital because she couldnt pay for her insulin. One vile of insulin costs how much for you . 178. Ep thompson had to be treated for a life threatening diabetic coma. Patients come in and say, i cant afford to take it. So im not. Reporter dr. Levitan says its common to hand out free drug company samples of insulin just so patients can stay on their lifesaving medication. Patients are begging for samples because they cant afford the insulin. Reporter not asking, youre saying begging . Begging. Reporter like 74yearold kathleen washington.

Reporter ssr health amized insulin list prices from 2012 to 2016 for the three companies that manufacture it, and found prices went up between 99 and 120 . Can. Reporter in a separate analyst, Richard Evans also found a sfrtriking pattern. The prices of two insulin drugs rose in lock step, mirroring each other, 12 times between 2008 and 2014. The two companies took price increases within days and similar, even identical down to the percentage point. Reporter if you raise your price and i raise my price to the same level, what am i saying to you as a company . Lets keep going. Im not going to fight you. Reporter senator Bernie Sanders is calling for a federal investigation, alleging collusion among the three drug companies. Just coincidentally, it happens that the three major suppliers of insulin seem to be raising their prices at the same exact time, at the same level. So i think you have to be very naive not to believe theres collusion. Reporter theres strong competition on price. And on the companys website, increasing list prices is designed to offset rebates and price concessions to maintain profitability. And lori riley, with the trade group that represents u. S. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, told us i dont believe theres been collusion by our company. Reporter she points out although the drug companys list prices up, the negotiated price for insulin have gone up just 2 to 3 overall. She says thats because enter mo immediate rare immediate ra take a fee and pass those lower prices on to Insurance Companies and consumers. The problem, says evans, patients with high deductibles or no insurance dont get those discounted prices. In other words, the people who can least afford these them . Everybody gets hit a hilittl bit. Reporter but riley says when you look at the evidence, the competitive marketplace is working to help keep drug Cost Increases in check. Reporter i listen to that statement and im hearing consumers go, are you kidding me . There is an issue for many patients who face increasing deductibles. If theyre coming to the pharmacy counter paying full list price, that is a problem. Reporter the countrys largest pharmacy benefit manager told us drug makers are the ones raising the prices. But experts tell us theres plenty of blame to go around here in the system. Meanwhile, all three insulin manufacturers say theyve announced new initiatives to make insulin more affordable for patients that need that help you can go to our website to find more information about those initiatives, as well as an email address to contact us about this issue or any other consumer problems you think we should look into. This time of year many drivers will be bumpy while they drive over potholes. A chicago man is turning road repair into artwork. Lee cowan introduces in a story for sunday morning. Reporter the white at the end of our long winter tunnel is ahead. But so are the calling cards winter leaves behind. The backholes that by string can swallow a car hole. Thats going to take an extra bag of concrete its so deep. Reporter before the snow and ice made goose bumps out of our road, we found jim little traffic triage. Jim decided to start fixing them, himself. I just want to get my work done and get out. Im not interested in having people watch me, really. Reporter especially the watchful gaze of the chicago police. Im always worried about the cops. Im too old to be arrested. Ive got twin boys. Reporter its true his gestures of good will arent technically legal, but no one has bothered him about it, because hes not just filling chicagos potholes, hes turning them into works of art. Its fun to see it reemerge. Reporter like this rendering of a rumple ed cheeto bag, made out of marble and blass. Its just that unexpected me. Reporter his street mosaics have been appearing around the city nor years, dozens donting the roads, former pot roles that are now frames for flowers, and a few that state the obvious. Like this pothole that proudly screams, its not a pothole anymore. This is probably my popular piece. Reporter probably more people see this than if it was in a gallery somewhere. Thats a good point. Reporter a graphic artist, jims passion for mosaics started on a trip to pompeii, italy, where he realized if art made of glass could survive a volcano, it could survive traffic. And they do. They hold up remarkably well. Much of the surprise and delight of passersby. Its great. It looks beautiful. I laugh every time i see it. Reporter jim spends eight to ten hours crafting each piece. All in his basement studio. Carefully chipping away at the colored glass. Then setting each tiny piece in place. There are some moments of terror once the because it can all go to hell in a second. Reporter its held together by nothing but cheese cloth and placing it on top of wet concrete is a process thats not entirely forgiving. As it dries, jim peels the cheese cloth back. Its a painstakingly slow procedure. Especially when you consider the fact that hes doing it all in his knees in the middle of traffic. Ever feel vulnerable out here . Yes, yes, i do. Reporter he just tries not to inhale too much. Theres a hazard. But the most nerveracking part may be leaving his work to dry overnight. He watches cars zoom around his cones, but somehow theyre survived, at least until theyre paved back over. It used to bum me out, but its a price i pay for playing in the street. Reporter thats why he posts his works on instagram. At least there, theres a little social media permanence. He has thousands of followers who wait for him to post his newest installation. After all, there are plenty of potholes that could use an artistic lift. Too many to ever get to in a single lifetime. So the next time you curse one for destroying your cars alignment or blowing a tire, try to look at them the way jim bocker does. Not as ump bumps in a road but an opportunity to do something truly inspiring. President trump spent last weekend at the socalled winter white house. His private club in palm beach florida. Hes been there the past three weekends, and thats 11 of his first 33 days at office. The travel has an estimated price tag of 10 million. Manuel bojorquez shows us how the numbers are quickly piling up. Reporter between the secret service and local deputies guarding the estate, and the u. S. Coast guard out in the surrounding waters, maralago is a fortress when the president is here. The white house will not disclose the exact cost of mr. Trumps visits. That 10 million figure is based on a similar trip by president obama in 2013. Air force one accounts for a big chunk of the president ial travel budget. Costing more than ,0 that means the roughly fourhour round trip flight to his seaside estate costs more than 700,000. If hes going down there every weekend, the costs are going to add up pretty quickly. Reporter tom fiden, president of the watch dog Group Judicial watch, is pressing the administration to release mr. Trumps travel costs. He doesnt need to go to florida every weekend. He can work at the white house or up at camp david. Reporter mr. Trump often attacked his predecessor for traveling too often, once tweeting reporter four years ago, president obamas weekend in south there are cost taxpayers 3. 6 million. The pentagon spent about 2. 8 million for air force one, plus support aircraft and military personnel. The secret service and the coast guard added nearly 800,000. During his eight years in about 97 million in travel costs. President trump is on pace to eclipse that by the end of his first year. Another cost of keeping President Trump safe, disruptions to businesses near maralago. The air space around the airport is restricted when the president is in town. On an average day, there are around 300 takeoffs and landings. But when the president is here, nothing is moving, except the bottom line for businesses that operate out of this airport. They say they lose about 30,000 each weekend theyre closed. Others welcome the president ial visits to palm beach. President trump will bring many more highend visitors to the community, which is going to definitely help everyone on a High Economic scale. Thats the overnight news for this thursday.

The forces that were operating with in syria are much more indigenous. Theyre much lighter. They dont have as good a mobility. They dont have as much firepower. So, you know, we have to be prepared to fill in some of the, some of those gaps for them, and that may involve, you know, Additional Fire support capability to help offset some of those gaps that they have and we would take the burden on ourselves to provide that aspect of the fighting. Reporter that sounds like more boots on the ground in syria. Perhaps that is what were doing. We may do that, but right now i havent made that determination. Ep rorter votel said the basic strategy, begun by the obama administration, of letting local forces do the fighting will not change. But in iraq, 450 american advisers are moving forward with iraqi forces into the city of mosul, getting closer to the front lines than ever before. General votel is in jordan tonight as he makes one last tour of the battlefield before recommending to the secretary of defense ways to accelerate the campaign against isis. His top field commander already has predicted both mosul and raqqa will be liberated within six months. Anthony. David martin in amman tonight. Thanks, david.

Nascars new season takes off on sunday as the green flag is waved at the daytona 500, but there have been rumblings lately that stock car racings popularity is wearing thin. Manuel bojorquez in daytona kicked the tires on that theory. Reporter ever since its birth on Daytona Beach in 1948 number 25 snags the guardrail on the backstretch. Reporter nascar has been for decades one of the most thrilling, unpredictable, and dangerous sports americans love to watch. But enthusiasm for the sport has been sputtering in recent years, and today, nascar is facing record declines. In 2004, eight Million People tuned into nascars sprint cup series. Last year, only 4. 6 million did, a decrease of almost half. There are also fewer fans in the stands. Admissions are down 30 since 2010. David scott covers nascar for the charlotte observer. He says there are several factors to the decline. First, the new generation of drivers is more corporate than the socalled good old boys that made it famous. Theyre going to have to watch what they say and what they do a little more carefully than they did in the old days. Reporter the second is safety. In the past, fans would fill stadiums to watch their favorite racers crash into each other. Improved over recent years, that there hasnt been as much a risk of serious injury as there used to be. I feel like our sport reporter 19yearold Gray Gaulding is the youngest racer on the circuit. He believes the sport sells itself. You dont get that feeling until you show up to the race track, you smell the fumes, you see the tires. I feel like a lot of people still come to the races just because its so exciting. Reporter promoting Young Drivers like gray is part of nascars strategy to counteract an aging fan base. Anthony, theyre also change the race itself with a new point system which is meant to create more action on tv. Manuel bojorquez in daytona.

Chip reid on a discovery scientists very excited. Reporter for astronomers, finding seven earthsized planets orbiting a single sun is like finding a pot of gold next to the holy grail. Nasa scientist Thomas Zurbuchen the discovery gives us a hint that finding a second earth is not just a matter of if but when. Reporter in fact, it may be the best place yet found to search for life. Sarah seager of m. I. T. Weve made a giant, accelerated leap forward in the search for habitable worlds. Reporter three of the planets are in the socalled goldilocks zone not too hot, not too cold, just the right temperature for liquid water, the key to life as we know it. Its possible all seven have water. A nasa artist with a vivid imagination thinks this is what the fifth planet could look like. Its neighbors easily visible and the sun much closer than ours. Fortunately, its also much smaller and cooler, which keeps the plans these heavenly bodies are 39 lightyears away. Thats 235 trillion miles, but by astronomical standards, theyre practically next door, close enough that when the James Webb Space Telescope is launched next year, it will be able to analyze the planets atmospheres, a big step towards answering the question, are we alone . Chip reid, cbs news, washington. That is exciting news. Up next, teenage refugees wonder whether america is still a beacon of hope. The Trump Administration is still rewriting the executive order that would temporarily close americas doors to refugees. Courts blocked the first version. The ban is part of the president s plan for fighting terrorism, but Mark Strassmann talked to some teenage immigrants who think mr. Trump should reconsider. Theres always, like, a second chance. Reporter as a nation of second chances, america welcomed these young somali war refugees. 18yearold abba tobe and his 17yearold sister, zeytun, came here seven years ago. Do you think the president and his team understand what it is to be a refugee . No. I definitely dont, you know. They dont really think about who theyre affecting. You leave everything in your old country just to get here, and then its like a slap in the face. Hard it is. Reporter more than 100,000 Somali Refugees have fled to the u. S. Since 1991. They escaped decades of civil war, famine, and islamic extremism. 15yearold shadia saeed was born here after her parents fled that war. 18yearold hamdi abdi arrived a year ago. I felt like america was like you had opportunities. Theres always money and everyones happy. And you actually meet humans and no one would actually really want to kill you. So thats what i thought it was. Then when you came you had trump, and hes hes him. I guess ideas changed of what i thought america would be. Most of us are looking for a second chance, you know. And i felt like as if he just just was like, oh, all muslims are bad, you know. Reporter has this issue changed your view about what america represents . Since the u. S. Is a country of liberty, freedom and such, countries that have weak economies and weak governments and no ones there to help. Whatever the u. S. Does affects every other country. Youre the leader. You should actually lead with some respect and dignity. All over the world, its taught to be the country where people who have no hope, thats where they go. But now you see that, you know, theyve changed their their core ideals what they believed in. So theyre losing that special thing that they had for people all over the world. Reporter if you had the chance to talk to President Trump about this, what would you say . I would say you need to be more understanding of others, not just yourself. Try to put yourself in other peoples shoes. Islam is not the enemy. All the muslim countries are not the enemy. Alienating all these other countries will not help you in the long run. Reporter Mark Strassmann, cbs news, clarkston, georgia. Thats the overnight news for this thursday. For some of you the news continues.

Secretary of state Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security secretary john kelly are in mexico to discuss border issues with mexican officials. For secretary tillerson, its his second foreign trip since becoming americas top diplomat. Tillerson has kept a low profile in his first weeks on the job, and some current and former state Department Officials are raising concerns about staffing cuts and being kept from key meetings. Heres margaret brennan. Reporter while secretary of state Rex Tillerson has largely been silent during his almost three weeks on the job, he hasnt held any news conferences and many of his meetings and phone calls to foreign leaders are not being publicly disclosed. Theyre also havent been any daily briefings, which for decades had been the main channel for the department to get its message out. That means foreign governments are often left describing american policy rather than the u. S. Itself. But perhaps more serious for diplomats, state Department Officials were completely shut out of President Trumps meeting with israeli Prime Minister last week, while mr. Trumps soninlaw, jared kushner, who has no experience in foreign affairs, did sit in. But state Department Officials shut out. Hes meeting with the president today, and he often speaks with him by phone. Officials tell me that tillerson is being careful and deliberate. Hes trying to turn President Trumps rhetoric into policy, while flying under the radar of a high profile administration that is facing no shortage of diplomatic challenges. One of the many global issues secretary tillerson will have to confront is the growing Nuclear Threat from north korea. As the isolated nation continues to test missiles, its also embroiled in a high profile assassination investigation. Malaysian police are looking for two suspects in the killing of kim jongnam. Thats the half brother of north koreas dictator. Adriana diaz is following the case from beijing. Reporter malaysias Inspector General of police said they want to question two suspects. He also said the two female attackers may have been in on the plot. According to police, kim jongnam, suspected female assassins seenbb in this footage, knew the liquid in their hands was poisonous. You see the lady moving away with her hands like this towards the washroom. So she knew very well that it is toxic and she needs to wash her hands. Reporter both women, police say, practiced the attack several times before last mondays assault. And were instructed to wash the liquid off quickly. The women said they were pulling pranks for what they thought was a hidden camera tv show. We strongly believe that they are being trained to do that. So this is not something just shooting movies. Reporter the training likely came from these four men, all north korean, who fled the country the day of the attack. Police believe theyre back in pyongyang. The Inspector General of police announced theyre searching for two more North Koreans in malaysia. One, a high level diplomat at the north Korean Embassy there. The other, an employee for n korea state owned airline. Malaysian authorities have asked north korea to cooperate in their investigation, but so far they havent complied. Meanwhile, kim jongnams body is under tighter security this morning after someone attempted to break into the morgue. No next of kin has come forward yet to claim the body, but authorities have asked north korea for dna samples from family members, including from kim jongun, to identify the body. The female suspects were supposed to be released today, but a judge granted an extension. Even though they havent been charged. As for the investigation, it is continuing to grow, and the North Koreans say the females are innocent and should be freed immediately. The cbs overnight news will be right back. Makewith instant moisture utes from ky ultragel. A video shows a dangerous close call for actor Harrison Ford while he was flying a small plane. Ordinarily, he narrowly missed a passenger jet carrying more than a hundred people as he landed at a california airport. Kris van cleave has the latest. Reporter Harrison Ford is known as an experienced pilot. Hes logged thousands of hours in the cockpit of several aircraft, but that is not how this landing is supposed to go. And that error in the skies is raising real concern. Surveillance video shows fords close call with a boeing 737. Last monday, his bright yellow single engine huskie came in for a landing, flying over flight 1456 with 110 passengers and 6 crew waiting to take off from John Wayne Airport south of los angeles. Air Traffic Control cleared the 74yearold actor to land on runway 20 left. Instead he landed on a parallel taxiway known as charlie. Ford then reportedly asked air Traffic Controllers, was that airliner meant to be underneath me . Reporter atc audio obtained by tmz seems to show ford confused about the type of aircraft he was flying about 20 minutes before landing. I never asked that question until after ive done it. Reporter ford, who is famous hifor as onir aviation feats, has had trouble in the air before. 53178, engine failure. Immediate return. Reporter in 2015, he was critically injured when an engine failure forced him to crash land on a santa monica golf course. And in 1999, the experienced pilot crashed a helicopter while practicing auto rotations. No one was hurt. This is a pretty big mistake. Kind of entering the freeway the wrong way. Reporter retired Airline Captain ross amer says fords tendency to fly without a copilot leaves him vulnerable to mistakes. This could have been really bad. If he had struck that aircraft, it would have been a major disaster. Reporter he says another challenge is ford flies helicopters and airplanes. The faa is now investigating the incident. Ford could face punishment ranging from a warning letter to a fine or even a suspension or loss of his pilots license. His representatives have declined to comment.

Now major drug makers are accused of putting profits before patients. Between 2002 and 2013, the price of insulin more than tripled to more than 700. A federal lawsuit claims three insulin manufacturers are colluding to raise prices. The drug makers deny the allegations. Anna werner has this story. Im sorry to see you again in the hospital. Reporter this cell phone video shows a doctor talking to shauna thompson. Back in the hospital because she couldnt pay for her insulin. One vile of insulin costs how much for you . 178. Reporter it was the fourth time in just over a year that life threatening diabetic coma. Patients come in and say, i cant afford to take it. So im not. Reporter dr. Levitan says its common to hand out free drug company samples of insulin just so patients can stay on their lifesaving medication. Patients are begging for samples because they cant afford the insulin. Reporter not asking, youre saying begging . Begging. Reporter like 74yearold kathleen washington. Some months her insulin runs over 300 a month, more than she can afford. I must pay my mortgage. Reporter if its a choice between the mortgage and the insulin its going to be the mortgage. Reporter Investment Research firm ssr health analyzed insulin list prices from 2012 to 2016 for the three companies that manufacture it, and found prices went up between 99 and 120 . Companies do it because they can. Repor i analysis, ssrs richtdard evans also found a striking pattern. The prices of two insulin drugs rose in lock step, mirroring each other, 12 times between 2008 and 2014. The two companies took price increases within days and the price increases were similar, even identical down to the percentage point. Reporter if you raise your price and i raise my price to the same level, what am i saying to you as a company . Lets keep going. Im not going to fight you. Reporter senator Bernie Sanders is calling for a federal investigation, alleging collusion among the three drug companies. Just coincidentally, it happens that the three major suppliers of insulin seem to be raising their prices at the same exact time, at the same level. So i think you have to be very naive not to believe theres collusion. Reporter the Companies Deny theyve broken any laws. Sanofi told us theres strong eli lily said its aggressively competing on negotiated price. And on the companys website, increasing list prices is designed to offset rebates and price concessions to maintain profitability. And lori riley, with the trade group that represents u. S. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, told us i dont believe theres been collusion by our company. Reporter she points out although the drug companys list prices up, the negotiated price for insulin, have gone up just 2 to 3 overall. She says thats because enter intermediaries negotiate for rebates from drug companies, take a fee, then pass those lower net prices onto Insurance Companies and ultimately cons e consum consumers. The problem, says evans, patients with high deductibles or little or no insurance dont get those discounted prices. In other words, the people who can least afford these increases are the ones who get hit by them . Bit. But people can cant afford to get hit disproportionately. Reporter but riley says when you look at the evidence, the competitive marketplace is working to help keep drug Cost Increases in check. Reporter i listen to that statement and im hearing consumers go, are you kidding me . There is an issue for many patients who face increasing deductibles. If theyre coming to the pharmacy counter paying full list price, while their Insurance Company or pharmacy benefit manager has bought that drug at a 50 discount, that is a problem. Reporter the countrys largest pharmacy benefit manager told us drug makers are the ones raising the prices. But experts tell us theres plenty of blame to go around here in the system. Meanwhile, all three insulin manufacturers say theyve announced new initiatives to make insulin more affordable for patients that need that help. You can go to our website to find more information those initiatives, as well as an email address to contact us about this issue or any other consumer problems you think we should look into. This time of year many drivers will be bumpy while they drive over potholes. Its always nice to see the holes getting fixed. A chicago man is turning road repair into artwork. Lee cowan introduces in a story for sunday morning. Reporter the white at the end of our long winter tunnel is ahead. But so are the calling cards winter leaves behind. The black holes of the asphalt galaxy, that by spring, can swallow a car whole. Thats going to take an extra bag of concrete its so deep. Reporter before the snow and ice made goose bumps out of our roads, we found jim bock doing a little traffic triage. This neighborhood in chicago is full of these urban craters. So many, in fact, that jim decided to start fixing them, himself. I just want to get my work done and get out. Im not interested in having people watch me, really. Reporter especially the watchful gaze of the chicago police. Im always worried about the cops. Im too old to be arrested. Ive got twin boys. Reporter its true his gestures of good will arent technically legal, but no one has bothered him about it, because hes not just filling chicagos potholes, hes turning them into works of art. Its fun to see it reemerge. Reporter like this rendering of a rumpled cheeto bag, made out of marble and glass. All right. This is looking pretty. Its just that unexpected jo reporter his street mosaics have been appearing around the city for years now. Dozens of them dotting the roads. Former potholes that are now frames for flowers, and a few that state the obvious. Like this pothole that proudly screams, its not a pothole anymore. This is probably my popular piece. Reporter probably more people see this than if it was in a gallery somewhere. Thats a good point. Reporter a graphic artist, jims passion for mosaics started on a trip to pompeii, italy, where he realized if art made of glass and marble was durable enough to survive a volcano, surely it could survive modern day traffic. And they do. They hold up remarkably well. Much of the surprise and delight of passersby. Its great. It looks beautiful. I laugh every time i see it. Reporter jim spends eight to ten hours crafting each piece. All in his basement studio. Carefully chipping away at the colored glass. Then setting each tiny piece in place. There are some moments of terror once the because it can all go to hell in a second. Reporter its held together by nothing but cheese cloth and placing it on top of wet concrete is a process thats not entirely forgiving. As it dries, jim peels the cheese cloth back. Its a painstakingly slow and detailed procedure. Especially when you consider the fact that hes doing it all in his knees in the middle of traffic. Ever feel vulnerable out here . Yes, yes, i do. Reporter he just tries not to inhale too much. Theres a hazard. But the most nerveracking part may be leaving his work behind to dry overnight. He watches cars zoom around his cones with almost reckless disregard, but somehow they survive, at least until theyre paved back over. It used to bum me out, but its a price i pay for playing in the street. Reporter thats why he posts his works on instagram. At least there, theres a little social media permanence. He has thousands of followers who wait for him to post his newest installation. After all, there are plenty of potholes that could use an artistic lift. Too many to ever get to in a single lifetime. So the next time you curse one for destroying your cars alignment or blowing a tire, try to look at them the way jim bocker does. Not just as bumps in the road but an opportunity to do something truly inspiring. Ople take action against housing discrimination .
