Donald trump plans to meet saturday with mitt romney on sunday according to nbc to discuss the position of secretary of state. Think back to the republican primary and it would seem strange bedfellows. Then romney said trump would represent all that is dangerous to the heart and america. Trump called romney a loser.

Colorados wide open spaces attract some people who want to live off the grid and in park 9news reporter Brandon Rittiman and photojournalist byron reed shows a fight over how people can live on their own land. S there land. Reporter steve bedigeon lives in a hole in the ground 9,000 feet above sea level. Hes an off gridder living his American Dream and he knows his doesnt match yours. I live an idyllic life up here, not in the eyes of most. Reporter some will look at this and think lived this way. How horrible. Look at his white pants are brown. Reporter steve literally lives dirt cheap eating little more than potatoes. He rejects societys view of a normal productive life. Im not a slob. Im not uncultured. Im just not a slave to material things and i dont have to maintain them. Reporter steve has had this 6acre parcel in south park for 40 years. Home sweet home. This exposed valley till a year and a half ago when steve moved in and started building what he calls his Sculpture Garden named sergeant mikes for his dad who fought as a marine. It started out because my dad was a real flag lover. Reporter this is why everyone around here calls him the flag man. Right now when i let this go, theres a big smile on my fathers face. Reporter he lets his flags get tattered and torn. To him thats a symbol of how people like his dad earned scars throughout flag right on the edge of a busy highway and they complained to the county. Flags aside what the county sees is a 6acre trash heap. Thats a problem because steves 6 acres are zoned residential bordered by other residential plots. Here the county has a ban on rubbish and on permanent camping. Zoning exists for a reason. Its to insure compatibility. Reporter park county Development Director sheila theyve seen hundreds of people recently start camping on cheap plots meant for people who build Single Family homes. I would say its one of the toughest issues that weve dealt with just i mean theres so much controversy and the county really wanted to do the right thing for everybody, but its sometimes impossible to do that obviously. Reporter after a long debate the county passed tougher regulations this year against camping on Residential Land to protect the people building homes up to campers warning them they need to comply with zoning rules or risk being forced off. Some are cooperating. Were working with them to try to figure out how we can help them comply. Reporter steve has no plans to comply. You can take my corpse from sergeant mikes, but you will not take my freedom from me. Reporter hes fighting a civil lawsuit from the county over the rubbish rule. If the county wins, it may do what its done before, foreclose on steves land and up. Even if steve did clean up, the county would enforce its camping ban. They point out campers dont have proper sewage or septic systems. Its going into the water. Reporter steve doesnt consider his waste could do much harm considering the cow piles on all the neighboring ranches. He owns this land and its where he wants to die. I have two untreated cancer issues. Reporter im sorry. Dont be. Its not a deal big deal. Reporter what is a big deal to steve is keeping his little scrap of heaven off the grid in south park. Freedom you cant take it from me reporter with photojournalist byron reed, Brandon Rittiman, 9news. Steve has until monday to file his response in park county court. The county will ask the judge to rule against him. Steve tells us hell represent hoping someone will help them identify the person who set a man on fire earlier this month. Investigators arent offering many details other than the attack happened november 6th near east 58th avenue and washington street. They released these images. The suspect was seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt with a cross fit reebok logo. The victim has serious injuries. Anyone with information is asked to call crime stoppers. The side effects of this next story include the ability to better understand whats going on with drug prices as we look into why 100 drugs have increased in price in four years, 9wants to know investigator Chris Vanderveen shows us why it might not be fair to blame only the Drug Companies for the cost to fill your next prescription. Frustrating. You cant explain that. Reporter pharmaceutical companies boost prices so quickly. Overnight in some cases. Reporter even pharmacists you just have to sometime say somebody is getting rich and it aint us. Reporter but while most of us patients look toward the pharmaceutical companies, people like robert valek look elsewhere. Its called a pharmacy benefits management company. Reporter can you have a discussion about drug costs in 2016 without talking about pbms. Not fully, you pbms . Not fully, you cant. Reporter wedged in between the Drug Companies and the pbm. Stick with me because not only are they critical in this discussion, theyre also massive processing nearly 4 billion prescriptions every year in the united states. Last year the two largest pbms in the country, express scripts and care mark reported combined revenues of a quarter of a trillion dollars. And they did so quietly. We want transparency for patients and payors. We just dont want it for our competitors. Seems legit, right . Critics say that is what gives them an unfair advantage. Pbms tell us theyre saving you money, but as our list of 100 drugs shows, the prices of drugs still keep going up. This is all done in a way thats so hidden that they dont have to report this money to practically anyone. Reporter dr. David belk runs the Consumer Watchdog Group the true cost on secrecy. Very, very easy in a system thats so secret tiff and so few prices are re secretive and so few prices are revealed to anyone. Reporter what if there was a lawsuit that opened up the process a little, a lawsuit like the one 9wants to know found between insurance giant anthem and its pbm express scripts and what if that lawsuit suggested anthem believes its customers are paying 3 billion more than the competitive benchmark rate told us this . The rates they have are what they negotiated in that initial contract. Reporter thats right. As far as express scripts is concerned, if anthems customers are paying more, its anthems fault. Would they have liked the contract to be different . Obviously probably, so but the contract is what it is. Reporter we went online and used express scripts own website to look at what some anthem patients with high deductible plans might pay and compared those numbers with what patients using care we found anthems patients appear to pay more for a number of drugs on our list like latuda, antipsychotic, a thyroid medicine. When we asked for additional comments, express scripts said our numbers might not take into account variables, for example, premiums and deductibles the anthem customer might be paying less up front. Behind the curtain like the wizard of oz. Reporter Donna Marshall said we found 1 small piece of a massive and confusing system, a system in which a number of participants in essence take a little off the top. Theres a lot of levers and a lot of moving parts. Reporter until theres more transparency in the entire system she said we simply cannot know who is getting the best deal. Valek says bottom lines patients need to ask pharmacists and of pbms. Most people dont know pbms exist, nor are they front of mind of them even if they know they exist. Reporter hes tired, tired of the price increases and tired of having to explain the inexplicable to his growing list of frustrated customers. Are you losing faith that this will change . I would stay ive lost faith that its going to change. Reporter heres the thing. You. This has been a lot to take in without the week. We started the week with the basic health insurance, this with the pbms, much more complicated stuff. There have been efforts both local and national to force pbms to become more transparent with how much theyre taking off the top. So far nothing seems to stick. If youve missed any part of our side effect series, tomorrow morning at 8 a. M. On channel 20 we will replay all of it throughout that entire hour, a lot of information to come in, but hopefully its coalesce around the topic. It speaks to the reason why consumers and voters have had such a tough time convincing regulators and legislators to change this because it takes a whole week to try to get a handle on it explaining it. Heres the problem, kyle. We could go on a whole month its that complicated and its difficult for patients to educate themselves, but we have to start educating ourselves and knowing what our insurance plans are and what questions to thanks, chris. Back to the snow and cold in a moment. Were watching Road Conditions and well check back with kathy to see about the snow totals and the warmup for the weekend. The nfl players going to mexico step are looking at a whole new city are looking at a whole new set of rules. Reporter hes been one of drivers should assume everything that looks wet could be ice tonight and into the morning. I25 looks shiny and slick in denver. Allow extra time. In addition to slick spots, drivers will be at lower speeds. Youll need to leave more distance between you and the car in front. Good tip.

It is out of theyre, fast moving here, mast moving storms from north fast moving storms from north platte to rapid city, minneapolis. The wind from this storm will create blizzard conditions off to the north and east of colorado. Were on the backside of this system. All these advisories will cancel out overnight and we do not anticipate difficult travel in the high country tomorrow like we saw on i70 today. Look at this giant storm winding its wa midwest and look west. Theres another storm out there im tracking for next week and next week is a really busy holiday week. Well keep an eye on that 1. We say goodbye to todays snowmaker. The cold air follows it through. High pressure sets up and then theres that California Storm late in the weekend, early next week.

Speaking of a storm, a Beautiful Day in telluride with that glorious snowfall and the snow amounts coming from eldora are terrific as well. Sports is next. Well take a quick break and be monday night the nfl moves to new mexico. Players are being given strict road trip rules. In capital letters the team memo said do not leave the hotel. It ordered players to leave expensive jewelry at home and not to leave large sums of money. Another section said dont drink bottled water and avoid ice and eat all meals with the team no, room service. That particular concern is because the dishes with meat this seasons late snow wont delay most skiers, but the pros have to wait to compete. The giant slalom races were scheduled december 2nd through the 4th, but theres not enough time to get the 8,600foot long course ready. Beaver creek is still scheduled to open to us mere mortals next wednesday. We just had snow in denver, but areas around pueblo had sleet, graupel and snow. They have a predicted low of 22 tonight. The ski resorts have waited for snow way too long and had reason to celebrate when finally got here. At Loveland Ski Area about 67 from colorados sports leader heres rod mackey.
