i mean, california, colorado, ohio, oregon or some of those states that do not have functioning medical advisory boards. but, for example, they will routinely -- the two issues that medical advisory boards typically deal with are the policy issues on helping to set state policies regarding licensing, and then also review of individual cases. so some of these states, for example, for policy issues when they come up to having policy, a policy needing to be addressed or they're reviewing their guidelines and such, they will call in specialists to help with that. they may have physicians on staff that help with that and help with decisions and all. so they do have other ways of dealing with that. and the same thing for reviewing individual cases. some of the states may, you know, rely heavily on the drivers' own physician but also they may have their own physicians on staff or someone they can refer to. so i just don't want to leave the impression that the states without the medical advisory boards aren't dealing with the issue at all because most of them have found some way to handle it. >

you mentioned california. a lot of states are having to lay off workers because they have balanced budget requirements. with this recession, they have been hit particularly hard and are finding ways to balance their state budget. host: next phone call from pennsylvania. mark. are you from pittsburg? sorry about that, go ahead. caller: i was looking at your map. we still have the biggest steel mills, coal mines in the area. they are gone now. host: mike schneider? >> if you take a city like pittsburgh, it has undergone a transformation in the past decade. it is no longer rely on steel. it is heavy in research, health care, universities, and medicine. it is true, those steel and manufacturing jobs may not be as many as there were two decades ago, but it has been replaced by jobs that require higher educated workers who have transformed the economy. host: another skeptic on twitter -- objective, mike schneider? >> no, we get our data from the bureau of labor statistics. we get our housing data from realty track.

what happens, for example, if california goes bankrupt? if i could not pay my bills, the creditors would line up to take my car, my house. what happens when a large state goes bankrupt? guest: it is a good question. the immediate effect is that government will have trouble borrowing in the future and will have to pay a much higher interest-rate for borrowing. i think it would undermine the confidence that allies have in that country, if it were the united states, which is a superpower in the world looked to for support, stability in times of crisis. it would have a terrible, detrimental impact to our credit rating, it could have a ripple effect throughout our markets. there are all kinds of consequences for an established country, government, welshing on its agreement to pay its borrowers. we have seen that, not in a large scale, but in a medium- sized scale from what we saw in europe last summer. greece, spain, and other countries were having problems with runaway spending, oversized debt, difficulty in paying their bills and creditors. t
