young people are healthier, so it keeps costs down for the rest of us. let's bring in elizabeth cohen. we know the numbers. how we doing? >> well that 24% number, chris, that is not what people were hoping for. they were hoping that 40% of the enrollees would be young. this is something that's really crucial. if you have too many older people, your costs are going to go up, up, up and insurance companies they were essentially told to expect around 40%. and so they set their premiums accordingly. now insurance companies might say, hold on a minute. you didn't give us as many young people as you said you would. that means the following year, we might have to hike those premiums up. >> isn't that convenient that the insurance companies who stud actuarial tables the way i struggle with shirt-tie combinations are saying to the government, we are depending on you for the numbers. didn't they always anticipate that young people would sign up slowly and last because of their need for insurance and just general tendencies? >> yes, they absolutely did. if you look at what happened in massachusetts. we are told that there, young people signed up way towards the end. and the open enrollment period has not ended. it is possible between now and the end of march we'll have lots of young people come in, absolutely that's possible. if that happens, that's great. if it doesn't happen, it really is a problem for the insurance companies. i don't mean to say, the poor little insurance companies. i can be as cynical as the next person about insurance companies. but i will say that this is a real problem. they were told to expect a certain personal. they set prices accordingly. if it stays at 25%, that is going to be a real economic issue. >> also has affix, though. they can raise their prices. we do have a big wait and see factor here. you have to keep the emotions on hold. >> if you raise prices, you might make it unaffordable for people. >> that's true. that's why there's more to be seen here. we got to let the wheels turn a little bit here. appreciate the perspective this morning. all right. take a listen to this. >> we're going to have to start looking at why we have so little oversight of these tank farms that carry lethal hazardous chemicals that are just left to rot and deteriorate until we have a disaster. >> that dangerous chemical spill in west virginia has now drawn the ire of erin brock vich. authorities are lifting the do not use order by zones hoping to have the taps flowing again soon for everyone. we are live in charleston with much more on this. soon definitely cannot come soon enough since it has been days for all of those residents. >> reporter: 75,000 people have now been given that long awaited word that they can turn on their faucets and let their water run. but that means 225,000 people are still waiting for the green light. they've been without water since that chemical leak was detected back on thursday. federal investigators have now arrived on scene. the chemical safety board says it will also delve into any safety data concerning the chemical itself that can be chabl and they will look into the plant's record of inspection. over the weekend the state's department of environmental protection says the plant was last inspected back in 1991. the dep now says its records indicate that an inspector returned to the plant in 2010 and found that nothing was wrong. in 2012, they were asked to see if the plant required any permits. they decided that was not the case. the tank that has caused so much hardship now was again not inspected. >> something clearly went wrong in this one and they continue to investigate. let's turn to john berman now. >> happening today in washington, the senate you dish yar committee will hear from president obama's panel advising him on changes to the nsa. suggestions including not collecting phone records of americans. president obama will outline his reform proposals to the public on friday. >> new developments on back and forth between the white house and robert gates, the former defense secretary. president obama speaking out for the first time on criticism from gates. the president took the high road calling gates an outstanding cabinet member and a good friend. he said, they ultimately got afghanistan right. >> one death is reported between egypt security forces. it comes as egyptians head to the polls on a draft constitution. this is intended to place the one passed just months before murcy was removed by the military. they've called for a boycott just before the polls opened, a bomb went off near a courtroom in cairo. first ex-pulls of an american journalist living in russia. former financial times correspondent david -- for radio free europe. he's also written three nonfiction books about russia. they said no explanation was given for satter's education pulgs. and then there's this. the worm back on u.s. soil this morning. dennis rodman arrived in newark last night at the airport there. the former nba star apologized again for what's going on in north korea, but said he did nothing wrong by organizing a basketball game in pyongyan. this followed another apology for his outburst right here on "new day." we heard from kenny anderson last night saying they really regret the fact they did not do their homework before they went. >> part their fault, part something else. all the i tension on the -- attention on the matter was okay if only to give attention token net bae. unless i'm wrong, and that happens a lot, didn't you say it was going to be cold? did we know it was going to be nicer today in. >> i said colder a little bit each day. we're going to have to do playback for you. pretty much anywhere on the east coast, we're actually looking at a low that's formed. and slowly it's taking its time, it's going to be cruising up the coastline. so then tomorrow, yes, you get a break. and then you have another cold front. cold front after cold front. each one cooling you down. you hear that cuomo? each one cooling you down. and you know, we're actually talking about heavier amounts of snow possible right around wisconsin, especially green bay today. near blizzard conditions for them. other than that, all three of these systems so mild. not really a huge story. just enough. a little bit of a chill kind of moving in. if you're around the dakotas, the core of the jet stream, it's going to be right there today. so very strong winds are expected in that region. it's also the region, blizzard conditions around wisconsin. why do you care on the east coast? once that cold air filters in, it will eventually make its way to the east. we'll see the temperatures dive back down to the 30s. all the way to the west coast, seems like the weather is calmer. unfortunately, santa anna winds are out there. extreme critical fire danger expected over the next several days. definitely a lot of danger out west. >> so sleet is coming? is that what you're saying? hate being wrong. coming up on "new day," murder in a movie theater. a father is texting his young daughter. another movy goeer demands he put away his cell phone. we're going to hear from the people inside the theater. how could two seasoned airline pilots land at the wrong airport in missouri. we'll go inside a flight simulator to see just how easy it is to miss the mark. in my world, wall isn't a street. return on investment isn't the only return i'm looking forward to. and my parachute definitely isn't golden.
