government getting its way. that is ever show. see you next week. good night. here comes "the willis report." >> hello everybody i and gerri willis. tonight on "the willis report." glitches hit obamacare right before the deadline how impact you? >> is a time to fire your financial advisor? we would give you the right way to give them the boot you had your degree now how do land the gene -- the dream job? we are watching out for you tonight. the "willis report." of. gerri: we have a lot to get

to the first hour final installment of the week-long series as a user's guide to education. if you graduated now what? finding a job is not easy prospect. reinvested eating what it takes to stand out from the crowd he now have to have the extra something to get hired we will talk about that we'll also show you not the high-tech way all of that is coming in shortly. obamacare hitting another snag this time with insurance pricing. the wall street journal reports a software glitch in the exchange's causing the prices to be miscalculated. adding insult to injury that chuck cater was to happen months ago but only started this week.

thank you for coming on the show so many things have gone wrong with the implementation? can this be fixed in the next couple weeks? >>. >> i don't know because it is more than a technology problem. the basic calculations you have to wonder how deep the problem runs. one of the challenges the insurance companies have is to price insurance independent of an individual risk it is almost unheard of in the insurance industry. gerri: the insurance companies themselves didn't

know what time to expect that no one who will sign up for how much there on the hoped-for -- the hook. is less signed into law march 2010 they had to and have years what's going on? another project falling apart? >> initially the estimated cost for the technology and the pieces needed to come together we're underestimated. second, the government has taken on more responsibility for setting up the marketplace and what they originally anticipated because many states opted not to know they also have to accept the responsibility for employers as we have seen that will decide not to

provide benefits in have consumers go to the exchange's so it is unintended consequences surrounding the problem and the magnitude that will be a challenge. gerri: it is just like playing dominoes i was just giving the government a hard time but even the private exchanges and the state is having trouble with this it is a difficult hurdle and you have to wonder if obamacare can even be implemented certainly not october? they want to have them open in october but will it work? looking at the implementation for the rollout months and months or possibly even years as this starts to slowly start working. >> the biggest dependency is if they get the funding that

they need. based on the vote today but nonetheless they don't get the necessary funding they will have major challenges. even if the implementation goes along looking at the latest poll in the terms of people that are still skeptical or don't know enough about obamacare to know if it will help them immelt they needed to put into communication is a drop in the bucket and they recognize that not enough has been done. gerri: absolutely true people don't understand if they are eligible they think it has been repealed in some cases. going to a different topic of the cleveland clinic they now say they slimmed down to change adair doing in this is the institution that is very well regarded in the

president himself has talked about how important the cleveland clinic is not impacted by obamacare. >> the cleveland clinic functions was to paradigms' it provides services to people all in terms of taking care of patients but it is also a big employer. looking at the changes operationally it is consistent with what mjor employers are saying across the country they cannot afford the burden of what will happen to provide benefits come impacting profitability and operational cost the impact of impending retirees. as an employer they have the same issue as any employer when they talk about if it is efficient with how they prop -- provide care to consumers the jury is still out one of the nuances of the affordable care act will

enable the cleveland clinic to stay profitable to take on the sick individuals and still maintain the level of standard. it is an excellent institution but at the end of the day there are not enough resources to do everything for everyone every time they need it. gerri: also how the president talks about it in the past to big difference today in what he said two years ago. >> part of what we want to do is free doctors, doctors, patients, hospitals to make decisions based on what is best for patient care that is the whole idea behind nato and the cleveland clinic. i'll be visiting your home town tomorrow to show why their system works so well.

gerri: but it is being cut -- being forced to cut $330 million from its budget here is the president holding of the cleveland clinic to say we have a heck of a time. >>:pat is looking at obamacare through a very narrow lens and a bigger impact whether the mayo cnic or cleveland clinic will be empowered to measure quality of care, to do this thing is that they need to. as a doctor there is a fundamental challenge they try to get them to implement electronic medical records to pull the data out to understand about the metrics of quality of care there is a lot of resistance in the long way to go with the adoption and success of the

medical community. in the next couple of months there is another hurdle in terms of getting data out to engage consumers. the doctors don't have access to the information to get people to be compliant or to earn the benefits or rewards so it is a benchmark almost impossible reach. gerri: we have so far to go you think that is a big problem? think you for coming on to the show tonight have a great weekend. not the only problem today but house republicans get their way there won't be money to implement obamacare passing a bill to defund the

signature block keeping it up non funded through december in one of the people who voted yes from north carolina, from the great state might i add, good to talk to you. you have voted down obamacare about 40 times? >> that is right. gerri: you seem to be banging your head on a wall. i don't like obamacare but what is the point to defund yet again? >> it is clear on a weekly basis how destructive this bill has been already. we have reports this week home depot, a walgreen's and not hiring full-time the 240,000 full-time jobs were eliminated it is having a

tremendous devastating effect. gerri: but with walgreen's they're putting the employees into the private exchange not covering them the old-fashioned way which is a 40 year-old private system set up by employers. critics including karl rove say at this point that will alienate the americans or independence to make goat for the republican party down the road. >> max baucus said it is a train wreck the unions say it is nothing that they want it is time the democrats come clean and they have the opportunity to vote with the continuing resolution i'd like to news seek if mary will stay in the vienna to

tell the people where they really stand. gerri: they haven't yet so i'm not sure another vote will do it. you clearly have the people behind you when asked which would be better to go back to the 2009 system or the leave the new one overwhelmingly people said go back. this is not working you cannot keep your doctor or your program that cost will go up and just this week it will only cover half of the people. they told us it would cover 22 million but now it covers half of that now here we are with this price tag in all likelihood you will not be successful what will be the end game of obamacare? >> the end game we believe

al people ought to come to terms with reality looking at the exchange's the software is not ready they're not ready to implement. it is a train wreck as the more time goes along the more evidence is there it is a failed effort the be well intended but in its objective the cbo says 600 billion people now were promised they could keep their plan. we are up against a heartbreak i have to let you go. think you for explaining your point of view. thank you so much. we will show you the best way to fire your financial advisor what to look for
