9:02 pm
they're all are treateds and exptions that congress pass when they would ram this through so there is help. gerri: for americans to have insurance coverage you can keep it. duquesne not to. down, one of the fate this i have been talki about is the kaiser family foundation is known as an expert and they hav aalculator on there website you could calculate the subsidies you are eligible for. they use this on the fderal government web site you caot get on there. [laughter] >> they are experts it is a good-faith effort to give help but the bottom line we will have winners and sers the lettersill go to kaiser family foundation a juicy it can break it down
9:03 pm
to something reasonable also it is t a solution f what had to present a at. the next question is t reduce the for your doctor? gerri: the problems go on and off but people night know that mom or d or somebody in the family that was just canceled a an what can they get on the fedel governnt web site? if you are 62 year-old woman king a $32,000 per year. here is what you get from the obamacare web site at a premium of $7,200 a subsidy of 44 so you pay 3,000 out of pocket. that is $6,300 that is a ir amount of mone be back for a l of people premiums have gone up maybe there'll be paying $2,000
9:04 pm
with $4,000 deductible now they pay 3,000 with $6,300 deduductible because obamacare is forcing insurance companies to cover other services they have to pay more. >> than a 62ye-old woman is getting maternity services. >> but she still has to pay r it if she doesn't. rri: private exchaes. private insurance exchanges, is a possible this is a dancer? >> it already is. self insance were you are not under the heavy handf obamacare if you are signe up with self insurance a lot of times workerson't even know. you have no rules or penalties of our taxes of obamacare but for small businesses to join 60% of large business and 80 percent of the unions get it through a self insurance
9:05 pm
for only 50 percent of small business so they should ok at this it is more e efcienand less expenve and allows you to tailor the coverage. gerri: what are yr iticisms? >> if you are a self -- a small firm's health insurer you ke on allhe risk if one gets very ill youtill have a problem. it is not a panacea but a situation they have en cahow forced into trying to find any shelter. >> governor? >> there is an option if you are a small business you don't want to assume the risk of somebody gets a serious illness you have to pay 200,000 is a you can get insurance anything above 5,000 or ,000 you are covered wh a private insurer that the employer pays for.
9:06 pm
you could limit their risk estimate that's a good point but the important to peace is it is tailored it is what obamacareoes not let you tailor it to your circumstances the biggest difference between private republican approach. gerri: peop want to see private sector solutions they don't want to be with the government program. what ee is emerging? >> private exchanges are out there and health insurance is an option of. pieces like clinics that have ready access to care. but to put the lipstick on the big board make lemonad out of beloved choose t anogy. >> on how they may not be available in would be
9:07 pm
difficult to get doctors and was searchingor a solution because i hear from people from medicare to say i am really worried wil lose my doctor over time that they will work with people who are really wealthy. i think these people should see whatheir plans are to major's. >> if they can get a doctor to enter the phone. middle-class it is hard to do. just aan example 82% a and ucky signed up for medicaid there might not be enough doctors. gerri: what can we do about that pblem of? >> if you have private markets we offer by a having a higher wages and attracting peopl died here is the low reimbursement rates to medicaid to save with the obamacare exchange. they are the medicaid of the future that is not a solution. gerri: out it is on view.
9:08 pm
have to get your own coverage, find a doctor with the hospital they allow you to use,eople say how can i look out for mysel i have spent jockeyed of what still some weeks that does dna teing to look to see what should i be werke to protect melf? >> we will see more personalized madison because of the harnessing of the human genome to be tailored you see that with the problem is obamare tries tout the one size fits all sotion. >> no question. one of the sad altnatives is to be a small busiss with fewer tn 30 workers why we're not seng him plugging grow part-time

9:24 pm
we have talked for weeks about the fact the promis is broken and ifou want your health care you could keep it but here is the bigger lie the idea this will pay for itself and will noblow a hole in the deficit and reeler the opposite. people are not citing up subsidize but you can see a masse cost. >> one of the biggest cst of the detrimental impact is what of the reasons you see the price tag go up. a lot of people who are unemployed logger than anyone projected and obamare raises the price tag. if we get past the srter problems there is no chance
9:25 pm
it will add but the premiums are too high and dead in tt end we don't t much of a program. the store famine nothing in between. gerri: and i think the real fear is the program goes top-seeded billions of people inside that said we have a huge ta have the president said yesterday that he wants to put eve more sbsidy moneyon the table. >> exactly. in addition to promise a you can keep your plan but did in 2008 president or a candidate obama said it would cost 50 or 60 million per year when fully implemented the commercial budget office says 2023 it will cost $250 billion for
9:26 pm
the subsidies. that is fourr five tis what he promised not county if you kids get a waiver or if they have to subsidiz or four employers decide to drop coverage it is a lowball estimate. rri: and so a b announcement from kathleen sebelius earlier today talking about adding ment-health.

[laughter] gerri: tell me something intelligent about the mental health benefit i understand but psychiatrists do not work to work for this kind of money that medicare and medica services do.
9:28 pm
>>hat is betwee the meta kolff services with a lack of access. said it the are some elements like diabetes better chronicler better similar to aental health so they try t establish parity but the key point is why do we add more benefits to the one size fits all package? that is what is wrong with this from the insurance point of view. gerri: last wor what is the biggest problem? >> the benefits a of that there are incentives to t more people in the exchange's so he put them with a government benefit kirk combined with the problems of medicare/medicaid social security is a recipe for disaster. gerri: you were on capol
