"the willis report." gerri: tonight we looked as
4:01 am
solutions to obamacare and theproblem is the law has created. especial user's guide to skyrocket a -- rocky premiums implants they've told they could keep you have hrd the litany of problems but tonight ou panel of experts breaks down real strategy is in real solutions and answers. douglas told secant is here chris jacobs center for policy health studies at george pati. i was on the we site. >> you actually got through? >> of of pages still says you can keep your insurance policy if you want to. >> rita l. that's not true of t president just apologize about that and the fact is 8 million americans is ts year will be notified their policies are canceled.
4:02 am
that is sent to right but they're all are treated as a and exemptions that congress pass when they would ram this through so there is help. gerri: for americs to have insurance coverage you can keep it. duquesne not to. down, one of the fate this i have been talking about is the kaer family foundation is known as an expert and they have a calculator on there website you could calculate the subsidies you are eligible for. they use this on the federal government web site you cannot get on there. [laughter] >> they are experts it is a good-faith effort to give help but the bottom line is we will have winners and losers the letters wil go to kaisefamily foundation a juicy it can break it down to something reasonable also
4:03 am
it is not a solution for what had to present a at. the xt question is to reduce the for your doctor? gerri: the problems go on and off but people tonight know that mom o dad or somebody inthe family that was just canceled a and what can they get on the federal government web site? if you are 62 year-old woman making a $32,000 per year. here is what you get from the obamacare web site at a premiumf $7,200 a subsidy of 4400 so you pay 3,000 out of pocket. that is6,300 that is a fair amount of moneys be back f a lot of people premiums have gone up maybe there'll be paying $2,000
4:04 am
with $4,000 deductible now they pay 3,000 with $6,300 deduible because obamacare is forcing insurance companies toover other services the have to pay more. >> than a 62 year-old woman is getting maternity services. >> but she still has to pay for it if she doesn't. gerri: private exchanges. private insurance exchanges, is a possible this is dcer? >> it already is. self insurance were you are not under the heavy hand of obamacare if you are signed up with self insurance a lot of times workers don'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
4:05 am
for only 50 percent of small business so they should look at this it is more e efficient and less expensive and allows you to tailor the coverage. gerri: what are your criticisms? >> if you are a self -- a small firm's health insurer you take on all the risk if one gets very ill you still have a problem. it is not a panacea but a situation they have been cahow forced into trying to find any shelter. >> governor? >> there is an option if you are a small business you don't want to assum the risk of somebody gets a serious illness you have to pay 200,000 is a you can get insurance anything above 5,0 or 10,000 you are covered with a private insurerhat th employer pays for.
4:06 am
you could limit their risk estimate that's a good point but the important to peace is it is tailored it is what obamacare does not let you tailor it to your circumstances the biggt differce between private republican approach. gerri: people want to see private sector solutions they don't want to be with the government program. what else is emerging? >> private ehanges are out there and health insurae isn option of. pieces like clinics that have ready access to care. but to put the lipstick on the big board make lemonade out of beloved choose the analogy. >> on how they may not be available in would be
4:07 am
difficult to get doctors and was searching for a solution because i hear from people from medicare to say i am reallyorried will lose my doctor over time that they will work with people who are really wealthy. i think these people should see what their plans are to major's. >> if they can get a doctor to enter the phone. middle-class it is hard to do. just as an example 82% a and kentucky signed up for medicaid there might not be enough doctors. gerri: what can we do about that problem of? >> if you have private markets we offer by a having a higherer wages and attracting people died here is the low reimbursement rates to medicaid to save with the obamaca exchange. they are the medicaid of the future that is not a solution. gerri: out it is on view.
4:08 am
have to get your own coverage, nd a doctor with e hospital they allow you to use, people say how can i look out for myself? i have spent jockeyed of what still some weeks that does dna testing to look to see what should i be werke to protect myself? >> we will see more personalized madison because of the harnessing of the human genome to betailored you see that with t problem obamacare trs to put the one size fits all solution. >> nouestion. one of the sad alternatives is to be a small business with fewer than 30 workers why we're not seeing him plugging gro part-time
4:09 am
workers held at 29 you are out from obamacare. there has to be a better way >> hope we can find that. gerri: you are sticking around as the solutions continue and we will talk about the politics surrounding the law and what washington can do now. in the meantime go to gerri willis.com. willis.com. individual solutions

and from the center of health policy studies thank governor paki is that in good taste? ltd. is pathetic he is laughing at a problem that millions of americans have bid 10 million more will have. it doesn't just have colbert problems it is flawed. it will not work they can try to tax parts of itut ultimately they have to take a look amir to say w screwed up we finally read it we have to go back to the drawing board. gerri: he apologized last night. >> i am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from the. >> that is as close to an apology will ever get from this president. he is not noted for his mosty and i really think
4:14 am
this will come back to haunt him. it a forceful way he did promise people he keep their plan or keep their doctor. it is notrue but the governor is right that is not the only problem the more you dig the more problems you will find that ishe taliban problem. gerri: now at the back and read the website tries to communicate with providers. >> it is interesting obamacare doesn't let you keep your health coverage it does cover kirch feelings? said he is sorry if you're hurt the league's but not for making the promises. >> hve a website still promises you could keep your coverage but they cannot fix the whole page of thweb site?

4:18 am
why did you go ahead? the web site may be fixed but at is a lasting judgment cal. gerri: as a you say not only didhey know a bunch of people would lose their verage but they also do there was security problems? >> the ainistration and said th'd never did end to end testing and last week it seemed fine in this would never have the baby because the people ascii for her resignation as she does not workor them so she doesn't care but the people the to this website is secure before they pert -- but if the social security nbers to back the chinese will go more of th americans they have the nsa. i guarantee there is a little phial of everybody.
4:19 am

gerri: "users guide to obamacare" continues tonight with the in depth look at the massive cost of this law that small businesses even the system itself could the cost craig the whole system down? us bring back our guest. it introduced the floor from the "wall street journal." about me with this. the price tag on eight we were originally told in 2013 over tedears is 1.8 trilli how does that have happened? why is there such a big boost? >> douglas is the one who bridges the numbers i think it is voodoo. we have talked for weeks
4:24 am
about the fact t promise is broken and if you want your health care you could keep it but here is the bigger lie the idea this will pay for itself and will not blow a hole in the deficit and reeler the opposite. people are not citing up to suidize but you can see a massive cost. >> one of the bgest cost of the detrimental impact is at of the reasons you see the price tag go up. a lot of people who are unemployed logger than anyone projected and obamacare raises the price tag. if we get past the starter problems there is no chance
4:25 am
it will add up but the premiums are too high and dead in that end we d't get much of a program. the store famine. nothing in between. gerri: and i thin the real fear is the program goes top-seeded billions of people inside that said we have a huge tap have the president said yesterday that he wants to put even more subsidy money on 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 lly implemented the commercial budget office says 2023 it ll cost $250 billion for
4:26 am
the subsidies. that is four or five times what he promised not county if you kids get a waiver or if they ve to subsidized or four employers decide to drop coverage it is a lowball estimate. gerri: and so a big announcement from kathleen sebelius earlier today talking about adding mental-hlth. [laughter] so she says there should be parity betweenarriage of mental-health issues and physical ailments. if i break my arm on sixth avenue i will see a docto who wwll fix ann it is over. therapy is once a week over years. how do you make them the same? the cost is different.

[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 medicaid services do. >> that is between the metal
4:28 am
kolff services with aack of access. said it there are some elements like diabetes better chronicler better similar to a mental health so they try to establish parity but t 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 vie. gerri: last word what is the biggest problem? >> the benefits a of that there are inctives to put 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 capitol

finding answers to coping with obamace i not easy on a personal level a can be intimidating. or scary for the 5 million people who have had their health insurance canceled but the risks our bigger than back getting affordable care you can have confidence in it is more difficult for ever but a. will your doctor be around next year? the year after that? what about your hospital? will your insurer paid for you to go there or had chosen at cheaper facility? the burden of responsibility is shifting to you. you have to make sure you get the carthey you need and deserve. under obamacare is shifty to protect itself that leaves you on your own. we have been talking about solutions than one shortcut or one solution that i thought that may interest
