sarah palin talks exclusively with chris wallace about the latest round of obama care troubles. and the reaction to harry reid going nuclear this week. thanks for watching. hello, everyone, i'm kelly wright. welcome to a brand-new hour of america's news headquarters. >> hi, everybody, i'm jamie colby. topping this hour for you, secretary of state john kerry arriving in geneva for a new round of talks about iran's nuclear program. as other top diplomats involved in the negotiations suggest they are closer than ever to striking a deal. we'll have a live report on that. >> also, panic at los angeles international airport. coming up, new details behind the incident that led to this very scary scene at l.a.x. >> plus, she was a 12-year-old

girl allegedly bullied to death by two classmates. now, hear how the family of rebecca is planning to fight back after the two girls accused in the case are cleared of any wrongdoing. first, the latest on a deadly storm system slamming the southwest. four people killed so far. as winter storm warnings are now in effect from southern california to texas. you're looking at the scene in flagstaff, arizona, right now. that steam is moving eastward which could mean big trouble for millions of americans traveling for thanksgiving. janice dean is live in the fox news weather center with more about this. what's it look like? >> it is a mess, and it's going to continue to be that way over the neck coupxt couple of days. we have lake-effect snow. and then our big system ahead of that, moisture streaming into parts of texas.

the risk for freezing rain and/or sleet around the dallas area tomorrow. this is the parent storm here, the one that is bringing heavy rain and heavy snow across the four corners region. in some areas, we could get over two feet of snow. and look at the forecast temperatures and radar as we head into the next 12 to 24 hours. dropping into the 20s for santa fe. 29 for san angelo. it will be very dangerous, if not impossible, to travel on the roadways tomorrow. and this system is going to continue to move eastward and bring us the potential for a coastal event on the busiest travel day of the the year. this low moves across the southeast on tuesday and starts to move offshore wednesday. we're going to see a mixture of rain and wind and snow across the northeast wednesday into thursday. again, hampering travel for millions of people. this is going to be a top story

as we head through the next couple of days. and the temperatures are going to be frigid. dangerously cold across the upper midwest and the great lakes. it's going to sink southward into parts of the south and into the mid-atlantic. a lot of things to cover as we get into the weekend. and of course into the busiest travel day of the year. jamie and kelly, this is going to be a top weather story. folk are going to be trying to get a lot of places for thanksgiving. >> we thank you for the fair warning. that's going to affect millions of people. janice dean, thank you. >> i want to tell you about a pair of bizarre incidents that happened at two major u.s. airports. first, there was a car accident and reports of a gunman that led to panic and confusion at l.a.x. yesterday. while a bomb threat aboard a spirit airlines flight created havoc at another airport hundreds of miles away. now, the wrap-up in los angeles. tell us about the details on

these. >> all of this came a bit too soon. three weeks to the day, in fact, after a shooting at l.a.x., report that shots were fired last night. it caused total panic, even though it was a traffic accident. it was an anonymous call reporting a man without a, i'm sorry, with a weapon at a gate in terminal 4. no man, no gunman was found. the police responded fast though after a tsa agent was killed in the shooting in terminal 3. >> the shots fired call, it was due to the banging noise, the car striking the pole. especially with what recently occurred here, everybody's still on edge. they called 911 saying some shots have been fired. >> it was quite something. they brought out the bomb sniffer drawings and they did a

security sweep. everything's back to normal today. as janice was saying, looking at the opening travel weekend for thanksgiving, so a lot of people on the move. the tension caused by that wasn't helped when a man aboard a plane just boarding in atlanta appeared to freak out. he was removed for unruly behavior. he shouted the very worst words you would ever want to hear on a flight. >> there's a bomb on this [ bleep ] plane! if you take me off, i'm [ bleep ] the [ bleep ] plane up. >> the pilots told the atlanta police the behavior started directly after takeoff and continued throughout the flight from ft. lauderdale. lasted about an hour and a half. apparently. the officer who ejected him thought the man had a psychotic breakdown and he was taken to hospital. that's just protocol. back to you, jamie. >> it's amazing to see the people sitting behind him who didn't even move. they stayed in their seats. frightening is putting it at a minimum. >> they were keeping calm and

keeping cool. check this out. there are new reports surrounding the rollout of obama care could foresee that perhaps the administration's not keeping calm and keeping cool. "the washington post" saying it obtained documents that a, quote, preflight check list exposed at least half of the functions weren't working. elizabeth prann is live with more details. >> that report claims the check list compiled by the agency overseeing the rollout proved functions contributing to the loss of the website were still not working as late as august. the paper claims dozens of defects the company was aware of, even classifying some of them as critical. it includes that the site couldn't handle heavy traffic or the ability to allow consumers to browse without registering. this, as the house oversight committee releases a monthly

project status report from the same month and the same agency. internal documents show the testing time frame was, quote, not accurate, and there was, quote, not enough time built in to allow for adequate testing. the white house acknowledged the rollout has been far from perfect. officials continue to change deadlines. this year's enrollment, now december 23rd. next year's, november 2015. some are saying this is playing politics for the midterm elections. >> they realize, holy cow, there's 5 million policies being canceled now, probably be millions more than that in the next couple of months. but next year, there could be 50 million, who knows how many. but it would be enough to certainly swing the election. >> however, the administration is baulking at those claims. they say this simply gives the consumer more time. >> they'll be substantial numbers of people still enrolling right up until that deadline. this gives them more time to

assess the pool of people who are getting insurance through the marketplaces and make decisions. >> now, remember, kelly, many state insurance commissioners are still deciding whether or not to go along with the president's instructions to let consumers keep older insurance plans for the next year. there's a lot going on. >> a lot indeed. thank you. overseas, there are some new developments surrounding iran's nuclear program. secretary of state john kerry joining five other world powers in geneva in the latest rounds of talks that are trying to reach an agreement with iran over its nuke program but so far no deal on the table. molly henenburg keeping us updated. how can they have these talks without iran? >> iran is there too. they're talking sort inof in tw sides. here are some of the key issues the u.s. and the world powers are trying to figure out today. if iran agrees to give up its controversial nuclear activities

should the international community lift some of the sanctions on iran? and should iran be allowed to continue its enrichment program at all? secretary kerry and his counterparts from germany, france, russia and china have been meeting on and off all day in switzerland. the state department says it's not closing the door on iran's uranium enrichment program. >> we have said we're open to iran having a peaceful program. obviously, this is part of what's being discussed in the negotiations. we don't recognize that any country has a right to enrich. we have said that's been our policy for deck kamds. iran has been saying, i believe for decades, that they believe they have the right to enrich. so what we're working through is whether those two positions can be reconcileled through the negotiations. >> iran's foreign minister says the right to enrich uranium for domestic energy use and other purposes is a, quote,

inalienable right and has to be included in any agreement. back here at home, some republican members of congress say it doesn't make sense to allow aye ran to continue to enrich uranium while also reducing international economic pressure. >> and on top of it all, sanctions would begin to unravel on the country. and as a consequence, it would be very hard for us to get them back into place. so if we're going to do a deal, the deal has to be that iran stops its nuclear program. if that isn't the deal, then we need to ratchet up sanctions. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu also has pressed secretary kerry to increase sanctions on iran, not weaken them. jamie. >> molly hennenburg in washington, thank you. an emotional appeal from the family of an american detained in north korea. 85-year-old merrill newman, a korean war veteran, was arrested by north korean authorities in october on the last day a

sightseeing trip there. his family issuing a statement calling it a, quote, dreadful misunderstanding. now they are asking for cooperation with north korea to quickly return newman home. the family has not heard from him since his capture and say they are worried about his health. also, there is more troublinging news for the hero pakistani doctor, the one who helped the cia track down osama bin laden. hit with a hurt charge following the death of a little boy from a surgery six years ago. he is already in prison for conspiring against the state. his sentence was overturned in august and a retrial ordered. reaction to the latest charge earlier on "fox & friends." >> it's ridiculous. clearly, this is nothing more than a sham on the part of the pakistanis to continue their efforts to humiliate and embarrass the united states as

bad partners and in order to extort continued amounts of dollars, in addition to the $1.5 billion we already send them for being bad partners. >> activists are really worried this impressiisonment could discourage others from helping the u.s. in the future. taking to the streets in pakistan to protest u.s. drone policy. krou crowds blocking roads used by nato to transport supplies. and calling for the pakistani government to end u.s. drone attacks. . group says they will stop nato trucks indefinitely beginning on sunday night. still no word from the u.s. embassy in islamabad. president obama's signature health care law striking a sour note with voters. we've got the brand-new polling numbers out there. and they aren't good. what americans are calling the biggest problem in health care. >> just seems to be growing. plus, cyber snitching. the new tools criminals are using to intimidate witnesses.

welcome back, everybody.

a terrifying new scare tactic for criminals who are turning to social media websites like twitter and instagram to try and intimidate witnesses by posting their photos online. a philadelphia instagram account reportedly identified more than 30 witnesses who testified in violent crime cases. wow. this is a dangerous one. now, more from our new york newsroom. tell us more, how did they learn about this? >> it happened about two weeks ago. witness intimidation is not a new phenomenon but with the rise of social media websites, intimidation is becoming easier. the philadelphia district attorney says witness intimidation is reaching near epidemic levels. just two weeks ago, an account was taken down. it is a reference to philadelphia's area code. the account dedicated to exposing rats posted those

witness photos, testimony and police statements. t there have been no arrests in the case thus far. in august, a philadelphia court sentenced a 20-year-old to prison for witness retaliation after he posted a eight-page witness statement on facebook. the city's first assistance d.a. says cases like these jeopardize the criminal justice system. >> you have witness intimidation in verdiirtually every violent crime. almost all of those cases. but i think there has definitely been an increase in the use of social media to do intimidation. >> a manual published by a retired judge outlines how to combat intimidation, urging the ban of sunglass, cell phones and

gang attire in courtrooms. he says one of the downsides to the internet is it allows people to remain anonymous. >> people feel much more comfortable say things that they would never say in public, that they would never say face-to-face. so the internet has made it much easier to intimidate witnesses. >> some of the district attorneys we spoke to around the country say anonymity can make it difficult to track down those doing the intimidation. both facebook and twitter say they're doing everything they can to cooperate with law enforcement. >> definitely got to crack that case. thanks so much, brian, interesting. brand-new polling numbers finding approval of obama care is drop like a rock with americans. take a look at this. only 40% approve the affordable care act. while a whopping 55% disapprove of the president's signature health care law. compared to this time last year. but the most urgent health care

problems facing the u.s., cost and access leading the pack. so what message is this sending the white house and lawmakers? let's bring in our political panel right now. richard and angela, thanks for joining us. let's get right to it. the poll says this data indicate many americans appear to agree with two of the rationales and that is, one, people need health care, they recognize that, but they don't like the way the plan's being implemented, they don't like the plan at all. angela, weigh in on that for me. >> well, they don't like the plan at all because kelly, the bottom line is this, promises were made, pledges were made and they were broken. if you like your health care plan, you can keep it. if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. and unfortunately, the obama care act has added more chaos and confusion. noble in purpose.

noble in the hypothesis of health care reform. but when people vote for a bill and don't read the bill, case in point, that's the problem. >> richard, where do you see things in light of these polls where americans do care about health care? they do want to see people be able to afford health care? and they'd like to see a lot of people covered. >> i think angela's right. it's noble in purpose. i think it's also noble implementation. what we've seen from this president, he's been out here and said, we've made some mistake, we've got to fix this website. we've got to make sure people have access to health care. because the poll indicates that everybody believes -- most americans believe that everybody should have health care and most americans believe it should be affoous system beforated forable care act, there was no affordable health care. that's what the president's trying to fix. hopefully what we'll see from this congress is republicans get on board and say let's work on trying to find solutions to make this law work better for the american people and let's find both congressional fixes and let's make sure people get the

information they need so they can be educated consumers. >> i think to the extend angela would agree with you on that purpose. we just lost her signal. but having said that, richard, as you look forward to ways going on with obama care, the implementation of it has been bad, as you know, with the rollout of health care.gov and now the fact that people are being canceled, finding their insurance going up as well. that does not bode well for the future of the affordable care act. it leaves a bad taste in the mouths of many people who are just concerned about getting adequate coverage. >> well, listen, kelly, there's no question that there was some issues in implementation. like i said before, the white house was very clear. the president said, i fumbled on this. and, you know, he also admitted there was some lies about whether or not you were going to keep your health care insurance. the truth of the matter is, what this law has provided is millions of more people getting access to health care they never had before. think about it. a college student who is 23, 24, getting a masters degree or going to law school now has a

chance to go back on their parent's health care insurance. individuals who had pre-existing condition, whether that be childhood diabetes or as ma, they're getting a chance to get health care. i think we need to fix the website and talk about how it's implemented but there's a clear demand out there. you look at all the states that implemented their own exchanges and you see the enrollment numbers are through the roof in california, in oregon, in connecticut. we can go -- in maryland. in the district of columbicolum. people are signing up to finally get access to health care and that's a good thing. >> angela would probably agree with that but she would also agree to go on to say, wait a minute, you've got to start over again. she would agree with a lot of republicans who say that this is a law that has to be not fixed but thrown out and bring in something new, something more tangible, and something more functional. >> hey, listen, kelly, i wish that there was another tangible, functional option out there. what we've seen from these republicans in the house of

representatives, they said repeal, repeal, repeal, they haven't come up with one fix or one replacement. ript n right now, the affordable care act is the only game in town. we've got to find out how to make it work and how to make it better for the american people. and i think this president's committed to that. i think democrats in the senate are committed to that. we've seen the land droe bill that said that. now it's time for us to see our republican colleagues -- >> all right -- >> -- come to the table and bring up some real meaningful solutions. >> richard, you make up some good points. angela is back. inno lo i no longer have to speak on her behalf to keep things fair and balanced. >> the bottom line is this, the mainstream media has not promoted what republicans have done. when pelosi had the bully pulpit when she was the speaker of the house, she whipped her members of congress in line, but you've had several republican bills,

proposals, that went far beyond health care reform. democrats did not step up to the plate to help support republicans. what we need now, rich, and like i said, earlier, the president said you can keep your health care plan if you want it. you can keep your doctor if you want your doctor. you can keep your hospitalization if you want your hospitalization. all of that has been proven wrong. millions of people have lost their health care plans. and some starting january 1st are going to have to play thousands of dollars for their premiums. so what do we need to do? republicans and democrats need to work together. paul ryan has presented a plan that would help reform medicare. orrin hatch presented a plan that would act really reform medicaid. the partisan politics need to stop. >> all right, we got to go. angela mcgowan, good to have you back. richard, always good to have you, sir. you can see -- by the way, richard and everyone watching, you can see angela with us at

noon tomorrow, noon eastern time. thank you both for your perspective. good day to you. charges may have been dropped against those two girls who were accused of bullying their fellow classmate. now we are learning that the family of this young girl who jumped to her death may be heading to court. do they have a case against the family on civil grounds? our legal panel will join me to weigh in, next. >> they weren't charged with the murder of rebecca, they were charged with stalking her, with tormenting her, with harassing her, and we have a lot of evidence to prove exactly that. hey wayn quick question... did you try restarting it? no, not that. i was thinng about getting a tablet aa gift... verizon has tablets. accessing brn information... yes, ty have a lot to choose from. did you real just... and now you can get $100 off any tablet. thanks, wayne. save like never before on any tablet at verizon now.

the family of a 12-year-old girl allegedly bullied to death

by two classmates is fighting back. now planning to sue the family, of the the two teenaged girls accused in the case. the charges against these girls, who were identified almost immediately by the sheriff even though they're under age, one of the girls actually spoke out about the case on america's newsroom yesterday morning. listen to what she had to say. >> did you ever apologize to your former friend's mom about all of this? >> well, um, i did go to her house and told her i was sorry for her loss, but i did not apologize because i don't think i bullied her. >> we wanted counseling. we wanted apologies. contrary to what kate lynn had been coached by her very slick attorney, she apologized in person. we have textses where kate lynn admitted that she bullied and she beat up our victim, rebecca, who ultimately jumped to her death. >> it's very hard to make sense of this case and it's a tragic case no matter how you look at it.

doug burns is a defense attorney but was also a former prosecutor. i actually watched the interview and i asked my producer to pull that portion of it. i'm going to play you another portion, because i think there's a bigger issue at stake here. first of all, this sheriff was a no nonsense sheriff. he actually identified these girls that were about 15 kids picking on rebecca and she jumped to her death. tell our audience why the charges were dropped. >> well, you know, first he identified them. there was a lot of controversy swirling around that obviously. at this point, they feel they don't have enough evidence, you know, for a criminal case. that begs the question as to whether there may be some potential civil liability obviously. they're couching it, not surprisingly, in terps of the parents since the girls are under age. >> so insufficient evidence doesn't mean they're guilty or innocent, it just means the prosecutor doesn't have enough to bring the criminal case. now fox news has learned the parents are going to bring a civil case. that's money damages. not that you can put a price on

your child's life. >> that's a great point you just made. the point, there's a huge difference between legal guilt and factual guilt and people get really badly confused. what do you mean you're not bringing the case? they did it. not bringing the case means they may not be able to prove it, okay, and so -- >> that's where we are criminally. what about civilly? do they have the ability to sue the parents? >> yes, you specifically knew your child was bullying somebody else and you took no steps to supervise or prevent it. however, there's a couple of problems in the case. again, we don't know the discovery and we don't know the evidence. the first problem is causation. i know that sounds stupid. did she kill herself specifically because of the bullying. >> you would have to prove causation. there's a paper trail of threats and texts and harassment at least of this young girl. here's what the number of one of the young women represented by jose baez, who we know from the

casey anthony case, had to say when she was specifically asked by her daughter about the bullying going on. >> did you ever go to your daughter and say, honhoney, you need to step in because your friend is being bullied and this is wrong. >> i don't think it was to the extent people are saying it was. i think it was blown up to way more than it was supposed to have been. she moved to another school because she wasn't involved in the click. >> wow. a child doesn't change school easily. so is that proof that that child who now is no longer alive had to do something to protect herself? is that evidence? >> having watched people's faces for 28 years professionally and to try to figure out where they're coming from, that seemed like an evasive answer in my opinion for sure. not to be a broken record, you have to play out the discovery. figure out who knew what, you know, the old cliche, when did they know it. the point is, you know, what's

going to happen with bullying which is a good thing is we're going to see a legislative movement to put more and more statutes in to create more responsibility. mark o'meara from the zimmerman case in florida specifically wants to put in a statute given criminal liability to parents. i don't agree with that. >> we report, you decide. you tweet me because i want to know how you feel. i feel if my child was responsible for bullying another child and i didn't supervise them properly, i should face criminal charges as the child should. >> but the distinction is -- >> going out on a limb but you don't feel that way. >> no, i would lay it at the doorstep of the child. put them into the juvenile justice system. what we call in new york city youthful offender. charge them with an offense, harassment, et cetera. and then maybe strike the fear of god into them that way. look, if a parent -- >> i can strike the fear of god without putting my child in the juvenile system. most parents can. isn't it our responsibility to make sure our children do not conduct themselves the way these girls are alleged to have done? >> it becomes a slippery slope

in the sense that i submit like we lawyers say that you're going to end up taking into this net parents who may not have been negligent in their supervision and you have sort a willy-nilly rule. if you're a parent who specifically is aware of very serious bullying and in a position to prevent it, i don't disagree but i don't know about making it a crime. >> what should it be? >> civil liability. parents will quickly get the message. they don't want to be sued for failing to adequately supervise their children. >> we know the law requires an adequate remedy at law. is money an adequate remedy in this case? should it not be something criminal? where you send a message and someone pays the price. >> money and an injunction obviously against any further abuse. >> too late, she's dead. >> in that case, absolutely. >> one thing i'll point out to our audience doug and i agree on, and i'm anxious to hear from parents how they feel. is that there may be a civil lawsuit against the cement company where rebecca was able

to get in there to that tower where she sadly took her life. >> well, no, that's another great point. they owe a duty of care to ostensibly keep the thing face and if it was a breach, there might be liability. >> all right, great discussion. look forward to hearing from everyone. thank you so much, doug burns. >> of course. in today's beyond the dream, we focus on a group of successful women striking a pose for a purpose. each of them appear in a calendar that celebrates their achievements and are role models to women everywhere struggling to overcome barriers that threaten to block their path to success. glowing with grace, flowing with style and dignity are the women who appear in a new calendar. former network news anchor patty created it, which featured successful american women who are proud of their south asian heritage. >> we're trying to raise

awareness and empower women and create role models. >> role models like this woman, a successful scientist. at age 17, she ran away from home in india to avoid undergoing the tradition of an arranged marriage. >> i just thought, if i would have studied and i learned something, then i can help the world and that was my desire. >> and her desire paid off. fast forward to now. she is a molecular bio kem kift, the investmenter of a peptide that treats bed sores and she owns three successful companies which include a skin care line designed for women of color. >> you have self-respect, it doesn't matter what you have to do, even you have to go and clean someone's toilet and get educated yourself, go for it. because only time you will be successful when you're independent, respect yourself. >> while the calendar focuses on success and beauty, patty is

using profits from the calendar to focus on something very sinister and ugly. violence against women. she is very concerned about the disturbing cases of gang rapes in her native india. >> i wanted to do something to save some lives. i was sur posed to go to india last month and had to cancel my trip because of my father's concerns over all the gang rapes. so the concept came to me as a result of that. >> this doctor, a cardiologist in sarasota, appears in the calendar twice. her family moved to chicago from india when she was just a little girl. she applauds the effort to help women who are going through domestic violence. >> you can affect a person's life one individual at a time or you can reach a global audience and i this effort, saris to suits, can reach a global audience, saying this is a

national global problem, it is so many women affected by this problem. for us women, that have worked so hard have become successful, to stand up and say, please, let's increase awareness, as a society, and let's try to make changes. >> saris to suits, an organization seeking to help empower women to live their lives beyond a dream. every two minutes in america, a woman is assaulted order abused. the woman of saris to suits say there must be zero tolerance against women. those women empowering others beyond the dream. >> great story, great women. well, world powers are digging in and geneva, tensions are running really high. can a deal be hammered out over iran's nuclear program? when you have diabetes like i do, getting the right nutrition isn't always easy. first, i want a way to help minimize my blood sugar spikes.

are with this. explain that for us please. >> okay. first of all, let's go for the stakes. the stakes are if we don't get this right if iran does not give us its nuclear weapons program, all the other countries in the region, the saudi, the kuwaitis, maybe even the egyptian, they'll all say, we need our own nuclear weapons to balance iran. so you'll see a nuclear arms race in the most unstable part in the world. and a part of the world that the world economy relies on. why? because of the oil. so the stakes could not be higher. i think what's happening in geneva right now is there are two possible deals. one end, we give up the sanctions and they give up their nukes. that's the deal we want. at the other end, we give up the sanctions and they don't give up the nuclears. and the concern that some of the european countries have had, that some of our senator, republicans and democrats, have had, is that the administration is so eager for a deal that they'll take this deal, the one

where iran pretends to give up its nukes, we pretend to believe them, but, in fact, they get to keep their nukes. >> that is the stumbling block now because iran wants to keep uranium enrichment which of course they're saying is for domestic purposes. as israel's prime minister netanyahu has spoken so eloquently about it and so candidly about it, if they have that kind of view, we take sanctions off the table or loosen them, there will be wolves at the door just ready to move in and help iran go all the way with developing centrifuges to lead to a development of a weapon. >> the thing about this, iran is at the negotiating table because of the sanctions. their economy is crumbling. their currency has fallen. their revenues from oil are half of of what they were a couple years ago because of the sanctions. people are arguing, well, if you give up the sanctions or pause the sanctions or eliminate the sanction, even just eliminate part of the sanctions, then iran

has no incentive at all to come to -- to come to an agreement. i think the economic weapon, as we've seen in the past, it works. when i was in the reagan administration, reagan was able to use the economic weapon, the price of oil, to drive the russians into a deal. and that's what we could do with iran. but you don't get that deal if you give up the sanctions. >> that's true. if we go with that deal, as the obama administration appears eager to do as you've mentioned, what does that do? does that remove economic sanctions? does it allow them to develop a nuclear weapon and then we end up with a military option? >> well, nobody wants a military option. nobody wants to go to war with iran. some people may have suggested it. if it's a choice between iran getting nukes or having a war with iran or destroying the iran's nuclear site, then maybe the iran military option should be on the table. even secretary kerry said the military option is on the table.

think there's a third way between letting them get the bomb and bombing iran, and that is if the united states develops our own energy. if we develop our own oil and natural gas, it does a couple of things. it mean, one, we aren't dependent on the middle east and don't have to get sucked in to their crises. the price of oil will fall. if iran doesn't have oil above $80, $90 a barrel, iran can't meet payroll. and then the iranian people go to their own leaders and say, we want a change. >> and that's a good place to end. we'll be right back. thank you for joining us. hey kevin...still eating chalk for heartburn? yeah... try new alka seltzer fruit chews. they work fast on heartburn and taste awesome. these are good. told ya! i'm feeling better already.

welcome back. a new study left a lot of people head scratching. they just don't know what to do. a u.s. health task force says older folks are more likely to get cancer but they don't have to undergo the preventive cancer screenings to find out. thank goodness you're here to explain. because you do want people to get screened but maybe not every screening. >> this is up for a big debate. there's also a discussion. between the task force and the

cancer society. the debate is to screen or not to screen. let's pick psa, prostate specific antigen. it's a blood test. it's very cheap. if you find the cancer early, the cure rate is over 90%. the opponents against this will tell you you may find cancers that may not be life threatening and now you jeopardize their function. so in the end, the guidelines are the guidelines but that's for the public. when the patient comes into my office, you have to individualize the care. is there family history? is there a risk factor? there are other more commonalties, heart disease and others? we used to say, if you have ten years longevity, then we want to do the screening. if you're not, and you're really sick, we will leave you alone

because we may be doing it unnecessarily. the medical doctors, the cardiologists and others, have done a good job. because now people are living longer and longer. now for prostate cancer, this year, we have 230,000. what is the number in 2030? goes to 400,000. why? because people are living longer. they're not dying from heart disease. so we have to individualize the care. and what i call it a risk straight ification. by the way, everything i say about prostate cancer is exactly identical to breast cancer and mammograms. >> if we're going to live longer and say we get mammograms, they're radiation, right? >> yes. >> we don't want years and years of extra radiation we're going to get. should we cut back on testing? this study is recommending in some folks, it's not necessary. that could be good information for some, dangerous for others. >> this particular study, as you mentioned, i am a fan of this. i think after age of 75, we can slow down a lot of it.

because if somebody has made it by then, hopefully they will do quite well because they have good foundation, good nutrition, lower risk. the bigger investment, if you have a limited resource of screening, it should go to the young guys, the 40-year-olds, the 45-year-olds, because that will give us about 30, 40 years of life-span, and that's why i'm in favor of early screening, 100% with you. when should you get your mammogram? not 50. i believe you should get it at 40. pas for men? not 50 because we see a lot of young men in their 40s dying from prostate cancer. get it at the age of 340. ultimately, individual conversation with your doctor. >> definitely have the conversation. check on the psa. check on the baseline mammogram. i hope you'll do the same. thank you, doc. see you tomorrow for "house call." i'm jamie colby. so great to have all of you here. have a wonderful day. >> and i'm kelly wright. we look forward to seeing you
