to various campaign events, often not taking any even basic mitigation steps like wearing a mask or social distancing. in a letter, the white house physician says the first couple is doing well. the 74-year-old president has canceled all of his events for today and for this weekend. but it is unclear exactly how long he will quarantine. >> whether we have it, i don't know. >> reporter: just hours before the shocking diagnosis, president trump revealed he and the first lady had been tested for covid after top aide hope hicks contracted the virus. >> i just heard about this. she tested positive. she wears masks a lot but she tested positive. >> reporter: on wednesday, hicks can be seen in this video boarding the president's helicopter without a mask. less than a minute after the president. a short time later, she walked with the president's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner to air force one to attend a re-election rally. a senior administration official tells cbs news, hicks tested

negative for covid wednesday morning but then developed symptoms and tested positive. her results were not announced by the white house thursday, even though there was a formal white house press briefing and then the president boarded air force one again to attend an indoor fundraiser in new jersey. earlier this week, hicks accompanied the president and other top aides to the debate in cleveland. >> those states oar. >> reporter: where the president was just feet from 77-year-old former vice president joe biden. >> i have a mask right here. i'll put a mask on. when i think i need it. >> reporter: but president trump did not don a mask in public until july 11th. more than three months after the cdc first recommended face coverings in april. and in recent weeks, he continued to cast doubt about their effectiveness. >> there are a lot of people think the masks are not good. >> reporter: downplaying the threat of the virus. >> open your schools, everybody. open your schools. >> reporter: and mock mask wearers. >> can you take it off because i cannot hear you? >> i'll just speak louder, sir.

>> because you want to be politically correct. >> reporter: including his democratic rival. >> you could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask i've ever seen. >> reporter: just hours before the president tested positive, he made this declaration. >> the end of the pandemic is in sight and next year will be one of the greatest years of the history of our country. >> reporter: the white house says that contact tracing is currently under way, but it's unclear if that includes all the people the president interacted with at various fundraisers this week. though it does likely include anyone he encountered in the west wing where they have taken a cavalier attitude towards this virus, rarely social distancing or wearing masks. >> paula, thank you. the president's illness could have a huge and widespread impact. we want to talk about that with our medical expert dr. david agus and our chief washington correspondent major garrett. let's start with dr. agus. david, good morning. from what little we know at this point, how long do you think president trump may have had the

coronavirus? >> well, we don't know. presumably he had a negative test tuesday before the debate. and he has a positive test now. and so the test -- there can be false negatives. you can have a virus but it's not a lot in your nose or mouth so the test comes up positive. so the exact timing whether he got it from hope hicks or not is very hard to tell. >> so what are the treatment options at this point? what do you believe they are doing for the president in the white house? >> so he's higher risk, right? he's male. that's his biggest risk factor. he's overweight. he's over 70 years of age. and so the treatments at this point in general are supportive care. remdesivir, dexamethasone. in the last couple of weeks there was significant data using monoclona antibodies. it shows improvement in the

patient. it's not fda approved or eua but there's a potential to use it. >> the president and first lady of quarantining now, but they didn't say how long they plan to quarantine. how long should they quarantine? >> well, classically if one doesn't have symptoms, it's ten days from the positive test or two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. if he does have symptoms, it will be 10 days from the symptoms, and again, the negative test. i assume they'll test him at a regular interval to get the quarantine as short as possible. >> president trump's physician released a memo saying he is expected to continue carrying out his duties without disruption. what do you make of that assessment? >> yeah, i think it's very likely. you look at the numbers. somebody of his age and risk factors. a 90% to 95% chance of doing very well with the virus. there's that five-plus percent chance that something

significant could happen and he can get very ill. and, obviously, we hope he's in the larger group and doesn't get ill. >> one last thing, david, joe biden stood pretty close to president trump at the debate the other night for 90 minutes. what do you think his risk of exposure may have been? >> i don't think it's going to be significantly high for two reasons. one is, there was a negative test that day the president had which mean he's didn't have a lot of virus in his mouth or his nose and presumably he wasn't infectious at that point. and there was a significant distance between them. this is a message, right, that just testing alone doesn't work. you still need to wear a mask. and that is such a critical message here. >> dr. david agus, thanks so much. >> let's bring in major garrett for a look at how the white house and trump campaign plan to get through this. the ramifications are enormous on this. what are you hearing from the white house and how are they handling it? two questions there. >> let's talk about the national security implications because that's one thing that we should

keep a very close eye on. not only is every reporter in washington trying to figure out just how sick the president is or might become. every adversary of the united states is doing precisely the same thing. and our friendly intelligence agencies are also trying to find out. this is a time for maximum transparency from this white house about this issue. to be as clear as possible about what happened, when it happened, and what the president's condition is on a day-to-day basis to reassure our friends and also to send a very strong signal to our foes that the president can carry out the business of the presidency. he is not in any way limited, and the work of the u.s. government under his watch goes on. that is probably the most dominant conversation going on within the white house this morning. how to project that, how to carry that out, and how to reassure a somewhat nervous american public about this news development but also to send that message globally to those who wish us well and wish us ill. >> i would imagine a lot of people in the white house are freaking out, in terms of worrying about their own

exposure. for instance it was reported in paula's piece that hope hicks was tested positive. president trump knew that and did a fundraiser in new jersey. so i'm wondering about the timeline and who else might have been exposed to this. >> well, this is going to be a classic illustration of what i just spoke about, gayle. the transparency. you have to, as a white house, explain what the president knew, when he knew it and those that you were actually contact tracing. explain to the american people how this process works. show what you're going to do. explain all the people you're going to contact and all the people the president came in contact with to reassure not only them but explain to the american public how this process works when someone in a very important position contracts the virus, even though this president, as we know, has lots of protections and regular testing. the fact the virus got in, got to him is indicative of how easily it's transmitted and what you do once that information is obtained. tis is a window into this operation at the white house. and the president's willingness or unwillingness to be candid with the american public will be

part of the political discussion, not just about the coronavirus but his own relationship to the american public. >> the statement also said that he intends to govern while he is still in quarantine. i'm curious about how that's going to work exactly and what will this mean for his campaign? >> well, let's talk about governing. the president can do that either from the residence or from the oval office with very limited contact with people. there will be no contact with people. he can get lots of memos electronically, make phone calls and certainly anyone who has worked in this white house knows that there's many times the president communicates to them on very important matters via twitter. on campaigning, this will be a significant draw back. no more fundraisers, no more rallies. if there are rallies, what will they be conducted under? far more masks? much more social distancing? they'll have to be. and lastly, they might have the imiblications for the presidential debates themselves. the next debate, october 15th. i'd have to believe that is somewhat up in the air. >> a lot to unpack there, major. of course, we're all very concerned about the president and first lady. thank you very much.

joe biden has given his first response to the news that the president and first lady have tested positive for the coronavirus. in a tweet he said, quote, jill and i send our thoughts to president trump and first lady melania trump for a swift recovery. we'll continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family. our ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020 for us and the biden campaign. ed, good morning to you. >> we now know that biden is set to be tested for covid-19 this morning, according to a person familiar with those plans. he and running mate kamala harris are tested regularly for the coronavirus so this isn't entirely out of the ordinary but we're not likely to hear about their future plans until the results of those tests come back. remember, over the course of this pandemic, one of the central arguments of the vice president's fight for the white house has been built on the idea that he is better equipped than the president to respond to the coronavirus. a recent cbs news battleground tracker poll of registered voters found 50% believe biden would do a better job of

handling the pandemic to the president's 38%. today, biden is scheduled to fly to grand rapids, michigan, to give a speech on the economy but we've yet to hear whether he still plans to do so. as a precaution overnight, the campaign asked a reporter who was with the president on wednesday in minnesota not to serve in the biden press pool today or the group of reporters tat travel with him when he's on the campaign trail. remember, the biden campaign has been incredibly vigilant about this virus since the start. it's why he doesn't hold many public events. it's why when he does, there are very few people there in attendance. it's why they keep us at a safe social distance from him and when reporters show up, they have their temperature taken and questions asked about whether they've been exposed to anybody with the virus. they don't even operate out of his philadelphia campaign headquarters anymore. staffers are working virtually across the country. so we'll see whether they keep to that vigilance and keep to their plans. with 32 days left and millions of americans already voting all across the country, all campaign planning is now in flux.

>> ed o'keefe, thank you, ed. before the president got the virus, he planned to campaign tomorrow in wisconsin, which is in the middle of a worsening covid crisis. that state is one of 29 where coronavirus cases are on the rise. yesterday wisconsin reported its largest one-day increase in new cases. more than 2,800. meg oliver looks at how wisconsin's hospitals are wrestling with the challenge. >> inside the icu at a hospital in wausau, wisconsin, the number of covid patients is growing fast. their health system saw a 30% jump in covid patients in a single day, according to ceo matthew haywood. >> this is just the beginning of us having two or three months of this. and we've got to get through this. >> reporter: 82% of all hospital beds in the state are full. after new covid cases more than doubled over the last month. milwaukee county hospitals may need to use this alternate care

facility at the state fairgrounds if trends continue. >> right now we can't live like we're back to the way things used to be. we can't afford to act like things are business as usual. >> reporter: as cases rise across the midwest, ohio governor mike dewine announced the results of a large antibody study on thursday. it revealed millions of ohioans likely remain vulnerable to infection and that herd immunity is a long way away. >> so what we have to do is hang in there. we've got to keep this virus low and we wait for the vaccine to hit. >> reporter: as several vaccine manufacturers continue critical work in phase three trials, some participants have developed side effects, including 53-year-old lisa mejeski. >> what have the side effects been like? >> after the first injection, i just had mild body aches for about half the day and took some pain medication and i felt better. and after the second one, it was about a whole day of a low-grade fever and more severe body

aches. and i took some more advil and i felt fine the next day. >> any regrets? >> no, none at all. >> reporter: this is one of the testing sites for the moderna vaccine at a hackensack university medical center. this week we learned the ceo doesn't expect the vaccine to be widely available until next spring. and on thursday, the ceo of pfizer told employees they will continue to move at the speed of science with their vaccine and not bow to political pressure to move faster. tony? >> meg, thank you very much. certainly a lot to take in this morning. we wake up to the news of the president and first lady testing positive. i'm stuck with the remark from dr. david agus looking at the numbers. in his age bracket with this diagnosis, there's about a 10% chance he could have serious complications. >> and as we've seen with other world leaders, boris johnson in particular -- >> very ill. >> initially he wasn't. initially everything seemed fine and then took a turn. so this, as we pointed out over the last months, this virus acts differently with everybody.

>> it just is another indication about how this virus does not discriminate. no one is immune from it. if the president of the united states can get it who is that protected and that well covered and that he gets it, it says a lot. i hope that they will be listening at the white house to what major garrett was saying about transparency. >> yeah. >> really got to be very clear about when this happened, how this happened and who has he been in contact with. and that's a lot of people. >> it is. and at the scope of this, how far is not yet clear. >> the world is watching and wondering. >> so many questions still remain. >> as boris johnson said, this could go either way as he came out of intensive care. we'll be following whatever direction it goes. strong winds fanning a massive wildfire in northern california that's been burning for days. ahead, we'll take you inside the desperate battle to save lives wi

we are closely watching how the white house is responding to the news that president trump and the first lady have tested positive for the coronavirus, both of them. chief washington correspondent major garrett is following the latest developments in this unfolding story. major, good morning to you again. have you heard anything about possible exposure for vice president mike pence? >> well, the vice president was in proximity to president trump this week, so that is something that has to be explained by the white house. that could also have implications for the vice presidential debate on october

7th because if the vice president was exposed, if he tests positive, that brings that into question, as well. we don't know. goes back to my point at the top of the broadcast. this is a time whether this white house is prepared for it or not for maximum transparency. not only do our friends want to know, our enemies the to know, markets want to know. everyone in the world wants to know what happened, why, how well the president is, what therapies if any he is taking, and how he's doing. not just day to day but morning, noon, and night. >> major, from what you know, what exactly were the protocols with the coronavirus? >> anthony, there weren't protocols. they were preferences, and the preference was not to social distance, not to wear masks. and that's the problem. that is the quite visible problem for this white house right now. protocols are real. protocols are enforced, and protocols are repeated. and at this white house there was a very brief period where the protocols of news, weather, and traffic weari-- of mask wea

were a few weeks ago. there's an accurate word, cavalier about these protocols. doing things in the way the president preferred and aides around him preferred. you can take video of days and days and weeks and weeks of white house events where there are no mosquasks or worn infrs y infrequently. it sends a message to the country. and the president mocked former vice president joe biden and his unwillingness to have rallies and his willingness to wear masks in all encounters. well, that mockery is being viewed quite clearly in a different context. >> that's exactly what i was thinking, major. this has got to be president trump's worst nightmare, one anyway, because he has certainly downplayed this for weeks and months and doesn't seem to have been taking it as seriously as the scientists seem to think that you should. what do you think will be his likely response? normally he seems to double down on things. what do you think will be his

likely response? >> well, that's a kind of an area of speculation i don't like to get into. my sense of the president, having covered him for many, many years now, is that he will want as he always wants to do project two things -- optimism and strength. and it is quite possible, as dr. david agus said, by percentages he could have a mild case and get through this rather rapidly. but that's not the key metric. the key is how did this happen, what is the contact tracing, what does that look like to the american public? how do you reassure rattled investors, how do you reassure allies, how do you tell others who wish us ill don't play with this because i'm fine, the president's intact, and i'll get better. all those things are on the table right now. the white house has to wrap its arms around every one of those items on the to-do list and earlier rather than later. >> on that last point, a lot of americans are going to be waking up and will have one question, can the president continue to do his job. based on how this president works and what you know of the work of the presidency in general, how likely is it that he'll be able to carry out his

duties in quarantine? >> fully likely as long as he feels well. then a temporary transfer of power to the vice president if for any reason medical or otherwise you're incapacitated. we're not there yet, we're not close to that. it's a question on the minds of every citizen. and the white house has to explain daily how the president's doing and how close, if at all close, it's getting to that points. >> ithe key points as you said transparency. so important to know exactly what is happening in the white house at all times when it comes to this -- when it comes to this illness, this virus. >> in this context, in the midst of this campaign, with this virus, it has never been more important. >> so many ramifications. thank you. thank you so much. ahead, vlad duthiers will take a look at the stories you'll be talking about later today. a lot of stories to talk about later today. this is a big knowing who we are is hard.

there is stunning news on this friday, october 2nd, 2020. welcome to "cbs this morning." co-vid in the white house. president trump and the first lady test positive for the virus. we'll look at how it happened and the impact on the election. >> a heart patient's struggle to pay off his medical bill after major sshlg and what we can learn from his experience. and a new protest song. a brand new song better than we found it. >> first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> president trump and melania trump tested positive for the

coronavirus. he tweeted we'll get through this together. >> in a letter the white house physician says the first couple is doing well. the 74-year-old president has cancelled all of his events for today and for this weekend. >> this is a time for maximum transparency from this white house about this issue. to be as clear as possible about what happened, when it happened, and what the president's condition is on a day today basis. >> biden is set to be tested for covid-19 this morning. he and running mate kamala harris are tested regularly for the coronavirus. this isn't out of the ordinary, we're not likely to hear about their future plans until the results of the tests come back. >> in ireland the highest court ruled subway sandwiches are too sugary to meet the definition of bread. ireland, you're adorable. america literally has a sandwich that is fried chicken between

two donuts. you can get it with a side of fries and a defibrillator, and the defibrillator is between two do nuts, because these colors don't run. president trump revealing he has tested positive for the coronavirus. mr. trump confirmed early this morning that he and the first lady, melania trump, have co-vid. he has spent months minimizing the potential risk, rarely wearing a mask and often mocking people who do. >> he tweeted tonight the first lady and i tested positive for covid-19. we'll begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. we will get through this together. paula reid is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. in a letter the white house investigation says the first couple is doing well. the president has cancelled all of his public events. it's unclear how long he's going to quarantine. and just moments ago, we learned

that the vice president and his wife were tested this morning, and they both tested negative. thankfully, of course. late thursday, news broke that hope hicks, one of the president's closest advisers tested positive, and news of the president's test and diagnosis followed hours later. hicks traveled with the president to minnesota. here you can see the president boarding the plane, and hicks follows a minute behind. she also traveled to the debate tuesday with the president and she was on air force one with other top advisers this week like ivanka trump, jared kushner, the press secretary and robert o'brien who is actually already had co-vid. a senior white house official tells us contact tracing is underway. but they've not confirmed that will include all of the people that the president interacted with at multiple fundraisers he

attended over the past few days. yesterday here at the white house, the press secretary held a briefing for reporters. the press secretary had had exposure to hope hicks, but she said no mention of this high profile diagnosis. she and the three staffers who attended with her did not wear masks during yesterday's briefing. tony? >> paula, thank you. joining us now are chief medical correspondent and senior political analyst. good morning to both of you. doctor lapook, to you first i want to take advantage of the md after your name. if the president were of your patient right now, everyone wants to know is he going to be okay. the course of this illness. what would you look for? what should we look for in terms of knowing if the president is going to be doing well or not so well in this case? >> good morning, tony. statistically, he should do well. but he does have some risk factors of age and obesity, and if there's one thing we know

about this virus, the one predictable thing is that it's unpredictable. i think he's going to be watched very closely. watch for any kind of signs, fever, cough, loss of smell and diarrhea. the most important thing is is he having any trouble breathing. other symptoms, they're watching him closely. in terms of him being my patient, he's not, but the trick with a vip is you treat the vip like any other patient. you get into trouble when you treat them differently. >> you heard earlier the option for treatment is supportive care. what is meant by supportive care? >> supportive care just means making sure they're well hydrated. that they have good nutrition and things like that, because there's nothing proven to help people in this situation yet in the early course when they're feeling well. remdesivir and dexamethasone have been shown to be helpful in people sicker. it is possible they could think

about using something like antibodies to try to give to somebody early in the course, but that's not been proven to be effective or safe in this situation. >> major garrett has made a good point this morning when he says we really need the white house to be transparent here. so what questions does the white house need to answer to the american people today to let us know how this is progressing and what is happening? >> you know, first we need to know about the president's health and the first lady's health. we need to know it. we can take it. it's reassuring even if it's worrysome, it's reassuring to know you're being told the truth. and to know the incubation period. it's 2 to 14 days. that mines if i get infected today, i don't become infectious until two to 14 days from now. that's how you figure out who was infected and possibly

exposed. they have to do basic shoe leather public health measures. find people contacts, put them in quarantine, have them be in quarantine and the president and first lady since they did test positive, they'll be in isolation. >> is it troubling to hear the president after hope hicks was diagnosed, that he went to a fundraiser in new jersey and was around another group of people there? >> yeah. we do know that it's this concept, and it's hard for people to get their arms around it. of incubation period. it means that if hope hicks tested positive on wednesday, then she was probably infected at least 48 hours before then and on an average, five days from the time you're exposed to being infected. so do the math. they both could have been exposed to the same person. it's not necessarily that he got it from hope hicks. they could have both gotten it from somebody else and both incubating. he could have been infected but

not yet infectious. why it's so important to wear a mask all the time, especially indoors. >> yeah. and there are still so many questions about how many people in the white house area may have been infected. we don't know yet. john, as much as the president seemed to be flirting with the coronavirus by not wearing a mask and going to big rallies, what was your first thought when you heard the news overnight? >> well, my first thought was we didn't have to wait long into october before we got our october surprise. my second thought was i hoped partisans wouldn't embrace their worst instincts in reacting to this. and the third one was that co-vid sleeps for no man. it waits for no man. again, the president has down played the virus. he's mocked mask wearing as recently as in the debate, and yet the pandemic is relentless and does not care where it goes. now it's gone inside the most protected building in america. >> a lot of people will be wondering this morning about the president's ability to be govern. how do you think this will

effe affect that? >> well, it depends, of course, how bad the symptoms are and how just physically how drained he is. you know, there are obviously protocols in place for short-term incapacitation should it ever get to that, and we're nowhere near that. but also the white house has an operating pattern, but the question is if somebody tries to take advantage of this, there are a lot of america's enemies circling around this election at the moment, and so it really dpebds both on his condition and the challenges he's faced with, but there's nothing in the evidence so far that would suggest that this should be a particular problem at this very moment. >> john, we're all dealing with a lot of uncertainty this morning. one of the big ifs is if the president takes a bad turn, what happens to the leadership in the white house? we've heard about the 25th amendment. can you tell us about the protocol and whether it's used before in american history? >> well, it has been used before in short duration.

when ronald reagan had a colons xi and george w. bush device and mike pence was on stand by once to use it. there is a process. there will be a run up period where everybody can figure out the protocols. so there's a way to handle this should we ever get to that pass which we're truly a long way from at the moment. >> john, back to you for a second. we're hearing that vice president mike pence and his wife have both tested negative. that's what we're hearing right now. that's breaking news. but i have a question about joe biden. because it has been reported that he tested negative, that the president tested negative on tuesday before the debate. is joe biden in any jeopardy, do you think? >> you know, theoretically he could be in jeopardy. right? because remember that he tested negative on tuesday, but he could have had a low level of

virus there that didn't get picked up by the test. so he shouldn't be really in a lot of danger. the one thing that i thought of was that the president certainly had a lot of volume to his voice and the more -- the louder you are, the more the aerosols can go out across, but i think probably he's not in big danger. but the vice president's not out of the woods. the 2 to 14-day incubation period. just because he tested negative today, he could have still have gotten it four or five or six days ago. anything more than 48 hours ago and test positive tomorrow or the next day. they have to keep watching and i suspect they'll keep testing him. >> it didn't take long for us to get the october surprise like you said. how do you think it's going to affect the campaigns of both candidates? >> well, it takes the president off the campaign trail. that means he's not out there making the kind of news he wants. that's also a physical drain on him. his aides talk about the rallies

as if they're oxygen for them. he'll be done in that aspect, and also it keeps the campaign -- this is why co-vid waits for no one. it keeps that issue right at the center of the campaign and the president's response to it which is not something that he wants at the center of the campaign because polls have consistently shown the country is disappointed with his handling of the issue. and then the question is what happens with the next debate? how much is the vice presidential debate taken over by this issue? all of which are complicated questions and ones the trump campaign doesn't want to be talking about. >> all right. the politics and prognosis this morning with the major

welcome back to welcome back to "cbs this morning." you're looking at a live picture from the white house this morning where staff is probably, no doubt, still processing and reeling from the breaking news overnight. we've been talking about it through the broadcast that president trump's covid diagnosis and the first lady were both diagnosed last night with covid-19. the president and the first lady say they're in quarantine after having the positive test. this pandemic has already led voting officials working overtime to get enough people, staff polling places for the november election. some big names have joined the recruitment efforts. major garrett has been looking into the voting pandemic. good morning.

>> good morning to you, gayle. there's an energy effort, you might call it frantic in some jurisdiction, to recruit a younger generation of poll workers as older for covid reasons are stepping back. >> reporter: poll worker has been home for decades. she will not be doing that this year. >> no, i will not, to my sorrow. >> reporter: her age and underlying health conditions make her vulnerable to coronavirus. >> i decided that my doctor would have a voice in it. when i raised the question with him, his face immediately said no. >> reporter: how sad does this make you? >> i shed a tear. i miss the people. >> reporter: across the country, election administrators are racing to recruit enough staffers amid a pandemic. more than half of poll workers are 61 or older, putting many in an age group success spentible to the virus.

>> the bare minimum we need is 30,000 just to op the polls on election day. >> reporter: election competition. >> we wanted that extra in case there's a surge in the virus or those that decided not to show up. our target is 55,000. >> reporter: that's meant recruiting tactics, while allowing 17-year-olds to work as poll workers, give business people election day off and incentivizing charitable oranizations to pitch in. >> we got an opportunity -- >> reporter: there have been no shortage of national appeals. >> we got to keep showing up at the polls. not just to cast our own vote, but to make sure that others can, too. >> reporter: former president obama joined the cause this week. adding his voice to a poll worker registration drive led by nba royalty. >> democracy doesn't work if just a few people do it. >> one of the silver linings to

this whole pandemic experience, this will be the year we recruited the whole new generation of poll workers. >> reporter: among the new generation is abby loveland, a first-time poll worker in durham, north carolina. >> if we can't staff the polls, it's an easy excuse to close them. i don't want to give any excuse for voter succeppression. >> reporter: she's taking classes online. >> i'm doing it because we need to. and also because i can. i am incredibly lucky, incredibly privileged that i can do this. and i think it's a time where we figure out whatever our capacity is and do whatever we can. >> reporter: experts tell us the total number of new poll workers needed this election year nationwide is between 250,000 and 300,000, based on the assumption that about 40% of previous poll workers simply won't be there. there are signs that recruitment is on pace. the key is distribution.

in most states you have to work the polls in the county where you live. a surplus in one county cannot be transferred to another. >> that's a problem. that's a really big number, major. glad some folks are stepping up. this morning a young kentucky man says his life is on hold because a heart condition left him with massive debt sdit having health insurance. we're looking at his case in our continuing "bill of the month" partner kaiser health news and npr examining unexpected medical cost. the now 31-year-old is dealing with big bills and bankruptcy just to be able to live a normal life after years of medical care. >> i stopped going to it is movies and basketball games. >> reporter: matthew fentress was 20 years old when he was diagnosed with cardio myopathy, a condition that makes it harder for the body to pump blood throughout the body. doctors inserted a pacemaker and

defibrillator. fentress had insurance, but when he couldn't afford his $5,000 hospital bill, he declared bankruptcy. this january his cardiologist suggested fentress undergo a cardiac ablation procedure to restore normal heart rhythm and offer him a better quality of life. >> it's not really living. all i do is sit around the house. and not able to enjoy anything. >> reporter: the bill for that better life. $258,000. his insurance negotiated the bill down and paid more than $26,000, but due to his high deductible plan, fentress was on the hook for close to $8,000. >> and you get somanybills that it's almost like they pile up on you. >> reporter: fentress has yet to pay any of the bill and filing paperwork to negotiate the amount with his hospital. until then, he says his life is

on hold. >> can't get a credit card. i can't buy a house. i don't see me ever being able to. >> united healthcare says it's worked with baptist health louisville for many years to help reduce health care costs. it says matthew fentress' procedure was covered correctly under his plan which has a maximum out of pocket expense of $7,900. they gave him the estimate of $7,888 before the procedure and says he has not applied for financial assistance but is likely eligible and they're prepared to expiteed the process. we're joined by dr. elizabeth rosenthal, editor-in-chief at kaiser health news. whenever i watch one of these stories, i just remember how you open those envelopes, those bills with such trepidation because you don't know what you're going to see inside. matthew had insurance, so how did he get stuck with such a large bill?

>> yeah, this guy is someone who did everything right. you're told to buy insurance, you don't have a lot of money so you look at the premium and buy the cheapest plan or the plan you can afford. the most you can afford. and we're prime to look at the premiums, right? and we're now kind of primed to lok at deductibles as well. what really hit matthew was not just the deductibles but also there's something called the co-insurance. so, 20% of everything on his hospital bill he was expected to pay, too. and that's what put him over the edge. >> what is that exactly, elizabeth? >> it is exactly what it sounds like. everything you're charged for in the hospital, the patient is expected to pay 20% of. as we know, the rack rate for that procedure was over $200,000. luckily, what insurance does still do is you get the

insurance negotiated rate, so it was $2,700. if you look at all the bills, it really adds up. there's an out-of-pocket yearly maximum. in his case i think it was $8,900. the thing is that resets january 1st. so, you know, if your procedure and your complications span two years, you have to pay it twice. a lot of unfairness. >> and you're lucky if you don't get a heart attack just from the $250,000 initial bill. should people avoid high-deductible plans and if they can't, what should they know about that type of plan? >> well, you often can't -- it's often what you can afford. i think we have to be primed as buyers, as smart shoppers, which i hate using that term for patients, but to look not just as the premiums but at the deductibles and at the co-insurance payments because that's what really got this young man into trouble.

p.s., he had a known -- he actually got it from the flu, but what he had, this myocardia problem, it's a complication of covid, too. the heart muscles return to normal but the rhythms are abnormal so he desperately needed this procedure. >> doctor, thank you so much. ahead, how one of america's soccer's biggest names and the teams he coaches proposition 16 takes on discrimination.

some women make as little as 42% of what a man makes. voting yes on prop 16

helps us fix that. it's supported by leaders like kamala harris and opposed by those who have always opposed equality. we either fall from grace or we rise. together. proposition 16 provides equal opportunities, levelling the playing field for all of us. vote yes on prop 16.

forfeit. martin appeared visibly upset as he went to the locker room after he says he heard a homophobic slur from an opposing player. >> the player unfortunately was not removed from the match by the official or their team, and so our only course of action was to walk away. >> reporter: former u.s. soccer star landon donovan is the team's coach. the loyal were up 3-1 when they decided to leave. >> so forfeiting the game was a big deal, but you and the rest of the team felt that this was way more important. >> guys to their immense credit realized there was something bigger at stake. >> reporter: just before halftime, donovan spoke to the referee and opposing coach about the alleged incident. >> we have to get this out of our game. it's -- >> it's homophobia. >> we want to play soccer. >> reporter: phoenix coach rick schantz said after the game "in no way was i excusing any alleged homophobic behavior from my players." but the player in question,
