drugmakers deny those allegations. the impact of the price hikes on the patient. anna, good morning. >> good morning, gayle. those high prices combined with rising insurance deductibles mean many people who rely on insulin are feeling sticker shock. even doctors say without a way to pay, some patients are left facing impossible choices. >> i'm so sorry to see you again in the hospital. >> this cell phone video shows dr. clarisa levitan talking to her patient, shana thompson, back in the hospital because she couldn't pay for her insulin. >> one vial of insulin costs how much for you? >> $178. >> the fourth time in just over a year that thompson had to be treated for a life-threatening diabetic coma. >> patients come in and say i can't afford to take it. so i'm not.

prices are is designed to offset rebates to maintain profitability. and e-- >> i don't believe there's been collusion. >> she points out the list prices are up, the negotiated prices, what the industry calls net prices, have gone up just 2% to 3% overall. that's because intermediaries called pharmaciy benefit managers or pbms, take a fee, then pass those lower net prices on to insurance companies and ultimately consumers. the problem, says evans, is patients who have high deductibles or little or no insurance don't get those discounted prices. >> in other words, the people who can least afford these increases are the ones that get hit by them. >> everyone gets hit a little bit but it's disproportionately.
7:46 am
>> but riley says. >> the marketplace is working effectively to help keep drug cost increases in check. >> i'm listening to that statement and i'm hearing consumers go, are you kidding me? >> there is an issue for many patients who today face increasing deductibles. if they're coming to the pharmacy counter, paying full list price while insurance company benefit manager has bought that drug at a 50% or 60% discount, that is a problem. >> the country's largest pharmacy benefit manager told us drugmakers are the ones raising the prices. experts tell us there's plenty of blame to go around here in the system. meanwhile, all three insulin manufacturers say they've announced new initiatives to make insulin more affordable for patients who need that help. go to cbsthismorning.com to find those as well as an e-mail address where you can contact us about this issue or any other consumer problems we should look

8:03 am
attacks across the country. the president spoke after touring the national museum of african-american history and culture. >> we have to fight bigotry, intolerance and hatred in all of its very ugly forms. the anti-semitic threats targeting our jewish community and community centers are horrible. and are painful. >> it was the first time the president denounced the threats. he was asked about them last week at a news conference. >> i haven't seen anybody, in my community, either yourself or anyone on your staff of the anti-semitic -- what we are concerned about and what we haven't really heard addressed is an up tick in anti-semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it. >> you see, he said he was going to ask a very simple, easy question. and it's not. it's not a simple question. not a fair question.

okay. sit down. i understand the rest of your question. so here is the story, folks. number one, i am the least anti-semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. >> the executive director of the ann frank center for mutual respect called yesterday's statement, quote, a pathetic asterisk of condescensio north of after weeks in which he and his staff have committed gr ete grotesque acts and owe missions reflecting anti-semitism. >> most people i know want anybody who is here illegally who has committed crimes sent back. most people agree on that. this policy seems to take it one step further than that. does it? >> three steps further than that. it doesn't change the law. the law is the same as it has been for recent administrations. it's a big shift in attitude not only from the obama administration but also from the george w. bush administration. >> how so?
8:05 am
>> both those administrations said if you committed a crime and you're here illegally, you should get deported. this has greatly expanded the pool of people who are at risk of deportation and it's expanded the pool of people at risk for fast-track deportation without court hearings. >> the front page of usa today, you blare this headline, u.s. could deport millions of people. really? the white house says we're not talking about mass deportation. what is it? >> because the white house says they're not going to do that now. but it opens the door to this. you cannot have -- mass deportation, you could define that in different ways. this isn't going to happen at least until they hire new agents, expand the number of immigration judges, increase detention facilities. but this sets a policy much greater, many more deportations than we've seen in the last decade. >> this could create a climate of fear in the immigrant community if it hasn't already. >> i think it already has. our reporting from alan gomez in

miami reports the kind of fear we see with illegal immigrants and a few scattered cases like in california, the mother who had been here more than a decade was deported, has raised great alarms. remember, two-thirds of illegal immigrants have been here at least a decade. they're really part of the fabric of our life. although, admittedly, they're here illegally. >> but they've been contributing citizens to this country. >> many of them. and illegal immigrants, crime rates are lower than others. >> is it giving more authority to local law enforcement officials as well? >> that's right. to expand some of these partnerships with local law enforcement officials that have been reduced in the obama administration. and it also gives more power to immigration agents to say i think you're a threat to national security. you're a threat to public safety. therefore, you are subject to deportation. >> we've been reporting about

the heat that republican lawmakers are receiving at these town halls while they're home for the recess. i heard it said it's more astroturf than grassroots. meaning it's kind of fake protests. nevertheless, those are people in those districts who have turned out. what's the practical effect? is it like the tea party protests? >> this reminds me of when democrats tried to dismiss the tea party movement as something that was cooked up by conservative activists. they're running to get ahead of this parade, right? women's march, those big demonstrations on the second weekend of president obama's tenure, those were not generated by organizations. now, organizations -- organizations are not trying to take advantage of this. but this certainly reflects concerns that republicans are hearing. >> donald trump is calling them so-called republican -- so-called angry crowds are actually, in numerous cases,
8:08 am
planned out by liberal activists. is that what you're seeing, generating these protests? >> in some cases. but i was back in my hometown of wichita to talk to the girl scouts. and there's still a lot of support for president trump and the feeling that he's doing what he said he was going to do. but also a little unease about some of the fights that he has picked. >> susan page, thank you so much. >> thank you. anti-pipeline activists in north dakota could face arrests today if they don't move out of their camp. it's nearing completion, the nearly $4 billion project will carry oil from the dakotas to illinois. protesters are concerned about potential damage to the environment and native american cultural sites. omar villafranca is near ball, north dakota. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

we keep lean body mass the better it will be over time. there's no magic food or supplement. the key is hard work. sxie exercise and moving around. >> are you saying testosterone replacements, with the risks, are a bad idea? >> i think that the data show that in people with low testosterone, taking testosterone has minimal short-term effect on sexual potency. not nearly as good as the viagra or cialis of the world. when you look at all those in total it certainly pushes against taking testosterone for low t. >> and men looking for the fountain of youth? i know a couple of those guys. >> ain't nothing wrong with that. >> everybody is looking for the fountain of youth. >> but does it help, david? >> no, it doesn't. but exercise, diet, all the things we know about, certainly benefit. >> nothing wrong with a little
