12:05 pm
you focus morend think with the people of your stateore and health care policy and how it makes individual peop and faces come befe you and i think you do a betr job of legislating. now at's very optimistic say, let's see if it works during the amendment procs in e finance committee is goi to haveo be substantial and successful to make the bill bstantially better than it is. >> charlie: you're n hay wi the bacas recommendatis. >> no, i said that and i sai it won't vote for it as it is today. otr people said that in the meeting. you see, it isn'that it is today buwhat change us maken the amendment process and knowg you'll have all republicans ybe minus one voting against you. that can make it better and
12:06 pm
hopefully something th i could vote for becau it's a tter product. >> charlie: are you gog to vote for a bill that doesn't include a publioption? >> you know, i would be ha-pressed too. i'd behard-pressed to. people say there'swo ways of looking at a public option,one the president just said very well a that is th it's not the government taking it over, it's not- is just an entity. it doesn't give government money. itas tget money from its premiums from the ople who decideo go with it and it's nogoing to have to make profit. it's a totally nonprofit insurae company, insurance entitynd that in turn force and people will comeo derstand this more and more as me goes by thatit force other surance companies to lower the cost of tir insurance. at's the whole point of it.
12:07 pm
you can't just put another insurance company t tre but one that doesn't have t make profit or pay attention to wl stet just pay attention to consumers and they're needs and have lower coast coast lower co? charlie: and the quality will be as good tt's private companies. >> it h to be. the predent said that. >>hat if it drives theprivate companies out of usiness. >>t will never happ. it's not st the presint but others have said t coressional budget office it will never ce cle to driving e giant insurance compaes out business. now iave my moments sometimes when i wh that wld hapn becae of insurance practis.
12:08 pm
is fellow from cigna came before the congress committee and became a sort of a folkero antalked about their responsibility a his responsibility t and he grew sickf it from purging people from the rol and finding -- thiss overdramaticut it w ue and someone had acne when they were younger an therefore they don't qualify being insured. thgs that are horric and alwaysappened in americand der the radar >> crlie: is that going to chge? >> you're da right it's going to have to change or it won't get my vote. >> charlie:o you believe there will be health care reform in is congress, first question? i want very much to. charlie, you're aski me a favor question and i'm not givi you a fair answer but t best can i hope so but it will have be better product coming out of
12:09 pm
finance. fince committee has a particular kd of a weight in all of this. then you say maybe it doesn't comeut of finance committee so we but so whatecause youan have amendments the floor and you conference with the house and get together. acally, it doesn't work nearly as easily as it sounds. it's very hard with blue dogs the house an if the house ives us to the left you ve get60 people to pass thi vote and some of them cld drop off if we do get pushed toouch tohe left. it's all very delicate, 59-60 type process. hence the tension and hence the fun and e excitement. >> charlie: if you don't have the 60o you have any problem with gog to a reconciliation? >> i don't. at's also not easy becau of the bird re, senator robert
12:10 pm
seberg my colleaguewhich means everything has to paid for and that all points. i'm not denigratingthe republicans but you know when yohave none of them voting for you -- th you, it does make life a littl hard and does make you me skeptic saying you have the use, senatend use but when every single thg is challenged or filibusted, we have to get 60 votewhich means you got tget more tn we have. we've got to t a republican or two republicans or notose two or three democrats who are particularly conservative. it's hard. it's hard stuff. >> charlie: e democrat said that theroblem is tt democrats are being asked to support a bipartin bill tha
12:11 pm
doesn't have any bipartisan support. >> you sort of hit the nail on e head, in fact y sort of nailed tough the floor. we havehe stimulus bill which most democrats voted for and one reblican and it was referred to as a bipartisanbill. you know, in truthin leing it wa't really correct on the vote in health cares wit a republican vote than that repuican vote is magnified in its size because coun'tave got d the 60 votes without the republican vote. charlie: what do olympia snowe needso go for this? >> don't know but she's the most popur person on the floor of the senate.
12:12 pm
from the repubcan point of vi she's the leastpolar. i have endless symthy for her and i've sn heron the floor taking tgh votes that siding with the democrats and the pressure the republan caucus is able to bring on its members is something to democratan understa. 's interesting otherwise but substaively. when clinton wa president and theycaucused to discuss policy for two hours and he president came iand the georg mitchell said respectfully, mr. president, we have our role, you have your role. you have yr own re bute want to discuss policy and we want to do it as a legislative
12:13 pm
branch, would you plse leave and it was somhing i'll ner forget the psident and the secret service hustling out of the democratic offi room but that's separation of powers. now dk cheney on the other handeverissed a repubcan caucus hencehe terrible pressure wn wwere investigatg were ere chemical weapons in iraq and all of it as far a health care reform >> charlie: was it inevitable because health ce was so tough itould be thisay or have therbeen oer judgments made earlier that would have made this smooth sailing? >> probably but that'sot where we are. >> charlie: exactly. >> i'm not going to worry about at. legislating a controversial subjects and legisting health
12:14 pm
care, above all inclung milita policyiscomplex. it is possible to say wh all respect my colleagues the probly aren't mor than ten percent ofhe congress and housend senate that understand the weeds o health car what you really do have to undersnd at a deep leve in orr to make good public licy. or bad public policy but you have to know what you'r talking about. >>harlie: some aue, lot of republicans dot want to see health care reform because they thinkhe president wou benefit and his party significantlyin the next congressiona elections. >> i thi that i a very strong factor. a very strong factor. and i hate toay that becau i
12:15 pm
am very rching acrosshe aisle and everything've been able to do is because i' been able to do with republicans so i hate to make statementike that but it's the nate of the -- a the things goi on,ll e presidents programs, the recession, people being angry, ople not having work, people t liking congress,ot trting government,hen still government plays major role in their lives. i me, i say to people y get govement out of health carry say you wt medicare to o? u want medicate to go and the v.a. sysm to disapar? bupeople don't have to look at it that way. they can ve feeling and can simplify the feelings becaus it's eaer to have a strong negati feeling. charlie: the billhat might get through thisongress wl
12:16 pm
satisfy -- will be 70% of wha ja rockefeller wanted to s d what do youhink that you wanted that you think now unlike toe there? >> let me ge you acouple examples in a time wheedicare is bei stretcd and the mecare trust funds gog to start declining in the year 2017 which is like next week in the world of healt care, i don't like congress people in the house or thesenateaking decisions of howuch a hospital r a doctor is r reimbursed for the seice they provide because it makes it political. there are ,000 lobbyist has it work on health care. that wasrue during the clinton health care bis and te today anthey all represent e lile piece of health care and that go after that healt care and they can only go back to
12:17 pm
their bosses and say i'm doing my job if ey get an increase. it's total the wrongway. the questions what's important in health care. how should you -- we need to ha more people who are geriatricians because erica is getting older and they train to do th and they o so mh for their certification ando it a fewears and gointo something else to make more money. i won't try to explainit but it'sed m 'smedpack a group of officia has itnow health care policy cold. they don't give ahoot about lobbyistand they canake these decisions, how mucho you reburse a hospital, not just fee-for-service which weeed to start getting away fm but reimburse em in terms of how
12:18 pm
are they're outcom. how mu recidivism and do people need return to hospits oroctors because they didn't dohe job right in the fit place are they spendingoo much on mris becausit's a prestige thing wh you can dohe same thing withet scan. is is where profeionals who are dde detached from policy. and gail medski and they all trust her and so do and he's a republican and she know it cold and you get themto beef up sure staff to do the resrch on wha needto be reimbursed at a higher rate, same rate or maybe a lor rate, people not taking
12:19 pm
advantage medicare and i'll give you anxample. ophthalmologist. we did something back in 1989 toll reduce speciaies and bring up primary ce fissions and obns and that kind of ing and lasers had been invented to people were having thei eyesight problems treated by laser but the doctors were still chargin what they used to chargehen theywere doing procedures, operatio on eyes. well, wetopped that. you he to stop at. there isn't th kind of era money to throw around. >> charlie: hers what's interesting to me, you just heard the president say doctors and nurses are in favor of ts but you are saying als that this health care reform that you expect to see and hope to see and believe will go a long way
12:20 pm
will changthe way these doctors practice medice. >> i thinkthat's true. >> charlie: d they're in favo of that it will ke their life etter? >>yes. fit of all, we need to get away from fee-for-service ands the re you provide theore fees you get. >> charl: therefore you get things you may or may not need. >> that's correct. >> they did a survey in the journal ofedicine did a survey, extraordinary results, 20% physicians, doctors in thisountry want asingle-payer system. >> charlie: 20%? >> and incling that number up 80% are in favor of the public option. now explain that to me charlie? they want th system to change. they want it to change. they want competitiono become more acute. they wan oversight to be more
12:21 pm
penetrating toead to betr results, better outcomes, l ese things which are subject to words people don't want to hear but which are really important r good health care. >> crlie: he one ise i see ople tking about and certainly people writing about health care is ty think t numbers are ju not going work. >> well, i mean, y know, i don't have to accept that do i? that's why ou billn the senate which i'm not satisfied with you at the finance committee comes in at about at $100 blion lesshan what peop were saying we'd do was we wanto as the say bend the curve. save money and reduce deficit, duce debt over a period of
12:22 pm
years. we'll have to do thatin ma areain order to survive. that's t argument for efficiency and not having fee for servic that's the argument forot having intelligencoversight in group of calm professnal oversight what works and wha doest and what doctors are doina good job. we need more geriatricians and obgyns and real health practitioners an centers so let's give them more money as an intensive. that's theay you use professionals and specifically don't use congss whoever's working on them andthat's a little unfair and unkind to y but if you have lobbyists working down lg enough and you don't know how to arg back they'll probably do what ty say because they me a good case it ll be good for your
12:23 pm
constituts. they may berong and i wt loyists and congressmen out of the process an i think the president agrees with this. >> crlie: we know certain stat operate more efficntly than oers and there are differens in regions do yo buy you ough to be able touy yournsurance in any state you want to? >> n i'll tell you exactly why d i'll make some pple in oklaho mad when i say this. i come from weirginia and let'say i y aealth insurance policy from a company in west virginia a our overite of heah insurance tends to be pret good, ptty rigoro. now suddenly i'm attract to somethg in oklahoma because they p up a good sales job on me or something. in oklama i bet they do hardly anyregulating at all, and i'm
12:24 pm

12:25 pm
their risk andake more money. >>harlie: well -- >> it's a hard business. it's a ha-edged business involving the most sensitive part, prious part of people's lives. >> charlie: when will we know what bill we're going t see? how long's this going totake? >> i don care how long it' going to take to do it. you want me to say it will be soon, next week or two months. i want it to be right. i nt a real irovement in health care and ts if the senate process and finance committee and i have a 17 i m fer and another 17 i may offer and others fl this is my way and this is my chae not being part of e gang of six to introduce what ieel strongly about andtry to get pport for it and if i carry a majority of the votesven if it's just a majority of one my polic
