david shiner, told the president for about 20 years. he claims the plan is bound to fail because -- less than one hour from now, he holds a news conference. we will listen in and that you know when he speaks. megyn: this is a fox news alert. new weekly unemployment numbers. for its second week in a row they are higher than expected. claims rising 25,000 last week to a seasonally-adjusted 584,000. these numbers coming out just as we get word that some of these lost jobs will not be coming back any time soon. stu varney is here with some answers. how do we know that? what jobs are not coming back until 2015? >> i have some numbers from the "wall street journal" looking and when individual states will get back to the good old employment days of the summer of 2007. some states will be in a run situation for the better part of a decade. michigan, ohio, indiana -- they will not get back to the same jobs picture that they had in 2007 until 2015 and beyond. those are industrial states joined by rhode island and connecticut. i counted all the wa

work. >> yeah, hi. >> reporter: chicago doctor david shiner has taken a hard look at president obama'sd medicine. >> this isn't that kind of health care program that is going to work. >> reporter: what makes dr. shiner so special? he was barack obama's personal physician for 22 years, he voted for mr. obama, but the doctor thinks the president's plan doesn't go far enough. >> if i had to say the single one thing, which is the worst part of it, is that private insurance companies continue to be a part of the health scheme. everybody keeps saying we don't want the government getting involved in health care, the governed is involved in health care in medicare and it works. >> reporter: shiner would rather see us adopt a single payer system, something an up and coming state senator obama talked about years ago. >> i happen to be a proponent of single payer universal health care. but as all of you know, we may not get that immediately because first we've got to take back the white house, and we've got to take back the senate, and we've got to take back -- >> reporter: but during that campai

david shiner doesn't like the president's proposal. he feels it is a succession of compromises. that strikes me that his own physician is worried about this, especially in the cost structure of it. miguel, your thoughts on this? >> because it is a succession of compromises, i don't think the doctor knows what we are talking about. i don't think president obama knows what we are talking about. there are so many things going around that nobody knows exactly what is being proposed. the american public certainly don't know and that is causing the problem an the confusion. if the president had a definitive plan this is exacerbateexactly what i want instead he is saying let's see what comes about and i will take credit for it. the american people can see through it. >> tara, your thoughts? >> i think he should have done more on the front end to listen to what constituents and taxpayers and americans are saying. this plan is not palatable. 56% don't want an overhaul. >> 72% said they want the public option. you can find a poll that says anything about because people don't know -- >> th

david shiner treated the president for more than 20 years. today while speaking at the national press club, he said the single pair system like the federal government is the only way to go. >> there's just -- we don't want the government between the patient and the doctor. how many times do we hear that? like all the time. medicare never gets between me and my patients. the message hasn't gotten through. as long as his program has private health insurance, it is not going to work. the majority of it is going to be private health insurance. well very to have all the extra help working on these -- on this paperwork which is just constant. >> he believes the. is in favor after single pair system but is compromising his position out of fear it would not get passed. >>> fears of a swine flu outbreak have local schools getting ready. many experts have predicted the virus could make a very strong comeback this fall. a vaccine is still in the works but local schools are not waste anything time. fox 5's clawedafter coffey has more on the swine -- clau

david shiner was mr. obama's personal physician for 22 years. part of the plan is that private insurers are still a part of it. he also thinks that a government-run insurance option will be a tough sell. >> we don't even know fully what the public option is going to be. if the public option is too good, patients who are sick will flock to it. and i'm not sure it will be able to support itself. i just hope congress and the american public and the president will hear some of my words. we've got to do something. >> well, shiner supports what is called a single-payer system like the ones in canada and europe. he's going to join other doctors on capitol hill today to push for it. >>> some terrifying moments for people on an american airlines flight. minutes after that plane took off in st. louis, a bird got sucked into one of the engines, and the pilot was able to turn around and land it. but people on board admit they were very nervous. >> i was holding on to my husband, telling him he loved him, and he has had pilot's training and he stayed calm, s

>> his name is david shiner, and he is here in washington. president's physician for 20 years and voted for him. but he weighs in on this issue about health reform. he wants to see a single-payer plan where you have one entity overseeing all payments. the president has stopped short of that, that we're over hauling a big chunk of the economy and we cannot afford this. the doctor says that when he deals with private insurance, it is trouble all the time. he says the only time he has a good experience is with medicare, which is essentially a government-run. so this official says that that is the way we should go, people need to stop being so afraid of it. jane: lawmakers are having to use creative accounting to balance the books. here are a few examples. in washington state, they assume public employees will stay on the job lager and die sooner than expected. that is supposed to save the state $45 million. california says about $1.2 billion will be saved by paying state workers one day later than usual, shifting the payroll costs to the next fi
