now, somebody brought up the fact whether the ama can step in. i don't have too much faith in the ama because if you read the reports a lot of doctors come out in support for this guy and i have no idea why they would put their reputation on the line. i'm not really against licensing as i am against him seeing patients. maybe fulfill a purpose behind the scenes. taking a look at x-rays. where he has no direct patient contact. because that's the problem where it becomes an issue. >> and as the story goes, he's practicing family medicine and his bosses found out. so they wanted a chaperone with him when there were physical examinations. he didn't comply with that. we mentioned red flags. anita, that's a red flag right there. >> absolutely. i do disagree. i don't think he should have a medical license at all because it tarnishes the entire medical profession. even if he's looking at x-rays, it's tarnishing the entire medical profession. people who work very, very hard to get where they are. he should not be -- the license is a privilege. he went to

so the ama feels very strongly that we need to make sure that every american has affordable, quality health insurance coverage and then we can also look at how do we reduce the unnecessary cost to pay for it? defensive medicine and the administrative waste that right now dries up health care costs both for the insurer, the doctor, and the hospital as well as the patient. >> larry: ben stein, are we ever going to see it? >> i think we'll see it eventually. i don't think we need to smash the whole system and start afresh the way president obama tried to do it. i go back again and again to saying the problem is poor people who don't have health insurance. >> larry: i know. >> why don't we just give them money to have health insurance? i don't think we're ever going to get the waste out of the system. i've been hearing about getting waste out of government expenditures and medical expenditures my whole life. they never do it. it gets worse and worse. it's never going to stop. let's give poor people money to buy insurance policies and let them not die and let them not be sick. >> larry: t

. >> according to the sponsors, the bill has the backing of the ama, nurses, and the maryland state policeaid they are not taking a position on this issue. >> it will probably take another couple of days before the storm to completely wind down. it is still sending snow showers down the mid atlantic. it will take a while. the french effects will be across the area consistently for the next couple of days. the center of the storm is over the eastern sections of long island. it is a broad area of low pressure in that stretches back to the great lakes, producing snow almost back to chicago. a broad area of low pressure is sending waves of snow back into the great lakes and almost to chicago, and as far south as the appalachians and down to central virginia. it will take a few days for the huge storm to weaken and move out of the picture. the watches come warnings, and advisers will be coming down, but a scattering of advisories and warnings through new england. whiteout conditions still possible from western allegheny into parts of garrett county. limited visibility, traveling up into the mou

> we kept michael's -- when michael did the last one, we requested him to be right there after the ama'sfor the rest of the people. he was there right on time and he did it. he doubled it. now we have got janet singing with him. >> but to have his voice in there, i must tell you, to have his presence, i was -- i must admit, he was missed last night just in body. but i must tell you, to have his voice in there was just inspiring. >> what about -- >> larry: what about having rappers instead of rockers? >> we got all of them. >> the funny thing -- >> we had everything this time but also, going to put it on the back of the record, a fantastic poem that was requested by a doctor michael's mother written by maya angelou. it is incredible. it ends with "we are, you are, we are the world." . right. >> so organically connected. as i said again, lionel says, there is a lot of divine intervention there. >> yeah. >> larry: lionel there were 88 people involved in this. i understand there were half of that some years ago. is that more of a problem, having more people? >> i don't know whether we had to

so then we got into the special interests, whether it be the hospital association or the ama or othersne that was particularly egregious, and i won't go through the whole list, was pharma. pharma got an $80 billion deal for which they ran $150 million worth of ads in favor of, quote, health reform. their lobbyist was here at the white house and was reported to say in the media, "a deal is a deal." and part of that deal was that there would not be competition amongst pharmaceutical companies for medicare patients. the other -- among others, was that the administration would oppose drug reimportation from canada, a proposal that you supported in the united states senate. >> john, can i just -- >> can i just finish, please? >> yeah. >> and christmas day, i believe it was christmas, the majority leader said, quote, a number of states are treated differently than other states. that's what legislation is all about. that's compromise. compromise is not the word for that. so, when my constituents and americans now who overwhelmingly reject this proposal say go back to the beginning, they want

maybe the ama, maybe some of the medical lobbying community, the business side of the medical field. fortune 500 executives, as many people as can get pass it, and say this isn't perfect. it's bad that it was done in a partisan way it was unfortunate, but he's got to go forward. both bause i think the politics will be better for his party, but also because it's the right thing to do, it's because of what he believes. this is what he ran on. if he doesn't do it now, i don't believe he ever will, even if he serves two terms. >> rose: mark, your magazine had a cover story saying washington is frozen or whatever it was that they said on that cover story about what is wrong with washington. what happened to washington? is it simply the filibuster or is it the absence of bipartisanship, the kind of often cited relationship that tip o'neill had with ronald reagan andll of that. >> a big part of it. it is the absence of comedy and personal relationships between the leaders. it is the political media culture, the freak show culture i have called it for a while, which really celebrates and amp

president mahmoud ama indad making new threats, saying his country will deliver a, quote, harsh blow to, quote, global arrogance on february 11th. that is an important day in iran, the anniversary of the iran islamic revolution of 1979. moments ago we're hearing reports of nine more people will be executed as a result of this summer's bloody protests that you watched here on fox news. opposition leaders mushavey is promising to continue their fight for freedom, they are being courageous in this tough situation. last week, these two men, one of them was 19 or 20 years old, the other, 37 years old, if we have a picture of the two of them, we'll bring it up as soon as we can, they were hanged and their charge was that they were, quote, enemies of god for their participation in some groups that the government shouldn't approve of there. it raises serious concerns over what is going on there and what will happen on february 11th. excuse me, ambassador john bolton is former ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor. ambassador, these are very disturbing developments that are coming o

so then we got into the special interests, whether it be the hospital association or the ama or othersm that was particularly egregious, i won't go through the whole list, was phrma. phrma got an $80 billion deal and in return for which they ran $150 million worth of ads in favor of quote, health reform. there are over $2 million a year lobbyist was here at the white house and was reported to say in the media a deal is a deal. part of that deal was that there would not be competition amongst pharmaceutical companies for medicare patients. the other, among others, was that the administration would oppose drug reimportation from canada, a proposal that you supported in the united states senate. >> john, can i just say -- >> can i just finish, please? and then at christmas day, i believe it was at christmas, the majority leader said quote, a number of states are treated differently than other states. that's what legislation is all about. that's compro when my constituents who overwhelmingly reject this proposal s

they were there at the ama and some of the hospitals. >> keep your friends close. >> right.going too far into the mafia metaphors, yes. they were there. but psychologically investors didn't see it that way. and they compressed the multiples. >> the multiples got compressed about how long ago, les? ten years? eight years? >> it's been -- it nadered last year in the high single digits. >> it did. >> so we are getting some multiple expansion. and you're seeing these stocks in the transitional mode where they're doing deals and trying to get their acts together in terms of pipeline, and that's what we're seeing. >> are any of them buys for any other reason than valuation and yield? >> we like merck and novartis and bristol meyers. based on pipeline, they all have new drugs coming out. so i'd say they have things we could key off of to say, gee, these are potential blockbusters. at least revenue increases. just one point on reform, i mean, this reform may be dead for the time being, but we will inevitably get some kind of health care reform because our situation is unsustainable.

look out, ama.e 60 plus association, a conservative alternative to the aarp. please join me in welcoming our panel, heather. welcome to the panel. [applause] >> good morning. or nearly good afternoon. i wanted to let you know that i am an unlikely person to have up here because healthier had never been something on which i could focus. but when i became where of what was being snuck through in the stimulus bills last february, i decided it was income and upon me for the sake of my children and their children to do whatever i possibly could in whatever small way i could to assist in trying to stop the passage of the healthcare proposal as we saw them coming down the pipe. i deserve no credit for this. i did whatever i could in my small way to help with media or strategy or fundraising, but these were for so many different groups, and they all worked so hard and as well as there are many unsung heroes out there, individuals who did exactly what i did who pitched in and made this all possible. but it w

under ama's site last night, of course they're not your biggest ally or fan, but they reported a medicaloss ratio for well point at 84.8%, which is right at that 85% figure that was mandated in the bill. why is that for the whole company and it's different in california? >> they may be looking at statutory financial statements versus gap, the gap statements show per year end we were at 82.6, which is an enterprise wide. so i'm not sure exactly where they're 84.8. >> they tweeted it so i know it's right. let me ask you a question. i thought blue cross was a nonprofit. we have all this discussion of profits today. i always thought that blue cross was a nonprofit. >> there are many companies who have blue cross livesances. we are a for profit company. but sometimes in excess of ours. because we come together as former blue cross intnt states we've created a lot of efficiency and scale at well point so we're a more efficient blue cross plan. but we're a for profit. >> one of the areas, i'm sorry mr. waxman is gone but one of the areas where i disagree with mr. waxman but you agree with him i

but the ama, contrary to popular belief, does not speak for doctors. [applause] >> only 17 percent of doctors in this country belong to this organization, and the number is dropping like a rock. what's worse is that they have a tremendous conflict of interest when they claim to represent doctors, but instead are more interested in protecting their 75 million-dollar annual gift from the federal government in the form of a monopoly over the medical codes that every doctor and hospital use every day if they hope to get paid. [applause] >> and this is why, my friends, we formed docs for patient care. is to give doctors the voice they need but don't have. it is to look out for you, the patient. it's to tell the public things that my patients are asking, and that all of you are probably wondering and you want to hear about from your doctors. let me tell you something she might not know. things like varied deep within a senate bill, the one that president obama wants to work off and will not trash, it compels doctors to follow regulations written by the secre

so we don't want to turn that safety net into ama. that will is able-bodied and placing complacency on the government. we want people to have access to equal opportunity so they can make the most of their lives and reach their potential. that's in a nutshell is the thinking behind the plan i've been offering. with all that, and i appreciate the indulgence, is it okay for you my question time or are you done? i'll give you a couple brief questions. i took a lot of time. you agree that medicare is going too fast. it grows at 5% annually, which is 1.5% faster than the economy is projected to grow. that can be sustained. you agree with that? >> i agree with that. >> cvo silliness of this new health care bill that is soon to congress and i don't know if it's going to happen, but the most recent report from cbo says this new entitlement growth of 8%, but the provisions being used to pay for it only got 5%. the medicare savings in the tax changes grow 5% versus 8%. so aren't we already blocking and new entitlements on top of these other fund
