. >> senator angus king told fox news on sunday that the president of wellpoint, one of the big nationalnsurance companies, said a couple of weeks ago the sign-ups are getting younger by the day. could that not be a sign of the laws of effectiveness, that more healthy young people are in rolling, which is supposed to reduce future premium increases? >> that has been a concern to the insurers. they have not gone to the zone they want the mix of young versus old to be there. there has been late stage improvement because the people least likely to sign up or wait until the last minute tend to be the young people they have been trying to get. they are not yet at the levels they would like to reach. >> the affordable care law, if it were to be repealed, what would happen to the millions of people who signed up for coverage echo -- coverage? >> that is a serious issue. that is why the republicans have to do more than just say, let's erase the entire slate and not do anything more to replace it. the ministration achieved and -- the minimum goal, what will you do for me and do not leave me witho

angus king making a different point and trying to say this isn't nothing to do with the government atese are the insurance companies who have made these decisions, he suggests, on their own. in providing the policy. they are the ones who should be blamed. >> there is something though about this push back on a republican alternative there are about 20 plans out there. there hasn't been unity around one. >> look that's really hard to do. because, look, it it's not a concern idea to want to go after and revolutionize a sixth of the american economy in one in the first place. that's a liberal idea. i think the whole problem with obamacare is if you wanted to go after a section, the uninsured, you could have done it narrowly in a specific way and not change everything. so, it's sort of -- conservatives are uncomfortable with the whole idea of replacing the grandness of obamacare. and that's why they had to work on specific details of it one by one. >> republicans have talked about healthcare reform for years and now it's time to walk the walk. >> that is it for the panel. stay tuned for a

i watched angus king, who is the biggest fraud because he claims to be an independent, a harry reid dupe health care is the same Ñithing. that's what the american people are ready to riot over. >> this week, we had a new health care plan put out there, as we have been saying for months on your show, the republicans have to step forward with an alternative to obamacare. >> can weñr talk about that rig scott: appears buster's been busy. man: yeah, scott. i was just about to use the uh... scott: that's a bunch of ground-up paper, lad! scotts ez seed uses the finest seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere! looking good, lad! man: thanks, scott. ez seed really works! so, how come haggis is so well behaved? scott: 'cause he's a scotty. man: oh. scott: get scotts ez seed. it's guaranteed. seed your lawn. seed it! so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 a month? yup. all 5 of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're working deals all day. you get 10 gigabytes of data to share. what about expans

joining us now from maine, angus king, an independent, one of the senators proposing the fixes and here in studio, wyoming senator john barasso and a doctor. the white house announced more than six million people now total have signed up for private health insurance on the exchanges including 1.8 million so far just in march. but they still have no numbers for how many people have paid for coverage, how many so-called young invincibles have signed up nor how many people have signed up who were previously uninsured. senator, given that, how much is this six million number actually mean? >> i don't think it means anything, chris. i think they're cooking the books on this. people want to know the answers. they also want to know once this is said and done, what kind of insurance will those people actually have? will they be able to keep the doctor they want? how much more is it going to cost them? we know that some of the best cancer hospitals in the country want very little to do with people that actually buy this insurance on the obamacare exchanges. >> let's stick with -- >> chris. >> wa

let's take a look at one senate senator, angus king.e writes -- next call comes from our line for republicans. she is from lancaster, ohio. hello. i don't know about the deadline. it is kind of silly. if you are really really poor are disabled, you are taking care of. when i started working -- i will be 52 -- my insurance cost me $18 per month when i was 22 years old. the government is doing now, they keep sending me all this stuff to sign up for different things but i already have insurance. --t, let's look at a love let's look at a couple of other tweets. why anyone would object doesn't make sense. richer -- is richard rogers -- our next caller is michael on our line for democrats. he is calling from new orleans. caller: one of the things people need to understand is that the republicans have made an issue of this before it was even a law. they put so much misinformation out there and i didn't think our people -- didn't think the people of our country was so out of touch they would fall for it hook line and sinker. this law was design

angus king, who calls himself an independent, but sides with the democrats as well.n talked about fixing it, when republicans were standing up in october and we know the government shut down afterwards. why weren't any of you six standing up saying, hey, let's make these changes? they have a point here. >> actually i have -- since the day after it passed, the copper plan was prepared last year. the incentives i've talked about several times. the one in this package is revamped. what i find and honestly, it's interesting, if this was not such a political hot potato, this issue of health care, i'm talking individuals privately, republicans who like what we're doing, just yesterday senator crapo and senator mccain have said we need to make changes and they made comments about our proposal. i think it's just the political environment, it's so toxic. i wish we would get to legislating and focus on what we want to tweak here. >> a lot of people argue that comes from the president who go out and vilify and have partisan attacks rather than look at and say there might be som

deeper into obamacare tomorrow on fox news sunday when chris wallace will be sitting down with angus kingohn barrasso. >>> the doctor is in. he is revealing his habits for to you lead a healthy life. >> it explains why there is no such thing as a short cut paving the road to a healthier you. >>> finally, a prescription with simp simple accessible strategies to help us live longer and healthier lives. short guide to a long life to tell us some of those helpful habits. dr. david agus. congratulations. i must say, this is incredibly well organized and imminently readable. and you can actually pick up section to section and go back and forth and then come back to it, i like it, what you pull out of this, i got out of it, is that good health depends on daily habits? >> you're in charge of your own health. i want you to know yourself and develop habits that really can prevent disease. keep talking about care, let's talk about prevention. >> you divide this book up into three major sections, so we produced those on the screen for our viewers to read along while you talk about it. section number

bill: your sparring partner was angus king, a independent senator from maine.e is what he said is happening inside on the sign-ups. >> president of wellpoint, big national insurance companies said a couple weeks ago that the sign-ups are getting younger by the day. younger people not surprisingly are the last people to sign up. i suspect that is who is signing up today and tomorrow. bill: so is that true or does he just suspect that? the administration said for a long time that young people are the last to do it. so would you, or is it possible they are getting this last-minute surge here? go. >> they may be having a late-minute surge but they are woefully behind the numbers even kathleen sebelius said they needed, they needed 40% of those signing up had to be these younger, healthier group. the insurance companies also say, the white house has the numbers, about how many people have paid and that is why i say the white house is cooking the books because they're not being open. they're not being transparent. they won't tell the american people the numbers of ho

i just returned from a trip in lebanon with angus king of maine. we went together because we serve together on committees. fortune relations committee and he is on the intelligence committee. e took a trip where we spent time in israel, palestine, lebanon and egypt. we were ays i think probably most excited about the trip to lebanon because neither there.ad been we have strong feelings about the situation there but we felt needed to ground those feelings and thoughts with some reality check. of that trip i do feel very strongly that the hearing is apt. the syrian conflict about which put so much time in foreign elations and armed services is for syria but in the american ress and telling of the story about syrian effects lebanon is often an overlooked neighbor about spect to stories the syrian crisis. lebanon has been extremely welcoming syrian refuse and it has paid the highest price in terms of stability and security of the country. lebanon deserves our attention and continued investment and partnership partnership, and if we do that the right wa

and angus king, the independent from maine, he's one of the five democrats and angus king the independenting point to say, hey, we tried to change it. >> good question. hope you get it out of him. thanks a lot. >> you bet. bye, guys. >>> 18 minutes after the hour. coming up on "fox and friends weekend," a soldier serving overseas ends his tour early. why? to be a hero here at home. wait until you hear this story. >>> and this was not the reaction the parents were hoping to get when telling their son he was getting another sister. >> it's a girl? >> yes. >> oh! i don't want a girl! >> it's all right. >> that video went viral and that family, there they are. they are live with us to talk about it, coming up. >>> it was not the reaction these parents were hoping for when they told their son he was getting another sister. >> it's a girl! it's a girl! it's a girl. it's a girl? >> yeah, it's a girl. >> oh. oh. >> it's okay, john. it's all right. >> i don't want another girl. i don't want another girl. >> you had the same reaction i did, bud. >> i don't want a girl. >> it's all right. >> i'm not

i just returned from a trip in lebanon last week with senator angus king of maine. we went together because we served together on -- serve together on armed services and budget committees, but i'm on the foreign relations committee, and senator king's on the intelligence committee. we spent time in israel, palestine, lebanon and egypt. and in some ways i think we were probably most excited about the trip to lebanon because neither of us had been to lebanon, we have strong feelings about situation there, but we felt like we needed to ground those feelings and thoughts with some reality check. and on the basis of that trip, i do feel very strongly that the title of this hearing is apt. lebanon is at a crossroads. syrian conflict about which we spend so much time in foreign relations and armed services has devastated sir or ya, many of its neighbors, but at least in the american press and in the telling of the story about syrian effects, lebanon is often an overlooked neighbor with respect to stories about the syrian crisis. lebanon's been extremely generous in welcomi

i watched angus king of maine is it? he made a lot of the really important points about the science. there's no disputing the fact that carbon levels in the atmosphere have almost doubled in the last 10,000 years. they are now at 400 parts per million. we were at 200 parts per million. the carbon levels are going to continue to go up in the atmosphere as we continue to burn oil and coal and natural gas. he talked about the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is excess carbon dioxide. it is dissolving into the oceans and causing ocean acidification which is messing up the development of sea life. that is a scientific fact. we are talking about glaciers melting all over the world. that is a scientific fact. sea levels are rising all over the world, that is a scientific fact. to me, is it 97% of scientists believe that global warming is happening? that is because it is man-made global warming. there isn't any debate anymore in the science community. now is just a question of how fast is it going to go. some are predicting two

maybe that's the reason why senator angus king who clearly was saying i want to fix obamacare and wentetails on that, first said this. >> there is no such thing as obamacare. you can't sign up for obamacare. you sign up for an anthem policy or wellpoint policy. it is private insurance. >> he went on to say the private insurance, check out my copper plan. my copperç plan, oddly enough has a lot of principles republicans wanted to begin with. buy insurance across state lines. be a lot less money in terms of of investment but your premiums will be less. whatever you do, don't bring up the fact that harry reid is not going to entertain any of the changes the democrats want to make. >> right. the front end of that answer there, we've seen democrats backing away from obamacare as of late, seeing mid term elections on the horizon. here we have an independent backing so far away that he can't even say it exists. qzuÑ is because there'sg his own state. >> senator john barraso -- >> who is a doctor. >> take a listen. >> in senator king's own state, the most popular plan is not able to be sold a
