betsy mccoy, is it true? if your policy is canceled, are you going to stay on another policy or is it more complicated than that? >> you're required to have coverage under this law, the affordable care act, but what's happened is millions of americans who were promised that they could keep the plans they liked are being herded out of those plans. you could hear the whip cracking in the background and herded into these exchanges where they will be forced to buy the one size fits all government-design plan at a price the government tells them they can afford. >> and they might be herded out of their doctor. >> that's right and these plans on the exchanges offer you much less access to doctors. most doctors are not willing to participate because the doctors who do are being paid medicaid-type rates. you can't go to a fancy hospital like cedars-sinai in l.a. and new york presbyterian in new york. not anymore. >> bill grace, let's just pursue that for one second. >> if you go into the government exchange, you're p

stuart: betsy mccoy is here. you say that this is not just a glitch.that you cannot fix it? >> it is not a glitch. one of which that is so absurd, any woman shopping online would say let me browse. this government website did not let you browse into you entered all of your personal information up front. stuart: i log on, i give them all my personal information -- >> you have to do that before you shop. stuart: only then do they show me what is available and the price thereof. >> they wanted to avoid sticker shock. how could they show them that? your income, your household size, whether you would be eligible for a subsidy. one of the many design flaws that made this big exchange dysfunctional. it is not the exchange that will make obamacare fail. it is the employer mandate. employers are already responding to it. their obligations will be based on how many employees they have in the coming months. i have thousands of pages all around my desk. they are suffocating business. they are suffocating .yours. stuart: here is the key question, i heard words like

listen to what health-care expert betsy mccoy told us yesterday. >> is a fundamental design flaw.s so of said, any woman who has ever gone shopping online would go to j.c. penney or the target or the gap and let me browse. this government website didn't like to browse and to you enter all your personal information upfront. stuart: there are reports of new problems, insurers getting the wrong data, spouses being reported as children, missing information, defy this enrollment, bill curtis, software design company, is here on all about this. i got to have your judgment of the top. is this going to crash? seize up, is that going to happen? >> they will keep putting money into this until we get something that's sort of works. stuart: how long will it take? >> it is hard to know until you look in the system and see what is wrong. what will really happen is this will work in waves. they will get more problems fixed and you run into new problems that have to fix those. this will continue for a while. stuart: if i am going to get into obamacare i have got to be in by january. i have to be

surviving the new health care law" and former lieutenant governor of the great state new york, betsy mccoye's got the actual health care bill on her lap. famously she brings it every time. she will be answering questions you've got about obamacare. >>brian: how do we get in touch with betsy? i could yell over there. >>steve: e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com. >>elisabeth: we're going to be answering your obamacare questions this morning. before you sign up for exchanges and you want information, you can e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com or tweet us at "fox & friends" or find us on facebook. we'll be taking real-life questions. >>brian: also we'll be taking tweets and e-mails about the shutdown, how you think it's heading, who is to blame. because bob woodward points out, of all people, he says the president of the united states maybe looks like his poll numbers make him look as though he's not in the clear but less to blame. but as president of the united states in history, no one is going to remember the speaker. they are e -- they're going to remember who was president during this time and

debate the merits and flaws and joining me for this debate about obama care are sally cone and betsy mccoyrk and author of beating obama care. you two are not further apart in terms of your opinions in obama care. sally love it and betsy can't stand it. i will give you a chance to talk about the merits. sally, start wu. give me two things that you love about obama care. >> hard to pick two. i love just be clear that the polls she a strong majority of men're americans and i love no longer kicked off our private insurance because of preexisting conditions and more access to affordable private insurance thanks to the law. that's what it is doing and it is doing. >> betsy, those sound good but what is the problem? >> what i don't like about the affordable care act is the way it treats politicians. the law itself. section 1312 said that members of congress have to enroll in obama care under the theory if it is good enough for the public it should be for congress. but in august they got cold feet and the president weaseled through an illegal arrangement to give members of congress a subsidy that

>> betsy mccoy, a lot of people are fingering cgi, the u.s./canadian company -- i don't care if they're from canada, i'm a free trader. but they had screwed things up in canada, including a gun registry and health care web site and they were hide anyway. as i understand it, the bidding was so low bidding, and we're paying them $340 million. it's a gigantic number. why shouldn't they be fired? >> you can blame them but the buck should stop with secretary sebelius. she lied to congress saying this system would be functional by october 1st. >> let me rephrase. didn't the cgi people -- didn't they say they had to test and they were coming in september and the roll-out is october 1st and the testing started so late as to be irrelevant? isn't that part of this story? >> yes. and in fact, the testing of the federal data hub, which you rightly pointed out earlier in the program links date why from homeland security, the irs, department of health and human services and state agencies was tested the night before the, september 30th. imagine running a bu

betsy mccoy is former lieutenant governor of new york state and author of "beating obama care." this is a problem. >> it's not a surprise. this law is designed to vastly expand medicaid and pay for it by eviscerating medicare. taking money from medicare and moving it to fund the expansion of the entitlement. >> why would they want to expand medicaid? >> they believe in a single payer system. this is a way of shifting resources in this country from one group of people -- the the elderly -- to another group of people. >> you think this is by design. >> i have read the law. there is no question that it was by design. it would have been twice as big but the supreme court ruled a year and a half ago the states couldn't be forced to expand medicaid. >> only half did. the republicans didn't do it and the democratically controlled -- >> largely true. that's right. some of the states were very smart. they realized even though the federal government said it will pay 100% the first couple of years and 90% thereafter, politicians always break their promises. when that happens, they will pul

betsy mccoy joins us. and leslie marshall, radio talk show host and reporter of the law.me to you both. the president in 2003 before he was the president said clearly he happened to be a proponent of single payer universal health care. since he's been president he's said if we were starting from scratch i would be in favor of that. you hear harry reid say it in august. the question is as we see the roll out suffer so many problems, whether some who backed the law initially may be hoping the this thing doesn't do well because the next step might be single payer. >> the best evidence is the law itself. the text of the law which pushes the nation very far toward single payer. first of all it expands medicaid which is single payer health care for people under aged 65. the plans and exchanges are medicare plans with fan ti si labels. they are government designed plans that pay tors and hospitals as little as medicaid. so you are likely to have to give up the doctor and hospital you prefer. thirdly, this law empower it is the federal government to dictate how your doctor treats
