dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel, thank you for being with us. >> great to see you, ainsley. this junk? >> no. i actually would start with alex a caesar did, look what we have already. ainsley: cheapest plan under obamacare. >> under the cheapest $12,000 deductible for the family. you get to the doctor's office you can't even use the thing. premiums for a single person at the age of 30 is now averaging in 2013, $400 a month. how many 30-year-olds can afford that in reality not getting any healthcare. is he right. what the trump administration is now offering are skinny plans. if you don't want to pay for the other, you don't want to get forced into this essential benefits coverage where you are paying for older, sicker people basically and you are mortgaging your future for that as a young person, now maybe can you get something with a lower premium, sheep cher and it doesn't cover as many things. ainsley: who would be in favor of that democrats because they are in favor of obamacare and they don't at this point in time to fail. 30-year-olds consider afford this new skinny pl

dr. marc siegel joins us right now. what does this mean? >> it is the ban i don't know brain indicator.p when you have damage to the brain. the pentagon studded for us. they looked at 2,000 people, over 95% sensitivity, meaning 95% of the time if you have damage to the brain you're going to see these proteins go up. you know what that means for us? 2.8 million visits for head trauma to the emergency room we'll do more, who should we do a cat scan on, who shouldn't we, who should we do an mri on, who we shouldn't be. if you have the proteets up you may have actual brain damage and a if you don't you may not. we overdo tests. may decrease tendency to overdo the test. you could have a concussion, no actual brain trauma, brain damage, bleeding in the brain, some lesion in the brain, you could still have a mild concussion have the proteins elevated but if they're up, we worry. that is something that the fda has now given us an additional tool. imagine that, a simple blood test will tell us we better scan you. charles: so the applications for this, you know, can we be proactive with this? so

dr. marc siegel also the author of "swine flu the new pandemic." good to see you. >> good to see you.if you already had it this season can you get it again. >> first question did you really had it. last week or so everybody coming in thinks they have the flu. i have a cough. i have the flu. i'm congested. i have the flu. you don't have the flu. you proible have bronchitis or cold or respiratory infection. fatigued and muscle aches and have to lie down and high fever and sniffles that's probably the flu. i can tell. ask your physician. make sure a physician says to you you have the flu or get tested for the flu. that's how you know you have the flu. and then you can definitely get it a second time ainsley because the strain that's been causing all the problems this year is stuarting to diminish and we're getting a second strain h1n1 starting to come up more and that's another strain. new one strain, you can get another strain. ainsley: if you get the flu shot does it only cover one strain or several strains in that shot. >> that's a great question. that flu shot covers three or four st

dr. marc siegel to explain what the trump administration is doing and why. >> first of all they're recognizing is a problem. the problem is that, for example, a 30-year-old under a bronze plan this year in 2018 is averaging $400 a month in premiums. a 30-year-old. many of them can't pay $400 a month. a 50-year-old is averaging $600 a month. you get into the doctor's office and a bronze plan is $8,000 deductible so you aren't even getting any real coverage. these are for the unsubsidized patients in obamacare on the exchanges. the trump administration is saying we're getting rid of the individual mandate. why don't we provide alternative skinny plans where it is more of an ala carte menu. you get the healthcare you may actually need. the coverage you need for yourself depending on how healthy you are and what your underlying condition is rather than 10 essential benefits which covers everybody else. and again 5% of americans use 50% of the healthcare. those sick being covered by healthy young people. >> sandra: as a medical professional you're a fan of what you're hearing so far being proposed

dr. marc siegel is a professor of medicine. horrible to have you under these circumstances.ave an update with the situation with the hospital that took in victims. >> i've been hearing from the broward health medical center. they also have -- they had seven patients and two life threatening. broward north which we heard from last night took in nine victims -- eight plus the shooter. three were in life threatening and three in non-life threatening. the three have been in and out of the operating room and started to stabilize them. the three that are in critical condition have unstable vital signs. >> sandra: we'll continue to pray for them and their recovery. you have some information about the effects of a bullet from an ar14. >> here is the issue. a lot of it is hemorrhaging because you damage blood vessels. what people out there don't know is a lot of these blood vessels are damaged indirectly because a rifle like this, the bullet travels three times the speed of a handgun. when it enters the body it does something called -- it creates a large path. give you an idea. if it

dr. marc siegel explains, next. >> the market is up and running s&p and nays dak all up nicely dow up 118p close to 200 points earlier. we've lost a bit of the wind in our sails but up nicely half a percent across the board. now this google developing a software that could predict your risk of heart disease just by scanning your eye i love it. correspondent dr. mark seeing it will okay doc how does it this work? >> a lot to it actually and they published it in the nature biomillion journal and started with google and life sciences an they put together information looking over o 250,000 are retinas to figure out what your risk of developing heart disease heart attack or stroke over a five-yeesh period is and they found got it within 70%. now til tell you why i believe that. and why it is a great idea because you know what happens when i look at the retina of the eye i'm looking at blood vessels i can see signs that you're a smoker i can see sign of diabetes. i can tell you what your age is because retina age as a certain way. cholesterol -- no exactly right and guess what all of those thin
