dr. marc siegel with us. he wants to repeal and replace. plus, we had dr.repeal and repair. so when it comes to the question of of which the things. brian: i wouldn't say repeal. ezeke zallial doesn't want to repeal. steve: he want to repair. brian: yes. steve: on the list that obamacare has made law, which of the things would dr. siegel get rid of? here is their exchange. >> i want to use the word catastrophic here because what's being outlined now is a person can come to the doctor's office, especially a young person, and get an individualized insurance solution that works for them. nerd, maybe a health savings account. maybe they want to buy a new car and they don't want to be overloaded with the premium which, by the way, as you pointed out, zeke, the government then has to subsidize. the goal there is to cover everyone else with preexisting conditions, i understand that. buff we could decrease the amount of coverage that's mandated there. >> you want to decrease the mandates. we have ten essential benefits in the affordable care act. >> i looked throug

dr. siegel.criticism aimed at your industry and the drug industry for it role in what has become a crippling epidemic. >> i blame doctors for this. almost half of the doctors strike opioids are prescribing. did you know that 70% of the vicodin prescriptions are taken ultimately than some win the wasn't prescribed for? so it becomes dicine cabet issue. four outf fiveeople who end up addicted to heroin start off with prescription opioids. their prescription runs out, somebody won't refill it anymore. they go to the streets and get a brown bag. i'm happy to see this administration about to focus on this. charles: the doctors, are they acting ignore rant to the fact that they are contributing to this? is there any way to get some honesty from the industry, in your industry? a lot of people have to know the statistics. >> one doctor in new jersey literally prescribing 60,000 pills for patients he hasn't seen. but the larger problem is for doctors who don't understand back pain. they are giving oap oid

dr. marc siegel is here. architect. dr. emanuel is here. they have a great debate.st day tar tara conner jois us live. bp developed new, industry-leading software to monitor drilling operations in real-time, so our engineers can solve problems with the most precise data at their fingertips. because safety is never being satisfied. and always working to be better. ainsley: it is a story about second chances. soon after being crowned miss u.s.a. in 2006, tara conner's world came crashing down because of substance abuse. but she says our president, donald trump came to her rescue. >> i've always been a believer in second chances. i've always been. tara is a good person. tara has tried hard. tara is going to be given a second chance. ainsley: you see her tears. now she is 10 years sober and she is spreading her message of awareness to the 22 million americans that are suffering with addiction. she has also penned a op-ed thanking president trump. joining me now is tara conner ambassador. thank you for being here and celebrating 10 years of sobriety: i'm crowned miss u.s

dr. siegel. >> thanks, stuart. stuart: casino stocks had a nice pop yesterday. why?cause the raiders are going to move to las vegas and play there? that move was approved by the nfl. that is expected to draw a whole new base of football fans going to las vegas and actually going to the casinos. that is a stretch to me. what do you say? ashley: a little bit. steve wynn says it is a game-changer. he was big wynn resorts there. eyeballs from television, more people coming to town, creates more excitement. he could be kind of you know be wishing rather than basing it on fact? you know what? it could be a good deal for vegas, we shall see. thanks very much indeed. we're about to show you video. wait for it. golf ball-sized hail falling in northern texas and southern oklahoma. see that? ashley: oh, my. stuart: those are splashes made by could be golf balls but could be hailstones in a swimming pool. 60 mile-an-hour winds. severe flash flooding. 200,000 people out of power. some location report of hail the size of tenn balls! this pretty bringing. that would hurt. >>> he re

dr. marc siegel, you disagree. >> he's worried about the cost. he's saying $64 billion were originally given for subjects does for the state exchanges falling apart that we have been talking about on this air. and wee it would be nice to roll this back and end up spending $16 billion instead of $64 billion. but senator paul is saying if you have these tax credits for people that are making under $75,000 a year, you are going to end up getting close to the $64 billion again and you are not going to save money. here is why he's wrong. the philosophy is the exact opposite. the individual mandate, the business mandate we were just talking about. that's unethical. that's roping people in to buying product that doesn't necessarily give them what it's promising. even if you say healthcare is a right. hugh does health insurance become a right? does health insurance. guarantee healthcare? not my office it doesn't. a young person is paying for services that an older person needs. liz: i understand what you are saying. >> you have need to do something uneth

dr. marc siegel. the one thing i didn't know before, how the tax credits worked. who was really mad about this? take this money of the tax credits, enter the marketplace, and buy a more cost-effective plan which is catastrophic health insurance. i don't have to pay for your mammograms and you don't have to pay for my prostate exams. i did my research, bob. the tax credit makes sense. >> eric: it is a pig by another name. a pig with lipstick. all you're saying is if you want the tax credit you have to buy insurance. but if you don't buy insurance, you're going to get a 30% increase. >> dana: isn't that at the discretion of the health insurance company? >> eric: listen to me. it's not even the government taking it. it's not paying for obamacare. >> dana: conceivably the health insurance company could decipher my competitive perspective not to if they want to won your business. >> eric: if they really want to do all this, drop the stateline issue and make it competitive. >> dana: the president said it's coming. >> eric: but they didn't say that at the beginning. all

dr. marc siegel, fox news medical correspondent, professor of medicine at nyu langone. doctor, some of these states, i was amazed. 52,000 lethal drug overdoses in 2015. i'm sure it is up in 2016 by the way. opioid addiction driving epidemic. 20,000 deaths due to prescription pain relievers. 13,000 overdose deaths related to heroin in 2015. why? >> you described the fluidity there. the prescription drug heroin, it bed. we, primary care doctors are starting people on opioids that may not need it. four out of five heroin abusers, four out of the five started with prescription drugs. so we're giving a painkiller. maybe somebody comes in with back pain or dental pain. look they're in pain. people are really in pain but we're so focused on alleviating that pain. patients are pushing us -- david: you say we, doctors, your own profession. >> i'm not just talking about doctors. almost 50% of the opioid prescriptions are written by family practitioners or internists like me. i don't believe we're experts in pain or back pain. i don't think we got that training. i know we didn't g

dr. marc siegel fox news medical a team member and professor of medicine at nyu medical center.s. >> nice to see you, he had heather. >> heather: gone through the budget committee. take a look at some of the key plans right now. key parts, individual and employer mandates. those would be repealed immediately. subsidies would be repealed and monthly tax credits. it would preserve protections for those with preexisting conditions. young people can stay on the plan. and also calls for a transition away from the current medicaid expansion, which i know you want to talk about. but, before we get to that, let's talk about repealing the mandates. you think that's a good idea. why? >> i actually think it's courageous and not that i'm against mandates. it depends what you are mandating. with obamacare you are mandating insurance that doesn't necessarily give you axis to what i offer in the doctor's office. premiums are very high. deductibles are very high. narrow networks of doctors available. so president trump is right when he says that obamacare is not working and patients should have

dr. marc siegel a professor of medicine at nyu medical center.ow it is difficult to avoid the politics of their spirit i appreciate both of you coming on. if we can just speak for a moment about what this bill aims to do, limited as it is, what would you say to our viewers, what is the one thing this bill would do when it comes to healthcare and the current state of health care in our country? >> i would say two things, first it gets rid of the individual mandate or business mandate where you come to the doctor's office and you are stuck with one or two choices, prefixed a meal if you will, you have in insurance policy that has essential benefits and it, very high premium, very high deductible, it's got a narrow network of choices, and it is dysfunctional, you cannot always use a peer we are in a country where 5% of americans are paying for 15% of the healthcare, so you can imagine there is a counter argument that says policy should not be loaded up with everything, that it should not be cost-sharing spread across the entire population. what we a

dr. marc siegel to take you through this. nice to see you and good morning.ul calls it obamacare lite. you have read this is he right about that or how does the make the point? >> what you just heard is someone saying previously you went to the doctor's office and got eaten up by a deductible. it was like a stop sign. you can't buy health care until you overfilled it and then get the care you needed. you have a green light you buy anything, common cold, scratches, you came in and overused the insurance. that's dysfunctional. it's being replaced by tax credits and rand paul is saying wait an it will cost the government as much as before and he's calling it obamacare lite. $16 billion were used for high-pools before for the pre-existing conditions. $60 billion use to subsidize the exchange and between those numbers is going to be money we'll spend on tax credits now. here's where he's wrong and here's what the difference is -- >> bill: senator paul is wrong? >> i think he's not considering these tax credits will go to people that were in the gap, the obamacare

dr. marc siegel part of the fox news medical team. broad question, how did we get here?we know which is we have leaky borders and lots of illegal drugs are coming across but four of five people on heroin started in the doctor's office who needs codeine for pain and they feel good and i still haven't involved the problem. where'd the back pain come from. could i use heat, physical therapy or acupuncture. in new jersey governor christie has started to crackdown on some of us. 31 doctors under investigation. >> bill: you write four of five heroin abusers started with prescriptions and doctors' pain training is minimal. >> we don't have enough training on back and farm it out to pain specialists who also over prescribe opioids and governor christie says it's a disease. i say it's worse. opioi opioids grab the soul. president trump talks about the look in someone's eyes who are addicted. addicts can't break it. it comes back. even if you put a person in the treatment program. it comes back. now the treatment programs if they have counseling and 12-step programs are successful

dr. marc siegel, appreciate it.dow industrials up 63 points and here is what we've got coming up for you in the next hour. chief economic advisor to president trump, very important guy, gary cohn. we'll get his take on what i'm calling today's solid jobs report. back in a moment. hi my name is tom. i'm raph. my name is anne. i'm one of the real live attorneys you can talk to through legalzoom. don't let unanswered legal questions hold you up, because we're here, we're here, and we've got your back. legalzoom. legal help is here. >> i'm going to be critical of the media again. they are just not covering what's going on in our economy. hiring really is picking up. layoffs are dropping. as we've reported so freak -- frequently, there's optimism. important for all of us. it looks like we're starting a period of stronger economic growth. we will all benefit from it. this does not make headlines and does not lead the evening news. why not? because the new mood and expanded optimism began with the election of donald trump.

dr. marc siegel.f the declaration of a state of emergency and pumping in $50 million is going to solve the crisis, is it? >> first of all, depends where it goes. i'll talk about that in a minute. governor hogan, who i interviewed is a hero, recovered from lymphoma and lost a cousin to opioid overdose. his heart is in the right place. will the money go to treatment centers and prevent physicians from abusing-- >> does it go to treatment. $50 million. if it goes to treatment, does that work? >> it's starting to. there's a drug called saboxone, it's got a drug that gets you off opioids yes. stuart: there's an alternative. kills the pain that's one way out, partially out of the trouble. >> the alternatives treatments. stuart: the other point, you want to crack down on physicians who are overprescribing this stuff. >> get this in 2012, 259 million opioid prescriptions were written in the united states by a small percentage of us. abusers, physicians who don't know what to use these for. the institute of me
