ezekiel emanuel making it really simple. to keep your doctor, pay for it and that is what the president really meant to say, apparently. >> i think we learned a few weeks back that one president obama said he like your policy, and he was not telling the truth and what doctor ezekiel emanuel made clear is that if you're going to go into the program, you' going to get the services that meet the standards for the affordable care act and it is the people that are going into the system for the first time that haven't been assured in a long time. lou: as you put it, you're going to have this, it's like the basic message and i think you are exactly right. this is such a coercive tone and a piece of law that i can't believe there is a greater focus on it in the national media. >> in fairness, i think the national media has followed this story ever since the government reopened on october the 16th, night and day. and thi includes anyone, including the elected democrats are in negotiations with president obama and his team all along.

ezekiel emanuel recently appeared on fox news sunday. >> he never said you'll have unlimited -- >> he asked a question f. you like the doctor, keep your doctor. did he not say that, sir? >> he didn't say you can have unlimited choice. >> simple yes or no question. if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. >> yes. but look. if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. >> what do you say about that? >> well, first off, billy, i have apl apologize for my hair tonight. it looks like somebody set up a fracking operation as i look in the monitor. as for ezekiel emmanuel. i know his brother. he headed the agency where i was for a while. i like ari. he's funny. he's smart. he gets it. he plays rough in show business which i like but i'll tell you this. if he developed the script called the obama carolout and a writer named ezekiel emanuel showed up with the script, ari would whack him. he won't say it because it's his brother. let's take it over to zeke for a second. he's a salesman managing to make willie lohman look like -- and you coul

this is doctor ezekiel emanuel on what is happening next? >> no one has launch aid big p.r. campaign to get people signed up because of the problems with the federal website. we are about to launch a big p.r. campaign and that i think will persuade a lot of people. >> is it working? >> well in aversion what he said was true. the administration didn't want to have more people signing up with the bad website for the first two months because of the back-end problems so what he is saying in a sense is true. but the idea he is implying that people will become aware of obama care and rush to sign up because the benefits are so obvious is preposterous. it is very clear to virtually to anyone awake for the past two months, it is a disaster and it is getting worse and none of the challenges have come to pass. >> and if it is three sick people for every one to sustain the program and prices are set for 2014, are the prices affordable? if they don't getern they need -- if they don't get everyone they need, the prices for 2014 could be higher. >> we don't know how long democrats have be

which republican ron johnson is talking about today, although a democrat, ezekiel emanuel, one of the architects of the law insists the more people learn about the benefits, the more they'll like it. take a listen. >> in wisconsin, a young man, 27 years old, his -- on average his insurance costs will increase by 124%. from $1,100 a year to over $2,400 per year. that's because of obama care. >> no one has launched a big pr campaign to get these people signed up because of the problems with the federal website. we are about to launch a big pr campaign. and that, i think, is going to persuade a lot of people. >> now, as part of that pr campaign, as mr. emanuel calls it, today the white house is trying to tout the fact that medicaid is being expanded all around the country to get millions of people who don't have insurance right now covered. of course, that means taxpayers kicking in the money to cover these folks. the question is going to be whether or not the math adds up in the end. whether you can get enough young, healthy people to sign up for the law in order to help pay for all the

those people to older, sicker people and i think that despite what the obama administration and ezekiel emanuel may think of young people, that's a bad deal. as you point out, we've had three elections on this. there's nobody in the america who has not at least heard of obama care and i think that -- i think that what we're seeing is their very real refusal to go along with it because as you say, it's a bad idea for them. >> the white house, charlie, has to be deeply worried about the new harvard millennial poll. only 22% of young americans plan to sign up. 47% say it's unlikely they are going to sign up. i mean, those young people are the ones who are supposed to pay, as you point out, for the higher health costs for older and sick americans. if that doesn't happen, charlie, it could cause what experts say is a death spiral of skyrocketing premiums and then the risk, the collapse of the entire system. right? >> and i think -- absolutely. and i think that is exactly why the administration would much rather spend their time talking about what a disaster the website is and we're going to fix the

ezekiel emanuel was pressed about the president's claim that you can keep your own doctor under obama care, when in fact, many insurance plans have only limited lists of doctors and hospitals to choose from. >> if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. this is a matter of choice. we know in all sort of choices, you pay more for a wider range of choices or benefits. the issue isn't the selective networks. people keep saying, oh, the problem is you're going to have a selective network. >> well, if you lose your doctor or your hospital -- >> people are going to have a choice whether they want to pay a certain amount for a selective network or pay more for a broader network. >> also today, insurance brokers are complaining they're having trouble helping their clients sign up for obama care because of problems with information at the back end of that troubled enrollment process. >> issues, issues. still abound. thanks, steve. good to see you. >> jamie, it's a national day of prayer and reflection in south africa. for former president nelson

obamacare architect ezekiel emanuel said young people haven't signed up for coverage because the obaman hasn't sufficiently promoted it. my next guest says that he could not rate a greater piece of fiction in the obamacare narrative. we are joined by best-selling conservative auhor brad the thor. his latest book is called hidden order and i's great to have you th us. >> what it is saying is that obamacare works if you are rich. you will have access to the health care system unless you're rich, which is the bottom line, which is a stunner coming from this. lou: the idea of that cedars-sinai in os angeles, but these hospitals would be -- this is just such tough stuff. and some premiums are lower than anticipated, which eans we don't understand how hihly expected them to be. and this is a very difficult thing for people who thought that obacare wou amount to something. >> i have to tell you that i there is a poster of obama and this guy is the best salesperson for the evils of big government and the necessity for us to embrace liberty in this coutry. my first and only test for legislation

instead, doctor ezekiel emanuel explained that if you like your doctor, you will simply need to pay more. simply need to pay more to keep your doctor. i write as a physician i know firsthand how this will help -- this will hurt many americans. families look to doctors as trusted friends, confidantes and counselors and turn to them for advice in making life-and-death decisions. in wyoming patients have included me in graduation, in weddings, and asked me to serve as a pallbearer. they've asked me to pray with them, to referee family disputes and provide reassurance when a doctor they did not know was called in to consult. i go on that norman rockwell's painting doctor and doll tells the story. people can visualize that picture. a little girl holds up her doll as the trusted family doctor listens to the doll with his stethoscope. the physician takes the time to reassure the concerned little girl. the doctor-patient relationship is a very special bond. it requires faith and trust for a patient to allow me to cut into their body to remove a tumor, to replace a wornout joint, to fix a broken

yesterday ezekiel emanuel admitted if people want to keep their doctor they can pay more. >> president obama said if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. doesn't that turn out to be as false, as misleading as the promise that if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. isn't it a fact, sir, that a number -- most in fact of the obama care health care plans on the exchanges exclude a number of doctors and hospitals to lower costs. >> the president never said you would have unlimited choice of doctors. >> no, wait. if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. did he not say that, sir? >> he didn't say you can have unlimited choice. >> it's a simple yes or no. did he say if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. >> yes. but if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can. >> the lies get bigger. watch this. >> chris is dead on. the fact is probably one of the most important decisions i made was i had two doctors that covered me over those 35 years. that was crucial in terms of my care. it's true in a lot of cases with people wi

. >> if you pay more for it as ezekiel emanuel might say. jon: all right. steve hayes, a.b. stoddard. thank you both. >> thanks. jenna: back to one of our other top stories today, fox news weather alert. storm warnings are in effect as snow and ice blast the eastern united states. a fast-moving storm whipping across the country now hitting airs from the mountains to new york city. it is expected to drop several inches of snow in a few hours. that is leading to dangerous roads and school closing and major flight delays really nationwide. meteorologist maria molina is here with more on all of this. hey, maria. >> hello. nice to see you. you're absolutely right about the flight delays. this is one of the biggest impacts from the storm system. we're looking delays averaging right now, these are inbound flights to some airports, newark international over five-hour delays at that airport. over at philly international, delays over four hours. pack the patience if you're headed to airports. we have poor visibility. that is hindering traveling in some of these airports. otherwise the

. >> and now ezekiel emanuel on fox news said that if you leak yo like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. it's simply going to cost you more to do that. >> look, if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. this is a matter of choice. in all sorts of places you may more for certain -- to a wider range of benefits. >> emanuel went on to attribute the low number of people signing up for obama care to what he calls a lack of pr. he says the numbers will go up once the campaign is in full swing. >>> well, the deadline to enroll in obama care is just days away but it looks like a lot of young adults are anything about enthusiastic in getting involved in this system. nearly half of them say they are unlikely to enroll. remember, there's a fee for them to pay but much smaller than the premiums. this depends on millions of young, healthy people signing up. let's go to kirsten boardman and richa richard fowler. >> richard, let's start with you. the numbers are not good. >> they are not what we want them to be but the truth of the matter is when

ezekiel emanuel. welcome back to fox news sunday. since the relaunch a week ago of the website, enrollment numbers are up sharply. that's theood news, but the administration says that the website is still sending erroneous messages to insurers about one in ten people who think they have signed up. isn't a 10% error rate still a serious problem? >> as i understand it, they're working very hard on those so-called 834 forms and second of all, they're working with the insurers to clean up that information and they did push that a little further down, which they have time to do because they don't need to get the information to them for another few week and they're both working really hard to solve that problem. in addition, they identified one bug that seals to be causing a large portion. >> but it's still a problem. >> in october, you said they couldn't solve the b problem of signing up. they have gone a lopg way. >> i never said that. you're making that up. >> and now, they decidedly put this second and they're kr addressing it. >> okay

obama care architect ezekiel emanuel was not joking that the government was about to launch a big p.rgn that he thought would get a lot of people to sign up. the twitter feed posted this, how do you plan to spend the cold days of december along with this picture. the guy wearing pajamas. wear pajamas, drink hot chocolate, talk about getting health insurance. that inspired a slew of photo shopped photos. governor chris christie, we are spending the cold days of december volunteering. get out of your pjs. >> and another said i can't forget pajama boy, this is my big modeling career break. and what is the government thinking about the pajama boy campaign, cupping a hot chocolate cup. >>> and walmart and one of the targets of the "occupy" movement is selling the 27 by 9 posters for $43, easily within the range of 99 percenters. >>> and kanye west is being told to check yourself before you hurt yourself. david west said i'm just giving my body on the stage and putting my life at risk. literally this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something. from chief oliver, thank

kevin campbell, cardiologists will we're talking about, over the weekend, ezekiel emanuel said that,es, you can keep your doctor, but you may have to pay more. listen to this. >> he asked a question, if you like your doctor, you can keep it. did he not say that, sir? >> did not say you could have unlimited. >> a simple yes or no question. >> yes. if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor, you can do that. this is a matter of choice. you pay more for a wider range of choices or wider range of benefits. gerri: you are a doctor. did this come as a shock? >> not at all. we knew from the very outset that this was going to be ultimately a costly endeavor. we also knew that the way this was structured -- gerri: costlier, but now they're telling s that you can keep your doctor. other telling is seeking keep it, but you have to pay more. that seems to be a totally different cuttlefish. >> it's a bait and switch. they're trying to save face because of the fact that they made these statements well over 30 times during the pre-election run for the presidency. now w

ezekiel emanuel defended obama care.s his explanation of obama's promise that if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. >> the doctor never said you could have any choice of any doctor -- >> he asked a question, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. did he not say that? >> he didn't say you can have unlimited choice -- >> didn't he say if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor? >> yes, but if you want to pay more for an insurance company that covers your doctor. >> if you like your doctor and you're willing to pay more, you can keep your doctor. >> rich people are going to be winners in a system like this. but i want to say, that's not what obama said. the president never said if you want to pay more, he said, if you like your insurance, you can keep it. if you like your doctor, you can keep him. zeke emanuel should just say, that is correct and the president made a mistake which the president has tried to correct. i worked in government. i worked in the subcabinet for president reagan. reaga

ezekiel emanuel keeps turning himself out.t as he is and as much as he's accomplished he is not a good spokesperson. he looks panicked and conned descending -- condescending and he never answers the question. chris wallace, to his credit, will not let him off the league. he represents these ivy league people who feels as though they know more than everyone else in the world. we'll skpwhraeupb -- explain it. don't keep asking these follow-up questions. no one is buying it anymore. i'd like to add this to the fray. would you have voted for the plan? would you have voted for the person who put the plan forward if you knew you couldn't keep your doctor and couldn't keep your plan unless you want to pay more? the answer is probably no. that is why it is so unpopular. these leading hospitals like the mayo clinic, they are going to be in a lot of trouble because you cannot put cost controls on innovation. they're trying to keep people alive. and this current calculus does not allow for these elite hospitals to thrive and exist and th

do they sue ezekiel emanuel?ow but somebody is going to get sued. >> 29,000 people signed up over the last few days which shows they're getting the website going but no one is confident about the back end, the execution of the plan. >> right. it's the flow of information along with the privacy of that information that is a huge problem. how do you get that information from your account to the insurer? that's where so many errors are occurring. you're right, your information has been diverted to who knows where. this is not right. >> the other feedback we're getting from the insurance experts and insurance companies is a lot of stuff is coming to them inaccurately and the word is this. jumbled. like the words bugged and glitched. jumbled. thanks for dumbing it down. >> there is no ideology here. if you want security of the website, you're not being ideological. you're not saying obama is right or the republicans are right. you do this with health care or you do that with it. you're simply saying you've got to secu

ezekiel emanuel was on tv. over the weekend what the president really should have said you like your doctor you can keep your doctor if you want to pay more. what do you think about that? >> well i think that just once begin those the president was not truthful with the american people and that is why a majority of americans believe that the president is not honest in dealing with them which is why his popularity continues to drop. i have an editorial in today's "investors business daily" about the doctor/patient relationship. it is something that i valued with my patients. my patients valued with me and people all across the country are now finding that not only can they not necessarily keep their insurance that they had and they liked, they're not going to be able to keep their doctor. this health care law, there are much better ways to deal with the needs of the american people in terms of providing available, affordable care. republicans have good ideas on ways to do that. the president ignored all of those

ezekiel emanuel said with chris wallace.ou will have you can keep your doctor you but you might have to pay for it. >> that was the most revealing where chris wallace pressed emanuel on the issue and emanuel said the president didn't promise any doctor you want ited. if you want your doctor you can pay for it. that is true anywhere in the world. innings in health service in britain if you want your doctor you can have it but you -- bill: aka cash. >> exactly. bill: what do you think the effect of this is on voters on everyday americans once they continue to peel back the layers? >> you know, i don't think we've seen the full political effect of obama kiar at all because we've seen what has happened in the individual markets. we've seen that roiling controversy taken place there we haven't seen what is really happening in the small group market which should be happening next six months to a year. we haven't seen what is happening when the subsidies start flowing on january 1st. we haven't seen what is happening in the prescri

i don't want to find out from ezekiel emanuel, he comes out and says if you want to pay more, you can to that doctor. listen, there's somebody in my family who wants to see a doctor that the other people don't think is too good. it doesn't matter what i think because that person has to feel comfortable with that doctor. do you want some person you don't know grading your doctor telling you that doctor is not doing a good enough job for you? >> you're talking about the government doing the grading. how well does the government do with the d.m.v.? that puts it all into perspective. now they're in the doctor grading business. >> and these doctors are getting paid according to quality? and the government is going to do the grading. >> every plan has got different scales. ultimately what it comes down to is, according to a friend of this program, dr. ben carson, going forward, doctors essentially being treated as government workers. listen to this. >> one of the reasons that private practice is disappearing is because all these different costs and requirements are so onerous you need to be

about the doctor thing, ezekiel emanuel went on to say you can keep your doctor if you want to pay more. i'm not buying those explanations. neither are the american people. >> because had the president said it just one time, he just said it one time, then, you know, okay, maybe he misspoke the one time. but he said it a couple of dozen times. people are p.o.'d. >> some say it is 28 times in terms of some record. the american people were promised that. 82% when asked said they want to keep their health care plan, clearly that is ringing true. they are disappointed they can't keep it. they are devastated their family can't see the doctor they are dependent on. that argument is probably the most indicative in terms of how the american people feel, why they are ticked right now. >> this is no republican saying this. this is the american people saying this. you look at the "washington post," they talk about their pinocchio of the year, it goes back to the president and him saying you can keep your doctor and keep your plan if you want to keep your plan. that is the number-one misstatement of

. >> we understand why rahm emanuel has a testimony permanent his brother is his doctor. dr. ezekielmanual has the worst bedside manner of any physician i heard of. bill: it went back and forth as it usually does with him. he is a very high energy guy. what did you think of his defense of that claim, karl? >> i thought it was ludicrous. the president said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor period. he didn't say you will have to pay a lot more to keep your doctor unmy plan. frankly from the very beginning, one of the principle assumptions of obamacare is, that there are too many choices. that people have too many choices when it comes to ininsurance policies. so let's make them all look-alike. and you have too many choices when it comes to doctors and providers. so let's do thing in the design of the law that necessarily limit the number of providers and number of doctors you will have access to. that necessarily means the president was absolutely lying when he said if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. bill: full-throated defense, karl. people aren't stupid.

one thin thing, ezekiel manuel is covering up for dishonesty, you can't keep your doctor period, you can't keep your plan, period, there will be insurance bailouts, period. and emanuel was coming back saying, he didn't mean to say that, he meant to say you can keep it if you pay more. and he was up for re-election at the time. >> i highly doubt that. that they voted on him because of the health plans. but let me make a couple of points if i could. the 18-25-year-olds, 60% said they won't sign up. they don't have to because they are on their parent's plan. the problem is they're too expensive, i agree with you. the problem is they are far superior. >> how do you know that, bob? >> psychiatric care is included, down the list of the -- >> because of the bob beckel amendment. >> but bob doesn't worry about the fact that we can't pay for it. i can't wait to pay for all of these items but i kblt afford them, i can't have them. >> there is a cost to having something like this. >> the cast factors into that assessment. >> it is like saying that ferrari is far superior to that chevy volt. we know it. it is ten times more expensive. however if you are selling a plan, the ferr

specifically because this past weekend on one of the sunday talk shows, rahm emanuel's brother, ezekiel emanuel, who was one of the, architects of e president's health care law, he was on one of the talk shows responding to a question about, if you like the president' yourn keep your doctor. and can you really keep your doctor? well, what i wrote was the central architect of the president's health care law admitted this week that the often-repeated promise that if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor simply isn't true. instead, the doctor explained that if you like your doctor, you will simply have to pay more. as a physician i know firsthand how this will hurt many americans. mr. president, i write how families look to doctors as trusted friends, confidants and advisors. in wyoming, patients have included me in graduations, in weddings, and they ask me to serve as a pallbearer at funerals. they ask me to pray with them, to referee family disputes and provide reassurance when a doctor they didn't know was called in to consult. norman rockwell's painting tells the storks a little girl h

ezekiel emanuel, brother of rahm emmanuel, former chief of staff of the white house, a former medicine professor. what he says is if you like your doctor and you want to keep your doctor, you can pay more for insurance that includes your doctor. a lot of places, you can't even buy insurance that will cover that doctor. this isn't at all what the president promised. and it's interesting in the -- even the paper "the financial times" yesterday, health insurance cut costs by excluding top hospitals. so you can't even go to the hospitals. there is a picture here of m.d. anderson cancer center from the university of texas. plan will not cover treatment at houston cancer center. well, so if we have somebody who has lost their insurance who has been going to that cancer center where their doctors are and they are losing their insurance on january 1, not only can't you keep your doctor, you can't keep your hospital. we see children's hospitals around the country, people that are not going to be included in these exchanges. children with leukemia come january 1 losing their doctor, losing their
