now united healthcare is threatening a pullout from the exchanges.ted health says fining up for the affordable care act will cost the company almost half a billion dollars this and next year. what happened? is the basic structure of the unworkable? >> we're going to be moving the obamacare repeal bill in the senate this week. >> storm clouds in congress gathering around president obama's signature achievement. >> it has been a catastrophic -- had a catastrophic impact on our economy and we intend to do everything we can to get rid of it. >> >>> senate republicans introduced legislation tuesday that would repeal key portions of the affordable care act,ing is their counterparts in the house approved in october. all of the promises the president made in trying to sell obamacare have prove tone be false. if you like what you have, you can keep it. premiums will go down by a family of four by $2,500. >> they also want to repeal the so-called cadillac tax on premium plans, but all legislation needs a signature from the president, so without support from th

people find it very difficult to say health, not healthcare. as been very little time talking about healthcare because people get sick they need access to high-quality health care. but it is not lack of healthcare that causes the illness in the 1st place. lack of access adds insult to the injury of getting sick. so, i am very much pushing the idea that although healthcare is a vital issue in the world's discovering universal health coverage, which is great, and the us is trying to do something about trying to serve the underserved and give them access to healthcare, i am talking about the way we organize our affairs in society which impact on health and the unfair distribution of health health inequality now is it away two things i was asked to chair. i did a review for the european region of who. we have learned a great deal. i don't just mean me. i wanted to communicated to a wider readership colleges try tied to write it in an accessible form. i think we need to get a much more public discussion of how our affairs and the way we organize the

healthcare is only going to get more more complex. we are just going to need better and better nurses to meet all those complex needs. >> imac. >> .. or do you think many nurses unfortunately use this phrase that i am sure we both hate. we see that some time. talk about black empowerment of what needs to be incurring. >> i think a lot of nurses don't feel empowered as fully as we could. and it comes from the accumulation of having moments when you tried to have an opinion of bring something up that you thought was important and the physician will you off. even if it only happens one out of every ten times it has an effect on your assertiveness and wanting to dive in. why should i dive in the fund is going to be pushed out.out. in my going to look ridiculous? i observation stupid? so there are nurses who are in that respect. doctors will listen to them. that is me putting it like that where in that respect, we should all get that respect. it should not have to be something that is earned. again, to me that goes back to physician traini

considered they are not given healthcare. do i think that healthcare should be a right? that is how i tend to think, but that is something that i don't think would actually happen in the current political climate, right? what we're left with is solutions that really if we want to talk about reducing cost of medications for society, involve more intervention from the federal government. those are the solutions to providing reasonable access to healthcare that ... other industrialized nations have come up with but we in the us have been very resistant to this. one thing that is kind of a low-hanging fruit is allowing medicare to negotiate for the same kinds of rebates that are negotiated for in the medicaid program. the medicaid program drug costs, because they have federally-mandated rebates. medicare, when it was set up, was actually barred from negotiating with drug companies. craig vansandt: right. ben urick: yeah. some back room dealing with billy tauzin who ended up being the president of pharma afterwards, apologies to p

so, talk of the vote about what our current healthcare system and how challenging it is to be a nurse in the system today. >> guest: that image came to me because i really feel that way a lot at work that there is a giant rock and we come in every day and have to move to the top of the hill and then come back to that same rock and same job because of care is so complicated now and not really focused very well on coordination that it can often take a tremendous amount of time and energy for basic ordinary things to happen. so, for example one of the patients in the book who was misdiagnosed with a classic thing that happens they come to the emergency department with a medical problem that is perceived to the medical floor and it turns out she turns out she actually has a very serious surgical problem, and i was talking with one of the surgeons involved in on my behalf i felt so angry and they said it happens all the time. >> host: i don't think the public can appreciate how competed it can be to even try to work harder at coordination. >> guest: and i don't want to scare people and mak

it expanded a healthcare system that already cost too much. it told me that washington knows what policy you ought to buy. you might want a lower cost your budget and your healthcare needs. washington says, no, you can't do it. so we're going to have to change this and we're going to have to do it carefully so we don't hurt people more than they've been hurt. find where will you partners to do that? senator alexander: well, we partisan way. a i like the "no child left example.ix as an i mentioned earlier, we passed the healthcare law, we fixed the "no child left behind" murray signed it. the next day, governors and school board teachers are making it.ns to implement they're not worrying about it being repealed. we need to approach it eventually in a bipartisan way going to do anyway. >> do you think we're going to find the democratic -- senator alexander: we have to do that. there's some indications. senator scott and senator shaheen passed a bill that exempted some small businesses that reduced the premium. here's been bipartisan support for

fourth, veterans want choice in proust healthcare.ccording to a poll, 91% of veterans want more healthcare choices. instead, va takes greater control over veterans' eligibility and access. veterans would be eligible if they are more than 40 miles from a vapcp. this is unrealistic because most of their needed care is from a specialist. with wait times, va is gaming the system by having undefined wait time goals for every service and leaving it up to the va provider to decide the clinically necessary time frame. accessing the high performance network is another example. the va has undetermined referral process which could take months for each step. the first hurdle is the va core network, then the preferred and standard tiers, all controlled by va. fifth, the plan is extremely premature, especially in light of the charge congress gave the commission on care to examine how best to organize vha and deliver healthcare to veterans. the va plan coulding short-circuit this existing charge in conflict with the recommendations. cva proposes the

so i very much pushing the idea that although healthcare, the world has discovered universal healthcare coverage which is great, and the u.s. is trying to do something about trying to serve the younger terms in terms of healthcare. i'm talking about what the ways we with the ways we use our society to impact on health and the unfair distribution of healthcare to be judged by. it is a way to do things. one day as i chaired the who commission in the wake of that i was asked to chair the review of the health properties in a wind. i did a review for the year. -- the european region. and i don't just mean me, i mean all the people involved. and i wanted to communicate it to the readership which is why i try to tried to write it in accessible form, but i think we need to get a much more public discussion of how our affairs and the way we organize them in society impact on people's health and well-being and the fact that we are discussing it now is exactly what i wanted to do. >> and i think one of the major points that you make is that poverty is solve is a contributor to a person's state of

very, very big in healthcare. and i would just very briefly say, the rest of healthcare, the private sector, is dealing with this by no longer trying to be patern paternalistic and make choices. on the issue of losses of nurses and other staff that we lose, each one of those people that leave the organization is painful for us. and we have to figure out ways to retain people. morale is lower than we want in the organization. and we absolutely have to address it. it's one of my priorities as undersecretary, to address that issue. but it's not all bad news. between august of 2014 and october 31st of 2015, this period you're talking about, we had a net increase of 1692 physicians and 3,508 nurses. so while we're losing, and we have to address that, we're actually hiring more and having a net increase, which is helping us deliver care. on the issue of training, the role of education, medical education, nursing education, psychologists, social workers, pharmacis pharmacists, va is critical for that mission. we cannot l

damian: we begin today with the important topic of latinos and healthcare. with me here on "comunidad del valle" with kaiser permanente are dr. juan guerra and dr. bellinda magallanes. welcome to the show. now, we're here because, i mean, when the affordable care act came into effect, i mean, this brought a huge influx of new latino patients. talk about maybe about that aspect, and maybe some challenges that that poses to the medical staff. juan guerra: sure, with the beginnings of the affordable care act, the newly insured have been composed anywhere up to 40% by latinos. so then this puts the onus on the healthcare system to provide culturally and linguistically sensitive methods to engage patients, which has been shown to give the optimal healthcare outcomes and to embrace prevention, something that we strive for at kaiser permanente. damian: so, there are a couple of questions here. where were all these latinos? how were they covered who are now coming out? and it's probably a good thing that they're coming out. bellinda magallanes: yeah, so they either

certainly nurses and healthcare teams. talk of over-the-top use of humor to cope with the difficulty. >> guest: people in healthcare can find very offputting not to say disturbing. but i don't think it comes out of being callous or uncaring. i got very attached and i felt his death. profoundly. after he died he had a lot of narcotics left for and asked us to get rid of it. you have to give a reason why you are wasting and the patient die died isn't one of the reasons. so together we would put the patient refused, which struck us as hilarious. we were laughing so hard people heard us out in the hallway. >> host: great example. you talk about what it's like to be in the healthcare system that sometimes seems to forget that it's working with human beings and sometimes are caught up in the bureaucracy and healthcare in the business. to see more of the empathy that is needed to give the direct care to patients and the mental toughness that it may take to be a nurse. talk about that. >> guest: to totally be there it's incredibly

right now as we speak, the house is still trying to pull money out of the healthcare portion of this bill. i believe when push comes to shove paul ryan is going to do the right thing because ultimately he is still human. (laughter) then there's dr. doom! you could say that. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. he is the key to getting this done and so far he has been an enormous obstacle, unwilling to move the bill forward for purely political reasons. >> trevor: yeah, but, jon, to pure it's purely political, you would have to have a video of mcconnell supporting or even sponsoring a similar bill granting permanent healthcare for national security-related workers who happen to live in his home state. >> that's a brilliant idea, trevor! roll 212. >> during the cold war, workers at paducah's gas diffusion plant are patriots who did some of the most dangerous work. >> we found out along the way it was more dangerous than we were made aware of. >> exposure to radiation was making some workers sick. they needed help. >> senator income connell took it on his own to do so much for these

universal healthcare coverage which is great, and the u.s. is trying to do something about serving the under terms in terms of access to healthcare, i am talking about the way we organize our affairs in society which impact on health and the unfair distribution judged by reasonable means to be avoidable. the reason i read the book now is in a way to do two things. one is i chaired the commission on social terms of health in the wake of that i was asked to chair the review of health qualities in england and i did a review for the region of who and i wanted to communicate it to a wide wider readership which is why i tried to write in accessible form but i think we need to get a much more public discussion of how our affairs and the way we organize them in society impact on people's health and well-being and the fact that we are discussing it now is exactly what i want to do. >> host: one of the major points that you make is that poverty itself is a contributor to rate person's state of health but it's not the be-all and end-all of the decisions

going on in the healthcare sector.there are massive changes going on in this country and around the world in the way healthcare is organized. we really are really delighted to have for the next hour this really fascinating and timely discussion. so ladies and gentlemen, please welcome ian read, chairman and ceo of pfizer, and dennis berman of the "wall street journal." [ applause ] >> good morning. >> good morning. >> anything you would like to tell us about? [ laughter ] >> i thought i would just take your lead. >> okay. front page of the "wall street journal." pfizer in preliminary discussions with allergan, 115, $120 billion plus deal. thoughts? >> it's amazing what the "wall street journal" will do to fill a room. what can i say? no comment. we have an official position that we don't comment on speculation on potential m&a deals. >> if you don't mind. i'm not picking your pocket. >> we don't need this on anymore? >> no. without commenting on the specifics, you've been pretty vocal and pretty clear with your investo

>> this is not a healthcare conference, which is why it's cool, but if you go to enough healthcare conferencesit's always about the barriers. so "f" the barriers. there's a lot of barriers. so what? there's paths through the barriers. when doctors, for example, get risk contracts, they now have an incentive to see where patients go and they can make money if they follow them, so they're willing to invest in the connection. when retail clinics and urgent cares, hospitals go from wanting to block access to their data to eagerly trying to connect, because guess where all the newly sick people are showing up, at urgent cares and retail clinics. there are these little tectonic shifts that are creating life for the market in over the place in healthcare. the aco thing, you read about bundled payments, it's not perfect, but it creates this opportunity where a doctor that shops for the right inputs when replacing a hip can do better than the doctor that don't shes shop. there's a lot of barriers, most of them made a lot of sense at the time. but this internet thing is going to be big and it's finally

a new surcharge to cover the cost of healthcare may be hard for some customers to take. reports now on the political pizza. >> reporter: added something new to their menu this week. a 3% sur charge on all bills to help them cover the cost of healthcare for their employees. >> we've always been criticized. before we start putting 22, $23 pizzas on the menu, that's be transparent about what that money is going as. >> reporter: it requires companies with 50 or more employees to provide their staff with fairly priced healthcare. >> we embraced obamacare, and then realizing the cost covered then asked our guests to contribute a very small amount. >> reporter: while the pizzeria charges $20 for a pie, and $19 for a pasta dish, having to fit the entire bill for their employee's healthcare would be too costly. >> we're trending upwards of a quarter million dollars of increased costs. >> reporter: customers split on how they feel about the surcharge. >> i'm not sure if i believe in the principle. i think that healthcare should be paid by the employer. >> i appreciate that they're

the owner whose business was under 50 employees wasn't required to offer healthcare. but she still wanted to offer healthcare benefits. >> it costs hundreds of dollars per employee for small businesses. it's really hard to afford. when you can pay a smaller amount per employee and you pay gets to see that practice for free. >> frank: the direct care costs individuals roughly $50 per month, plus any fees for x-rays or lab work. that compares with $490 a month in 2016, for a low cost silver plan. however, the government says most people signing up through the exchange will get a subsidy to cut that premium in half. dr. vickory believes direct care is a better alternative for individuals because in his opinion, obamacare isn't working. likely to be less than the cost of his premiums. >> i'm keeping both. but with the payment going up, we'll see what happens. >> frank: dr. vickorry believes direct care can be a cost-saving supplement or work in coverage plan. but it alone does not relieve patience from the government's penalties for not acquiring what it calls minimum ess

human beings and sometimes we're caught up in the bureaucracy and focus on healthcare as a business, to say more about the impatty -- empathy that's needed and the mental toughness to be a nurse, talk a little bit about that. >> guest: yes, it's so important to totally be there and it's difficult because we are pulled away, someone needs you, somebody needs something from you. sometimes a patient just needs you to be there for them either because they're in pain, because they're vomiting, because they're scared, all kinds of things and being able to come to that patient with your whole heart and at the same time being able to constantly run through your to do list is very difficult and the nurses have to be really good at that. turning on a dime. >> host: yeah, i think it is a challenge. we certainly hear sometimes from patients and former patients who feel that their nurses seem so busy, they don't want to ask them for things but things that are important to them, even if it's just spending a few minutes to them to explain one of their medications or one of their treatments. >> gues

our nation's largest healthcare provider, female healthcare provider, undermined a critical source of healthcare that one in five women have relied on. cancer screening, hiv tests and so much more. and they would make it harder for women to exercise there constitutionally protected rights to make their own choices. this proposal because millions of people to lose their health care coverage and with it access to everything from birth control to prenatal care. that is simply not going to happen, not onhappen, not on my watch, not on democrats watch kind president obama's watch. republicans may want to go back to the days when being a woman was a pre-existing condition. they may see this entire bizarre effort has nothing more than a great opportunity to pander to the base by attacking healthcare and planned parenthood. through the millions of women and families the policies we are debating are no political exercise. instead they would represent a deeply harmful step backwards, a step away from building a healthcare system that is affordable, accessible command high quality contributes to

in their proposals on developing healthcare institutions. we need to find the right way for us to do that. helping these people, these disabled peoples, families with children, we should let an po's participant pay because they work efficiently, they don't have much bureaucracy, they really care about people. in november we had a son some recommendations. it was a special presidential grant program to support working in small towns and rural areas. ntl has a good record, they will have a special status with the government and will enjoy certain benefits and preferences. finally i think it would be appropriate to send 10% of the local social programs to and tos so they can be more involved in those social programs. we all know, not imposing anything but i would ask invisible and global authorities to consider this, on september 1 of this year i had a meeting, you know at the gifted children center. we really have very talented children, young people. we have we have to do our best to make sure children get the best education possible to engag

revolution in healthcare. we'll talk about it in a little bit but i want to know about this healthcare revolution which you won, and my first question is, who is going to be first against the wall when the revolution comes? jonathan: i was going to start that wer by saying revolutions are supposed to be done very quietly, and you're microforum in a front of thousands of people on the record. so i think the revolution or the rotation that we aspire to at athena housing, that i aspire to in life, is to just coach the fragile little demand curve out from under the sofa where daddy down for so ing it long and come out and play again. there's no result-driven healthcare. as a result no innovation. many buyers and sellers come out rom under the carpet with the freedom to move about. there are very little examples of that. the definition of healthcare is mandated by the national leaders downtown. this is what national insurance means. silver or e bronze, gold or something like that. they're all exactly the same with
