we see the change happening outside of healthcare. see them coming into business they may not be traditionally healthcare players who have started these companies. they may be test companies. the migrating care in the virtual environments. he would sit on your phone, computer, text, you don't know anything about that doctor. that dr. does not know anything about you but they guarantee can get the care when you want to on demand. we see that change because the doctors i don't think are taking ownership. it is taking advantage of they are seeing the change. to make things that should have a higher quality, lower cost. do you think these companies are good thing? >> the word good is not the issue. we find in greater problems. the $8 trillion paid back with interest. here in california we have amazon, google, netflix. pretty good tax revenue but across the country that's not the case. as higher costs for employment higher costs for medicaid. and small businesses are going to be in trouble. i think we can expect the download pressures goin

sometimes we pay more when healthcare institutions make mistakes i.them for the original club job and then to fix their original mistakes and that's not something you would do if dealing with a car mechanic or anywhere outside the healthcare system and its part of the reason why our healthcare system has the problems it does which is the focus of different, overcharged and white americans pay so much for healthcare. why do turn over to doctor anderson who can tell you why my book. [laughter] >> thank you, it is nice to be with you and it's a very distinguished book by a distinguished author. i'll try highlight where i have disagreements and where there are potential agreements we share as well so let me get my screen up for you. it will take a second. this is a major work by exceptionally well credentialed individuals. ... and where we might disagree the authors have proposed seven basic facts. one thing at the start we can agree on is the system of medical malpractice litigation is broken. absolutely,, we agree on that ad i will show you some of the

carter, kick it off. >> big week for healthcare and moderna. let's look at a few tables and some charts. the first table, one week performance, we know healthcare beats the market and amgen is well below the market and the sector the next table, again, leading the way is the healthcare sector, above the s&p and there is amgen next table, three months, same picture, you got the healthcare sector up over the past few months, 8%, the market is 5.5. amgen is down. amgen is launching up some 24% or 25% one or two charts. on tom, amgen. on the bottom, relative p perfo performance. we are breaking down to a new two or four year lows. we are hovering ominously if you will and now having under cut the up trend line in effect since the march low. the presumption here is this week for shadows something not right of the earnings announcement we want underway and going short into the report. >> mike, what's the trade here >> so amgen is an interesting case here, carter was pointing out that the healthcare sector overall has been out performing it quite sign

designed to solve all the problems of texas healthcare. that is literally a task. some of the issues of the time and uninsured residents in the country spending hospital care ranked 41st in the united states, emergency rooms and trauma centers in texas were chronically underfunded and understaffed texas is another parameter in the bottom ten states for immunization of children and seniors. but what the tort reforms are designed to do was to reduce the cost of claims and ultimately to reduce the number of fruitless claims and were they successful, extraordinarily successful physician insurance premiums have fallen by more than 50% after the reforms and much of the decline came within two years of the reforms. they were profoundly successful, three of the critical specialties that i alluded to earlier ob, neurosurgery and orthopedics attracted hundreds of new doctors to the states in those specialties in 2003 the year at the reforms passed after falling for several years prior to 2003. in 2006 there were 4000 applications for new medical lic

we don't see any other way out of this. >> reporter: in a statement the national union of healthcare workers said in part, "while this order will not be embraced by all our members it will save lives and protect the health of healthcare workers and patients enduring another covid-19 surge." for front line worker amber ugarte she believes any hospital worker who has gone without a vaccine likely has not witnessed the brutality of the virus. >> there are certain areas that their views are a little different because they haven't seen what we've seen. >> reporter: a second health order by the state thursday requires anyone visiting california hospitals, care facilities, nursing homes and in most healthcare settings be fully vaccinated or show a negative covid test beginning august 11th. >> it's been tricky because they have let visitors in and it's been a scary situation sometimes when you're talking face to face and you don't know that this person isn't, you know, spreading or shedding the virus. >> reporter: that assurance will soon come from both sides. >> they no longer have to guess

of a different overcharge by americans healthcare. so with that, let me stop and turn it over to doctor anderson who can tell you why i am wrong. >> will thank you and assigns to be with you and it is a very distinguished book by very distinguished authors and i will try to highlight where i have disagreements and where there are potential agreements that we share as well. so let me get my screen up for you. it will take a second. so this is major work by exceptionally well conditions chilled and individuals and more serious problems with the analysis. book title presumes the wrong predicate. the texas reforms were extremely effective and did exactly what they were designed to do. reams of data that were suggested to extensive on these analyses by the colleagues. they basically leave us with the conclusion that there this flat. the daily in fact beyond report in the real world as specifically the texas professional liability environment before and after the tory reform of 2003. let's see what we can find common ground and where we mig

but the short response is the federal government buys a lot of healthcare. to be able to set the terms and conditions for those working for the elderly that we currently have. and those that point out the rate was starting to look like the rest of the population so in terms of the commerce clause for the nationwide cap i will leave that to the common-law people. >> it's not the dominant role that senators who are saying there is a federal role so what do you perceive? >> first i would echo those qualifiers with my opinion but i would say that medicine has become a specialty we seen in the way it has across the country most standards of care are set by state and at the same across the whole country so the error telemedicine it makes sense to have national licensure but for all of those reasons. >> the title of the book why to reform has not helped come if you look back at reform over the last 30 years are there some reforms that have helped and then beneficial in your mind? the one in texas helped it did exactly what it was designed to do with those premiums

you're a healthcare worker. your profession. thing you've devoted your life to is to protect people. to make them well. to protect them from disease. i'm very much in favor of mandating, if you want to see patients and you want to participate in healthcare, you need to get vaccinated. period. >> now the white house is watching all these developments very closely and as the number of cases have changed, so, too, has the strategy to combat that surge. arlette, it's been a fascinating last ten days watching the white house watching the president. what steps is the administration preparing considering in the days or weeks ahead as this wave continues to grow? >> well, phil, it is clear that the white house's strategy to combatting this virus is constantly evolving. you have heard the president in recent days really try to highlight how this is a different pandemic from when he first took office. one that is the pandemic of the unvaccinated as that delta variant continues to spread throughout the country. and you've seen this change

can you talk about the new requirement for the state and state healthcare workers? >> i am all in favor and i think from the very beginning it has been appropriate for healthcare workers who take an oath to do no harm, at least the doctors do to keep themselves safe for their patients. we know that vaccination rates for example in nursing homes are often 50% and that is unconscionable so many of the large healthcare systems have already done this and looting you cfs and kaiser did it a few days ago but i think it's appropriate for all healthcare workers in the state to be vaccinated and a come near vulnerable patients so they have to be. >> breakthrough cases and numbers go up and that is because we are seeing more cases overall? >> mostly, yes, because there is more covid around and therefore if you're vaccinated and will protected but not 100% protected you are more likely to get a case in the great news about the vaccine as they continue to prevent severe cases and that ucsf we see a fair number and virtually all of them happen outside the hospital and it remains

you said this would affect healthcare, how so. >> part of the green new deal that is all about healthcare, access to healthcare and it's all about equity. we had a transportation bill recently is being implemented now in the divine and ministration which only five or 10 percent traditional infrastructure bill. but it's all now dealing with everything fromeveryone's access to healthcare, equity housing it's an assault on traditional suburbs . i want to bring in much denser housing in the suburbs . it's on every aspect of our life. this is essentially goes back and i detail this in the book , goes back to the united nations sustainable agenda. sustainable development agenda which came out of the earth summit in the early 1970s but george hwwhat , got us onto this whole path. and the sustainable development essentially means it's going to control every aspect of your life. it's going to have bureaucratic planners saying you can't do this, you can't do that. this part, yourhouse have to be this. wehave presidential candidates seeing a moratorium on new home building unless they're sustainably

of healthcare itself. without changing the payment model the cost will continue to increase forcing us to spend ever more money on medical care but undermining investments in the social determinants of health that are so critical ifor going to be able to deal with long-standing health disparities that disproportionately affect people of color. furthermore, governors even in medicare expansion states will be hard-pressed to maintain existing coverage without a way to reduce the cost of care. given the constraints of reconciliation we difficult to address medical inflation through congressional action alone. the use facilitated 11, 15 and 1332 waivers offers a path for a carefully selected states to expand on the work really being pioneered in my home state of oregon and in maryland which are demonstrating innovative ways to reduce the total cost of care while maintaining access, benefits and quality. would you be willing to consider away for strategy as an administered koppelman for the legislative initiati

primarily, because the opposition to abortion is not really about healthcare. it's not really about religion and the protection of rights. it's about controlling women. it's about misogyny and that happens whether or not we had gone faster. it's what amazes me. the reality was the political powers that be, use abortion as a wedge to hold the coalition together and they really look to the issue as a way to build political power as opposed to having anything to do with the medical procedure. we of course want women to have access to the good healthcare, so it's like talking to two different sides of the coin and in my view, being nice, going slow never got us very far. times have changed the strategy and take on the power to be. i wholeheartedly agree. i went to law school because of women like ruth bader ginsburg and not enough good can be said. here we are in 2021. why so angry and demanding. it really does dignify enough. like we are not sitting down and saying let's have a little bit of compromise. the amendment bands funding and disappointment and an amount

organizations, called for employers in the healthcare space to mandate all healthcare workers be vaccinatedi do think having all healthcare workers vaccinated is an imperative. we pledge to do whatever's important to promote the health and wellbeing of our patients and certainly getting a covid vaccine qualifies as promoting their health and wellbeing, not transmitting the virus to them, whether they're in a hospital, a physician office, or a long-term care facility. so, i think that's a really important objective that we need to expeditiously achieve. >> so, let's stay with the mandates that you say that you have supported for healthcare. how far should the government go? we know that there is now the call for federal employees to be vaccinated or get regular testing. how far should this go? should the military as well, should it be mandated for them? >> yes, i've called for the military to be vaccinated. the last thing we need is for our national defense to be threatened by covid, and the best way to protect the military is vaccination of all the people defending the country. i also think

state healthcare workers, you now have a deadline to get your two doses by september 30. that order came down yesterday and applies to workers in all hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, other healthcare settings. >> many of the large healthcare systems have done this including ucsf and many others. kaiser did it a few days ago. it is appropriate for all healthcare workers in the state to be vaccinated and shouldn't be able to come near vulnerable patients unless they are. >> reporter: for a full list of those vaccine sites in alameda county, go to our website kpix.com. i am justin andrews, kpix5. >> we are seeing a lot of those vaccination sites pop up now. thank you. >>> starting today people in napa will wear a mask inside public places regardless of vaccination status. solano is now the only bay area county not enforcing indoor mask rules. >>> back to school front today governor newsom will stop by a school in san bernardino to talk about return of full in person instruction. we are expected to learn more about the educational investments. so far we know the califor

that is how healthcare is being administered particularly in rural areas.me, having the availability of medical abortion in those types of facilities would change the scenario that we need to work hard for that, but the one that i loved was passed by california. it says that the clinics at every state university have to be able to provide medical abortion. and that's huge. if that could be done in any other state in the country, that would make a major difference. >> i love that and i think part of it also would be. they have a hard time taking time off particularly we are still lawyers at heart and optimistic about the legal system as a way forward. i urge those going to law school to read the book and i think our long-term goal is to have a gender equity amendment in the constitution and advanced reproductive freedom and it wouldbring in on another kind of gender equity issues and putting in place firmly a provision that bans that type of discrimination. right now, we are kind of resting on privacy. the supreme court has found in the constitution which i

let's talk a little healthcare moderna hitting new high this week, not so the rest of healthcare stocks. they have been as cramer may say subo suboptimal the prognosis is so bad it may be good. please explain >> as a state from healthcare the focus is on biontech we know there is bifurcation first, a table, what we know the total number of stocks in the spider's etf captures 195 there and you see $129 trillion. look at the look at the first comparative chart. two lines, one is the spider verses the i share this is an interesting diverse of a market cap etf for all intended purposes. the spread year to date is about 2500 basis you can see that there look at the next chart here are the two etfs again. this is the opportunity, look at the next three chart, this is the xbi and you can see the draw down that i annotated down to 30%. that 30% is exactly a 50% retracement from the pandemic low. you can see the line there then the final chart drawing the chart of support meaning a 30% sell-off a 50% trace of a move, right to the level that keeps holding we think the xbi is a circumstance of so

and as we have said from the start, we need everyone governors, leaders of educational and healthcare institutions, employers, small and large businesses, and all americans to do their part to defeat this virus. with that, let me turn it over to dr. walensky. >> good afternoon. let's begin with an overview of the data. last friday, cdc reported 157,000 new cases of covid-19. our seven-day average is about 137,000 cases per day. this represents an increase of nearly 12 percent from the prior seven-day average. the seven-day average of hospital admissions is about 11,000 per day, similar to the previous seven-day period. and the seven-day average of daily deaths have also increased to 739 per day, an increase of 23 percent from the previous seven-day period. as cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to rise, i want to reemphasize the serious risk of covid, especially to the unvaccinated, and the importance of vaccines to prevent severe illness and save lives. this slide shows data on hospitalizations among the vaccinated and unvaccinated reported to cdc's covid-net. this is a nati

keep in mind california is imposing first in the nation vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. now they have a deadline to get two doses by september 30. that order came down yesterday. >> many of the large healthcare systems have done this including ucsf and others. kaiser did it a few day asking. itprto come near vulnerable patients unless they are. >> reporter: for a full list of the vaccination sites in alameda, head to our website kpix.com. i am justin andrews, kpix5. >> a lot of options there, thank you, justin. >>> today people in napa will have to wear a mask inside public places regardless of vaccination status. the county announced the mandate yesterday and it went into effect at midnight. solano is the only area. >>> masking up and vaccines. we are live with what you need to know as we head into the weekend. >>> the governor will stop by a school in san bernardino to talk about return of full person instruction. we are expected to learn more about educational investments. we know the california come back plan includes pre-k and k through 12 education package totaling

i don't know if that's a national healthcare system or medicare for all but we need something.rices expose a lot of these inequities. it was horrible because some people didn't have access to healthcare or they didn't go into the hospital because they were afraid they couldn't paper it so this is part of my social infrastructure argument. i goes far as 14th amendment saying at the very least in this country we should treat everybody fairly and equally. of course they haven't been but i think that's something we need to talk about when we talk about infrastructure. >> we are schmidt would like to know, would lincoln be in favor of a line item veto to keep pork belly financing out of the infrastructure bill? >> i don't think he would have looked at that specifically because he was kind of a big picture thinker. continental railroad, how big of a project was that? when you look at history, all displaced and putting them on reservations, there are a lot of bad things because of economic policies, no doubt about it but how can you see that? i don't know what he would have thought ab

of availability of healthcare for many more people in california, enabling us to have children go back to school in a safe way, opening up more opportunities for testing, tracing, treatment, vaccination, so that people can go to work. just adjusting in the here and now, but a great governor overall. so we'll all be working very hard to make sure that people get out the vote. it's only a conversation in less you own the ground and get out of vote. no surprises. >> sorry to interrupt you, but let me dovetail, because a recent cbs news poll shows republicans are very motivated to get out the vote and remove newsom. democrats, not so much. so how is it democrats are going to rally and get their supporters out there, and actually do the voting? >> we have many more democrats and republicans, for one thing, but again, i think you ask me, was i surprised, i don't think many people took the recall seriously because it's not for a serious purpose. but the fact is, it exists, so we do have to get more enthusiastic about turning out the vote, and the governor is making a tour right now, calling a
