Gerri our top story tonight, another omacare lie exposed. The white house going on the defensive after it was revealed that they knew for years and l. A. Is of americans could not keep their health plans. Despite president obamas repeated assurances to the American Public if they like their plan they could keep it. Here to weigh in, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise institute and which lowry, editor for the national review. I will start with you. Hundreds of thousands of people. Nyh take a look at these numbers , california, new york, all of the country, florida, losing coverage. We were told not once, not twice, but multiple times that we could keep our Insurance Plans. What happened . It represents an enormous credibility problem for this administration. He said it repeatedly. It is on tape. We are hearing it over and over again on every media outlet. He did not know, you should have. This is a key basic element of the law, creating a federal definition of insurance. Your plan does not meet the definition you are out of luck. Anyone would have known this is going to happen. Gerri to you. The administration is fighting back saying that, well, look, the information was out there. He talked about this a couple of years ago in the media. It is all hats. Do you agree . No. I mean, they never admitted, they never previously admitted until this very moment and millions of americans would lose the Health Insurance they had. As rates just indicated, the president has kept the line if you like your plan you will be able to keep it. Everyone who understood the lot knew that was not always going to happen and specifically the Obama Administration regulations written for their grandfather plans that might have been allowed to keep going, they wrote regulations summarily in tightly that no one could ever meet the tests. They did this on purpose. They wanted the plan to close to force millions of people out of there are insurance and to populate the new Obamacare Exchanges. It was not an accident. This was intentional. Gerri it was intentional. Do you believe that . I have the sense that the administration is totally on the sixes and sevens. Apparently there were not told that the laws i was ready to go public. Now youre in telling me that this was all intentional. If these changes are going to work and youre going to have the insurance pools working began in Healthy People to sign up which means you cannot have them outside of the system by affordable catastrophic coverage it does not have all of these comprehensive benefits mandated by obamacare. You need any effect to get rid of those policies which is what the law and the regulations are about. The problem for the demonstration here, outwitting last night. Nothing in the law that says this would happen. They can spend it any way that they want. Nothing will overcome the cold hard fact of those cancellation notices which have forced this debate and force the media finally to pay attention. Gerri you are saying the tweet right there, shealks, of course, but the fact that nothing in obamacare forces people out of their insurance policies. But that is just not true, is it . These insurance policies have to match the mandate which says you have to have the essential Health Benefits that are diverse, various command the. That is is that right. As i indicated, there was a grandfathered provision. The administration wrote a regulation saying you essentially could not change any small provision in an Insurance Plan, otherwise you would become disqualified from a grandfather provision. Every Insurance Plan has to Say Something every year, so they have all become disqualified and are no longer compliant and have to go into obamacare and cannot stand me more. That is why all of these cancellation letters and gone out the door. Adelle 110 still is under, but he has a piece on a website that calculates that more people could lose their insurance of the next year. Gerri how is that possible . Obviously at this point the obamacare website is so nonfunctional virtually no one has signed up. Even the administration would have to admit no one is signed up for the new Insurance Plans under this system. Meanwhile, though estimates indicate this would be in a couple Million People that have already received cancellation notices to be if theyre being forced to go into an nonfunctional system, by definition of peopl have lost their coverage for 2014 and have gained it at this point. Gerri tonight senator Lamar Alexander is begging, asking, begging for weekly reports. We cannot even get a monthly report. When is the administration going to fess up, come clean can tell the American People what theyre d out as long asr money . They can and are hoping that the number takes up in the respectability and it could be a long time until that happens. Very important political opporunity. Ron johnson, senator from wisconsin will offer legislation grandfathering in these plans which will have a lot of political purges and put a lot of pressure on the democrats. Gerri is that the solution . Absolutely. It is never too late for the administration to change course. I think senator johnson is during executive the right thing. Pass a piece of leglation, exit to do what the president said it would. If you like your plan you can keep it. Allow insurers to keep their old plans under the old rules going into 2014 which was of a big part of the problem it democrats and the congress and the president would agree. Gerri unfortunately hundreds of thousands of people are already at of insurance policies, and i bet there is one big constituency that would argue against this, the insurers themselves to have already changed the way that they do business to accommodate this law. It is such a mess and says dickey. Guys, i appreciate your coming on. Thank you so much for being with us. Fascinating glamorization. He knows where it will the next. Thank you very much. Well, the white house promised average americans could easily signed up for the Obamacare Exchanges, but instead it is so confusing that the process of signing up is now being offered as a graduate course. The university of texas at austin is offering a graduate course on navigating the ins and outs of the Obamacare Exchange enrollment. Starting this spring, this spring every thursday for three hours phd students will examine the texas experience through the federally run exchange at healthcare. Maybe the folks in washington could sit in on a few glasses to see what a mess they have put us into. What a story. Obamacare is now causing insurance companies, believe it or not, to dump doctors, leaving their patients out in the cold. With more on this from a president of new york state medical society. Thank you for coming on the show. Great to have you here. So pleased to join us. What is going not . Physicians are receiving notices from united and part of Blue Cross Blue Shield and emblem that the termination from the Medicare Advantage plans. This is happening in many states across the country, and new york state, it is happening to many, many physicians and their patients. Gerri to you have a sense of how many of getting the boot . Most Companies Wont tell us exactly how many doctors are involved. United told us that about 2,000 doctors from the downstate region are being terminated with about 8,000 patients involved in the downstate areas. Gerri people have got to be nervous and on edge. What is the impact of the marketplace . It is significant because a lot of patients depend on their doctors. They need continuity of care. Some of the patients actually get the notice before the doctors got the notice, so they called up the doctor and there was confusion. It is very disturbing to patients. Some of them are very fragile. In a disservice and necker tends to be deleterious to their health. Otherwise it is just a Big Inconvenience to have to find a new doctor. They have to transport them. Gerri i am aware that obamacare is not working to build up Medicare Advantage. Just the opposite. Is that is what is going on . That is the excuse that one of the Insurance Company to less. 8 percent reduction in reimbursement for the Medicare Advantage plans. I have seen other figures, anywhere from one to 5 reduction. They tell you this is part of what theyre going to cut costs. It does not really makes sense because you would think that an adequate network would be important. Gerri apparently it is not. We learn something new every day with obamacare. Now, are you one of these doctors . I am not affected personally. Gerri but you know people who are, presumably. I do. Gerri how will the care be made of . The patient will have to find another physician in the network or they may have to switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan. Gerri are you getting complaints from consumers, patients who are upset with what is going out . Yes, many complaints. People want their doctor to appeal. A lot of people are upset. Gerri thank you for coming on. It really is a great job you did explaining. We appreciate your time. Gerri now we want to know what you think. Our question. Are you worried about losing your doctor .

Gerri calls are mounting for heads to roll over the botched Obamacare Exchanges, and the willis report is live from dc tomorrow as health and Human Services secretary testifies in public under oath for the very first time. Joining me now, republican congressman fred upton of michigan to the drilling of this debacle tomorrow. Welcome back to the show. Tommy what you are expecting from the secretary tomorrow morning . We have a lot of questions. We sat down with republican members this afternoon and went through with people will ask. Were all concerned about the cost. They spent three years trying to develophe site, hundreds of millions of dollars. I dont know if you knew this, but it went down again today, yesterday, over the weekend. It is not ready for prime time. Gerri it went down today . It went down today. We just got a notice from cms p it went down an hour ago. So somehow they have to put this together. You remember that this is not we are not johnny come lately. We have been after this for awhile. The 13th hearing that we have had over the last year or so. And they assured us, look to us in the eye, it will be ready to run. They never even tested it end to end until only a week or two prior to the deadline. It failed then. Meanwhile, that is the easy step. A tougher issue is going to be what happens when those providers or patients go to see their provider. The hospital, doctor. Will they be larger in . Gerri and the story breaking all over the place for the last 24 hours that millions of americans are being told that insurance policy that you have right now is being cancelled. This was a promise that obamacare was so long. When a province complained about the law democrats said it is the law of the land. Stand back because youre in the minority. It seems that if the law was solemn allied complaining about it makes all the sense in the world. Thats right. Millions, im not kidding, millions of people are being told that there Insurance Plan is being cancelled. I introduced legislation yesterday. We will charge to put it on the fast track. More than 50 cosponsors of ready. H. R. 5330. If you have a private Insurance Plan earlier this year, january, you can keep it to each you dont have to give it up. You will not be fined if it is cancelled did we are hearing from folks his premiums have gone up. They somehow figured out how to get through the maze. And in it is going to be as much as of 400 increase in premium. Thousands of dollars in additional costs that theyave to pay. It is not right. We are going to try to offer the choice. Gerri the administrationays people will pay less, not more, paying 50 per month for this news coverage. Does that square with what you know of what people are facing when they are able to sign up . Some people may pay less. That is for sure, but we did a study of it this summer that in 45 states the average will be higher than what theyre paying now. Why not let them have the choice if they want to keep their health plan, they can keep it. If they can buy something that is better for them as their health needs change or whatever the factor is, let them decide what it ought to be, not the government telling them what they have to do. Gerri here is the of the promise. We just had a guest on moments ago talking about thousands of doctors in the state of new york that will be fired from Medicare Advantage. People of losing there doctors. If you remember, there was a promise that you could keep your doctor. Basso in new york in many states across the country. What should be done about that . That seems to be in a sense of promise. You are exactly right. That was one of the promises. I am sure a number of members will talk about that tomorrow. This bill is not ready for primetime. That is what we have been trying to say. The stakes in time to see if we cannot fix it to allow people to have the choices that they need to have. You know, how many people actually signing of for this . Have heard in some states it is pretty small. Yet more people of being told that there will lose their insurance than actually have been able to sign non. The other question that we will be asking is the security of the information if the individual logsdon. Even today the works for breaking a story about how it is pretty easy to hack. Gerri i looked at her testimony. It is already on line. You can read it. Nowhere in here can i find the number of people enrolled. She is not going to tell you tomorrow. She will get passed, i can assure you that. Last week the contractors to testified in essence set we are not going to tell you that hhs can if they decide to do so. We will be asking that question tomorrow. Gerri it is a pleasure seeing you. I will see you tomorrow because we will be in dc, for your hearing. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. Thank you very much. Gerri coming up tomorrow, as i said, live from washington. The house firing squad. This will be a showdown that you will not want to mess. So you have to watch for that. Later in the show, with nearly all americans have to say about obamacare. I am joined by one man who is in the struggle firsthand after numerous attempts, failed attempts to get obamacare. Stay with us. Gerri from the glitch you website, the sky high premiums, obamacare has been a nightmare for the average consur. Tonight, one mans experience navigating these boxed exchanges joining me now to my david. Thank you for coming on the show. Tell us we were talking of a break.
