i love this. they have new house rules, remember the guy yelling out you lie. they have new house rules, the members of congress cannot call the president a liar, a hypocrite, that he's dishonest, president bush said where are the rules when i was president? hey, what's this all about? hey! >> we've been missing jay leno, we're glad he's back. congress as now they've gone back, back to the drawing board this week to come up with a health care reform plan that americans can live with. a lot is going on. here is the question, what's in it for the doctors, nurses and medical professionals, the men and women out there saving our lives. let's ask two congressmen, they're also doctors. republican charles must sany of louisiana, a heart surgeon and here in the studio republican michael burgess of texas, an ob-g ob-gyn. great to have you here. >> thank you. >> mike: great to have you here from new orleans. >> thank you. >> mike: let me get this underway asking a question i think has confused a lot of americans and congressman i'll ask you in new orleans. we know that the president has said that the ama is supportive and so therefore, he sort of said the doctors are all behind this health care reform bill. yet, only 20% of the positions in america belong to the ama. is there somewhat of a, maybe a not quite so honest approach? are the doctors of america truly behind the health care reform bill that the democrats have put forth? >> i don't think that's really true. i think if you look at state medical societies, a number of the specialty societies and i can tell you, many, many physicians i've spoken to, both in my home state of louisiana, and around the country, they're opposed to this because they see the very heavy hand of government getting involved in every aspect of our health care in a very disruptive way. >> let me go to you, congressman burgess, because we talked about incentives. the fact that there ought to be something in there for doctors if they do well. right now, doctors are reimbursed for the number of procedures they perform, not for the outcomes that those procedures produce. so if the doctors takes seven tries to get it right he gets compensated seven times. director that gets it right on the first time only paid once, only like you're rewarded for not doing well. should there be a way to reimburse physicians for the quality of the care as well as just the quantity of the care? >> well, certainly that's something that's been first and foremost and in the previous administration, secretary leavitt, governor leavitt had what was called the physician group practice demonstration project. the results of that recently the first round is produced where you actually reward a doctor or a medical group tore doing things right. it's intriguing, there are some real savings that have been shown in that. there are some other areas where the actual savings that they felt would have materialized didn't and here is the deal. we're not doing the one thing that would incentivize doctors in a big way right now, which would be medical liability reform. we've done that in texas, oklahoma over the weekend, just made a move to do that. and these programs work when they're instituted. and yeah, people will tell me that it doesn't bring down medical costs immediately. no, there are some-- there is some learned behavior involved, but will take some time to adjust, but we have seen such a significant change in taxes since 2003, i frankly don't know why that's not part of a discussion. >> congressman, before we take a break here, i need to ask you, congressman, here, has brought up about medical liability. it's a big issue, doctors talk about it, but it's not something that the democrats have been all that anxious to do. would that make a big impact not so much for you as a congressman, but for you as a physician, specifically a heart surgeon? >> well there's no question that tort reform is necessary to try it bring down the cost of health care. it's not a sill veer bullet, but something that's desperately needed in my opinion. if you look at behavior and the things that drive up costs, the threat of frivolous lawsuits and the fat of the matter is we do have a number of frivolous lawsuits that materialize and go away over a matter of years, this puts physicians in a defensive posture and they tend to do more often times than what might be needed just to protect themselves. it's one of the cost drivers in health care and i think it-- the you know, medical liability reform is clearly an important part of the reform effort. we're going to keep both the congressmen here and visit with them a little more about the health care bill. how it's going to impact your life. we'll be right back. do not go anywhere. [applause]. when i melt to sleep with new unisom sleep melts i get to sleep faster, stay asleep mruz mruz (applause) >> we're back with congressman from texas and louisiana. barack obama has performed some managic here recently, he has been talking now for months that we had 47 million uninsured americans. watch this. >> in the wealthiest nation on earth. 46 million of our fellow citizens have no coverage. now, if you are one of nearly 46 million people who don't have health insurance, you'll finally have quality affordable option. now, i don't have to explain to you why it's so important to pass health reform for 46 million. >> okay, 46 i was pretty close, but then all of a sudden, get a reaction from both congressmen, this last week when we was speaking to the joint session, listen to what he says. >> we are the only democracy, the only advanced democracy on earth, the only wealthy nation that allows such hardship for millions of its people. there are now more than 30 million american citizens who cannot get coverage. >> mike: okay, i want to know what happened in the middle of the night that suddenly insured 17 or 16 million americans? congressman, let me start with you. what did i miss during the night? >> well, i remember really taking note of that change in the number and now, i suppose what the president did was he subtracted the illegal aliens in the country, but he didn't really explain the difference between the 30 million and the 46 million in his speech. so, i can only assume he subtracted the illegal immigrants in the country and, but you know, that's also highlights the difficulty with th this nisumber. and we on the republican side of the aisle now, let's get really accurate numbers and see what's behind this. we know, for instance, that four and a half million are college students and graduate students when they hit 22, are forced off their parent's insurance. i think that's a bipartisan area of agreement we should let them stay on if they're still dependent on their parents. the bottom line, you have to understand what are we trying to do? what, and once you break down that number, target solutions to the problem. >> congressman burgess, i'll bring you in on the discussion and i want to ask you m this question, what in the health care bill do you like? is there something about reform that we need to be doing that republicans and democrats could agree on and we ought to be focused on? >> well, governor, in fact, there is and it's disappoint to go me that we don't focus on that. one thing i heard from the town halls over the summer, people don't trust us to do something as big as we've carved out for ourselves. what if we broke it down as the doctor said, broke it down to some of these populations that are really suffering and people recognize that reform needs to happen. then we could do that right off the bat with the people who have what are called preexisting conditions and so-called insurance rescissions, nothing is more offensive to an american than they think of someone writing out the check and paying the premium every month and get a tough medical diagnosis and insurance is gone. that's wrong, we can fix that, the president and i and most republicans agree on that point. we could have a something for the american people and could have done that before we went home for august if we'd been serious about this and again, the american people do feel betrayed by so many things that happened the past six or eight months. we took over the financial section-- (applause) >> we took over their cars, and now we want their doctor's office and people are fed up and that's what they told us over august and many hear that in different ways. >> mike: everybody who went out for the town hall meetings, some were afraid to go to the town hall. thanks congressmen, great to have you both here and hope we can visit with you again and hope you guys will-- >> thank you, governor. >> mike: you already know that i love music and i believe that music and art should be a part of every student's curricula because the ultimate economic stimulus is to stimulate creativity. coming up we're going to be joined by the ceo of nam the national association of music merchants and my partnership with them to put an instruments in the hands of every kid in america and you're going to meet a group of teenagers who found real purpose for music. amerid you meet a group ofte my name is chef michael. and my dog bailey and i love to hang out in the kitchen... so she can watch me cook. you just love the aromas of beef tenderloin... and, ooh, rotisserie chicken. yes, you do.
