I suddenly feel better sit next to a dock.

The biggest selling -- of the president's health care plan was that if you like your coverage remember -- be able to keep that.

But it turns out that's one of several catch phrases that may not be true now doctor Marc Siegel from the -- medically team is here to explain.

You let me get all done you -- -- patients in your office and -- out interviewing people to deciding whether or not these are medical -- Or truths let's talk about the first one.

Okay well the first one is absolutely -- if you have insurance it doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna get care.

And I interviewed some parents that went to one of those top sports medicine.

Experts in the country who actually operator on NFL MVP from the Minnesota vikings' Adrian Peterson he's tremendous yet.

His trip -- considered experimental.

Let's have a look.

Choices presented us as parents.

-- to have a surgery with a 95%.

Success -- -- with no coverage.

-- have -- surgery done that does not address the underlying problem and they would cover it.

Or have our son quit the sport that he loves though it doesn't that was around three very good choices.

Can you imagine you don't get the treatment.

Or you get the treatment you have to pay for yourself so insurance equals care is a net worth -- number two obamacare means higher taxes and higher premiums drop off that's a fact.

The whole thing is attacks you have an excise tax in the capital gains statue of attaching to sell your home -- -- -- and you don't get insurance.

There's more taxes built into this -- you can imagine in premiums of course they're gonna skyrocket when you try to cover everybody.

And everything we have comprehensive care when you -- all these preventive services somebody's got to pay for.

-- people to start to find this out it trickled out the last couple years but now it's in full force a number three newest technologies are not in jeopardy.

Over Obama -- a lot of discussion about whether inventions and things like that would be a bike -- what did you find out.

Well I think it I think it's a myth but but -- insurance company spokesperson that I interviewed who disagrees with me and says that it's -- -- their technology is not in jeopardy.

Let's have a look.

Health plans are always -- the literature.

And evaluating.

New promising treatments and technologies.

Often they rely on the work.

Of those professional groups who devote their lives.

To looking at information.

And determining what's safe and what's effective and what should be introduced into the mainstream.

But what you I think it's going to be taxed you of course and I don't see how you can cover the latest technology or how you could have an incentive for new technologies and new treatments.

When your busy trying to cover everybody with this insurance that you can use whenever you want.

I think that it's gonna be in jeopardy I think insurance companies and and drug companies are gonna say we don't have treatments here that I'm gonna have a market -- -- -- not gonna have the same incentive.

Last a doctor -- and thanks so much have a fantastic Friday and a great week and -- took a little and we can thank you.
