So, as an American citizen, what exactly are you entitled to when it comes to your health care? 

In tonight’s edition of the No Spin News, O’Reilly breaks down exactly what your citizenship should guarantee you.

“What you're entitled to is a fair health care premium... Access to doctors in your neighborhood … You're entitled to the state to deliver fair, if you don't have any money, Medicaid. But not unlimited crazy stuff.”

“Mandatory health insurance is not going to happen under the Republican policy,” said O’Reilly. “It's a fairness efficiency program that the Republicans have to come up with. [The GOP] is in enormous danger if it doesn't get anything done…But if you're going to hold out and you're a Republican senator and you're going to say ‘well it's not perfect and well, you know ,we should have this and conservative principles are that’ I’ve got to tell you, boy, you’re gonna lose the war. You've got to be reasonable.” 

In addition to the basics of the legislation, Bill also dove deep into what Senate Republicans are earmarking funds for in their least bill. 

The new Senate health care bill, unveiled by Senate Republicans today, would provide $45 billion over 10 years to help combat the growing opioid abuse problem in the United States. 

The Senate's initial bill offered $2 billion to address the opioid crisis for 2018 but Republican senators Rob Portman from Ohio and Shelley Moore Capito from West Virginia urged the Senate leadership to increase that earmark before rolling out a revised bill. 

Although addiction experts are saying that $45 billion still falls well short of what is needed to effectively combat opioid addiction in America, the ACA offers no assistance towards the issue.

In tonight’s No Spin News Bill gave his plan for the future of American health care and addressed the addiction funding in the Senate’s bill. Bill believes it is personal responsibility – not federal funding – that effectively combats drug addiction. 

“Yes, it's better for society if the insurance companies can get you in rehab, but you can't bankrupt the country for it. If somebody is going to go to rehab four, five, six times, there's got to be a limit on it. Some personal responsibility.”
