willie nelson shows us how he's going stronger than ever. jan crawford sits with him. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." in a rac to the finish line. in life, it's how you get there that matters most. like when i found out i had a blood clot in my leg. my doctor said that it could travel to my lungs and become an even bigger problem. so he talked to me about xarelto®. >>xarelto® is the first oral prescription blood thinner proven to treat and help prevent dvt and pe that doesn't require regular blood monitoring or changes to your diet. for a prior dvt i took warfarin, which required routine blood testing and dietary restrictions. not this time. while i was taking xarelto®, i still had to stop racing, but i didn't have to deal with that blood monitoring routine. >>don't stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines.
7:53 am
xarelto® can cause serious bleeding, and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is proven to reduce the risk of dvt and pe, with no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for me. ask your doctor about xarelto® today. oh wait, our tent is falling.... you got it? we need nails. with just five minutes' prep campbell's slow cooker sauces help you cook a real dinner, right in the middle of real life. i did it....

8:11 am
at the astronomical cost of cancer drugs in the u.s. last night on "60 minutes" lesley stahl found that some doctors are pushing back against some of the pharmaceutical companies. we're at one of the premier
8:12 am
cancer centers. >> reporter: this doctor's battle against cancer drugs started in 2012 when the fda approved zaltrap for treating colon cancer. he compared that to another drug already on the mar kit, avastin. he said both target the same patient population work in essentially the same way, and when given as part of chemotherapy delivered the identical result extending median survival by 1.4 months or 42 days. >> they look to be about the same. to me it looked like a coke and pepsi sort of then. >> then discovered how much it would cost. $1,100 per month. more than twice that of avastin. >> $5,000 to $11,000. did have it some side effects? was it toxic?
8:13 am
anything to explain the double price? >> if anything it looks like there might be a little more toxicity in the zaltrap study. >> reporter: he contacted sloane kettering kettering. >> the phone rang. do you remember what he said. >> he said, peter, think we're not going to include a new cancer drug because it costs too much. >> had you ever heard a response like that before? >> no. my response was i ran down. i think i took the elevator, but exactly very our own dr. david agus leads the westside medical center in california. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> reporter: how do pharmaceutical companies decide what to charge? >> it's whatever the market will bear. basically they choose their price. and when you have a patient with advanced cancer and an insurance
8:14 am
company who has to pay, especially the government, they have to pay, it's an inefficient system. >> one of the most eye-opening things is when "60 minutes" pointed out in lesley stahl's piece that they slashed the price by half. what needs to be be done to prevent that make sure it doesn't happen? >> drug pricing right now is in a rational exuberance. we have to do it based on value. we have to look at drugs and say what value does it provide to patient and there needs to be rationale in that rar. it's not right for patient or the community. >> you know medicaid purchased billions of dollars in drugs. if they any goes yated the price of these drugs if the laws were available to do that would this change things?
8:15 am
>> no question about it. companies in europe are allowed to negotiate and they have a much cheaper drug program than we do. same with canada. but they don't negotiate with pharma. >> why not? >> that's what's in the system. that needs to change. there needs to be a rational role for sfliegspricing. >> how do you do that other than finding a way to use the market? >> look at the benefit to the patient and qualify and kwablt fie that and start to put a price on that. let's say you treat lung cancer and it gives an extra two months and you treat bladder cancer for two months. you're going to charge differently based on each so there needs to be a system to look at which there isn't right now. it's charge whatever you want. >> there's something wrong with that. >> are you going to make it a law that the companies can not charge so much or get so much profit?
8:16 am
who's going to do the regulation? >> that's the good question. who's going do it? is it going to be the fda? is it going to be health and human services medicare? is it going to be a separate agency? we need to figure it out. one of the biggest cause of bankruptcy now in the country is being diagnosed with cancer and the drugs. we have to change that. >> i think lesley's report got the ball rolling. were you surprised by that report last night? >> no. it's been around for a year or two. and it's great that "60 minutes" have brought it to the forefront because patients and doctors need to stand up more. >> thank you, dr. agus. what kind of medication would you be more thankful for? aspirin or medicinal marijuana. what's the result of that ben hogan. >> then there's bart scott next on "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
8:17 am
according to oi officials of cdc, the first case of ebola has been diagnosed in texas and according to web m.d., you already have it. >> announcer: this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by toyota. let's go places. [thinking] started my camry. drove to her wedding. did not forever hold my peace. [laughing] wow! the bold new camry. one bold choice leads to another. toyota. let's go places. at chili's, fresh is now. now, that's a burger. and now you can pay and go when you're ready. now, isn't that convenient? the new lunch double burger from chili's lunch combo menu, starting at 6 bucks.

8:20 am
8:21 am
have you started the countdown? 79 days s days to christmas. who did that? >> it's not even christmas. not even halloween. >> as i was saying there was a new -- >> i forgot where i was. >> there's a new "60 minutes" poll out. the survey finds that 49% of americans think regifting is never a good idea while 34% say it's okay. 16% say it's fine just don't get caught. ben hogan is here with us aet the table. let's start with health. surprisingly people are thankful for their health but they're not thanking their doctors. >> isn't that interesting? they're at the bottom of the list. at the top of the list all across the country is god.
8:22 am
56%. lifestyle choices, 24%, genes, 14%, doctors at 4%. when you do the regional breakdown here. down south not surprisingly god gets a whopping 70%. lifestyle choices are only 14%. and there's a reason there's a church on every corner in the south and a juice bar and yoga studio out west because lifestyle choices go way up to 31%. god goes down. >> when it comes to it, what are americans for? >> i was surprised. aspirin. 53%. nothing else comes close. we're all familiar with taking an aspirin because we don't feel well and people take it daily for various preventive reasons. marijuana, medical or otherwise comes in second at 9%. whether that's low or high depends on your perspective. >> i love that tums made the list. >> tums is there. birth control is only 7%.
8:23 am
if men knew what they were getting out of birth control pills it would be higher and viagra, 1%. >> what about handwritten notes which i think is so important? >> me too. >> i was surprised how many people agree with you. 82% say handwritten notes are a good habit for young people to cultivate. 14% say it's an outdated unnecessary gesture. a lot of people don't want to see this tradition go andway and people know a handwritten note really stands out. >> what's the best way to thank someone for dinner? we know what gayle does. >> do you want to share with the audience your way of thanking people for dinner? >> you don't want to reveal it now. >> she does something very nice. >> all you have to do is sa thank you. >> you're overdoing it gayle, but it's a nice thing to do. 63% say all you have to do is say thank you.
8:24 am
28% say next time you go out to dinner pick the check. only 4% say you have to invite home. >> and kids have gratitude. >> kids what do they appreciate the least? >> their parents. >> 41% say kids don't appreciate what i do for them. >> sometimes you have to point it out. >> we appreciate you. >> thank you for having me. >> more results of the 60 minutes/"vanity fair" poll can be found in "vanity fair" and online. ahead, 11 million people shopping on one site. >> i'm ben tracy in san francisco. have you ever had a poster of a cat with crazy eyes at not known where to get snit we'reo take you to one of the largest shopping m
