your preexisting conditions as a barrier to getting health care and just go through what it really means for people. and it will be hard for me to understand how the vast majority of americans wouldn't at the end of that breathe a sigh of relief. >> there is one line in this story i was reading that i know exactly what the right-wing is going to do with it. if states aren't ready, the law calls for washington to step in and run things. and there we go -- but it's only because they have balked in implementing the law. >> exactly. by the way all members of congress are going to be required to be part of the health care exchanges. that ought to give some comfort to people too that it can't be that bad of deal, right? >> yeah. >> members of congress are going

planning to carry out this law. this is really -- the fact that they have just been routing against obama means they are routing against their own people. >> that's right. >> although they are expected to play a crucial role, only 14 states plus d.c. have actually adopted a plan for doing so. hoping the law will be overturned. they have resisted setting up new insurance policies. the national association of insurance commissioners expect only about half of the states to be ready january 1, 2014. here is the line john, i was saying to a jan schakowsky you -- this is predictable, if the states not ready, the law calls for washington to step in and run things. what are we going to hear?

step in and run the country. if you are not ready now the government is going to have to do this and they are going to accuse him of wanting to do that all along. >> exactly. and did we nationalize the auto business, no? >> it is supposed to provide one-stop shopping but the court added a new wrinkle, ruling that states cannot be threatened with the loss of their entire medicaid allotment. so states that turn -- john you just said some republicans have said they are turning it down. states that turn down the money will still be stuck with treating uninsured patients in the hospitals. >> yeah. >> it's like screw you -- >> they hate obama more than they love america.

>> yeah. administration officials predict states will participate even though it will take some to decide. seniors stand to receive better medicare coverage, and no copayments for preventative care, unless we have a vice president paul ryan in which case -- >> oh, god, yeah that will happen.

out that ridiculous holder contempt hearing yesterday. i have a scorch more right-wing world. rupert murdoch. >> calling the supreme court hearings, i'm a little surprised, but it clearly will be seen a victory for the president. but on the other hand every poll shows it is not a polar bill. >> newspapers. >> every poll does not say -- >> every pal. >> all of the provisions in it are popular -- >> exactly. >> how shy of people to want to die of preexisting conditions. that's popular. >> all right. representative barbara lee as i mentioned was on the house floor yesterday. good morning. >> good morning. >> first of all let's celebrate.

what a day, right? for affordable care? >> yeah, a great day for the american people. when you look at the benefits of what has taken place already and the future benefits it's just quite amazing now to see that 105 million more americans won't face any more lifetime benefits on health care children will be covered regardless of preexisting conditions. >> the affordable care act will now take its right place as an exampling of what this country can do. >> absolutely. and it was done under the leadership of president obama and a democratic house and senate. and i'm very happy about what we did together. i helped write many of the provisions in the bill. when you look at what we were trying to do as to providing

testing and care and treatment for high-risk populations, hiv and aids when you look at expanding training to diversify the health work force. there are some major provisions in this bill that will help millions of people. it will benefit our small business community like you would not believe. also i just have to say finally, that health care is a booming industry -- i'm sorry it's an industry. and you are talking about the creation of tens of thousands of jobs out of this as well as it is going to reduce the deficit so it was a good day. >> yeah, and that's why the mandated started as a conservative idea, too right? >> right. and that's why many of us pushed back on it and got as much as we could get, especially during the hard economic times when they

relied on medicaid and wanted to make sure the seniors had a reduction in their prescription drug benefits. we got the best we could get, and i think it is an excellent. it is a good foundation and i'm hoping to move forward now with single payer. >> yeah now a lot of these republican-run states have got to get on the stick -- you look at how they have really just dragged their feet on implementing this. >> sure, and this has been so political. it's like mitch mcconnell said, they want to make sure that the president is a one-term president. anything they can do -- like doing the crazy -- really ridiculous things they are doing on the house floor rather than

looking at how to create jobs and turn the economy around, they are politically posturing an agenda run by the far right. >> this was mitch mcconnell yesterday. >> americans want us to start over, and today's decision does nothing to change that. >> my god. >> how -- what else do you say but sore losers? there was an election we enacted what the president ran on. the supreme court ruled it constitutional. at what point do we have americans? >> it shows how intent they are on trying to make president barack obama a one-term president. and the american people will see through that, and when they start realizing the benefits that many have already achieved like 26 million young people are on their parents health plans. some on. >> yesterday, congresswoman, you

make us proud as our representative in california out here every day. but you joined other members of the congress who walked off of the floor instead of voting on the partisan witch hunt. >> this may look for good political theater in the minds of some, but it is both a crass effort and a grave disservice to the american people. >> you said i will not participate in the vote to hold the attorney general in contempt of congress. >> absolutely not. and several of us went to the congressional black caucus and laid our argument. and the process was so immoral and unethical that to be party to it makes us complicit in it. the congressional black caucus lead this effort with others, and then the full democratic caucus passed a resolution in

support of what we lead. and we decided just to leave. this charade didn't warrant voting yes or no. because this was a process that was worse than flawed. it was illegal. they were asking for documents that any president would want to keep under the executive privilege provision, because much of what they would want first of all would be illegal. second of all, the attorney general has turned over thousands and thousands and thousands pages of documents which had nothing to do with anything but their plan to make this a one-term president. >> was the timing -- >> i don't think they thought the supreme court would rule in favor of the law. i think they were ready to go

out and out to think fact that the justices were going to overturn it. >> oh yeah, spoken boehner said no spiking the ball on health care. >> yeah, i think the timing -- first it was just unfortunate that they did this but they have nothing else to do. if they were going to do anything to help the american people, they would be putting forth jobs. >> that's right. contempt power should be used sparingly only in the most egregious situations, and -- >> yeah, he ended the process. so this is a charade. the process was horrible. and this is -- one of the times i felt very proud of the full democratic caucus, because we -- there were a few of us who just pushed, pushed pushed to make the argument to engage in

such a charade would be a party to a process that we should not dignify. >> and i have to say representative. the saddest part for me is how powerful the gun lobby is in this country. they got that many democrats to vote for this charade because of pressure in their directs. >> it's hard to believe that any lobby could make any argument that this was about gun control. but i hope people wake up and understand the power of the nra, and we need gun safety and gun control when you look at gun violence in your country. this has nothing to do with second amendment rights. 95% of us agree that hunters should have the right to hunt. that's not an issue. the issue is guns in the streets of america.

allowing guns to be sold to those without a license -- it's just outrageous. >> yeah. you said it best yesterday the contempt was unpress dented unwarranted and unnecessary. gandhi once said non-cooperation with evil is as powerful as cooperation with good. good for you. >> we have to be strong and have a backbone, and let people know we are on their side we want to create jobs and turn the economic around, and we're not going through these political charades. >> thank you and god bless you and god bless america!

[ laughter ] >> you are doing a reporter's notebook about -- it's a series on gay politicians. >> yeah. >> tell us about it. >> obviously we were inspired by pride month and over the past months in my reporting i have come across a lot of lbgt candidates running for office, and i thought it would be really interesting if we profiled them but took a look at the questions that people aren't normally asking them. talk about what it really means to campaign as a gay person.

how do you use your coming out narrative? how do you use the idea that you are gay on your fund-raising? are there attacks on your sexuality? so we decided to profile the candidates, ask those tough questions, and profile the races they are in, and it turned out very interesting for so many different reasons, one is we found out this is kind of the year of the gay candidate. >> i was going to say you look at news week the first gay president even though he is obviously not gay, but you are right, it seems to be there is more gay people running this year than usual, right? >> exactly. there are more gay people running, but more viable candidates in races for more high-profile offices. we have gay candidates running for senate for congress high

profile legislature and city council positions, it seems that voter sentiment is leaning in favor of being gay not necessarily mattering. >> if there's anything i hate it's an unviable gay. you reached out to 32 openly lbgt candidates got responses from less than half. one dropped out at the last minute, with the staff saying it was too gay. [ laughter ] >> direct quote. too gay. [ laughter ] >> what does that mean? you say in some ways -- it's the ultimate goal for sexuality not to have a party platform and sexuality isn't immediately visible, but they still don't have to convince the gay community they are gay enough. there are interesting issues in

this. >> exactly. when i heard this series is just too gay, my initial reaction was i felt punched in the stomach. but these are politicians, running for office, they don't necessarily want to call attention to their sexuality. >> you said it best they have to convince the undecided voters that this is something that doesn't matter. i only came out a couple of years ago, jo because for me -- i just -- didn't want to be defined that way i guess, or i was a private person. whatever your reasons are at the time, and i think as we move forward, we all feel the need at different times to just speak our truth, right? >> right. exactly. so i applaud the politicians that worked with me on this series, but at the same time i understand the politicians that say, yes, i am an out candidate,

but i don't necessarily need to wear that on my sleeve in this race. >> you said hopefully we're moving in the direction where gay will not be another anymore. >> exactly. and it's a big contrast too. i interviewed mark tacono who is running for congress out in california, and he ran 20 years ago, and that race was just ugly. a complete smear campaign against him for being a homosexual. and now he has the complete opposite experience. so i think that shows the difference. >> the headline i loved best was first pentagon marks gay pride month. gay service members celebrated a year ago at the pentagon.

they were saying there were no drag queens and stuff like that but they said most of the pentagon audience wore uniforms or suits. that to me is just touching. >> yeah. that -- that was very touching, just the fact that they are -- yeah a year after don't ask don't tell, they are sipping champagne at the pentagon with their partner, and allowed to openly be this and express themselves in a way they wouldn't have been able to. >> one of them said i'm having champagne with the commander in chief. and one said i happen to be gay, but more importantly, i'm a marine. >> yeah. a lot of these people would say the same thing. i am gay, but i'm a politician

first. >> yeah. all right. jo piazza thanks so much for taking time with us. >> thanks so much have a great vacation, stephanie. >> oh. [ laughter ] >> mitten yesterday after the decision. >> obamacare was bad policy yesterday. it's bad policy today -- >> when i did it in massachusetts -- >> obamacare was bad law yesterday. it is bad law today. >> blah blah blah blah. >> this is the best headline yesterday, somebody said now mitt is going to have to run against himself. [ laughter ] >> i disagree with the supreme court's decision and i agree with the dissent. what the court did not do, i will do on my first day if elected president of the united states, and that is i will act to appeal obamacare. >> we'll make a note of it

those with kids with preexisting conditions, okay. >> we will act to repeal the very same thing he enacted in massachusetts. >> that's right. >> which is why rick santorum is right. you can choose whether you want to have a larger and larger government separating you and your doctor whether you are comfortable with more deficits -- >> what? >> what? >> what are you talking about? that's a lie. he just told a lie. >> how many likes is the picture of boner and pelosi on my facebook page up to? >> let me check. >> nancy pelosi is smiling and clapping and boner is just -- [ baby crying ] >> ahhhhh. crying orange down his face. >> 1,279 likes. >> boner yesterday. >> the court makes the decision

about whether this law is constitutional, doesn't mean that the law is wise. it doesn't mean that the law is good for the country. >> no! >> and [ mumbling ] . >> -- repealing! no it doesn't. [ bell chimes ] [ applause ] >> but if the court said it's unconstitutional they would have said of course the supreme court's means everything. >> they are raising a lot of money on it. this -- >> that's why it is a huge victory for republicans. >> it's really riled up their base. >> okay. good. good on ya. >> something to worry about. >> kevin mccarthy said it did nothing to end the debate on health care. yeah, except you lost. ♪ nah, nah, nah, nah ♪

>> the republican from wisconsin yesterday, senator ron johnson -- i'm sorry, i skipped ahead. >> oh, you did. >> our rights are likely to be [ inaudible ] happy and we started saying beyond that realm, when you create a right or somebody, you create an obligation for somebody else, and then you are taking away that person's right. and that may not seem that great, but it is true, and our nation is based on the foundation of freedom and government -- >> blah, blah blah. >> was that crying tea party children in the background? [ baby crying ] >> all right. i saved the best [ censor bleep ] for last. michele bachmann a tad bit unhinged. >> i'm profoundly disappointed but i urge people to read the

dis dis dis dissint, because that said very clearly this was an activist court that you saw today. they did not just uphold obamacare, this supreme court rewrote obamacare in line with its own design. >> marcus is like oh honey there is only one drama queen in the family. >> whatever! >> oh, sit down. >> god i hate to do it too ya. sarah palin -- >> oooooooooh! >> did you see her tweet obama lied to the american people again. he said it wasn't a tax. obama lies freedom buys. sarah palin. the end. [ applause ] >> okay. i just have to read -- thank you, this obamacare ruling fires up the troops as america's eyes are open. thank god this seems to be such an unsettling time in america.

>> what? >> that's not correct grammar. >> no it's not. they really shouldn't let her write >> as we undergo a fundamental transformation transformation isn't something somebody does to you, you nitwit. obamacare was dealt in deception and confusion by flooding the public with an overwhelming about of conflicting rationale by thousands of pages of unread legislative detail. what was unread? because you didn't read it dope.
