condemned it. he just didn't say what he was going to do to try to shut it down. david gregory, you can always count on conservative republican david brooks is on meet the press he gives the correct perspective to the benghazi tragedy, basically, one line that he said in response, my reading of the evidence is the very terrible event happened at basically a cia facility. they tried to shift responsibility on to the state department, and the state department pushed back. period. end of story, and that comes from a conservative. it's incredible. it's like the president said yesterday, from day one i don't understand where the there there is. >> obama: americans died in

benghazi. we also know clearly they were not in a position where they were adequately protected, and suddenly three days ago this gets spun up as if there's something new to the story. >> stephanie: and we talks about his counter terrorism advisor. matthew olson went to capitol hill and said i would say yes they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy. so michael tomasky said, there it was. that very day the wall street journal reported but they didn't have time to tell her, but as the president says yesterday, who executes a cover up for three days? if the point was to not have this in the news cycle, then it wasn't very well done, was it.

i have a lot of time during the day. mostly i nap through them. >> stephanie: yes. can i have some ask jacki music please? because have been very good about dissemimating information about the affordable care act. >> right. >> stephanie: bob writes i have a question. i have a friend who's son works for a local landscaper. the owner had a company meeting and told all of his employees they shouldn't vote for obama. if you vote for obama i may have to lay many of you off. >> this is good. this isn't at all a dead give away. >> stephanie: no, i'm sure he is trying to be helpful in every regard. he said that because of obamacare, blah blah blah, i will have to lay you off. and now all of the employees

have had to pay $300 towards their mandatory health insurance payment no matter how much they work. work in the winter depends on if and when it snows. there is not much work in early spring, this kid can't really afford to pay so much for health insurance for most of the year he makes $10 an hour. is obamacare mandatory for everybody who doesn't have health insurance? >> no. well, it's required that you have health insurance because the idea behind it is if you get sick or injured, and end up in the emergency room and don't have insurance i have to pay for you. but if it's unaffordable you are not required to pay for it or there are exceptions. so nobody can be forced to buy something that they can't afford. you would be subject to getting government help, but none of

this is applicable right now, because it hasn't kicked in yet. >> stephanie: he says does he have to pay so much for this insurance? having death with this with owner in the past i wouldn't put it past him to try to make a profit off of obamacare. >> my guess is this guy is taking money. judge jacki would say this guy is a creep and is taking money. if you have hourly employees, and you are requiring them to pay a lot more on their health insurance than they can afford it's ridiculous. >> stephanie: exactly. i smell skeeviness. >> yes. >> stephanie: joe you are on with jacki go ahead. >> caller: everybody worries

about the long term longevity of medicare. why don't we give senior citizens the option to pay more for medicare instead of paying thousands of dollars a year for supplemental insurance? it seems like putting more dollars into medicare would -- would make a lot of sense and get the insurance companies out of the major big business of -- of taking money from seniors. >> that's one of the things that the affordable care act is doing. we talk about the savings, the 760 -- i don't even know the number -- $700 million in savings, billion dollars -- i ought to look it up. my mind is a little fried as is my hand. but the savings we're talking about, that's what we're doing, stopping the overpayment to private health insurance

companies. >> caller: and when does that go into effect? >> they have already started to cut some of that. but the entire law will go into effect january of 2013. but we're starting to cut down the overpayments, because right now we have these medicare advantage plans which are run by private insurance companies, and they jack up prices to make a profit, so we're cutting out that overpayment. >> stephanie: all right. annette in michigan you are on with jacki. hey, annette. >> caller: hi i wanted to make a couple of comments. the genetic testing for breast cancer, i worked in the medical field for many years, and many people would not have the testing done to see if they were predisposed to breast cancer, because if it came back

positive, the insurance companies wouldn't cover anything afterwards and say it was a preexisting condition so a lot of people chose not to have that test done. and i got sick about a year ago, and i just got disability and i have to pay $520 per month for cobra health insurance because you have to be on disability for two years before you a are edgeable for any of the government programs. so that's almost half of my income every month. so that's all i wanted to say. >> stephanie: jack any thoughts on that? >> well, it is going to go down. there are some affordability requirements in the affordable health care act. you can't be required to pay if i's more than 9% of your income. companies that are going to be asked to contribute are going to have to make sure that the plans

they offer are within the parameters of affordability. it has to be less than 9.5% of your income. and they say about $500 billion will be saved out of medicare i think the number has been as high as 700. >> stephanie: okay. let's do one last one. lou in california. >> caller: hi good morning. >> stephanie: hi. >> caller: my question i'm a [ inaudible ] i drive a truck for a local grocery company, and the rumor is they are going to start taxing us on our benefits. i get great medical benefits. are they going to tax us on that? >> that's one of the big concerns within health care reform, the gold plated plans or the really -- really good benefits, it's one of the components of the law that the unions have been fighting hard against. and i'm not entirely sure where it stands now as far as how far

it is going to start, but there are some concerns and i know the unions have fought and are continuing to fight this. the taxation on the gold-plated plans, and the argument against it is along the way union members have given up salaries and other benefits -- >> stephanie: that's right. they took this in lou -- right, lou, you took in lieu of the higher salary? >> caller: right. >> so the argument on the union side is you are basically now punishing people for taking an alternative to a higher salary if you are going to tax the really good benefits. so i don't know where the nay chair of that fight stands right now, but when we were fighting for reform and i worked on a campaign with a lot of unions that was one of the big, big arguments as we got down to the wire, was don't tax the health care plans of people who have

fought very hard for these benefits. >> stephanie: yeah. go ahead, lou. >> caller: we have had wage freezes. we have -- you know gotten smaller raises and my last question is, is there going to be a threshold on it? is it going to be capped so to speak? or is it going to be taxed on the full amount? do you know? >> i don't know the answer to that, but i can look it up certainly. a lot of this information is on healthcare.gov. and you can poke around and find the information. i do know that was one of the big concerns was the taxing of some of the so-called gold plated plans. >> stephanie: yeah, that's part of this that came up with the teacher's unions. they use everything as an opportunity to union bash. they have these big benefits -- a lot of those deals were because -- they make bucus

in salary. >> right. in the fight we got a lot of what we wanted, and we lost a lot of what we wanted. and because the insurance companies and medical device manufacturers and drug companies have a lot of money and a lot of lob lobbyist lobbyists, and sometimes you win, and sometimes you win some. and unfortunately taxation of some of these plans is one of those things where we -- we had a lot of trouble. >> stephanie: exactly. i love it's something that you have to trade for republicans. how can we hurt the unions? >> yeah, it's true. >> stephanie: all right. love you honey bunny. >> thank you for letting me do it. >> stephanie: it was a two-part -- >> it was a two-for. >> stephanie: exactly.
