corporations and business. >> good evening. great to be back we have to keep fighting to the very last hour in beyond to get out of obamacare but to mak sure we are treated equally under law all of us as we the people what makes us exceptional as a reminder not to lecture you but what makes us exceptional as a nation at its core, we urination that abides by the rule of law. individual should be above the law that applies to everyone else. the fact of the matter is with obamacare the law was written to treat me in my family members and a worse way now be will be forced onto the exchange it was
10:30 pm
intentionally written badly but if we'd like it if it's the policy doesn't like it then they need to change the law there and get to have their bureaucratic minions to debt -- interpret it the way that pleases them. that is what third world republics do. lou: this president cards out his own loss to the executive order carving of exemptions and delays as a hospital right now under the threat of obamacare will lay off people to cut back service and consolidate. >> i got a letter from a farmer today e-m my staff from indiana that says they next to the passage of the affordable care attacked our premium is
10:31 pm
going up for his $35 per month after one ar under this policy and everybody being healthy 146% increase from the original''. lou: that is anecdotal but that is felt by many americans the inverse what the president promised higher premiums and higher cost. >> the affordable care act is not affordable. it is creating the 30 hour workweek go working-class to incentivize people to work class that is the insidious byproduct. >> but from what we have discussed when we talk about
10:32 pm
the individual mandate in removing the congressional exemption of course, for the administration as well. >> i am very confident of the republicans in our house i think we're unified we may have some coming from the republican party but we are not giving up we got letters that was clear through the month of september and by the way there is another one coming call the debt ceiling and we will fight on that also. lou: ke you for being with us. up next more on the upcoming votes and attorney general eric holder goes after another state voter identification why we will show you the track record to see if it is a waste of time

decade. at least 30 million americans are insured. remember when the president promised to cover most of the nation's 50 million uninsured? >> we are not a nation that excess nearly 46 million uninsured a man, women, and children. we are not an asian that lets hard-working families go without coverage. lou: obamacare also risk the economy with half a trillion in the tax hikes, $65 billion of those taxes are middle-class families, $27 billion of new taxes on drug companies, $20 billion of taxes on medical device makers. that makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? and the administration's response, they choose to dismiss all of the facts and evidence that obamacare is a looming disaster. >> they said this would be a disaster in terms of jobs. there is no widespread evidence that the affordable care act is
10:39 pm
rting jobs. lou: investor's business daily published a list of more than 300 companies that have had to cut working hours or staffing levels because of obamacare. and the employer mandate does not even kick in until 2015. and the administration's promises on obamacare have been other distortions from the outset. remember when they to alessandro obamacare that we could keep our doctors, we could keep our health care plans. they to alessandro obamacare premiums would go down. they told us that under obamacare health-insurance would be affordable. obamacare will cost taxpayers almost $2 trillion only insures 40 percent of the nation's uninsured. so the real question is, why won't democrats joined with republicans and stop such an expensive and ineffective public policy. well, take a second then go to our social site.
