nation's capitol and starts right now. hello, from washington. just two days from now, the nine supreme court justices will take up the president obama massive health care reform law. and there is a requirement that most americans must buy health insurance by the year 2014. three days of hearings will take place. before that happens, the tea party want to make their voice heard. here's more on what the group is saying. >> good afternoon to you. two years since the massive tea party rally that is literally tens was thousands of impassioned tea party protesters. tea party activism has waned and others say it is more ingrained in the conservative movement as a whole.

it is back big time with the organizers call the road to appeal rally . featuring many speakers. first among them and virginia attorney. the first to file a challenge x. joined here by herman cain and tea party activists. and rally and this is the two year anniversary of the law. and the president chose not to celebrate that anniversary in any way. they believe it is going to survive the challenges. here is nancy pelosi. it is historic and we believe we knew what we were doing when we wrote the bill. most lawyers that are

reviewing it say it is a act. >> if it survives the supreme court. republicans are banking on the public dislike and soaring costs. it will be over turned. republicans in congress are more committed than ever to repealing this unconstitutional law . replacing it with the kind of common sense reforms that americans really want. reforms that actually lower costs. and put health care back in the hands of individual and their doctors rather than unaccountable burrcrats. and rally gets underway.

q. and a host of tea party activists. >> thank you very much. what i would say to the critics of the bill, is that first of all who are they? many critics of the bill are health insurance industry that never wanted to see a bill in the first place. there are people out there. can and don't think that the government should have a role in social security or medicare or any of it but they love medicare. after more than two years of hearings and lawsuits, 26 states are about to have their case heard by the supreme court. florida got the ball roll

began the legal fight. >> thank you, uma it is florida along with 25 other great states in the national federation of independent business. >> the supreme court begins to hear the case following the two year anniversary since the affordable trade act >> mike: others say the government doesn't have to demand that americans face. >> isn't it true there will be high hurdles. >> this is beyond anything that the federal government had to do. and let me tell speaker pelosi who her critics. they are attorneys and is thes and believe in the constitution and we have a limited federal government . the underlying power behind the health care take over, we are confident will be recognized by the court. if they can do this, they have

no limits to what they can do. those are her critics. anyone in the country who believes in the constitution. >> so is it your position that government can force people to buy're insurance, this would set the precedent for limitless power that the government can force other products to be sold. >> you couldn't have said it any better. it would give them unlimited power if they can force us to do this. and they can force us to do. >> how do you think that the high court will respond to the arguments that cut to the score core. >> well, i think that the court is going to have the advocates engage in a vigorous debate. the obama administration is going to try to focus on health care policy. that is not what it is about. it is the rights of the united

states constitution. and the advocate. and paul lament who is a supreme court litigant and we as the states argue. thrait is -- that it is about the constitution and our founding father's view of limited federal government and we believe in state's rights and individual's rights. that is what will argued on tuesday. a modern day united states supreme court, they give you an hour of oral argument. we have been begin six hours over three days. >> this is the first time in 50 years that the high court is allotting oral arguments over three days and six hours; did that surprise you that the cower was open to the scrutiny? >> it confirmed for us that the court sees that it is a case of great national experience it is one of the

biggest cases of our lifetime. >> so, are you optmistic with your expectations high before the oral arguments begin? >> we firmly believe we are positive and believe it is unconstitutional. and the first day is going to be the antiinjunction act as to whether or not it is a tax and whether we can proceed. we are confident we will prevail. day two is the man date that is important to our constitution and rights and states. and on day three, we'll argue the severability issue. whether or not the entire act rises or falls if the man date is unconstitutional. it is so intertwined that without the man date they have to go back to the drawing board and we'll argue the medicaid expansion issue that is important to the state and

country. it will cost florida over well over a billion a year just to maintain this and what the material government is trying to do is force us. by saying, hey florida. if you don't participate in this program. we are going to pull every single penny of your medicaid funding and that medicaid funding is comprised of hard earned tax dollars by floridians and we'll vigorously defend. >> you mentioned paul clement. give us the since of the attorney he is and presentation. >> we are in constant contact with paul clement . he helped us to write the briefs and he argued pen times in front of the united states supreme court . the way i would like to describe paul if you can have the most brill yont lawyer without an ego, that is paul

clement. he is a supreme practitioner and we are blessed that paul is representing us and we'll be there with him in the courtroom. and see how all of this. the health care law is ruled . 92 provisions and in 2010. the law allowed young adult to stay on the parent's plan . we saw new consumer protections and one denying children coverage based on preexisting conditions . a new provision on brand name prescription for seniors and medicaid payments for primary care .

new provision include reduced medicare and hospitals and readmission and annual fees on the pharmesutical industry . then reduce medicare payments for primary care. and there will be a requirement for everyone to have full coverage. now your turn to weigh in on the health care debate. what should be done about the president's health care plan. should it be repeal would or is it fine the way it is. >> tweet your answers to us. and hurricane uma and i will read your responses later in this hour. we are looking forward to those tweets. next up on the primary challenger, louisiana. rick santorum is looking to the big easy for a rebound. at stake 20 delegates. karl cameron is in new orleans

with more. hi, karl. >> actually this is breakk view right on the edge of new orleans . the pelican state is offering up 20 delegates. santorum is leading in the polls and even mitt romney said they are not competing aggressively. but mr. santorum got a lot of heat for his that mitt romney and barack obama are alike in policy condition that we may should stay like we are like. newt gingrich said that is inappropriate statement and he tried to revise it aggressively. he is in pennsylvania and yesterday in new orleans he tried to stem the assertion that he might vote for obama if mitt romney was the nominee. >> everybody knows full well

my passion about defeating obama. and yet we see the ridiculous canard that is perpetrated by the mitt romney that i would vote for obama. over my dead body would i vote for barack obama. mitt romney hasn't put in a lot of money and the super pac has been on the attack. santorum is dominating the air waves and it is a big win for him. if he falms short in louisiana it is a set back to the argument that he has the necessary 1144 delegates and santorum is staying on the race and putting pressure on newt gingrich to get out. newt gingrich campaigning here in louisiana actually said that he did not think he would reachh the 1144 nor did he say santorum or ron paul. what newt gingrich is saying that the three republican rivals to the front runner

mitt romney are trying to block him from the nomination and it will be romney or an open and brokered convention . when they get to tampa this fall. that is something that mitt romney will not take. he will take a second or third place showing and heel be far ahead in the delegate count. he has more than double the delegates santorum had and combine all of the three rivals. romney has more combined it is a big lead and he will likely do well. and more primary in dc and maryland and a possibility of a battle in wisconsin should santorum put up a battle. looking for santorum to win. and still a hard climb ahead of him and republicans are suggesting that it is time for santorum and newt gingrich to get out so the conseshative wing tea partiers can rally

around romney and get down to running the campaign against obama. >> and the call for action in the trayvon martin. protestors. and thousands of demonstrators many wearing hoodies voicing outrage over his death. he was shot and killed by george zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who was saying he acted in self defense. the investigation continues and e-mail is key to determining if corzine misused customer funds working at msglobal. he allegedly ordered 200 million be wired from a customer's account to cover the overdraft fees. despite testimonies of innocence, e-mail claims it was mutualed per jc's direct instruction. they will hold a hearog this

low. -- law. would reduce the deficit. that is nonsense. a typical employer and businessman can opt out of the health insurance and not provide option of health insurance and pay a $2000 fine per person. why would he not do that instead of paying $10,000 for family coverage. he will back out . cvo refuses to acknowledge how many will be on the government program. it really is sobering when you look at figures. there were problems as we discussed earlier off camera that there would be long-term coverage for preexisting. and now they are off of the table. >> long-term coverage simply became so expensive that the president had to give up on it. for people with chronic

condition. premiums are high and people can't afford to get in. time after time after time, we will watch this law not deliver on the promises and it will bust the budget. all it does is put subsidies on a broken system . make it work. >> those who support the bill say that it will cut the deficit over time. cvo is backing that up. >> they are making heroric assumption on employer sponsored health care and the employer has a family of four to cover the government will take up the tab. >> how much will it average for a cost for families once it is up and running. >> 18,000 to 20,000 per family and health care and a individual family of four. my feeling is that we have to

increase the costs of health care 10-20 percent. premiums and co-pays is all going to go up. how much it hits you in the pocket book will depend on how generous it is. folks can expect a substantial increase in what they pay. most of the costs will be pushed on to them. >> and when you look at companies that are opting out and getting waivers by the white house not to participate in the program it raises concern. >> i guess we ought to see how the political contributions would be. the first people to get out were the labor unions and my feeling is that it is a ruse and going to prove to be so expensive they will say we will be back in british health care. >> it will be interesting to see how it flushes out with the the high court to decide. >> appreciate it. and one of those controversial parts of the health control

built in the president's health care law called the independent payment advisory

board and sparked a major debate in congress. joining us now is congressman larry bushon. and ration health care to people and make decisions best left to doctors and patients, but would the panel have the authority to be involved in all aspects of health care? >> the president's health care plan 575 billion dollars from the medicare portion of what the government pays for seniors. the president also budget, in his budget proposed another 300 billion in cuts. what the independent advisory board's role would be, further cuts to the medicare program. they're fairly limited what they can do, other than further cutting and reimbursement to hospitals and providers and this is going to be a detrimental thing to seniors. eventually what will happen. significant access problems for seniors, and they won't be

able to find a doctor that will take medicare and in that way, that begins the ration services based on what the government will pay for. >> let me ask you this, is it true to they'll limit what all americans are legally allowed to spend for health care, even if it's their own money to hold it below he the rate of medical inflation? >> well, i don't think that that is true, i think the biggest issue is this is a panel of 15, unelekked washington d.c. bureaucrats appointed by the president, it could be this president or any president in the future that has the power to recommend cuts to the medicare program, which do not have any control on the congress. we would have the ability only to propose further cuts and we'd have to have a two-thirds majority to override their proposals for cuts. you see what happens, every time the so-called doc fix comes around when the proposed cuts to medicare is going to happen and he you see what

physician's groups do and congress overturns that. to give an unelected board to cut further from the medicare program is something we don't need and it's detrimental to american seniors. i don't think i've seen anything worse for american seniors than the 15 years i've practiced heart surgery. >> supporters are saying, that this panel will only step in if costs overhaul or exceeded the budget expenditures, what do you say to that. >> that's true. we need to drive down the overall costs so that doesn't happen. the other thing is, the medicare system needs to be restructured. house republicans proposed ways to do that and other proposals on the table. and we know that by 2030, double the number of seniors that we have today will require medicare services and we know it's on a fiscally unsustainable path. and the fact of the matter is,

if we do nothing, they'll he have to cut and have no choice because the costs are going to continue to go up based on sheer numbers. the people that are proposnts of this are short sighted and want to keep their heads in the sand and not look at what we really need to do. what we need to do is protect this program from seniors. >> quickly though, it passed the house and doesn't appear to be taken up in the senate. so is this a lost exercise by the house and do we expect it to be fully debated by the house and congress? >> well, look, the it was part of the senate bill as you probably know. there were members of the house, including a number of democrats that didn't think it was a good idea in the first place. democrats in the senate. some of which came out last week, and said that they were considering voting to repeal this. i think senator reid and the senate democrats to bring us something that has bipartisan support and let it have its

day in court. the fact of the matter is that most people realize that it will be detrimental to the seniors and again, washington d.c. bureaucrats the power to control medicare instead of having that as our elected officials. >> okay, sir, thank you very much. >> it's a bad idea. >> we hear you, we're returning out of time, thank you for joining us today. >> you're welcome, thanks for having me on. >> and now to our twitter responses, we love hearing from you at home. today we want to know what you have to say about the president's health care law, repealed, expanded or left alone. john rice, repealed entirely, no law with an effect on the public should be be allowed without it being voted on by the public. jeffrey says the health care law is saving lives. if the opposition do not have a better plan, they should keep their mouth shut. joe says repeal all of it. and all of the good points and pre-existing conditions part. okay, a lot of responses and couldn't get to all of t
