exist. the mandate on whether or not forcing folks to buy insurance and face fines is constitutional. the justices would rule on when that oversteps state's rights to the program. >> i believe it was right to make sure everybody in this country gets decent healthcare. >> the obamacare bill was a mistake. if the court does not strike down the entire law the house will move to repeal what is left it have. >> reporter: some democrats are taking the defensive and claiming that the courts are not considering the law, but simply playing politics. we'll have that side of the story, coming up at 5:30:30ses. yesterday was national hiv testing day. in rock shill, montgomery count's african-american health

overshadowed by today's other huge story in washington. the high court could uphold or overturn the law in its entirety or rule on it piece by piece. 9news reporter delia gonzalez is live outside the supreme court. good morning delia. >> reporter: good morning andrea. certainly the day many folks have been waiting for. we are just about four and a half hours away from that historic decision that is likely to have a major impact on the presidential election. we know that is just a short four months away. president obama is confident the measure will page pass, but challenger mitt romney has already vowed to repeal the law if he is elected president. the justices can either decide to uphold the bill or strike down the individual mandate if they deem it unconstitutional. the question is will the other provisions of the bill survive without it? some accusing the court of playing politics. >> how much federal

governmental power should there be over our lives? >> reporter: the supreme court no longer cares so much with the constitution. it cares more about politics. >> i don't think the justices paid a whole lot of attention to the ebb and flow of politics. because they have all grown up in a system where they have learned to keep their focus on a legal record. now analysts say the justices are equally split between conservative and lib about viewpoints, except however justice anthony kennedy, they say many of them that justice kennedy could be the deciding factor and this historic case. we'll keep our eyes on it and let you know more when the decision comes down. reporting live outside the supreme court, this morning we are going to present several viewpoints on the healthcare reform law n30 minutes we'll hear from a healthcare reform supporter. gail trotter is council counsel

for the independent women's forum which filed a court brief against obamacare when the arguments were first heard. gail, thank you for being here with us this morning. why do you think there will be a difference? or at least hoping there will be a different outcome this morning? >> we are hoping the supreme court is going to completely overturn the law because the law fundamentally changes the relationship between the government and the citizen. more importantly, the whole reason behind the law was that it would change the access and affordability of healthcare for citizens and we see now after two years of the law being in place with some of the provisions not coming into effect even until 2014 that it already moved everything in different directions. more importantly the law is unconstitutional because the basis of the constitution, which they say gives congress the authority to make this. >> the commerce power. >> yes the commerce power, it doesn't meet the command for

that. because our 220-year history of this republic, the government has never forced individuals to buy a product. a conservative, judge lawrence in the court of appeals, in ruling obamacare was constitutional, says the limits aren't very clear. the supreme court today must in its ruling show us what those limits are very clearly and succinctly what those limits are. >> the court usually tries to make the smallest ruling it can to give the federal government as much leeway to make laws that improve lives and people as possible. the court is not trying to just turn down everything, overrule everything the congress does, it is really trying to generate a limited decision. we are hoping in this case because the bill is 2400 pages long it will strike down the

whole thing. we don't want the supreme court trying to pick out which parts of the law are tied to the individual mandate and which parts are not. >> if not obamacare we still have americans who need affordable healthcare. what is the solution? obamacare sounds just like what governor roommy but in place, including the mandate? >> it is interesting you say that. there is a difference between state and local action and federal government action. as you continue up, you increase costs and put the decisions in the hands of washington bureaucrats instead of the patients and their doctors. so we have a lot of solutions at i w s.org if you go to our website. a main one we suggest is allowing people to buy health insurance across state lines. there is a bigger market and more competition to compete for our business. >> we have to cut it off there. gail trotter, thank you for being with us. as we said, we'll have the other side of this argument later in our newscast.

>> what we are going to do today is outline your treatment area, what we are doing in simulation. >> reporter: face up is the way most breast cancer patients receive whole breast radiation. but where j.c. hayward had her lumpectomy in april she is being flipped over on to her stomach. the idea is to limit as much as possible the radiation exposure to j.c.'s heart and lungs. >> instead of the normal positioning of the breasts lying across the chest wall, this brings all the breast tissue together into a way that can be treated much more uniformly without cutting through the lungs. radiologist oncologists say this gravity is especially beneficial in women with generous sized breasts whose cancer is on the right side and has not spread to the him nodes

-- to the lymph nodes. >> j.c.'s radiation is every day for six weeks. even before her sessions began, she had to be measured and tattooed. >> we are matching them to make sure. setting up every point they give us to. >> radiation is the key. to be able to give good doses of radiation. >> even more so, with prone radiation, because it is an entirely different set up. the table has an adjustable opening where the breast can fall through. >> we get ready to take the first exposure. >> reporter: the radiation beam is only delivered from the left and right. a wedge is placed under the healthy breast to keep it out of the radiation field. >> you can rest your arms. >> reporter: the position can be completely -- slightly uncomfortable. after the initial session the treatment is over with quickly. >> i thought i would feel
