. >>> joining me now, david axelrod, former senior adviser to president obama. interesting, because you're viewing it from the other side where you have a stake in it, getting the law passed. it does present a political problem for republicans if they win king/burwell, because they have all of these people who the press can go interview who are screwed, frankly and they have to come up with a solution. >> well, i think if the case goes against the law, which i really don't think it is going to. but if it goes against the law i believe the republicans will be the dogs who caught the car. i think it's a political disaster for them. i think indicative of that is the proposal that ron johnson made, the senator from wisconsin, who suggested they pass a bridge and support the subsidies through the next election. no coincidence that he is up for re-election in 2016. and i believe it is telling that he wants to bridge the subsidies. but the fact is, chris, they have had five years to come up with a plausible alternative to the health care act and they have not done so.

. >> joining me now, david axel axelrod, how big a deal is this? pretty big. >> huge. >> you know really think that our community, the political community, the media community, i think it's important to look at what this means for millions of americans who were uncertain whether they would have health care moving forward. i ran into a young man that had hodgkins disease and he discovered it because he got health care under the affordable care act and was able to go and get treated for symptoms and get treatment for that hodgkins disease. and he had tears in his eyes. he said it saved my life. tlaen are stories like that i run into all over the country. so we should take a moment and just acknowledge that this was a big victory for young people like that and people across this country who have insurance because of this law. as for the politics this was a signature effort on part of the president. and as pete said this was the last big hurdle legal hurdle to it. so it's a huge thing. there i think it was a big win for the republican party to be hones

joining me now, former senior adviser for president obama, david axelrod, and a former senior adviser for health reform in the obama administration. all right, well, david, were you sweating this? and how is someone who was in the bunker during the long, contentious, legendarily toxic debate around this bill, now law, how did you react to today's decision? >> well, first of all, let me say, i think josh really does think it's not a good use of tax dollars. listen, i -- i wept the night the health care act passed. i wept because i, as a young man, had a sick child and almost went bankrupt because of expenses that insurance wouldn't cover. and i couldn't change it, because she had a pre-existing condition. i wept again, today, because of all the people who have come up to me in the last few years, including a kid just this week, a young man who had hodgkins disease, who told me that it was discovered after he had -- he got coverage through the affordable care act and was able to get treatment. he said he thought he was alive today, because of the affordable care act. i wept today, when

. >> he has evolved and the way he gets out of it is david axelrod said he was lying.r says he was lying, the whole time he was in favor of traditional marriage he was lying about that so it is cool. and everybody went probably that is probably some stuff he said in order to get elected and then changed his tune before the 2012 election because it would be better to say before the 2012 election because he was more focused on getting the base fired up. >> should we care that he either lied or very quickly evolved right before his reelection? >> if you like your traditional marriage you can keep your traditional marriage. is it material? probably not. it's just a politician being a politician for hillary clinton it is dog gone material. her prior position seems to be strongly held when questioned about political evolution holding a position and then lying about it she said absolutely not. that is what i believed when i said traditional marriage is a bed rock institution. she comes out today and she is acting like she was right there vanguard of gay marriage and doing all

>> david axelrod?t i do think humility is important here. that was something that was lacking in the runup to the 2008 election. she started off in the right tone there. i think she has to stay there. part of humility is submitting yourself to questions not just from voters but from the news media. eventually she's going to have to answer questions. >> so hugh mika and i, if you watch the show have been wringing our hands over the fact no matter what the clintons do -- for mika especially the key of crossing the line was the scrubbing of the server. she is indignant that the media doesn't seem to stay after that. i guess the question is -- >> you are right, on "meet the press" on sunday when chuck gave me the answer to ask bill daily a question one question i said were you aware there was a server in the former secretary of state's house and would you have ordered today removed if it was? he said i have no idea. that will figure greatly. it is a national security issue not a political issue or vanity i

tonight, jim axelrod is back with the breathtaking price being paid for a common supplement. >> reporter: when a cbs news employee was recently prescribed this nutritional supplement to boost his energy, he was astonished when he saw the claim the pharmacy submitted and his insurance approved. for a one month's supply-- $44,707. for the cost of a bmw convertible, he got 180 capsules of powdered resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red grapes. available at any local nutrition store. in fact, two bottles of this brand contains roughly the same amount of the $44,000 prescription, which raises an even more puzzling question: why does the over-the-counter resveratrol cost just over $157.38. we wanted to ask the pharmacy who filled the prescription and submitted the claim in los angeles why theirs cost so much more. but they declined our repeated request for an interview. so last week, a cbs producer caught up with brian sutton. his family owns warner west. >> reporter: we got a prescription billed to us and it was $44,000 for resveratrol. can you tell me why? sir, can you tell me why? >> repo

he's the closest thing the axelrod quote was, i am a closest thing to a jaw that has ever sat in thete words for president george bush had this observation about obama being the first jewish president. >> it's his actions. the first jewish president wouldn't say that he's going to -- as soon as he came into office i'm going to create day light between myself and israel. he wouldn't say i'm not going to defend israel at the united nations. he wouldn't go on #60 minutes and dismiss israel's concerns about iran's nuke program as noise. >> one of the reasons we're talking about this the president sat down with a tv station in israel and had a heart to heart. what worries me is he's trying to plow the ground that announce that july first, june 30th deal with iran which even france said is heading in the wrong direction, because there is no verification, and there's going to be more open inspection. >> the problem with this is yesterday "the new york times" had an article that said the iaea which is the outfit we'll trust to monitor iran they said did you realize in the last year and a hal
