cynthia burrwell sounded upbeat about the number of americans looking to sign up for a health care plan. >> in first two days of open enrollment, we've seen 1 million visitors to the site. we have had 200,000 calls to our customer center. there are those who actually want to talk to people about it. and 20,000 of those are to our spanish language lines. >> bertha coombs joins us with more. it sounds if the federal exchanges were off to a reasonably good start. what about the state exchanges? >> half of them last year had tremendous problems, quite a number of them actually revamp and rebuilt their entire systems. and they had a fairly good result as well. washington state, which performed fairly well last year, they found very early on on saturday they were calculating subsidies incorrectly. so they took the site down overnight. but nobody else seemed to have that problem. in massachusetts, where last year even coming into the fall there were people who they had not beenible to calculate their subsidies. they will about 3600 people get through, fill out their applications and determine

known as the burrwell case. congress wrote the law in such a way, only those states that set up insurance exchanges can collect subides or provide subides to individual policy holders. you know that only 14 states that set up their open exchanges and so in 36 states, the irs rowelled those people can collect the subides but the law doesn't read that way. that is a challenge and the supreme court agreed to hear it. and if those subsidies are ruled unlawful in 36 states, much of obama care could come tumbling down. the news out of the supreme court. they have agreed toit. >> and this fox nows alert. a heck of a power lunch going on in the white house. >> for sure. >> the meeting of the nation's highwayest ranking leaders that sets a course of action or grid lock for the next few years. >> i have a unique responsibility to try to make the town work. >> president meeting with the congressional leaders and trying to work toward a common goal. >> how likely is it? we'll so the progress. the present isn't willing to wo

second obama care enrollment period is now under way, health and human services secretary sylvia burrwell says more than a million people visited the website over the weekend and 200,000 contacted the call center. on the other hand, gallup says the health care law has hit its lowest point yet, with just 37% of americans approving and 56% disapproving. this comes ahead of anticipate ed repeal efforts from next year's republican controlled congress. >> reporter: professor, do you really think the american voters are stupid? what about the obama care, is that just a hoax on the american people? >> reporter: embattled obama care architect jonathan gruber uttered a no comment, but president obama did comment in australia when asked by fox news's ed henry whether he misled the american people to get obama care passed. >> no, i did not. i just heard about this the fact that some advisor who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion that i completely disagree with, in terms of the v voters is no reflection on the actual process that was rung. >> reporter: gruber tells a very different story,

they say they're confident that healthcare.gov will work better this time, hhs secretary sylvia burrwell has given her final estimates for 2013. >> probably the market will grow 25% to 30%. >> reporter: the administration also reduced last year's completed even rollments from 7.3 to 7.1 million paying customers. and even though the administration is predicting a 25% to 30% increase for 2015 over 2014, that number substantially below projections from the $÷zvu(áuráp' constitutional budget office which predicted 13 million signups for 2013. one reason for the shortage is that the signup period is half as long as it was last time. >> if you're going to get your enrollment straight for january 1, 2015. you have to get all of this done, all the shopping, all the examination, all the signups done between when enrollment starts on november 15 and december 15. that's just one month. >> reporter: a much more crowded enrollment period on a website that was unveiled today. the administration says it open hopes it was ready to go, but secretary burwell acknowledged that they're preparing for any pro

this year, as you heard from burrwell, the health and human services secretary, they're looking at pretty positive numbers. the number of uninsured people in the country has lowered. and premiums for many of those people have gone down. >> have the politics surrounding the affordable care act changed at all? or the same people against it and the same people for it? s it seeps >> it seeps li like it's a stat situation. law is very low. it's about 36% based on our last nbc news/"wall street journal" poll. the same sides are still entrenched. they wouldn't be doing that if that wasn't a politically popular decision. the politics have not changed that much. >> the supreme court is expected to take up another challenge. tell us what that's about. >> the supreme court is going to look. it's kind of unexpected they decided to take up this challenge to the law. they're going to look at whether or not the federal government can constitutionally give subsidies to many people who want to sign up for obamacare. what that could essentially do, if they decide thosedies are not constitutional it would o

secretary burrwell has an event today in virginia and we're hoping to get more details about today's rollout any time now. >> all right, peter, thank you very much. >>> and now for reaction, let's get to our next guest. i recently talked with senator john barrasso to find out his concerns moving forward in the second year of the signups. >> my concern is for the american people, it's going to be harder to keep your doctor, harder to keep the insurance you had and liked, and what we see now is even the administration is lowering their expectations for the number of people that are signing up. and the reason that so few people are signing up in my opinion is because they're realizing it's not a good deal. they're paying more, but yet they have higher co-pays, higher deductibles. they can't see their doctor. so they realize it's not a good deal. i think that's a big problem the administration's dealing with. the other is today is the first day people are really seeing what the costs are going to be. the administration pushed the opening day for this year's program until after the electi

and health and human services secretary sylvia burrwell are here. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >>> good morning. we begin with grim news from syria. intelligence officials are investigating a video that was posted online purportedly by isis that claims to show that captured u.s. aid worker peter cassick has been killed. he was 26 was working as a humanitarian aid worker in syria when he was captured in october of 2013. he was born peter cassick but changed his name after converting to islam while in captivity. the national security council has released a statement. i'm joined by richard engel in istanbul where he has been based to cover this war. richard, it seems as if the government is assuming this video is authentic. what do you know? >> well, i've seen the video. unfortunately, it does appear to be authentic. we see the same now familiar militant dressed in all black with a distinctive london accent saying that peter kassig has been killed. you don't see the beheading. you see the militant and then what looks to be peter's head at his feet. it was a

sylvia burrwell will be speaking about the upcoming opening enrollment period and ensuring the readiness of healthcare.gov. beginning at 1:00 p.m. eastern. here are just a few of the comments we've recently received from viewers. >> i swrused your show this morning on domestic violence and was disappointed with what i saw and heard. i felt the guests were both weak and ineffectual and it seems that the bulk of callers were a bunch of whiny men. one woman is beaten every 15 seconds in this country by a husband or partner. that is one woman every 15 seconds. this issue alarmingly, is swept under the rug in this country. probably and most likely because of the perpetrators are male. the only way this will ever change is if men are willing to look at their own bad behavior and address it head on. >> i'm listening to your commentator and the one from the news and they're talking about 2,000 some bills being on the harry reid desk to be presented for whatever. while each and every one of those bills have a repeal of what they call a obamacare or of the affordable care act a. whoever ever is yo

the other big piece of this, which we saw in vivid display yesterday, was silvia matthews burrwell isis focused. she wants this to succeed. more than her predecessor, i think she's been given the authority to make this, implement this and make it work and so far it is. >> willie, it's an interesting quandary for republicans. small government and republicans whose top issue is the debt. where, again, medical inflation, i want to state this again, so people won't get too excited this early. it was slowing down during the debate down to, like, 2%. and noted while that year and a half debate was going on how much it had slowed down. if you were a small government conservative, do you really want to say -- not that you'd be able to -- we're going to get rid of this whole thing and maybe see how the costs explode back up again because the threat's gone and the saudi sheikh decided they can control costs better? or do you just -- all the things that are offensive to you because of liberty and freedom and individual choice and -- you just -- i think it presents republicans, small government r

on november 10, earlier this month, secretary burrwell said there was 7.1 million exchange enrollees as of the end of october. however, she also failed to break out the coverage of those stand-alone dental insurance indicating the true number, a true number as of last month likely closer to 6.7 or 6.8 million individuals. well, the nearly 20% drop in that exchange enrollees suggests that once many people learn about the obamacare problems, the extremely high deductibles, the narrow networks, they stopped paying. they stopped paying their premium in spite of the fact that there continues to be large government subsidies they're receiving. the drop is likely to -- this drop is likely the central reason that h.h.s. dramatically lowered its exchange estimates earlier this month saying that by the end of the next year instead of the 13 million people predicted by the congressional budget office, that there would be about only 9.1 million people enrolled. so the health care law as i've heard from my colleague from connecticut who came and told an individual story, but the health care law o
