carl cameron is joining us. there has been a lot going on. what is going on with the demon pass strategy, it appears that, as i understand it, maybe some caved in about the pressure about the constitutionality of this strategy? >> not the democrats strategy, but republicans and democrats have used it together. both parties have taken advantage of it and exploited it. it skews the intent. in this particular instance, democrats have been talking about in passing the rule for debate on the package of reconciliation fixes, there would have been a line that said look we are going to deem this as passing in the house directly. one step removed. but chris van hollen who is member has gone gone on record planning to drop that and have a clean vote. that means that the rules would not have in any shortcuts that would go to the president's desk. it would go to the full house floor and it would have to be voted on by house members. there is new twist to it. john boehner says he wants to see all members of congress to have the roll calderon to shout out

on the corporate blog and you can imagine that's getting a lot of refresh hits this morning, becky, carl, guys, we're expecting some kind of decision today, at least today, possibly this week. >> jim, thank you very much. >> i'm here, too, jim. nice to see you. >> i didn't see you there, joe. >> he was supposed to toss back to me, but he looked at the prompter and he tossed to carl. >>> you got under his skin. >> i can't win with joe. >>> the google news on any other day would be a lead for us. but the health care vote obviously the lead today, getting votes it needed to pass, not without plenty of debate and

>> carl, we could have done better.e very beginning to make a bipartisan effort in this, with my background in health care. i did reach across the aisle. we did try to get some common-sense activity going back and forth and it didn't happen. and what we have now is a partisan complex bill. there was bipartisan opposition to the bill. the unanimous republican opposition to the bill. but we had a number of democrats who were opposed as well. i believe we're going to spend a lot of time, my entire congressional career, going forward, trying to deal with some of the unintended consequences of this. >> look, the american people watched president obama and the democratic leadership reach out over and over across the aisle to try to get republicans to come to the table and sit down and reach bipartisan compromise. that's exactly again, what david from said, is they had an opportunity, they blew the opportunity. so instead we move forward with the reform that we know is going to make sure that will put patients and doctors in c

carl cameron from the capitol.e'll come back in moments from now because we've got so much to talk about today with the history-making movement, moving towards a house vote tomorrow for this historic health care reform vote. will it pass, will it not? do they have enough votes? more to come. nature knows just how much water vegetables need. so, to turn those vegetables into campbell's condensed soup, we don't boil it down, our chefs just add less water from the start. ♪ so many, many reasons ♪ it's so m'm! m'm! good! ♪ let's wind 'em with precision. open our throttle to even more selection. and turn that savings swagger up full tilt. ♪ so when the time comes to bust open a can of doing... we've got all the tools for all the things we need to make 'em happen. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. ght now, get scotts nature scapes mulch for the new lower price of just $3.88. one thing in common when it comes to their numbers -- - mine were too low. - too high. - all over the place. they'd like

carl cameron begins our team coverage from capitol hill, carl?rybody really wants it know right now. do the democrats have the votes? >> not yet, but they're getting close, while behind closed doors, the democrats and nancy pelosi and the administration, rahm emanuel and they're up here twisting arms and trying to cajole. they're trying to lay the groundwork for tomorrow's debate. this process will run late into tonight that sets the groundwork how they divide the time of the debate tomorrow and the rule which will be voted on, when they will deem as passed the senate bill and send it to the president for his signature. the rules committee is very partisan. they're in recess now and probably won't come back for several hours and work late into the night and when they do, they are known as some of the toughest political fighters. they exchange blows and rhetoric like no other committee. listen to this little sampling and check the frustration levels. >> this process corrupts and prostitutes the system. i can't, you know, i know all of you all pers

first to carl cameron in capitol hill. the group of anti-abortion, led by bart stupak of michigan, how did they get the votes. it left a lot of people surprised and shaking their heads. basically bart stupak had been talking with the white house and the executive order the president agreed to sign according to mr. stupak is sufficient for him and a handful of pro-life democrats who had objections and now they believe they can vote for it because the executive order and their view will eninsure that taxpayer money will not go for abortion related services. this has been his singular issue for weeks and he talked about what he considered a triumph this afternoon. we've always said most of us at least that we were for health care reform, we wanted to see health care reform, but there was a principle that meant more to us than anything, and that was the sanctity of life. >> there was a block of democrats who have fiscal objections, saying that the health care bill is irresponsible. the social democrats, the social issues like

the way only carl can watch these things. and tell us about them. carl... the back and forth here, and people are very careful with the words they are using, right now, what do you see happening, where you are? >> couple things. you talked with chris about what if democrats had enough votes to let them vote their districts and that is the political and legislative parlance, let them vote on behalf of voters back home to save their skins, not necessarily for the policies our leadership wants. that is going to happen. and, what they call it, really is trying to avoid the overvote. democrats know this will be close and they say they have the vote and the reason they call it a soft vote, they don't know who they'll let off the hook and some if they get over 216 some will be allowed to vote their districts and not with the leadership. and that is a political judgment call made on the midterm calculation for their re-election. and that is one. reasons, why it is hard for democrats -- >> let me jump in, what you are saying is fascinating. we watched debbie wasserm

i'm joe kernen along with becky quick and carl quintanilla.et's check on the markets this morning. they've had a great day going yesterday until, i guess, the bonds and some other concerns. >> the bonds or was it the greece situation? >> both. i think that's all kind of -- >> one and the -- >> the same thing. but we were doing really well and then it ended up 5 or so. ge almost at 19 backed off and was down 15. >> did you see we came within 45 points of dow 1 ,000? >> of 11,000. we'll see whether that becomes something that surmounts, like a mental level for -- >> i don't know if it's a technical level or not. they've blown through others. >> 10 we can deal with. 11 to the perm abears, that's something. at 8,000 when they all got bearish, it's like, 10,000 is bad. but 11 means we went right through 10 and right to 11. you guys had no idea. you shouldn't even be managing -- we'll see how barons manages to counter this weekend. >> barons, the famous five. >>> oil this morning, that's another thing that you wonder about, if that were too far have

carl? >> steve, thank you for that. quickly on financial regulatory reform. back to the attorney general. i forget what you were asking, becky, but my question, quickly, mr. abbott -- congress has framed this as a tax, right? which is a pretty clever way of operating on turf that is safely theirs. why is that not a problem for your cause? >> if it solely were a tax, there are certain ways they could have structured the tax that would have made it legal. the way they did this is what's called a capitation tax. that type of structure is a violation of the constitution itself. so, once again, there are pathways they could have chosen with regard to imposing taxes. they didn't go down the way that could have been achieved because it was politically unpalatable. they've chosen pathways that are unconstitutional, which is going to make it a challenge for them in court. >> do you worry that as a result of your bringing this action that they will go ahead and pursue some of those ideas that, i would guess, you're opposed to, li

all right, carl. what are they doing now? they're just bloviating, these pinheads?actually they're going through the final stages of this. what dick cheney might have referred to as the last throes perhaps, bill. they have a little bit more business to go. there's a couple of votes, but they passed the rule earlier today which was a sign that democrats had the necessary 216 plus to advance their agenda in the first place. the rule was just a parameters for the debate and how they divide up the time among the republicans and democrats. once the house passes it, it can go down pennsylvania avenue to the president's desk and signed in the oval office and second is reconciliation packages of fixes and that, once it's passed the house, would go to the senate where they'll deal with it next week and if they change it there's the possibility it could come back to the house. >> bill: why bother if the president is going to sign a bill, why bother with reconciliation, a total waste of time, right? >> republicans have pretty much resigned themselves to the fact that health ca

thank you, carl. first, as president and ceo i want to say we were very pleased to be the primary sponsor of the strengthening america's. it was for a call of greatness issued in january of 2008. it's important that you understand that this is a non-partisan effort. we have republicans, democrats and independents. and in fact, a conscious decision was made to have a republican, democrat and independent co-chair. because we wanted to come up with non-partisan solution that is hopefully could achieve broad based, bipartisan support and i was pleased to serve. leon pi net that was going to be a co-chair but he was called to the cia and roy step in ably to fill his shoes. i think the title of the report says a lot. prosperity or decline, breaking washington's deadlock to save america's future. our future is at risk. america is at a critical crossroads. in my view, the decision that is are made or fail to be made within the next five years will largely determine whether our collective future is better than

carl makes probably the single most important point with respect to profits and volumes. how many mandates, regulations, prices, price control, premium price control, these could have huge impact. they were not specifically spelled out in the legislation. so we have to deal with the so-called enabling legislation impact on hhs, which will become the czar of the insurance company. will it not? >> yeah. i agree with that. i mean, certainly the individual and small group markets are the worst off in all of this. and the devil is going to be in the details. the center for medicaid and medicare services will have to put out regulations. it's going to be a lot of uncertainty even though we have clarity from the bill. there's going to be uncertainty from the administration for sure. >> yeah. carl, you know, bill frist was saying this morning that having 15 people on a committee where they're going to go ahead and set prices, you know, this is not an elected body, it's a little bit scary. there's a lot of price coms there. what does it mean for the future of this market? when i l

carl cameron is live on capitol hill, and, carl, quite a speech the president gave to the democratic>> reporter: it was, had a lot to do and a lot of messaging to accomplish in talking to the house democrats recognizing they are right on the cusp of the historic vote and there is still a possibility, they are a couple of votes shy and the democratic leadership and whip counters made it clear they are confident the votes will be there and there may be last minute deals to need to loom and be culminated but for all intents and purposes it is going forward and to give an idea of how resigned the republicans are to the reality, a rare moment of g.o.p. congratulations for democrats, in the house rules committee they decided they wouldn't use the deem and pass technique that would ultimately require only one vote, on the rule for the reconciliation debate, that would have deemed the senate bill passed onto the president. through the house, and that is not going to happen now. and, because democrats chose not to take that route, republicans are congratulating them for the openness of tomorr

cameron is right in the thick of things on capitol hill and carl, any chance they won't use deem and pass shortcut? there's a possibility of it. a couple of democrats today on the rules committee itself have suggested that they have some misgiving about it. henry waxman of california a powerful democrat and congressman cordova said they would not support for the deem and pass tactic which is a shortcut maneuver allowing the congress, the house to essentially in writing the rules of the debate or the reconciliation, would deem the bill passed by the house retroacti retroactively. one vote, two take place, and henry waxman and henry suggested they'll have to adjust and as a consequence perhaps would be pulled out something of a victory for democrats, it would signal they actually have enough votes to pass in the senate and the house. a clean vote. there's heavy lifting that needs to be done with that, kelly, but suggests that democrats have growing confidence of their ability to twist the last few arms to make the last few deals and get the last few votes to get to the necessary 216 vo
