dr. corey hebert.ane i want to start with you and go through those frequently asked questions that everybody has because people are coming back to obamacare and trying to understand how it works for them. the bottom line question is: who needs obamacare? >> that is of course politically charged. but who is this, the exchanges, who are they opening for? >> who are they for? >> they are opening for the uninsured. if you are uninsured you can start to buy, enroll in insurance tomorrow, october 1st. you have to be -- in the country legally and you have to be uninsured. there is even a glitch that if you get insurance through your employer and it's unaffordable, you might be able to buy insurance but the glitch means it's so confusing you neat to go to healthcare.gov or a navigator and have them explain it to you. >> do you have to enroll in the insurance? >> yes and no. if you don't you have penalty and we'll get to penalties later. you have to or you face a penalty. but you really should if it's going to
