i wouldn't make all the funny gumby sound or banana republic sound.llion people walking out without health insurance and that is a national disgrace. billdisgrace.. the plans they have basically -- bill: the question is whether they could get it through congress. >> they are regurgitated old let the marketplace handle itself. it's a wonderful place to go and we know the health insurance marketplace is one of the most ridiculously byzantine -- i wouldn't say corrupt but they collude with each other to set prices. >> we do have issues with insurance companies. but this law only makes more people uninsured. bob, it does. republicans aren't against it because of political reasons. we are against it because it's a bad law. bill: crowd hammer says they are going to cancel the mandate eventually. check him out at 5:00. martha: bringing a terrorist to justice. new surveillance video showing the moment when american covert ops captured hip. he was behind a pair of deadly embassy bombings. fight back fast with tums. eartburn relief that neutralizes acid on cont

the other side republicans play politics with it the problem is this thing is getting as flexible as gumbyg to break. secondly they are playing politics here. i happen to agree with charles. this is more about the midterm election than anything else. they want to push this thing off and they know what's coming down the road. not the only uncomfortable tough thing they have to deal with. they are doing a mirv job implementing it. they are on the brink of ruining the ability to be able to insure these people. >> does this help mary landrieus in louisiana and the beggich. >> what would help is if the law was working. might hurt less if you can push off all of the pain. >> you have to combine this with the other things that they have done like trying to get more time flexibility for those who have lost their insurance plans in the individual marketplace. i mean, and reengineering one sixth of the economy they have wreaked havoc on the individual marketplace and trying to make up lost time there as well. you have to take all of this in, i think, all together to show how they are trying to ease
