jan crawford is our chief legal correspondent.what changes has the law made in the health care system so far? >> well, there have been quite a few. for example, the law says parents can keep their children on their insurance policies until they are 26-years-old. that means another 1.2 million young adults will get coverage. it also bans insurance companies from denying coverage to children who have pre-existing conditions. that affects up to 17 million children. and it's given some seniors more money to buy prescription drugs. >> couric: and jan, what about the legal battles? could they actually derail health care reform altogether? >> absolutely. i mean there is this huge legal battle that's headed straight for the supreme court possibly by the end of the year. now 28 states are challenging the law, they say it eviscerates the constitution because it gives congress this unchecked power. what they are focusing on is the provision in the law that says everyone has to buy health insurance starting in the year 2014 or pay a penalty.
