joining me now krystal ball, a democratic strategist and michelle goldberg, senior writer for "newsweekhe daily beast." krystal, this was one of those stunt votes that they throw up there on the floor of the house, both parties do it from time to time trying to put the other party in the position of casting a difficult vote. how do you think this one is going to play and how is it going to work in the congressional elections coming up? is this something they'll be able to use against democrats when running. >> that was certainly the intent as you accurately point out, i mean they're desperate to do anything that says, look, we are on the side of women. we're fighting for women and as you put it, i mean this was a stunt and a stunt they didn't intend to pass which is why it was brought up in this way where it would require 2/3 vote. in a way i see a parallel to the voter i.d. laws that have been passed across the country. it's the sort of thing that at first blush you go, okay, voter i.d., that makes sense and voters say, okay, that makes sense but don't realize that, number one, they're

michelle goldberg author of "means of reproduction" and sam, host of majority report at majority.fm. >>> all right, as early as tomorrow morning announce whether it's striking down the reform to care act. america's first attempt to provide health care coverage to all its citizens. in the run up to the announcement, much of it has centered on its political fallout, but the bigger stakes are the human stakes. the supreme court decision on american citizens if the affordable care act is struck down. released a poll in which an overwhelming majority 77% said if the law is struck down, they think congress should start work on a new health care reform bill. good luck with that. only 19% said it should be left as it is. hardly anyone wants to return to a time of prehealth care reform. somehow that message gets lost and because it gets lost it has created a massive problem for the obama administration. alec mcgillis picked up on a great piece they wrote for the magazine on monday. robin layman who had not even heard of a law, mcgillis says "layman was hardly the only patient aware of the law

michelle goldberg, senior contributing writer for "newsweek." and allison stewart, former speechwriter for michele bachmann. is this a promise he can keep? >> absolutely. the first thing he'll do is issue waivers to all 50 states in order for them to make their own decision on this. the plan to repeal obama care, governor romney will bring both sides of the house and senate together. republicans and democrats. and he will work together in order to find the best solution to health care which includes free market reforms. what we have -- what we had yesterday, we had reaffirmation of another broken promise on the part of the president. this thing is nothing more than huge taxes. it includes an array of taxes. more than 21. and 12 of them affect the many people he says will not be affected. those making less than $250,000 a year. another broken promise and something that americans can't afford. >> obviously michelle does not agree with you. on this waiver point, my understand, only certain provisions could be waived. and only if states have immediat
