they were made eligible newly by obama care. the next two columns, the red columns show the new enrollees from the old logs eligible. those eligible but not enrolled for other reasons. they're uninformed, they don't need health care, they may have private insurance. all of the different continge y contingenci contingencies. i don't assume that all will enroll. this follows calibrating exactly how many will enroll based on the data again. and percentage increase and enrollment over the preobama care enrooles except for california most states will experience at least a 10% or more greater number enrollees from among the latter group. this is the source of the increased cost that states will have to foot the bill for. this is the baseline estimate. those are about -- these numbers are about how many more enrollees we'll have. this is an example slide using new jersey as an example. to tell you about the funding increase, or the spending increase under obama care. now in this slide i have a horizontal line in red which is the freeze

this was repudiation of obama care. >> absolutely. >> tea party was built by obama care. and you saw that the democrats who lost a lot on the -- lot of them -- >> lost the house. >> who voted for it, and so obama care was the number-one thing. now -- [overlapping speakers] >> what impact will it have on the presidential race if the supreme court tosses out obama care? constitutional? >> first it will make the supreme court a major issue in the campaign. secondly, it will moralize and the conservatives, but the people defeated the democrats in the others if this whole thing goes down, and obama -- they can say look, it could energize those folks as well. my guess is the president, however, does not want to campaign in the fall on an issue obama care per se, that is as unpopular as you say, but some of the aspects of it like preexisting conditions -- >> look like obama will have -- >> the presidential mandate. >> the republicans will say the guide -- he's a constitutional lawyer who acted unconstitutionally! >> why did he do it? >> because it was the big centerpiece of obam

why do health care stocks as the supreme court is hearing this landmark case about obama care. e stocks had a big rally. now, what do they know that the rest of the world, including the supreme court justice don't yet know? >> i know, that's the interesting thing as you look at the ten sectors. it was the leader of the pack today. interestingly, we really don't learn anything until tomorrow, necessarily. you know, an interesting trade there. but obviously, a sector that certainly hasn't flourished this year. so it could be just getting a bounce of one of the sectors, perhaps that hasn't played as well in 2012. but as far as bernanke goes, he's really on message with what he's been saying. we didn't get new information today, necessarily. i don't know if people were expecting him to say things look great. that certainly hasn't been his pattern. he's a student of the great depression and fears the most of being too soon in terms of tightening here. so i think he's on message here. and i'm surprised that the market is taking this with such a celebration. >> keith, let me come back

obama care vs. romney care. i don't object to the question. the question almost never gets publicity. >> bill: santorum doesn't like this guy. where does he go from here? what's up? >> the next big event. there is several, next big test will probably be wisconsin, which is going to be winner take all. a number of delegates. and this is the kind of state which romney has been able to eke out wins over santorum and held santorum back. and if santorum could pull off an upset it might give his campaign. >> bill: when is that? >> a week from tomorrow. there is also a primary in maryland where santorum would not be expected to do well that day. one in the district of columbia where he is not even on the ballot. romney will get another batch of delegates. probably win the night on delegates. this is the problem santorum has, bill. he he may win contests as he did in louisiana. but he -- >> bill: gingrich doesn't have any money left. he is going to have to pay people out of his own pocket or stiff them. >> go where he can get on tv and travel around a

obama care dictates personal behavior. you have to buy health care insurance whether you want to or not, like broccoli or cell phones? >> this is what you get when you have a bunch of technocrats forming policy. they won't look at philosophical issues or the constitution, not issues of freedom. they are just going to make sure that the numbers balance at the end of the day and this is what you get. >> i'm glad you admit that numbers actually balance, because if the supreme court overturns this or congress repeals it, it will add $140 billion to the deficit and 32 million people -- according to the cbo, 32 million people will lose insurance. this may be unpopular right now, there are a lot of elements that people do like, like coverage for preexisting conditions, people under 26 being able to stay on their parents' plans. >> it's unpopular because it's unconstitutional. >> there is nothing unconstitutional about this. >> jimmy, whatever happened to limits to government? is there no balance, jimmy p.? >> listen, if the suprem

and as far as obama care, the democrats have put a stake through the best health care system in the world. and to me it's about individual freedom, individual liberties, to be able to eat what i want, do what i want, spend my money how i money, how i want. and we have very good health insurance through my husband's employer, but guess what? we are probably going to lose it all and have to buy it because of obama care. because obama karin sent vised companies to drop the coverage that they provide their employees. so how is obama care going to make my life any better? >> julie, quickly, please. >> caller: i'm sorry? >> please with your second comment. >> caller: the funding coming into medicare is going to come into costs by rations of -- how can people support something like that knowing they're going to be elderly that way. >> thanks, jewel he, st. joe, missouri. from twitter someone who calls himself patriots resistance. i would go to prison before i pay a fine to the government because i didn't buy health insurance. we're taking these comments in a fee minutes before we're able to tran

it is an improvement to obama- care. >> all right. >> repeal obama-care.ause] >> now i am going to tell you a story. 2010, obama-care is passed into law. republicans over here, conservatives over here, in congress were like "what are we going to do? we have been vanquished. they have 60 votes in senate. the thing has been signed. what are we going to do/" we set everyone down and we said we need to repeal this entire bill. [applause] >> some of our friends were a little afraid, but thankfully representatives like michele bachmann from minnesota introduced bills to repeal obama-care, and then we said that is not enough. you need to sound -- signed a house discharge position to go around nancy pelosi and repeal obama-care. we had signature after signature. they were signing this thing. then, we said now, you blue dogs, you voted against obama- care, and you said that you opposed it. now we are going to hold your feet to the pop -- fire. we in meld them. we said tell your member of congress, call them, tell them to sign this petition, especially as they said

all he says i'll repeal obama care and in the same breath he defends obama care at the state level. it just doesn't wash and it won't wash in the general election. that's why if you really want obama care repealed there is only one person who can make that happen and that someone who makes obama care the central issue in this race. and that's what i do. anybody else? i -- i think i'm having trouble hearing questions but whether i believe it's constitutional, look, i don't think obviously i don't believe that obama care is constitutional and i didn't advocate for a federal mandate at the federal level. i have been for free arkt health care, not government run health care. >> of course governor romney supporters are going to want everybody out of the way. it would be nice if governor romney and everybody got out of my way. that's not how primaries work. i heard governor sununu say all of the significant people said that rick santorum should get out of the race. well, i guess we'll have to leave it to the insignificant voters of america to step forward and challenge the significant peo

care. president obama's national health care.matter what the supreme court decides, what's the next move? representive michele bachmann join us. nice to see you. >> good to see you, greta. >> greta: that was within seconds of when the national health care law was passed, wasn't it? >> actually, this is just recently. this last one. >> right after the president, right after it was signed, you introduced one. >> i did. actually, the night that the bill was passed on the house floor, i turned to one of my colleagues, mike penn, and i said we've got to do something, enter a repeal bill, and he said michele, have at it. my staff and i wrote the bill, and the next morning i was the fur member ofirst member of cone floor. i thought it was imperative that we let the american people know we are not waiving the white flag of surrender on socia socil eyesd medicine. we're not giving up. >> what was the vote on that, by the way, do you remember? we got killed. it was more than enough. that's when nancy pelosi ran the house of representatives

barack obama, obama care, the democrats guarantee others access to all life liberty and property. and that's not what was intended as was pointed out earlier, barack obama complained that this is a negative rights constitution, not a positive rights constitution. i would like to remind him also the constitution mentions a lawyer it does not mention a doctor. so -- yes. so i'm going to be brief just because i'm going to be brief. but this is -- i'm really honored to be here especially with all these women who we're supposed to be at war with. and we are. they just didn't mean it that way. it's an honor to be here and see all you people out here and just keep this going. keep this going for seven and a half months and november of this year will be a transformational change the likes of which barack obama had seen but not wanted. so thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. keep it up. >> the first time that i came to washington, d.c. for tea party patriots i met a lady named katherine who is very involved in fighting this legislation at the time it was still legislation and not actua

but obama care or the affordable care act in itself is enough to destroy america. it's going to destroy our freedom. it's going to destroy the quality of health care. i'm a medical doctor, as you know. and it's going to destroy the doctor-patient relationship. it's going to destroy the quality of health care. it's going to destroy budgets from the federal budgets to state budgets to personal buckets and businesses budgets. so we've got to have somebody in office who will sign a bill to repeal obama care and replace it with something that literally lowers the cost of health care. right now the patient option act which will do that. >> you have a bill to do that. let me ask you about mitt romney's stance on this. >> sure. >> here is the atlanta journal constitution on romney's health mandate flip-flop exposed. back in july 2009 at the crucial point in the debate over obama care when the public option was still in play, romney did put out an op-ed in the paper offering obama his massachusetts plan as a substitute for the public option and explicitly recommended the in

obama care vs. romney care. i don't object to the question.e question almost never gets publicity. >> bill: santorum doesn't like this guy. where does he go from here? what's up? >> the next big event. there is several, next big test will probably be wisconsin, which is going to be winner take all. a number of delegates. and this is the kind of state which romney has been able to eke out wins over santorum and held santorum back. and if santorum could pull off an upset it might give his campaign. >> bill: when is that? >> a week from tomorrow. there is also a primary in maryland where santorum would not be expected to do well that day. one in the district of columbia where he is not even on the ballot. romney will get another batch of delegates. probably win the night on delegates. this is the problem santorum has, bill. he he may win contests as he did in louisiana. but he -- >> bill: gingrich doesn't have any money left. he is going to have to pay people out of his own pocket or stiff them. >> go where he can get on tv and travel around a li

. >>> sizzle number two, day three of the obama care in the supreme court. you'll hear the term severability. the big question is if the health insurance mandate is overturned, what about the rest of the legislation? that's what it means. >>> meanwhile -- >> once you cut the guts out of it, who knows? who knows which of it were really desired by congress on their own and which ones weren't. >> my approach would say if you take the heart out of the statute, the statute is gone. >> well, we begin tonight with our top story. the case of trayvon martin, an unarmed, black teenager killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer. this is quickly becoming national flash point. the 17-year-old was shot to death on february 26th by george zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer as martin was walking back in a gated community. he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and carrying candy and a can of iced tea. but according to witnesses, martin attacked zimmerman before he was shot. tonight, martin's parents have bought two trademarks saying they hope to raise money to help crime

is the obama care unconstitutional. e court is hearing arguments from 26 states saying the federal government has exceeded authority enforcing health care around the nation. the two-year-old patient and affordable care act mandates, forces americans to buy health insurance. those who can't afford it will receive subsidies from the feds. according to a new cbs poll 47% of americans disapprove of obama care. 36% say they like it. that will not influence the supreme court at all. nine justices must rule on the constitutionality of the law. it is widely expected that the four liberal junction, ginsburg, breyer, sotomayor and kagan will oppose the right of congress to enforce health care. one vote is needed among the rest in order for constitutionality to be he upheld. one vote. i don't think that's going to harassment i believe the supreme court will strike down the obama care individual mandate by a 5 to 4 vote. that's because the original intent of the constitution was to allow states to decide these kinds of i. if massach

it's the 27th of march 2012. >> the supreme court fwat el over obama care round two. y issue at today's hear something the individual mandate. doug luzader has details for us. >>> round two today. this is the crux of the entire case against president obama's healthcare plan. outside the court as we have been seeing the crowds and protests have been building over the past few days. this is the day that most people have been waiting for when the court will tackle the very essence of obama care which is that requirement that all americans purchase health insurance. 26 states will argue that it goes too far. >> if you breathe congress can regulate you. that's what we have to stop the slippery slope from happening. >>> now yesterday the court heard arguments about the timing of the case. every american would have to pay the government money if they don't buy insurance. there's a legal question about whether that technically attacks or if it's a fine or penalty. if it is taxed the court might have to hold off on a decision and still the tax would be enforced the irs in 2015

i said he was worst republican to run on the issue of obama care, and that's what i was talking about every speech i give, i said he is uniquely disqualified to run on the issue of obama and health care. >> you think he is the worst republican to run -- >> to run against barack obama on the issue of health care. he fashioned the blueprint. i have been favoring it on every speech, quit distorting my words. if i see it, it's [ bleep ]. >> it's the third time i was asked this question in the matter of four minutes. there was a whole gaggle of reporters, literally five feet away and he was standing there. i'm sure -- i mean aassume he was standing there, everyone was standing in the group, there was a large group there, i was asked that question, i was asked it again. and so mitt romney is the worst republican in the country? that's what he said, listen to his words. what speech did you listen to? i was talking about obama care, listen to his words, and i said, what speech did you listen to? i was talking about obama care and romney care and that governor romney's uniquely disqualified to

obama care is going to the supreme court. on there's an obama second term this thing becomes etched in stone, obama care does, and the only way you can repeal it is to get back the white house. >> let me talk then since you bring it up about health care. as both a court watcher, you're a lawyer, as well as a campaign watcher -- >> right. >> this is certainly the nexus of the two. >> absolutely. >> how does this affect the debate in 2012 if the supreme court says, listen, this individual mandate forcing people to buy health insurance for themselves or face a fine is okay with us. what if it's the whole law stands? >> i think a lot of democrats hope the law gets stricken down, that the mandate is ruled unconstitutional because the political issue sort of is watered down. i don't know what the court is going to do. from a political point of view, this is probably the centerpiece of the debate in the fall, the proper role of government. did the obama care live up to its billing the way it was passed in the dark of night behind the

obama care was never about health care. it was always about government power and control and that's why you now have these constitutional issues. >> bill: i don't believe that i don't believe that for a second. i believe that barack obama and the liberal left, the democratic party's liberal left wants the government to basically give people free health care. that is the essence of the nanny state. >> that gets to the essence of the bigger point that i just made to you, bill. this was not about health care. this was about government seizing more liberties from you. but, remember, the reason that this was the first thing out of the box. forget about the economy, forget about jobs, forget all the things the american people were screaming for when he came into office in january of '09. the reason they went into the health care weeds is because if the government controls your health care, the government controls you. that's what the full constitutional challenge is about. >> bill: it is about control. i do think the motivation wa

>> what i thought at first is that this is a 3d example of what obama care is going to mean in every life from now on because essentially for the first time in the history of the country we have one person who will be a health care czar who will not only dictate what we get in health care but more importantly what we won't get in health care. that's going to be the future of health care in the united states. >> we're across purposes. that wasn't the question. >> i'm sorry. >> the question is what you thought of rush limbaugh calling this law student an slut and a prostitute. what did you make of that? i thought the most offensive thing on the air waves since i've been in america. >> rush issued an apology and he said that he was wrong because he descended to the level of those people he considers the critics. i think, again, when you look at the crux of this, i go back up to the 50,000-foot level. we kind of focus on what happened the last 24 hours or 72 hours. i'm looking forward to what obama care's going to look like for the average american and right now, this discussion has been

it's the blue print for obama care. don't believe me, ask obama. look what governor romney said not only defended romney care, in 2008, he said mandates are good. i like mandates. mandates work. those same mandates are the ones brought before the united states supreme court. why would we put someone up who is uniquely. pick any other republican in the country he is the worst republican in the country to put up against barack obama. why would someone vote for someone like that. >> he tried to clear the air. >> you said mitt romney is the worst republican in the country to put up against barack obama. >> i was saying with the issue of healthcare. i was talking obama care as you heard me care. that's exactly what i said. on the issue of healthcare. that's what i was talking about. i was very clear about that. >> however, his intent to clarify his comments being over shadowed by what he told the u.s. times reporter off camera. he said quit distorting my words. it's bull blank. he leased a statement. i was aggressively attacked by a new york times report

with pre-existing conditions are going to get less health care, lower quality health care under obama care, than they would under a state-run plan. >> do you think they can get less health care under obama care than they did before obama care was enacted? >> they probably will. it will definitely cost more, for everyone, and it will be inefficient and it won't be as patient-focused. >> i have to ask you tonight, senator, are you speaking from experience with that plan you have in the congress? i doubt it. if the supreme court strikes down the affordable care act, health care will be in the lap of the republicans. yes, they will own it and we'll have no progress. they have no plans for the uninsured in this country. they don't care about people who can't afford it. it's shameful, but mitt romney seems almost proud of his position. here's what he told conservative radio talker, the low-rated hugh hewitt, the other day. >> the president's campaign manager said that you are the godfather of obama care. if that's who you are, can you make the democrats an offer they can't refuse to repeal it? >

abolish obama-care. abolish obama-care.plause] >> we are going to alter the occupying of the white house come november. so, i say to all of you, because the mainstream media and the liberals -- are you all booing me? [laughter] >> they want you to believe that we cannot do this, and i'm here to tell you, state inspired. state inspired that we can do this -- stagy inspired. stay inspired that we will repeal obama-care. stay inspired the we will change washington, d.c., and i want you to stay inspired with the spirit of the bumblebee. d.c., when i was in college, i learned -- you see, when i was in college, i learned that the bumblebee is not supposed to fly. you and i know that the bumblebee flys. he will see some this spring. we know that the bumblebee fries -- flies because we have seen it. i was in mathematics and physics major. we started that if you take equations of motion and you measure the caribbean and the parameters of the bumblebee reaching the aerodynamics parameters of the bomb but -- the aerodynamics parameter

obama care is not going to dramatically lower health care costs as he said he would. but believe it or not, and i know you're going to have trouble believese believing this, it's going to cost almost twice as much as president obama said it would over the next 10 years. i know you're shocked to hear this. twice as much, almost $2 trillion over the next 10 years. $2 trillion. of taxing you and then telling you how to spend the money that they took from you. and that's what they're going to do. you see, with these regulations not only are they going to tell you what product to buy, how much you're going to be taxed and the businesses you are going to be taxed. but then they're going to tell you what benefits you're going to get and if you don't like them, if you have a religious objection to them, too bad. when the government says they give you a right, they can tell you how to exercise that right whether you like it or not and you had better like it. that's barack obama's view of freedom in america. we need -- we needed someone who can go out and take president obama on

now, i know you're a supporter of obama care. mney's standpoint in the republican primary, so far people are saying romney care's too much like obama care, santorum's killing him on that subject. does romney have to change his whole health care message? >> here's the problem, larry, nobody's going to believe him if he does. look, whatever you think of obama care or romney care, it's the law of the land, 98% of the people in massachusetts have it have health insurance as a result of it. and even if romney said, well, i made a terrible mistake and i promise to veto the whole thing, people don't believe him. that's his problem. romney's problem is not that he's moderate or he's, you know, doesn't say the right thing or he can't touch people, his problem is people do not believe mitt romney in his heart and soul as a conservative. and the republican primary in this year of the tea party is a very tough position to be in. >> but it's a battle worth winning last 25 or 30 seconds here. i know the economy's getti inti better. gas prices a

we love obama care! we love obama care! >> tonight's truth won't satisfy either side. he hay court's decision will settle the constitutional questions around this one very important health care you law. but the court won't settle the role of government debate. hardly. that job rightfully falls on you, the voters. your verdict in 2008 was pretty clear. so was your verdict in 2010. both were decisive election plan dates. they just happened to be in direct conflict with each other. so now it's on to 2012. and you have choice to settle this. clearly. or to continue the tug of war that is divided government.clea. or to continue the tug of war that is divided government.this. clearly. or to continue the tug of war that is divided government. let's talk with our panel. to the sense that the significance of this case is what? and some people would argue if you're a conservative, you'd rather lose. have help uphold the law. >> there's a robust debate about the size and scope of government, its role in your life. it would not only apply to health care, but a whole bunch of other

>> women will lose under obama care under the healthcare. we will have denial of care, less care and it will cost an awful a lot more money. >> if this obama care is fully implemented. >> if obama is still in office obama care is going to hurt america. >> the part that he doesn't say is that they will die. >> to seniors, i have a message for you. you're going to die soon. >> that was awesome. what a weird we haven't all died yet. it's passed, and yet here we are. the country is still here. we're still here. it's still unpopular in the country overall but not by much. 47% to 36% according to a poll still disapprove of it but that's little wonder give all the enormous propaganda against this act by the republicans and no defense by the democrats. but it's a new day in america and obama administration has woken up on the two-year anniversary saying, maybe we should fight back to which i say say, of course! of course you should fight back! so now david axelrod has done an e-mail blast saying, hell yeah i like obama care and asking people why they
