wendell potter and yourself gepy are with us.dell, you brought up politics earlier in the programme. the affordable care act was a big issue in the midterms in 2010 and 2014. in 2010, before the law had taken effect. can we expect the same the next time around? >> i think it will be an issue, i think probably not after 2016. i'm not sure it will be as much a factor in 2016 as it would have been otherwise. in fact, i'm certain it will not be. i think you'll see a diminishment of health care as a - as an issue that will be at the top of people's interests. i think people have some fatigue about health care, and we have many other problems. so i think you'll see people beginning to shift their attention elsewhere. that includes pol teshes tirps too -- politicians, too. >> do you agree? >> sort of. i think it will certain be less important than other factors like the economy. that being said, i think there's still some things coming down the pipe that will piss people off potentially. there are opportunities for higher premium increa

one by wendell potter who is a whistleblower among many things wrote a book for the insurance industry called nation on the take and is the story of the hugely corrosive effect of money in politics and how it will affect every american at the grassroots level. not just the political system in washington but every american as they lived day-to-day any documents have the effect is happening. hopefully will have some effect on the spending of money in politics it won't help the presidential election year for the amount of money spent. able for the first time a clear to the average american the price they are paying for the amount of money being spent. lastly, out of the blue a month ago i got an e-mail from tom daschle. tom daschle doesn't know me at all saying i'm writing a book with trent lott, a counterpart on the republican side about bipartisanship and the lack of it today and all about leadership and the need to restore leadership. would you be interested. first i thought it can be tom daschle but it was. i said of course i'm interested. i think please send it and within three days

and wendell potter senior analyst for the center of republican integrity, as i started this broadcast tonight, i said i did not have amnesia, i want you to know if i had, obama care would cover that too. how big a day is it? >> the president's had a huge day and huge week. many progressives don't agree, he got the trade agreement through, and now he's got obama care pretty much nailed down they can pick around the edges if they want to. this is a done deal and one of the first things that's going to happen which is very exciting i predict now that more republican governors are going to start allowing their citizens to have health insurance. if they don't, they're just taking money out of their own hospital budgets. the game is over as far as obama care goes. it is the law of the land, it's a huge victory for this president. he's had an unbelievable week. maybe the best of his presidency presidency. >> let me ask you, do you think that going after obama care is a graveyard? what do you think? >> well i think they are going to. i would like to hear what wendell says about this. he's a t

tom goldstein and former health insurance industry executive wendell potter senior analyst at the center for public integrity. thank you for joining me. let me start out with you, tom, picking up on what i asked ari, if we have the book of obamacare here, i'm looking at reaction from a number of republicans who say that obamacare is fundamentally broken increasing health care costs to millions of americans, kind of the same rhetoric, no one is presenting an alternative to obamacare or any language at this point that makes me believe we would be leading up to another legal battle. what do you see here as the book of obamacare, as i keep calling it? >> i do think this entire set of challenges is over. the administration has to be incredibly relieved that two major blows directed at it and survived under the pen of chief justice john roberts who's a well-known conservative. i don't think those who are opposed to obamacare have really any options left now either than getting it repealed by congress or a republican president undoing a lot of the regulations that the president put in place. ne
