the best day of the year. and the best june in 13 years. lucky 13 i guess. why? well, we were touched by an angel. and considering how important europe is to american jobs and to this presidential election, the president was touched by an angel too. yes. yes, she is, the angel in this case is literal. angela merkel putting another band aid on the europe crisis that buoyed stocks around the planet. literally this started in asia and fell all the way through. this was pretty incredible news. she caved sort of. looks like they re about to kiss, doesn t it? european leaders today said they ll allow troubled banks to use emergency money from the european union. basically that means mostly german rescue funds. that s the truth of it. the bottom line, it means the money will get to the banks more quickly. helping countries like spain, whose crisis is threatening to break up the entire european experiment. now, the market celebrated, that s for sure. this is not the final solution. a
from penn state university. that doesn t add up. let s go outfront. good evening, everyone. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, party time. both sides spinning the health care verdict. the president celebrating his individual mandate ruling at the supreme court. today, i m as confident as ever that when we look back five years from now or ten years from now or 20 years from now, we ll be better off because we have the courage to pass this law and keep moving forward. and republicans seeing a way to rally the base. after all, this is now a fight for the underdog. hey, the supreme court failed to repeal what republicans see as a hated health care act. a big overreach of big government. but if you like mitt romney, he is going to slay the health care dragon. what the court did not do on its last day in session, i will do on my first day if elected president of the united states. well, that was pretty loud and clear. both sides were celebrating. partying it up. like

good evening everyone. i m erin burnett. outfront tonight, the health care fight that doesn t add up. love it or loathe it. the individual mandate, the heart of president obama s signature domestic achievement is in jeopardy tonight. republicans are already circling the wagons. we made it pretty clear and i ll make it clear one more time. if the court does not strike down the entire law, the house will move to repeal what s left of it. there are three things to know about the bill tonight. as we count down to the supreme court s biggest decision of the year. first this, only one in ten americans would even be required to get health insurance under the president s mandate. yes, you heard me right. the mandate is wildly unpopular but it doesn t require anything from a lot of us. most americans already have insurance and another 22 to 24 million americans will be exempt from the mandate because they don t earn enough money to file income taxes or they re in prison or they
