republicans wanted. this is kind of a no win situation for them because based on the fact that chief justice roberts and the other four members of the supreme court who upheld this law in 2012 are still on the court, the prospect of success for them are remote. and the fact that health care was how can roberts say this is a tax law if it doesn t have a tax in it? the argument is congress made a decision december 2017 to zero out the tax penalty. at no point did congress say it wanted to overturn the rest of the law. it tried to repeal the rest of the law and failed. so it s difficult the legal argument against this is that congress has made clear it wanted to repeal just this aspect and didn t think the rest of the law had to go with it. adrian, do you think i can this h i think this has to be taken to the public. yeah. we want some form of national health for people that don t have health care. there would be some way of getting to people that normally can t get it in
lot of people that work really hard, put in 40 or 50 hours and still don t have healthcare. for any universality or help to give these families for healthcare, i think it is a mistake for country. it allows us to be healthy, competitive, and has helped business in a lot of ways. i think this is a mistake by the court and i don t quite understand because they re talking about the individual mandate which, in many states, there is an individual mandate for car insurance. that is something that has been done all over the country to say, we know you re going to get into a car accident so unique car insurance. you know you re going to get six he should have to health insurance. and if you cannot afford it we should help pay. maria: well, do you think there s any overlap in terms of commonality between republicans and democrats to come up with a new bill, new legislation in the new congress to actually create the right healthcare plan for americans? i don t think so.

in a long-term and every indication is that they are starting to arrive. yes, i think he turned on institutional structures. we are still not operating under the full protection of the voting rights act. in 2016 we saw what happened in the democrats. we re seeing especially a case like georgia, stacey abrams has galvanized the state of georgia, not just atlanta, not just faerns do you think the purple of georgia is real? i ve done some work in georgia and i ve seen it. there are a lot of people who are switching from the republican party to at least being in the middle to say, well, listen, you know, i actually don t have a job and i don t have healthcare and she s been in the legislature, seems that she knows how to work with some of these folks from down state. she s going against the secretary of state who is her opponent, referee and rule maker. i will disagree with you, quickly. when you say affirmative action is dead, i think it s alive and well, all we have to do is look
going to do well. look, i m not going to take away the economic numbers from president trump even though some of them still bleed away from obama. what i will say is it s the quality of the jobs. a lot of times you re talking about jobs that don t have health care, don t have the benefits we re seeking and don t have the living wage we re looking for. depending on what you re trying to deliver to the people versus your promise, some can say we ve fallen short. and the post script to that is that health care at least in the polling was a big important factor when it came to this poll that came out this morning. still ahead, what happened to the journalist and how will the white house respond if it turns out that saudi arabia was involved? saudi arabia was involved a wealth of information. a wealth of perspective. a wealth of opportunities. that s the clarity you get from fidelity wealth management. straightforward advice, tailored recommendations, tax-efficient investing strategie
