about health care reform was huge. when you actually go you there the elements of the reform bill, the reform law, people are widely supportive. so, again, sort of has to do with how this comes out. i trust the president doing a good job selling it to the public. the other interesting element what this does to republican candidate. fact matter if the law is upheld that puts republican nominee siding with the supreme court and against the tea party or side with the tea party and against the supreme court and they will side with the tea party. but that is awkward position for someone who wants to lead our country. that sound really great for a talking point but here s the reality. we needed health care reform incrementally both health insurance reform and health care delivery reform. we got neither with obamacare. what we got, considering we have a lack of doctors, about 380,000 short . megyn: i don t want to get back into arguing merits of the law. my point is, americans look
the blessing of u.s. supreme court. if you believe in short term memory which americans have politically. if we get a ruling in june or july. megyn: i think i remember. we look what potentially will happen in the supreme court. they will rule on constitutionality. on severability which is the big part of this. megyn: drop the mandate does the whole law fail. drop the mandate does the whole law fail. they decided to take it up on the argument that the president obama and administration on one rule is it a tax. can you tax americans when it comes to medicare and medicaid. the problem for this for him, independents especially who are going to decide the election are not in favor of this law. when you break that down into polling even further it is broken down by taxpayer and socioeconomic status. those who are typically receiving more services, more entitlements, more care on his side but majority of the independents and center-right nation looking at it as government intrusion, big
