lou: obamacare, if we can show the poll, 56 percent oppose obamacare and 40% approve? i have never seen a program quite like this but that is a remarkable disapproval of the government what and program. >> it is stunning quite frankly. that mirrors the president's numbers because he is deeply attached is signature accomplishment and is on popular as he is in the current polls. lou: congressman ryan has made headlines over immigration reform is not if but when but to say it is part of the problem curbing economic growth. what is your thoughts on that claim? >> we have had this conversation before. i am the big believer the great program to help with policy we should think hard to the international competitiveness but i would be hard place to put that current loss up as what troubles economic growth but tax laws, regulatory expansion, certainly i am worried about the massive spending not extend the debt we drive up. there is some things i play in front of the immigration and that we should grow more rapidly. lou: the council of economic advisers saying he believes the ch

obamacare will not be repealed but republicans better come up with a strategy of fixing obamacare as long as this president is the president. that is for another three years. heather: alan, we heard the ad by chip beaker. he is running for the state public utility commission. so do you think it's a good idea for folks running for smaller offices to be using this strategy as well? >> i don't know what it would have to do with utility commission but if you're running in conservative state like alabama or conservative district, don't forget the jolly victory was in heavily pinellas county, very republican district, bill young served for decades. but brad is exactly right. there has to be an alternative. republicans have to come up with new ideas if they're going to change what is already law. they're not going to overturn the affordable care act. by the way a new bloomburg poll shows 64% of the americans don't want to change it or make slight modifications. now that the republicans want to take advice from me, i don't think running against obamacare in of itself will win elections. heat

from td ameritrade. >>> another big obamacare delay this week. you can bet some endangered senate democrats are breathing a sigh of relief. the white house announced wednesday it would allow consumers to keep health insurance plans that don't meet the requirements of the affordable care act until 2016, pushing the next wave of cancellation notices until well after the midterm elections. we are back with dan henninger and kim strassel, "wall street journal" editorial board member joe ragle joins the panel. first question, all these delays, where does this leave the insurance companies? >> it's dramatically increasing risk and uncertainty in the industry. there's been about 37 changes to the affordable care act so far. most of them unilateral administrative actions of dubious legality. all this is being built into the premium structure and will increase premiums going forward next year. it's raising questions about the larger viability of this law. is this going to be reopened, what are the rules going to be going forward? >> the money is just not

let's get to obamacare. you can bet that if and when they reach the 7 million target, they will sound those trumpets. joining us now from capitol hill , republican from wyoming. cooking the books with these numbers. do you want to explain that, sir? >> what we do not know is how many people actually have insurance. we know they have gone to the website. we do not know how many have actually paid. when you look at a number of states that do follow this closely, they have actually paid to have insurance. they also will not tell you how many of the people that are buying insurance are really folks who have had their insurance canceled because it did not meet the obamacare regulations. how many of them have just purchased insurance. they are not really newly insured. the administration said they wanted to have 30 million people who did not have insurance to become in short. we do not have any idea there. we do not know if it is the younger healthier group that is really signing up. according to the administratio

obamacare is the law of the land. it's never going to be changed. >> wait a minute. >> you can change it at the edges, said the democrat whose party change it had how many times, 27, 37 times? >> but the time you get to 2017 when a new republican president, by the time they can move a bill, there will be millions and millions of people involved in this obamacare. >> only president obama can change it. >> it's a done deal. you lost. you might as we'll get used to it. >> you can do something about it. >> it's not a done deal yet. it is the law. it can be repealed -- >> after 20 million people are on it. >> however, you know what's not a done deal, the cost. the cost of obamacare is going to skyrocket. keep talking obamacare, bob, because you're going to lose 2014, and you're going to lose 2016. as long as obamacare is around you'll lose. >> you'll never change obamacare. >> the employer mandate, that tidal wave, you will not be able to escape it. >> you're not going to change obamacare. >> no delay will save you. >> pre

obamacare was the deciding factor. no question and it scared the pants off of democrats favor hoping to run on this through november and they discover they better come up with the message because this one does not work. lou: speaker boehner was asked if they've relying too much on the debacle we're focused on jobs in the country don't underestimate the effect obamacare is having. he was pretty straightforward. >> be realistic. the jobs the economy directly affected by obamacare. people who had full-time jobs things to obamacare now have part-time jobs some don't have a job at all and that big lie that was told of $25 less, and families are getting sticker shock. but it was to ensure all the uninsured under 4.2 million 75% had insurance before but they were dropped because of obamacare. all love these people of -- 75 percent are actually only previously uninsured so from every standpoint it is a failure and especially around the necks of democrats. lou: more to come. we appreciate you being here. be sure to tune into hu

for unpaid medical bills because obamacare gives patients who are not paying their premiums for obamacare of 90 degrees period before the plan is cancelled. insurers would pay claims for just the first month of that 90 days period good doctors are stuck with the bill over the next 60 of 90 days. did the policy still calls it a winner for democrats but don't call its obamacare even if president obama uses the word. here is the house minority leader today who dared to use the word obamacare. >> it is called the affordable care act. i know you did not need any complement or derogatory it is called the affordable care act. >> even the president says that. >> i tell him the same thing [laughter] it is affordable care acta there is a reason. affordable. lou: you cannot save much when the minority leader can tell the president what he can say and author and columnist fox news contributor with nationally syndicated talk show host, i have to start with the speaker she started that weird cackle trying to take down the impact correcting the president of the united states on his own signature lot? th

they just want obamacare to disappear. it's dropping in poll numbers in terms of what's important to voters, believe it or not. that's good for democrats. because the further down it is on people's minds. the less likely it is to kick them out of office. especially vulnerable red state democrats. in one regard you can say he is throwing these guys under the bus. if they take out a bill that will say amend the healthcare law, that's not necessarily going to help these red state democrats for the reason rick was just saying. i think more it's going to draw attention to it and open the law back up for more attention and scrutiny and legislative action. >> i read senator harry reid was quoted saying five and 7 million people signed up for obamacare. >> he didn't say they paid but, he is out there throwing out numbers. >> yeah. between 5 and 20 if you want to keep going, sure. i suppose that's right. >> what happens april 1st? >> i think more important than the number of people that actually sign up, the people who pay the prem

this plan, obamacare in general is a great start. it's not an end to itself, it's a means to an end. >> why didn't they do it that way to begin w why didn't they allow people to keep plans to begin with. >> the whole idea is so cynical when you think about democrats pretending this is a legitimate strategy when even senator manchin himself say can't offer any bills with obamacare. the president doesn't want legislative fixes. why did they not put the copper plan in the first place, they called these predatory plans. the idea was to get young people off cheap plans and have to buy into bronze and silver plans to fund the expansion of medicaid, which is essentially what obamacare is. >> the whole point of obamacare is to bring down health care cost and cover more people. that's exactly what is happening. by increasing choice -- increasing competition and allowing, for example, looking at models to have insurance be sold across state lines, these are fixes that make sense. >> not fixes talking about. >> speaking of elections, i've got t

and the republicans are making a lot of noises about obamacare, but obamacare, it seems, if this president is largely irrelevant doesn't carry quite the scathing indictment of the democratic party that it might otherwise if he were more irrelevant, and frankly, more engaged. >> well, in a way you say he's not on the ballot, and his name is not going to be on the ballot, but he's on the ballot. every policy that he's pushed, whether it's obamacare, whether it's a radicalization of american culture, and i think what this chief counsel to the vatican said, you alluded to it in the introduction, is exactly right. this is an administration that has not become indifferent to religion, it's become hostile. when this administration always sides with the most secularist voices popular to tell military chaplains put your bibles away and hide them. don't say anything about god or jesus because somebody might not understand it. you can't keep doing that kind of thing and have any credibility left as a president who is in touch with what i call the roots of america. >> and strongly and powerfully the r

agreed, we want a broader message than just obamacare, but this election was about obamacare. >> he prevailed against the democrat that was more widely known. >> you should offer a more broad message. we can and should offer different alternatives for improving access to health care. this is an indication that the issue will drive the elections and it is a loser for democrats. the president does not have any clout in an off year. >> you thought democrats should embrace obamacare. >> they are not going to embrace it now. this swing voter handled herself fine. the problem was turnout. we have elections, 2006 and 2010. what was different? republicans have terrible numbers. in 94, they were seen as a safe alternative. right now, both parties are not held in high regard. at the end of the day, those conditions -- we are playing a lot of away games. to win the senate, the republicans have to have a clean sweep. i'm not a believer in colorado. udall is strong. this is a huge warning for our democratic campaign. that turnout will be harder than they thought. >> we have another eight months to revisit

, run in favor of fixing obamacare. now obamacare was almost four years old. it was a number of years ago it was voted into law and democrats haven't done anything substantial to fix it in the congress. do you think voters are going to believe now right before the midterm that they want to somehow fix it? >> not at all. they are going to see it for what it is, which is election year engineering. this is just a badly conceived law. it was ram-rodded through by a partisan vote. it doesn't work, tucker. and the american people know that. so you have folks like mark warner or dannon in virginia who has a business background who will say he'll be mr. fix-it on this thing, but if it were an investment, he never would have invested in the business plan of obamacare because it was too rosy, badly conceived and highly partisan. >> i'm going to throw a number on the screen and give you a sense of why the democrats don't want this election to be about obama. if the president campaigned for a candidate, are you more likely to vote

problem, to throw in the mix with obamacare. to think that obamacare is still standing a as a law, in every element. it is a disaster, i am saying that, there is a problem with every element of this law. today federal judges in dc circuit court of appeals, split on whether won' obamacare permis subsidys is in states with fedel run health insurance exchanges. if -- >> they are out of business, if you have states have fos have fl rights this is classic. if states are provideing it can feds, is that going to work? that is what judges are split about. lou: i want to turn to one thing to wrap up, a federal judge ruleed last week, that arizona and kansas can require residents to prove they are u.s. citizens to register to vote, a have -- victory for states rights moving to voter i.d. to register. is it going to stand? >> it should be able to stand. state, saying there is a state interest here, not that we're trying to violate privacy rights, but we have a compelling state interest that allows for privacy to bend. in favor of the state

obamacare, even energy. obama's energy policy. today the epa issued a regulation where gas prices are going to go up $10 a gallon. all these policies are harming hard-working americans, even the coal miners are being harmed with regulations. with obamacare, i think they should continue to talk about it. >> so you agree with continuing on the attack mode instead of coming out and saying, here's what we would do? >> we have proposed some things. we have harry reid, who's standing in the way in the senate. so, you know, there are some ideas that are on the table in the house, but they have not gone past harry reid. >> julie, the polls are working in the democrats' favor because the majority of americans would rather see obamacare proceed albeit with course corrections. >> right. you know, i can't believe i'm giving the republicans advice, but what i would do, if i were advising republicans, is i wouldn't nationalize this election. this is a midterm. you're not running a presidential. what works, for example, in kentucky against mitch

basically, that is a disincentive to work built into obamacare. it gives subsidies and certain tax credits to people that don't earn that much and they'll have to pay more for their health care. why work? and again, that encourages this whole culture of entitlement, depending on the government. >> but surely, some employers are going to start firing workers all together or placing the full time to part time. >> absolutely. because if you have 50 full time worker, you have to provide health insurance. if you have 53 worker, aren't you going to fire four just to get under that you know, to get under that, that base. and we've also seen that people are starting to do this. they're making full time workers into part time workers. investors business daily say that 500 companies so far are already terminating or putting to part time. >> president obama said the health care plan is with lower the health care costs. it turns out, obamacare is saddled with all kinds of new taxes and mandates and regulations that will increase the cost for families and empl

another idiotic move by the obamacare administration. >> what do you really think? >> the technology that allows people to hook up to the internet from their devices. >> bill? >> i'm not worried that the wrong governments are going to control the internet but i don't think any government has controlled the internet. >> they've stopped people -- >> some new google software stops people from getting on. >> rick, anything that could silence the voice of those brave people putting their lives on the line, anything, i'm not convinced that it absolutely will but shouldn't be investigate more carefully before we give it away? >> i don't disagree with you, david, but they can already do it. i don't know why that's being lost in this. >> let's be happy with that. >> that's got to be the last word sglfrnl word. >>> it seems like many in the media are reporting more speculation than facts when it comes to the malaysian airline story. "cashin' in" reports you decide. first, are markets holding steady in the faces of very serious worries. get the no-fear stocks leading the way.

coverage. >> speaking of obamacare, we knew this was coming. we knew there would be delay. they asked kathleen sebelius about it a couple of weeks ago. she said no there is not going to be a delay. the white house later today will announce another delay and here is how it works. they're going to say there are so many people who have tried to sign on and have been unable. if you go to healthcare.gov and check the blue button you will get an extension. what the extension means is i tried to sign up but couldn't finish the job. >> they got a phone call, unexpected guests, car had a flat tire? >> first of all, it is going to be the honor system. they're not going toç ask. government is not going to ask. just say you need extra time and they'll give it to you. >> can we do that with taxes? >> exactly. honor roll for the i.r.s.? that would be great. the other thing is the extension, how long is it? they don't know. it could be a month, it could be a week, it could be forever. this is -- we saw it coming. >> if they don't get it done by march 31, th

just not obamacare. an house had passed amendment to the resolution that would strip obamacare in the funding bill. a monster named harry reid is stripped the amendment from of is how theich democrats were able to lie successfully about ted cruz and the tea party. ted cruz conducted a one-man filibuster. cave in ofarded as a most of his republican colleagues who voted to join the resolution with obamacare as part of it. the republicans attack each other instead of the real culprits. you might ask yourself this question -- what would've happened if the republican part and tea party and the koch brothers had funded a campaign to put the blame on reid and obama where it belonged? it was no such campaign. all of the parties failed to take the fight to the enemy camp. example ofanother the firing squad that we on the right are so good at and continually sets us back. thatond important point applies to all of the friction between tea party and republican. the conflict within the right about obama shut down was

they don't like obamacare. but what the debacle shows is that he is into this message about obama and democrats and the government not running properly. and if the government is not functioning properly and you're the people in power, it is just not going to work out well. not really --. >> he literally said it on the first day he has to restore faith in government. it didn't work with the stimulus or "cash for clunkers." this is not working with obamacare. >> you know what is so interesting about your show, sean, usually the music gets louder, we go into break, you reach for the football. >> by the way, how prepared is the guy? look at the pages. this is a man that loves to do my work. >> you have that in the morning, you tied it under your couch. not allowed to have sports equipment -- >> that is what happens. >> it is 10:00 at night. people are drinking at this time of the night. >> we're drink not guiling in t morning, hate to tell you. >> all right, coming up, we'll have more on the great american panel an

and knowing the fact that president obama lied for years about obamacare. look, here's the deal. what they don't want us to know about is the fact that less healthy people are signing up than they said would sign up, which is going to raise the cost pool of obamacare and raise the cost to taxpayers. they were counting on them to lower the overall cost and that's not happening. >> now, they don't even ask when people sign up for obamacare, they're not even asking if you were insured before. >> it is complicated, that's for sure. there are younger people signing up. the health insurance companies who people are buying these policies from have been reporting on their earnings that the number of people signing up are younger than they thought they would be. so that's a good sign. the government just said last week that 9 million people are eligible for medicaid. that's despite the fact that a lot of the red states decided -- >> it's not what it's about. it's about private insurance. for this thing to work, they're going to have to have 40% of the new ones be young and healthy. >> get

let's get to obamacare. claiming that because of obamacare's much higher cost for insurance there rages will be cut by up to $5 an hour. last hour, we had scott garrett on the show. listen to what he said about his experience with obamacare. >> members of congress have to be in obamacare. a couple weeks ago, i got my first statement. my premiums did not go down by $2500, they have got up by $2500. stuart: we are joined by townhall editor. there are countless episodes going on here about what i think is being a collapsible, care. we also have ted cruz saying we will repeal it. we can repeal it. i do not think you can cover quite frankly. it just will not happen. >> i think that democrats will have a really hard time. you have the unions now complaining. you have last summer, the teamsters and partnership with other unions. we elected you, fix this problem. this will kill the middle-class. we have democrats in the president claiming to be advocates for the middlebut at e time advocating obamacare which strips

and therefore i think obamacare is dead. >> i think obamacare is a house of cards that is collapsing as it is being built. the trouble is that as it is being built and as it is collapsing at the same time, it's injuring people and it's having an adverse impact on the economy and you cannot get straight answers from this administration which is why you need a special inspector general that has the breadth and capacity to go from one department to the other department to put all of the pieces together to find out what is what. >> all right. election year stuff, politico is out tonight. g.o.p. health plan could be rchl ode to nowhere and they are saying that the republicans can't get it together. they are not even going to have a vote in the house. yes, mr. mccarthy is trying to develop something. eric cantor is responsible but it's not happening and therefore, it won't be a force in this election. what say you? >> i think that there's going to be an alternative health care element debated during the debate on obamacare dave camp offered the substitute that got shun away. so, look, we h

last minute push for obamacare enroll deadline. march 31 is the last day you can sign up to avoid the penalty. the obama administration is unleashing planned parenthood to help out in the mad scramble to help out before then. they are holding enrollment drives in 18 cities across eight states. a total of 500 different community events and outreach by planned parenthood as they try to get potential enrollees at everything from soccer games and grocery stores. stuart varney joins us, from "varney & company" on the fox business network to join us on the latest marketing plan essentially, stuart. >> you have 20 days left to the deadline and the administration is desperate to sign up far more people, more young people and especially more paying customers. the most public thrust for this sign-up campaign will indeed come from planned parenthood. those eight states, i will go through them in a second but they are regarded as having the greatest health care needs. planned parenthood will flood flood those eight states. arizona, florida, ge

it is okay if he doesn't agree with obamacare. let new jerseyens decide what it is that they can choose. >> thanks for standing up. great work. politics nation with reverend al sharpton starts now. >>> thanks for tuning in. tonight's lead march madness at the white house. it has become a presidential tradition. president obama took a few minutes this week to fill out his ncaa bracket. >> i have michigan state going all the way. been a while since. my pick michigan state, bring it home for me. it has been a while since i have won my pool. >> the president is looking for a slam dunk on his brackets and on his health care law. with just 12 days left to enroll he is playing off the tournament to get as many americans insured as possible. the white house wants people to vote on the 16 sweetest reasons to get covered. tomorrow president obama will visit the ellen degeneres show. it's another chance to push the law and maybe show off some dance moves. these efforts to get more people covered are working. in the first month of enrollment

you can have 800 votes to repeal obamacare. find the parts that don't work, fix it, pass it in the house and then force mary landrieu and kay hagan and mark pryor and other running for re-election force them to vote no and turn that into your spectacle. not another meaningless vote on the floor of the house. pass it. then get it over to the senate. and then make those democrats sit on their hands and explain to constituents at home why they don't want to fix obamacare. not defund, repeal and do all of the things that will help you win straw polls at events. actually, do it. al hunt, i think "wall street journal" is dead on again. i don't agree with them on everything. i know you don't either, but pretty sage advice to the republican base. >> joe, when i was in the "wall street journal" before you were born i adored "wall street journal" and i announce it's turned into a political strategi strategist. i'm not sure that we ought to worship the older of editorial pages. >> let me just say. >> well, i'm deeply offended by that. >>

, because obamacare fills the doughnut hall. there are a lot of kids thrown off their parents' policies, you know, people, young adults, basically up to age 26, they just haven't sold all the parts of obamacare that benefit an awful lot of other people. >> you know, you raise a really good point, e.j., because we've been talking about the president's appearance with zach galifianakis and so many more resources getting people to enroll as opposed to telling them about the good stuff they've already gotten. >> right. well, they've got about three weeks to meet this enrollment deadline, so they probably will throw a lot at enrollment and a lot at trying to get young people to sign up. but, you know, the case for obamacare has never been well made from the very beginning, and i think this race says that if a lot of ads, some of them misleading, go on the air attacking obamacare, and there isn't some underlying case out there where people say, yeah, i saw that ad, but here's what i get out of it, i think a lot of these candidates in

and obamacare cuts medicare. obamacare takes medicare advantage. >> it favors the insurance companies. >> that's a big issue in florida with the demographics. >> victory is the lens through which people perceive positives and defeat is the negative. the reality is walton, in charge of the 2004 campaigns in the congress, said, of the special election, they have to galvanize their bases. they have to go forward. this is not a referendum on obamacare, so much as it is dictated by the districts. after he wins, it's a referendum. we can't overplay what's going on here. but the populism, and the tea leaves, they have commandeered populism better than the democrats have because of what goes on. >> you can't underestimate the importance of medicare in the state of florida. and when in the state of florida. >> but medicaid, you can't underestimate. medicaid in louisiana right now, bobby jindal is suing moveon for putting up billboards for saying that bobby jindal will take away your medicare. if the democrats could expose

obamacare is the big thing for them. >> is that true? >> answer not true. here's what actual enrollments look like according to acasignups.net. signups continue to spike. this graph includes enrollments through the exchanges plus the medicaid expansion plus people under 26 years old staying on their parents' coverage. health care exchange enrollments passed the 5 million mark yesterday according to the centers for medicare and medicaid services. so the revised goal of 6 million signups appears to be within reach, in line with the cbo's projection, by the way. whether or not it hits the 6 million mark by the end of the month, insiders say obamacare has cleared the bar. the caveat that real examination will come on a state-by-state level. officials agree this week that enough americans signed up to private health plans under the affordable care act, that if will work. joining me now, ovik roy, opinion editor at "forbes." author of "how medicaid fails the poor." jonathan cohen. all right, o vick, you've been someone very critical of the aca from the beginning.
