Rules Obamacare News Today

2.0, the most hes going to do with health care at this point, i think the only thing he can get it something close to a few tinkering around the edges because the central parts of it are going to have to be kept politically because thats what the republicans ran on, and the president couldnt get a major change done when he had a republican house and senate. so without the house on board, i dont see where this goes. >> christina, how likely is it that the ruling in texas could increase support fo...
