Doctor you can. state exchanges. misinformation that led to its passage. 400,000 people that they said got obama care to get over the 7 million mark. that turns out to be wrong, too. go ahead. >> i think one of the most difficult things about this for the president is that he is still talking and defending this law at a time in his presidency when it has completely overshadowed other priorities that he might have had. things like immigration. things that he could have been doing maybe working ...

These incredibly, ridiculous, stupid statements -- >> stupid why, because theyre truthful? he said they were. >> and hes coming back and the only response hes giving in the hearing is that hes sorry. >> why is he so small now and he looked rather grand in the earlier tapes? >> the thing thats going to matter, hes speaking to the legal point upon which obamacare is currently most threatened. he said in this these speeches that there is no legal wording that allows the states to get subsidies -- i...

That allows the states to get subsidies -- im sorry, the feds to get subsidies, anybody who signed up through the federal exchange. >> and without subsidies, it doesnt work. the supreme court could topple the whole law if they rule that the tax subsidies for billions of people in the federal exchanges are illegal. the white house says the law was written to give tax subsidies to everyone, not just state exchanges. but heres gruber in 2012 making the opposite from the white house case. >> i think...

Subsidies to insurance bout on state-run exchanges. thats really important because what it says, neil, is that the law does not allow subsidies through the federal insurance market, but has to be done through the states. people are confused saying why does the law require it to be done through the states. president obama said its to the a federal insurance program, but run through the states, thats what the law says, and yet the obama administration is trying to -- as you know, state exchanges a...
