[ male announcer ] aarp is bringing the conversation on medicare and social security out from behind closed doors in washington. because you've earned a say. . right now the supreme court is hearing arguments on a mandate that requires all of us to buy health insurance. here is my question. do all of you really understand what it means for you and your health coverage? what we've realized by dealing with this story is so many of you still don't understand the law or how it's going to affect you. our dr. sanjay gupta is here. i understand you got hundreds of viewer questions, is that right? >> yeah. lots of people very interested in this. you're right. a lot of people still don't understand the details. it's 2,700 pages long this bill. >> did you read all 2,700 pages? >> twice actually. >> i guess you have to. you're a doctor and journalist. >> and it's intricate. you want to make sure you understand it. >> what we did as a group, we put together some of the questions that we thought, okay, this is perfect. things that were on our mind as well as what you got sent into you. why don't we start with this one. this is a blogger wrote in this one. i keep hearing the new law expands medicaid. why would that be a bad thing? >> it's a good question. medicaid is a joint program with the state's federal government that helps support about 50 million people with health insurance now. you talk about expanding it. raising the income level which people would qualify. that brings more people into the system. the federal government says they will pay for the initial costs, but then it goes to the states to pick up the rest of the costs. that's why part of this lawsuit is happening. it's a bad thing potentially for the states. >> this one from twitter. their daughter was diagnosed with brain disorder. how will repealing the health care law affect pre-existing condition status? >> pre-existing condition issue is a big one. people are looking forward to that. as the supreme court is listening to these arguments, one thing they are going to decide if we do think this mandate is unconstitutional, can we separate that from the rest of the bill? things like pre-existing conditions that can help her. if they can separate it, maybe the law will stay in effect. also is about money. again, bringing money into the system because you're forcing more people to get health care insurance helps pay for people with pre-existing conditions. if more money is not coming in, it may be difficult for it to stay. >> let's do another question from twitter. isn't preventive care supposed to be free? i received a bill last week after my yearly check-up. judge, that was part of this act, as well. to eliminate co-pays and extra fees. unclear why that would happen. there could be two things. one is that people were grandfathered in under the old insurance plans. this took effect september 2010. if insurance is before that, they may not get those fees eliminated. depends how your doctor classifies a visit. it could be a preventive visit, but if classified as a sick visit, that could lead to fees. >> i am a medicare patient and received a check to help pay for my prescription drugs. will i get another one? >> this is the so-called donut hole. the way that works, you pay a certain amount of money for medications. you fall into the hole where you're responsible for all the costs. then you get to the other side of the donut where you can get coverage again. they are trying to shrink that hole. this was a one-time check for $250. next year when people fall into that donut hall, they get 50% off brand name drugs. that helps shrink their costs. >> we talked about the fact you read the 2,700 pages twice and dissected it. >> it changed between the two versions. >> as a doctor, step out of the correspondent role for a moment. as a doctor, what is coming up in your mind over and over again as you're paying attention to the supreme court arguments and also all these questions from our viewers? >> the biggest thing seems to hinge on this mandate. it's a sort of societal question as well as medical question. can you force somebody to buy something? the insurance companies, the reason they are part of this health care reform act because they believe if the mandate takes effect, healthy people will buy health care insurance and that will help them, help the insurance companies pay for everybody else. car insurance is an example, something we are forced to buy. they say that's by states as opposed to federally. my guess is probably it will be held up as constitutional because there are other precedence for this. >> thanks, doc. appreciate it. coming up the next hour, wolf blitzer and ashleigh banfield will hold a special indepth look at the critical questions in the health care case. here it here today at noon eastern. is it a president or cares or political propaganda?

[ major nutrition ] ensure. nutrition in charge! after 12 bloody months, a glimmer of hope of possible peace. talking about syria. the government accepted the peace plan being offered by u.n. arab league envoy kofi annan. shortly after, syrian state tv aired this. that's president bashir al assad walking the streets. they say his forces relentlessly attacked and shelled. opposition activists the say there are no signs of peace anywhere. they say 53 people were killed today alone. ben is monitoring the situation from beirut. what can you tell me about assad's visit? >> reporter: it comes as something of a surprise, kyra. normally the syrian president shied away from those parts of the country where there has been unrest. what we know from opponents of the regime is, in fact, that syrian security forces, they say, were in the area the night before, basically clearing people out and replacing them with people from adjacent neighborhoods that are more friendly to the regime. >> obviously, we thought this was unusual and calculated in many ways. it's interesting what you are saying now, how this was conducted. what about the timing? why would he do this today? >> reporter: certainly, given the situation and given the fact the government has been so harshly criticized for its handling of the uprising, potentially that's one of the reasons why he's there. what we did see in the syrian arab news agency, the official agency of the regime is that he went and told people that law and order and stability must be imposed on the country, but certainly for most syrians, there isn't much law, order or stability at the moment. >> and we continue to see the images. i want to warn our viewers some of these images we just got in are pretty disturbing. while he is saying would be thing, we are seeing this. in particular, the children at this field hospital and the violence we've been talking about today. this is not peaceful at all. >> reporter: those images, very disturbing images is a field hospital where children who live in the neighborhood in homs are being treated. they were injured in an artillery barrage. i hate to say this has become the normal in homs. they are telling us of continued government crackdown of random shelling of civilian areas, of a civilian population that has very little in the way of power, fuel, electricity or even food. in fact, we got video from homs yesterday showing people eating dry, old bread trying to survive. very jarring compared to the message president assad is putting out on his very orchestrated trip to homs. >> this orchestrated trip, the realities that you have just pointed out, we are also seeing the video. how do we talk about the six-point peace plan and how this would be implemented, what is the reaction on this while we see these images and get these mixed messages? >> reporter: the opposition already brushed aside this initiative. what this initiative is is a rehash of the arab league action plan from back in november, which took weeks of negotiations with the syrian government who initially agreed to it, to actually begin its i
