This Morning White House officials hear new users will crash the website this weekend. The administration was promised the website would be fixed this weekend. The Health Care Law faces another challenge. The Supreme Court is agreeing to take up two cases involving companies refusing contraception based on religious belief. Good morning to you and those in the west. For months, the Supreme Court has been trying to defend and get the administration up and running. Now another battle in the Supreme Court that could scale back what he was trying to accomplish with that law in the first place. Its the next fight over the Health Care Reform law. Can the federal Government ForceBusiness Owners to provide Insurance Coverage that violates their religious believes. Thats plain and simple. President of a family owned Manufacturing Business says no. Hes looking to the Supreme Court to rule that employers who oppose abortion shouldnt have to offer insurance for all contraceptives like the morning after pill. Whats never been required of businesses in the history of our country is a strong infringement upon our ability to live our faith. It was just over a year ago the Supreme Court nearly upheld a provision at heart of the law. The requirement that all americans buy insurance or pay a penalty. Now the court will take up a more emotional challenge. Its been brewing across the country as dozens of employers identified lawsuits objecting to the Birth Control requirement in obama care as violating religious freedom. Womens Rights Groups say its about pe equality and reproductive freedom. If you allow employers to refuse to cover things they dontlike, that would open the door to almost anything. Diana of colorado says four profit corporations dont have religious rights. The law exempts religious groups and organizations from the same requirements, but businesses are different. These are for profit organizations. They should have to give Health Insurance for Health EmployeesHealth Care Concerns not the employers judgment. Theyre going to provide Birth Control pills but those those contraceptives like the morning after pill. All this comes as Many Americans are feeling forced into this law. Now religious employers say the law is forcing them to violate their deeply held believes. Jeff and norah. Thank you. Police in moscow say a road found homemade bombs and other weapons inside the apartment. Officers i did taned more than a dozen members of the illegal islamist organization. The Winter Olympics in sochi starts in three months. The people belong to a militant group that was banned months ago. House prices rose in the fastest rate in more than seven years. There are signs the market may be cooling. Jill is here. Good morning. Good morning. What does this report tell us . Home prices are up 13. 3 from a year ago. Thats a big, big jump. When we look into the internals of reports, house prices back to 2004 level, thats good. We were back in 2000s for a while. Prices are 20 below the peak. We have a long way to go nationally to get the prices back up. Why up so fast . In the last year, Something Interesting happened. Number one, there was not that much inventory, not that many homes for sale. When you dont have that much inventory and people are buying, pushes prices up. A lot of people pulled money together and said let me gobble up houses, thats a good deal. That has pushed prices way faster than experts expected. Do you expect them to continue to rise . Absolutely not. Theyre going to rise but at a slower pace. Thats good news. When you have huge price increases it pushes out first time home buyers. We want the base to be 79 . That would be great. Double digit price increases is not a healthy market. Nevada up 25 , california 22 . Those are some areas that were hardest hit. Thats exactly right. We look at areas and say these are huge increases thats great. Its great from the bottom. Theyre still well below their peak prices. Peak prices were phony right. A long way to go. Even if you look at cities. San francisco up by 53 from the bottom. Detroit though not so much. Its up because a lot of speculators went in to buy property. Rates were low, went back up a bit and where do we go next . Four and a quarter for a 30 year fixed rate. You will see Mortgage Rates creep up. These are still low rates historically speaking. Dont freak out. Its still a great time to buy a house. And in some markets a good time to sell a house. Price yourself accordingly. Run your numbers. Do not buy unless you understand the impact on your own financial situation. Jill, thank you. Happy thanksgiving to you. Happy thanksgiving. Pope francis is laying out priority this is morning. The first non european pope in a thousand years wants big changes in the catholic church. Allen is in rome. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. An 85 page document essentially his Mission Statement of what kind of church he wants it to be. In the words of the document, thats the church thats bruised, hurting and dirty, because it has been out on the streets. Concern for the poor has been a benchmark of francis since day one. He said this was the new ideology of money and described rich and poor as ideologies that defend and marketplace and financial speculation. I beg the lord to grant us more poll situations who are disturbed by the state of society, the people and poor. The joy of the gospel, instructions philosophy and add what he calls great Emotional Intelligence. Be a church of joy. Dont go to events as if youre going to a funeral. You have to exemplify the joy of the gospel. Hes good at that. He has that Emotional Intelligence that leaders around the world want. The pope is as close to an absolute ruler as possible to be. Francis said he was open to suggestions about how to change the nature. Included in that is a greater role for women. That wont be as radical as the other changes called for. The issue of women priest the pope wrote is not a question open to discussion. Nonetheless, the pope has made it clear major changes are on the way at every level. Theyre going to be done in the style he sets with every word he utters and writes. Jeff and norah. Allen, thank you.
