What's in the New Health Care Law
COSTELLO: This morning, Mitt Romney is counting his cash after his campaign raised about $3.2 million in the hours after the big health care ruling. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the law. Chief Justice John Roberts said the most controversial part, the individual mandate, is valid as a tax, even though it's not valid under the Commerce Clause. The ruling became a rallying cry for both political parties. Democrats praising the president and Republicans vowing to repeal the law. And no matter how you feel about the health care law, there's no escaping it. Even in a Mancos, Colorado, a town so quaint, it feels like it's out of the Wild West. Martin Savidge went there to get reaction to the Supreme Court's decision.</s>MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): News that the Supreme Court's decision arrived about the time that folks sat down for their</s>JEAN ARCHAMBEAULT, EDITOR, MANCOS TIMES: We have snow birds, people who come for the summer and leave for the winter. We have people who have retired here. And we have people who have lived here all their lives.</s>SAVIDGE: A bit about the area politically. It voted 59 percent for John McCain in 2008. Folks say the conservatives were born here. The liberals mostly moved here. Veronica Egan came from New Mexico.</s>VERONICA EGAN, RESIDENT: I think it's wonderful. I think there are problems with the law as it was originally written, but it's about time that the United States of America started taking care of its own citizens.</s>SAVIDGE: Jeff McElwain is as close to a permanent doctor as the town gets. The physician's assistant runs Mancos' only medical facility in the town. Sixty percent to 70 percent of his patients rely on some type of publicly funded health care program, something he finds ironic given the criticism he often hears of Obamacare.</s>JEFF MCELWAIN, MANCOS VALLEY HEALTH CENTER: Well, it's certainly always an interesting conversation for people that are either on Medicare or receive some type of federal assistance to complain about having government health care.</s>SAVIDGE: Patient Betty Romero has health care insurance, but knows many who don't. She is an Obamacare fan.</s>BETTY ROMERO, PATIENT: There are people out there dying of cancer because they don't have health care. They are dying of other things because they can't walk into a doctor's office and get the help they need.</s>SAVIDGE (on camera): It may surprise you, but unlike the rest of the country, the big news here in town isn't the Supreme Court's ruling on health care. Instead, it's that -- wildfires that continue to threaten from just down the road. (voice-over): Still, it's easy to get people here talking about health care, which I did, with Will Stone, who makes wagons for a living.</s>WILL B. STONE, WAGON MAKER: He doesn't need any health insurance.</s>SAVIDGE: He is against Obamacare mainly because of the individual mandate.</s>STONE: That's the biggest burr under my saddle is the mandate. I just don't care for it. I don't like to be told to do anything.</s>SAVIDGE: Matt Lauer owns and runs Fahrenheit Coffee Roasters. Like Will, hHe too is against Obamacare, not because he is against national health care, he just thinks the president's plan is the wrong one.</s>MATT LAUER, OWNER, FAHRENHEIT COFFEE ROASTER: This is a gift to the insurance companies. It won't do anything to assure health care to all in this country. And I think that's the bottom line.</s>SAVIDGE: Mancos may seem like a long way from anywhere, but I found it to really be a microcosm of America, from the mountainous to main street, almost equally divided on the issue of health care.</s>COSTELLO: Martin Savidge reporting. We asked to you talk about on this question. The question of the day, the talk back question, Obamacare: Should we move on or fight anew? We have lots of responses and I'll read some of them after the break.
