We've been reporting here tonight the Supreme Court will issue its ruling on Obama -- this Thursday.

The president says he is confident the High Court will uphold obamacare because.

He says it's the right thing to -- quote I'm confident this will be upheld because.

It should be upheld.

But the American people don't agree a new Reuters poll shows 56%.

Of people are against the health care overhaul.

Among independents the number is much higher 73%.

And it's easy to see why public opinion is sell it solidly that is against it.

People who are beginning to realize they were sold a bill of goods none of which is turning out to be true.

As we wait for the justices' decision it's important to remember many of the deceptions and accounting tricks that got us to where we are today are right.

Remember -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying this.

When Democrats were trying to gin up support for the bill's passage.

We have to pass the bill says that you can and then find out what is it hit.

A ways from the salt of the controversy -- Pass the bill -- find out what's in it because we wouldn't read up before -- right well though fog has lifted and we know exactly what senate.

Here -- the main selling points on obamacare number one it would bring down the cost of health care.

The president promised families with save on average 2500 a year on premiums.

We now know that's just not the case according to the Kaiser Family Foundation these are folks -- are highly respected.

Obamacare has already increase the cost of health care.

Even -- what the law hasn't even gone into effect.

Kaiser says six in ten Americans we'll see their premiums go up.

With the average cost for families thirteen hundred dollars a year costs going up not down.

Here's the second big -- you can keep your own insurance and doctor remember this.

If you like your doctor -- you'll be able to keep your doctor period if you like your health care plan.

You'll be -- to keep your health care plan.

Carriers don't want.

Won't take it away and no matter what.

Well wrong again the latest report from the Congressional Budget Office and the joint committee on taxation says.

Up to twenty million Americans -- -- -- million could lose their employer provided health insurance a direct result of obamacare.

The other big -- the price tag the CBO says the health care law will cost one point 76 trillion.

Over a decade pretty big number right and that's double double what the president said it would cost.

-- only off by about 800 billion dollars adding close mom may be for government work we -- even promised obamacare could cut the deficit.

Harry Reid said it would not adding dying to the deficit.

There are many more of course including that no new taxes pledge the Supreme Court decides on Thursday if it's a lot lives or dies until then.

I agree with the vice president Joseph Biden when he said that.

That's just the problem it's big way too big.

The American people can't afford it and they don't want it coming up.
