Before Election Day the payday millions of Americans are expected to get a piece of the one point three billion dollar health care.

Refund positive lead -- -- Part of the president's health care law was trying to find who gets this money.

-- -- -- But maybe -- anyway.

Because when W bank account this summer.

As for the tax hikes in health care law will they kick in next winner with some estimates -- disaster the November election.

Coincidence.

Mike Huckabee since -- governor joins us and it.

Good planning in terms of the way they structure the little Wylie coyote yeah but I mean the way it works issue -- -- rebate back in and the average person in about a 127 dollars if they are an individual policyholder.

We're talk and three million Americans so it's not a huge check.

They range -- it was only three million Americans.

Yeah -- needed there's not that I'll look at a three million individuals -- get it now some companies will get it and are they don't swing states that are that's at that point.

Now that the biggest.

Rebates we'll go to places like Alaska and there's 23 other states.

Some states it'll be less than a hundred dollars but the average of all about it depends on each state in the waited -- regulated.

Average 127 dollars so it's not gonna probably.

Save anybody's home trying to -- -- by car but it's just tonight so check that you know they'll get courtesy of Barack Obama's obamacare.

And another would you get the good stuff first and that's how this was rolled out number your old yeah it's good standard policy -- Pre existing conditions for those kids recovered then down -- your pre existing divisions -- But then the pain Smart part came later and then an -- that they were part.

Is opposed when he.

Thirteen develop.

That's when he finally got to start Qichen and in terms of of the additional cost a lot of which is because when you start mandating coverage.

And you tell people you have to covered these things well that just changes the actuarial tables on which the insurance policies are designed.

So that means if the risk or higher.

The insurance company has to cover the risks -- higher premiums thus it costs more it's not really complicated and and you know it's not something that requires an economics degree.

Because if you pay more out than you pay again another government gets away -- that insurance companies can't in fact they would be then in trouble with the very government.

That now tell -- what they have to cover.

Well what -- the Supreme Court shoots down only the mandatory.

Converts.

Demanded its.

That doesn't kill -- students -- I think he said in a better or no value really she's done a terrible because Steny.

You know -- on its own would be out him a -- If they did that would all these others she's still stand.

They would that -- because there's they're not tied directly I think that's one of the questions -- -- race in the Supreme Court hearings when I think it will may have been even Kennedy -- races.

That if you leave.

Many of the other provisions it makes it very complicated.

Because the individual mandate.

Is the foundation upon which it all stands it's the funding mechanism and without it.

If you don't have the required pool of people paying in and now you have on all marketplace but a new market model.

It will collapse on itself and it'll be a law all yours dream.

Together but it -- other requirements is still in and the Medicare tax for -- other -- were 200000 more profit out.

Meanwhile that -- and still there right guy and and that won't be affected.

Unless the court decides look this is so convoluted.

I think we all can hope that even the people who like obamacare need to hope.

That they strike the whole thing down.

So that they can come back and design something that has the components they like.

But it's not complicated.

And -- made more cumbersome by the way it's structured now.

When you Americans have this weekend we have Clint Black it's going to be a lot of fun having him and Garry Marshall who gave us some of the best television of America happy days more can Mandy and burning surely.

The deal could the.

Your memory you know he -- he was a producer of that and in particularly on your thing human.

He went on you know is still is probably shouldn't he he he locked in on the royalties for I was -- visiting you can -- -- -- two cents.

I'm all right governor always good -- I guess he's -- on the weekend and who knows what else I keep saying they can and he thought.

-- and meanwhile the TSA could sit.
