[Harris:] All right. Just moments ago, President Obama deplaning Marine One at Andrews Air Force Base. He will hop aboard Air Force One in just moments. We will see the president in just moments here for his trip to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, for his town hall debate. Really his town hall meeting. It probably will turn into a debate, maybe a little bit more. Scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. And I'm trying to hang on here just to see the president climb off of Marine One. All right. But, once again, that is scheduled to happen, the town hall meeting, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, right here in the NEWSROOM. Maybe we can squeeze the picture a bit. The health care debate is it does seem to divide families who can't seem to agree. CNN's John Roberts talked with the Woodhouse brothers today on "AMERICAN MORNING."
[John Roberts, Cnn Anchor:] Tens of millions of people will lose their health insurance and be forced into a government plan. Where does it say that in any of the plans?
[Dallas Woodhouse, Americans For Prosperity:] You know, John, we are reasonable people that can look at a piece of legislation and look at what the consequences of what that legislation will do. It doesn't have to be written on paper. It wasn't written in the FEMA legislation for them to bundle getting water to thirsty people. The reality is that this plan will incentivize private companies for dropping their insurance. I would ask my brother three questions. Can he guarantee that no company in America will drop private insurance to put people on the public plan? Can he guarantee it won't increase the deficit? And can he guarantee that it won't put the government in charge of rationing health care? He can't say that.
[Roberts:] Let's answer those three questions.
[Brad Woodhouse, Sr. Dnc Adviser:] I can answer all three of those questions. First of all, the president's plan will eliminate the type of rationing the insurance companies are doing now. Remember, the insurance companies ration health care by denying people coverage for pre-existing conditions, dropping people when they get sick. So, the president's plan will say no more of that. Second of all, the CBO said that the president's plan would not result in insurance companies going out of business...
[D. Woodhouse:] After he put the muzzle on them at the White House.
[B. Woodhouse:] All right. I'm answering your questions, Dallas this a public option. And so, we're pedaling more falsehoods here. And this is what...
[Roberts:] OK. And what about the increasing the deficit? The CBO said it would add $239 billion to the deficit.
[B. Woodhouse:] Well, first, the president has said that this has to be he said he won't sign a bill that's not deficit-neutral over the next 10 years. So, he'll depend on the CBO to score whatever the final bill is, and he said he will not sign it if it's not deficit- neutral. So, Dallas, I think I answered all your questions.
[Harris:] We will bring you live coverage of President Obama's health care town hall meeting from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Again, it is set to begin at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and you'll see it right here in the CNN NEWSROOM. It's the new GM. The Detroit automaker began selling Chevys and Buicks and other cars on eBay today. CNN's Stephanie Elam is at the business desk in New York. Stephanie, what if I like to haggle? Can I haggle there at eBay?
[Stephanie Elam, Cnn Business Correspondent:] You, Tony? You like to haggle?
[Harris:] Come on.
[Elam:] I can't even imagine that. No. But, of course, if you're into haggling, you don't want to just pay what they're saying on eBay, you can do that on this new Web site. And it's basically a trial period that they're running with right now. It's a four-week trial period. They're working with 225 dealership throughout California. It's just in the Golden State right now. If you're outside of that area, it's not for you. They're just seeing if this works. They're working with eBay with a new Web site, GM.eBay.com. And you go there and you basically can take look at the Web site and say, I'm looking for this kind of car. And when I say this kind of car, that basically means you can look at Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Pontiac. Those are the kinds that they're selling. Find one. Say, this is what I'm looking for. There's the Web site. And type in your zip code and see what comes up in the area. And you can start looking around, figure out, you know, I want to pay more for this, less for this, what works for you. And if you want, you can just go ahead and buy it now, which means just pay whatever the monthly advertised price is for the car that you're looking at. But the program does begin today. So, for people who are interested in it, this is something that they have until September 8th to take advantage of. In fact, we have a little bit of CEO Fritz Henderson speaking about what makes this program tick. ... this is something that they have until September 8th to take advantage of. In fact, we have a little bit of CEO Fritz Henderson speaking about what makes this program tick. Let's take a listen to that.
[Fritz Henderson, Ceo, General Motors:] Customers will be able to buy actual vehicles just like they do on eBay by choosing the option of a predetermined "buy it now" price or by negotiating online. You can do all your research and price negotiation, as I said, online in the comfort of your own home.
[Elam:] So, obviously, a lot of people like the idea of being able to do that at home. Of course, you know, John Roberts brought this up earlier when we were talking about it. You may want to go to a dealership and actually check out the car first...
[Harris:] You better.
[Elam:] ... and then come back and buy it because, you know, it might be nice to find out you don't like where the cupholder is. But they're saying they'll have a network of 20,000 vehicles to pick from by working as a unit like this, Tony.
[Harris:] Did you just say you may not like where the cupholder is? Is that what you just said?
[Elam:] yes. I was being funny. Maybe something else. Maybe it's the fuel economy, all right?
[Harris:] Just stop it.
[Elam:] You've got to keep it light every now and then, Tony.
[Harris:] Just stop it. All right, Stephanie, appreciate it. Thank you. And once again, we want to remind you check out our "
