2 down. One to go. Senate Finance committee must step it up.

Don't let down your guard on E-Verify?

We settle more new immigrants annually, than any other country in the world.

It’s our phone calls that can derail any thoughts of another AMNESTY? Fill their eardrums with public rage not to undermine E-Verify. WE WANT A PERMANENT FOR EVERYONE WHO COLLECTS A PAY CHECK! Today! As never before they are reacting and listening to millions of patriotic Americans and pro-sovereignty groups, in which E-Verify have become a solid foundation to identify and remove foreign labor. Taxpayers money should be spent on infrastructure, our own weak and sick, our veterans who are homeless, our unemployed and those who real immigrants who respect our laws. Until the inception of the Internet, Americans and legal residents had no way of communicating between ourselves. Now we can? Now we should use every means possible to elaborate, that we are well and truly seething, because they are siding with the globalists, money people, open border subversives.

We are not bigots because we love our country and don't want to turn into a third world society. We do not want to live in an OVERPOPULATED, congested land. We have been paying for years--illegal immigrant’s support, instead of the procurers--the businesses that employ them. Our charged voices have set-off a chain reaction amongst the Washington political masses, because we actually turned the tables on the anti-sovereignty, pro-illegal immigration organizations. They are building the original border fence as originally planned, not faulty short-cuts? But we have enemies who have ignored their oath of office and plan to weaken any amendments. As with the 1986 immigration AMNESTY law that was never broken, but disrupted and never enforced. Now they want another AMNESTY or immigration reform package.

It was the politicians who caused the problem of between 13 to 20 million settling here and unable to support themselves. Lawmakers can now stew in their own juices, because we refuse--absolutely refuse, to be sold on another path to citizenship, as it will be yet another higher tax burden on taxpayers. California being just one of many Sanctuary States--that has produced massive budget deficit problems, cause by the huge influx of illegal poor living on state and federal welfare.

Senators and Representatives aides are unhappy with the constant bombardment from millions of Americans, but they are the bridge that must be crossed everyday? No respite, no retreat?

ATTENTION! Because of the massive payments to illegal immigrants in California, their is a petition. Google--TAXPAYER REVOLUTION. Very few newspapers will mention this activist petition. When is the American flag going to fly again in the once Golden state?

So what I gather from this is that this is the total expense side of the equation. But the only way to see the whole picture is to look at the cost savings as well. Do those get calculated and shared?

Where can we find a complete 10 year picture of $1T in expenses, $xB in increased efficiencies, $xB in reduced costs through preventative care, $xB in public plan policy revenues, $xB in savings from nonpaid (emergency) care and finally $sB in increased taxes? In other words, something that resembles a business case.

I really think the $1T pricetag is misleading if you don't get to see the whole picture. And that includes private sector savings as well.

Just a reminder, the CBO and other government assessments are only looking at government spending and/or savings. That's just the way it is set up. There are studies out there about total expenses and savings. Might want to search Ezra Klein's and Paul Krugman's blogs. Here's rough approach though: Private insurers spend 20%+ on administrative costs (including profits paid to shareholders). Medicare and VA costs are 2% or 3%, I believe. So find a number for total costs of private health care and multiply by .20, and that will give you a starting estimate of the savings. [Caveats: 1) not all private health insurers are going to disappear overnight, but if a strong plan goes through, their names will appear below lamplighters and livery stables in time, and 2)savings will be even greater because of efficiencies of scale, larger pools, and the negotiating power of the government to obtain lower costs from providers]

How many of there nonelderly will be children?

This plan costs less than the Iraq War in terms of total cost and elapsed time of cost. Stopping that occupation alone would pay for the plan. Not to mention the savings to the taxpayer in the form of lower costs.

This has to happen. I am proud of the House right now. Nany Pelosi deserves a lot of credit for bringing a high-quality piece of legislation for the Senate's consideration. My hope is that all poison pills presented by Senate amendments will be voted down.
