The reports are in and, sadly, not only does this health care scheme cost the American people more than it provides and increases the cost of health care, but at the same time, it exempts anyone illegally in this country from having to be taxed or to buy insurance. Everyone else who is legal in the country is required to buy the insurance or be taxed. So illegal immigrants are now exempt from the responsibility; but because the majority refused to put in the E-verification, the SERVE verification to make sure that illegals don't get into the benefit package, we have created a situation where illegals now are not required to pay, but they are guaranteed, because of a lack of verification, that they have access to the system. Sadly, Mr. Speaker, the fact is Joe Wilson was right: illegals do have access into a system that the President and Congress promised the American people would not be available.

Mr. Bunker, I think you and everybody else that's required to enforce either a law or regulation understands that when the Legislature passes a law, there's always the assumption of discretionary enforcement.
