Jay Rockefeller: “We're a fair country, we don't treat people unequally.”

Just as a follow-up to the question of funding which was addressed, CBO actually has come out with an estimate on what all of this would cost. It is not $20 billion; it is in the area of zero up to $10 billion over that period of 4 years.

Thank you very much.

one of the things that happened with the CBO scoring was that yes, there was a cost because you were keeping CHIP operating, but there was a savings because the children were not transferring into the Affordable Care Act, for example.

I ask unanimous consent to give my remarks while seated at my desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
