Jay Rockefeller: “Until ICAO reaches an agreement, the EU's program is reasonable, affordable, and it makes sense.”

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.

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.

Domestic violence is a deep national stain that every segment of our society must work to confront, prevent, and end.

Creating this program has been one of the most meaningful things I have done in my career in public service.
