i dot disagree with you that because it's a piecemeal approach is a political nightmare. >> you know, when we talk about how this impacts the economy, there is a piece of this that people are not thinking about. i happen to sit on the board of directors of a midge or corporation, we have about 100,000 employees. i just got a briefing on what this implementation is going to do to us in 2011 and 2014 as it becomes effective. the fact is, it's can go to cost literally millions of dollars to corporations not to provide health care, but to do the changes in their computer systems. to have the reporting of the w-2s that are required. to get information from employees. in our case we have a lot of unions, the employee, the unions are providers of health insurance we have tutwork out a system to get information from them. those millions of dollars are money that could be spent hiring people and expanding our businesses but instead -- >> in a sense you have -- paperwork, but somebody's got to run the computer, won't that create some jobs, some clerk jobs, some hi-tech computer networking jobs?

they're complicated of piecemeal aspect is a tragedy. >> i still think that the economy is going to be the biggest problem. >> health care will weigh on people's finances. they don't know how it's going to work out. >> but first of all we all agree that the number one issue is economy, economy, economy. we were able to get this interview with hhs secretary sebelius we wanted to end the first changes went in to affect this week. we want to stick to the -- stick to the health care reform. but congresswoman norton, you were part of it, isn't it foreseeable that every time a government puts a mandate it's going to cost more on health insurance companies, they're going to come back and raise rates? >> can you ever -- you know it's kind of like, fixing holes in a dam. can you ever fix the dam? >> what is foreseeable is insurance companies take advantage whenever they can. this bill has a lot in it. that -- now the problem with the child care part of it is one that i am not onesimo that at the time particular with. the reason this bill works is for the first time united states of america all

when we start dismantling things piecemeal like this, nothing works very well. and it is costing us money we cannot afford and denying care to the people who desperately needed. i you very much. -- signs you very much. -- thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. >> thank you very much for allowing me to speak. i have written a speech, and i do not know how much i want to give of it. i guess i will tell you a little bit about my previous history in regard to my psychology and in regard to my difficulties. 40 years ago, i came from iowa city in the ph.d. program in trauma and wound up almost immediately in mental hospital in san francisco unable to read, write, tight, or talk. since then, as you can imagine, it has been a very long, little by little climbing -- let's call it jacob's-ladders. i do not mean to demean the intensive this of the site gets a profession in terms of their possibly being a disconnect between the psyche and spirit. i'm sure that is not the case, but in any case, what i have to talk about right now is -- first of all, it is an e-mail th

, i would think that both parties would want all permits to be aggregated and rather than having piecemeal both in terms of a jurisdiction request and that this should not be rescinded. >> i agree. >> i don't agree. the parties are here, now go kart to imagine. it is hard to to imagine. it is -- it is hard to imagine. the parties are here and i don't even know if this would be a matter of convenience to decide that we would aggregate them. there are some real issues involved in the jurisdiction request that we should here since the parties are here. >> is there anything in writing that you can give? >> the president is suggesting that you write something tonight. >> i'd tend to agree. >> i'm a little confused because when i went to the appeals board i was told i should hold on because there is a permanent in the process and i can appeal this because this revises the original permit. i have been patient. i have gone online everyday and i have gone to the staff on an everyday basis. the permit was still there. much of what i plan to say is that the plans as originally submitted are insuffici

significantly costly to the landlord by moving the tenants around and doing parts of the building piecemeal. yes, everything is possible for an enormous amount of money. but the statute was not meant to say -- >> wait a minute. you are going off of what i am trying to get you to address. >> ok. >> i guess the first thing i want you to say absolutely it is reasonable that these people bring this matter before this board because there are direct conflict in two submissions by the same party. the submissions are in direct conflict with one another, and in such a way that they totally confuse the tenants as to what their future is and how this is going to affect them. >> far as this is concerned, the intention of the landlord is to do the safest, economically reasonable procedure to get this work done to keep the tenants out of harm's way -- >> i am not questioning his motorsives for having them move or not move. i am asking you again. please address the fact that you agree it is reasonable that they are here because there are two submissions that are in direct conflict with one another, and th

the problem with the laws in california are that they are very piecemeal. they were written over a long stretch of time. they do not really interact with each other very well, and did not do as much -- i feel like i am being so negative, so i'm going to try to think of something positive. they do sell certain people. a major problem we have is that for people who have gone to prison in california, for this cases for which they were sentenced, the only remedy is something called a certificate of rehabilitation, which is so far from expunge meant -- it is a gold star on your criminal record that you get to take around and show people. that would be my dream to work on that. the other option is pardon, and i think governor schwarzenegger has printed six, and not to my clients. >> nor mine. i want to return to dr. richard s. i think a cut you off, and you were giving us a real perspective on the impact criminal history has on a person's life, and a one to give you back your time. >> i appreciate the legislation and the work that you do any work you are doing, b

we're piecemealing in hud funding.t costs us 100 to $200,000 a year, which is kind of a shoe string budget. >> reporter: that investment meanthat matthew and his brother, joshua, are learning a trade and goin to school. one of the neighbors in marin city says the project has changed thin dramatically. >> at night before it used to be really noisy. now throug the nighttime it'smo. >> the gun shots have ceased. the loud activity has gone down in this area. the mo people we get out to work, then the less people we have hanging out. >> it means that young men, younblack men will have a chance to get outn the world and be successful. >> they're helping me with housing. they're helping me stay focused on taking care of business. >> if i was able t come out here and do work for the community, then maybe i'll be able to influence others w want to participate. >> reporter: cheryl jennings, abc 7 news. >> coming up, ready to be wowed? when "assignme 7" continues, e hottest topics on the internet and how to find the instantly. an

megyn: and this show we've been covering piecemeal the leaks that have been coming out of the departmentf homeland security and ice in particular on sort of this bit by bit, sort of death by a thousand cuts of whatever you want to call it, amnesty or making it tougher to arrest or convict or deport illegals. >> they are effectively giving aamnesty to those they will not prosecute. there are two ways to go about it, either remove them lawfully from any status where there would be enforcement or prosecution. they have decided they will not enforce the law. megyn: i don't have it open, but they keep pointing out immigration does, department of homeland security, they say they are deporting more illegals right now and more have been deported under this administration than at any time in the past. and so they really believe that critics like you are not looking at the big picturement. megyn: right. well -- >> right, well i'm looking at the picture that is presented. one, we are watching cases be thrown out of immigration courts all over the country by the thousands. and this administration do

this would be piecemealing it out of existence. the other thing we would do is let the states do what they are doing, filing suit, and let the supreme court decide on amendments 8, 9, and 10 of the constitution to get it out of the way. yesterday, i was in a debate or forum with mr. lamontagne, and they were talking about keeping the laws. a person has the right to sue anytime, anywhere that a one for any purpose, and that is the attorney that we will be sending to washington, and he thinks it is ok for us to sue. where is personal responsibility in this nation? >> thank you. mr. bender? >> this is a disaster, and i will do the impossible to defund it, and hopefully, what we have a new president, to repeal it. to lower the cost of health care for all americans, to extend coverage to all americans, but this bill does neither of those two things. when it really does is extend government control over all of our lives from cradle to grave korean anything this long cannot possibly make sense. this bill is loaded with new taxes, new regu

ban, the ban on lifetime caps, but right now, since the health care reform law is being instituted piecemeal, the biggest parts go-go into effect until 2014, when you're seeing is some effects that are not so good, which is if the government forces insurers to offer more extensive polices, then prices are going up. so you're seeing actual premiums going up, instead of down, as the government -- >> bill: but your point is well taken. there was a lot of agreement on some of those provisions that would take place in the next 24 hours. there's one thing we'll get to a bit later and that's the insurance companies, a story out of california, that are already dropping child coverage from their care, or their coverage, because they're afraid of the costs in the long run. we'll get to that a bit later this morning. byron york, thanks, leading our coverage on health care reform in washington. martha: all right, to politics now. she says she is done with national media, at least for now, delaware senate candidate christine o'donnell told fox news' sean hannity she wants to focus now on the voters in de

by trying to address it piecemeal, it is not right thing. then there are groups for strict enforcement of immigration laws, enforcement of immigration laws, saying that this would be slippery if passed. it could lead to other reforms the road that they would oppose. next week senate democrats will try to use a procedural motion to bring up country met as an amendment, and it remains to be seen if there will be the votes to clear that hurdle. host: 202- is the error code for all of our numbers. here are the phone numbers. -- it is the area code -- 202 -- for all of our numbers. sylvia, a democrat, your first. sorry -- ilo, i'm just wanted to say is the person most admire in the senate today. in regards to the treatment, i happen to be cuban-american. i was born in cuba, and came up when castro took over. it was an easy path for me to become an american citizen. that is true of most cuban-born citizens today. unlike to find out the reason why, even though i benefited from that law and policy, why we seem to have special privileges for certain

there are ways to use the president, to nationalize, to try to get his base out that you can maybe piecemealrepublicans from picking up the senate. nationalizing it, it's hard to imagine how that works. >> how it works. >> let's talk about what we just saw. >> mika, i am not a cynical man. >> you're not? >> i pushed back when leslie stall said within a month barack obama would be going to schur ch. here is leslie stahl from a few weeks ago. >> i am ready to make a bet that within the next two months we see the obama family going to church. >> it's something we haven't seen much of. and again, reagan never went to church. we're not knocking it. >> wonderful. >> my family needs to go to church more. >> could it be contrived? is that what she's saying? >> chuck todd, with a debate raging and i think it's a pathetic debate raging over whether barack obama is a christian or not when he says he is, lesley stahl says -- >> her implication would be that it would be for visual. that's what i mean by ntrived. >> yes, he's a christian. talk about yesterday, todd. >> sunday he went to church. if we're t
