Thank you, senator. From my perspective, having joined as a correctional officer in 1988 and around that time the bureaus population was a little more than 60,000. I think historically when you book at the bureau of prisons and go back from 1940 to 1980, the bureaus population pretty much remained flat for many, many years in excess of 20,000. So in 1980, which is the primary target for this discussion, we, as an agency, we had approximately 24,000 inmates in the federal system. We had less than 9,000 employees, 41 institutions and able to operate the entour bur en tour bureau of prisons for 330 million. So when you look at the increase from 1980 to 2013, we were at more than 800 as far as the growth of the population. And our staffing didnt keep pace with that growth. And with our mission, where we are tasked with anyone and everyone who is convicted and turned over to the department of justice and placed in the care of the bureau of prisons, we have a job to do, a significant job. An

Changes what help what people would receive from the federal government to pay for insurance. Its unclear how the 5 million americans who got insurance through obamacare will be affected or how much the new proposal would even cost. For a california perspective, im joined now by california insurance commissioner dave jones, who is also running for state attorney general. Commissioner jones, thank you for being here. My pleasure. How would california be affected by the gop bill . There are a number of negative aspects to trump care. First, as you mentioned, weve added 5 Million People to the insurance rolls in california, thanks to the Affordable Care act. All of their Health Insurance is at risk. The gop bill would ultimately eliminate the Medicaid Expansion cohort, thats about 4. 1 Million People, as for the 1. 4 Million People in our exchange, 90 of them rely on a premium tax credit subsidy and the gop proposal cuts that dramatically. I think its fair to say all 5 million are at risk
