Senate Republicans highlight this line from Senator Max Baucus's (D-Mont.) floor remarks today:

"Just for a second -- health care reform, whether you use a ten-year number or when you start in 2010 or start in 2014, wherever you start at, so it is still either $1 trillion or it's $2.5 trillion, depending on where you start…"
