I will make one comment regarding the figures as to what it costs to cover children. What we did in committee is agree that there should be outreach, that we do want to ensure that all children that are not currently insured have the opportunity of having such insurance. But there is a lack of precision in the information, and that essentially creates the problem. I think all you have to do is listen to the discussion that we are having here this evening and it shows you that you don't have hard figures on this. But it was agreed upon, in a bipartisan way, that we wanted to develop a program that would assure all children health care with the enactment of this legislation.
