I will just conclude by mentioning what a heroic effort our local pharmacies have made in the last few years to try to take care of our seniors and see that they got the medicine they needed at the best possible prices, and the heroic effort that our seniors have made to deal with this very difficult situation. The drug companies will say, ``We need this much profit.'' What we are saying is, we want them to make a profit but they should not make it all off of our senior citizens. We must level the playing field. We must treat our seniors the way that other preferred customers get treated. And this is the right thing to do. It is the fair thing to do. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support H.R. 664.
