I know you would like to give another speech. My question to you is with insurance reform, you can do some good, 200,000 people may get covered. But there are 39 million. Why not have shared responsibility of employers and employees? That is the way most people, 9 out of 10, have their coverage today. If we adopted your proposal, what assurance do you have that the uninsured will ever really get insurance if they can't afford it?
