Before you go there, let me just make this point. This is the point to the insurance companies. The day the President signs this bill, your discriminatory practices are over. You will not be able to discriminate against Americans because of their health status, their marital status, whether they are male or female. Those days are over. Listen carefully, health insurance companies. I know why you are spending that hundred million dollars trying to oppose this bill, because you know that the day we pass this legislation, the day this is signed by the President, your discrimination is over and every American is protected. Please go ahead.
