But before we go there, the statistics just came out from the Labor Department that the majority of workers in America are now women. If we keep women healthy, then the productivity of America is substantially increased. And in order to stay healthy, women or men, you really need that health insurance that provides for the preventative care. And that is in this legislation that there is an expansion of the preventative care services. For seniors, they will be free. For the rest of the public, the insurance policies will have to offer that preventative care. So if we keep women healthy, the productivity of the Nation is going to increase.
