“Exactly. As those other services roll out, they will affect not only the Medicare portion of the health care system, but they will also affect the general population and should, because of the availability of insurance and the availability of the ability therefore get to a doctor, to get the continuation of care, should bring down the overall inflation rate for health care, which will dramatically affect Medicare, as well. What we are on is a track that is reducing what they call ``bending the inflation curve.'' It's happening. Here's the most dramatic chart that I've seen on this issue, that we are, in fact, bending the cost curve. And perhaps even more important, senior citizens are healthier. They're healthier. They're getting better care. They're getting more care.”
