A perfect beginning. And one of the reasons that women will be able to afford health care in low-wage jobs is the exchange that will be provided in the health care bill. Women will be able to select from a group of health care plans the best plan that will service them, because, I mean, even if they could afford health care, not all businesses provide health care. Many will be able to after this bill is passed. All right. So a woman gets a catalog of what's available in her area. We call it an exchange. She chooses her plan. And if that plan is more expensive than she can afford, which it probably will be if she's on low wages, then this bill provides subsidies for that person so that the low-wage worker is subsidized. What a difference that will make.
