I thank the authors of the amendment. I think you have a winner. I would suggest that if anybody is concerned, that you do not extend it at the end of three years. In the balanced budget amendment we made it the law that people had to be able to get the Medigap policy back. So if in the third year we decide the experiment will not work, we can write that into law and see that no one is disadvantaged by losing the Medigap policy.
