Preexisting, and that is if you have a heart problem or cancer, it may be difficult for you to get a job, but if you change jobs with the new insurance plan, both of them take care of that, and that kind of reform where insurance cannot cut you off. The last group is the important people we need to focus on, and that is the people who are too poor to provide for it. They are the working poor. But do we need to revamp the whole system, build a giant bureaucracy where the Government has control over lives? No. We do not. I have a prediction that President Clinton's plan will not pass as it is, but that we are going to see a lot of modifications to it. But I think also that we are going to have in the end a lot of bipartisan support from Republicans and Democrats, and I have got a vision that we will produce a health care plan that will be healthy for this country.
