We have cut down on so many medical errors. I know that you being a doctor, you could probably relate to this. The penmanship of the average doctor is quite, some say, arrogant. You can't understand what is written. So electronic medical records would be a clear communications device that would cut down on medical mistakes, pharmaceutical errors, and the like. That is an investment in the future of this country, and also it sets up our entrepreneurs, Congressman Ellison. It sets us up to lead the way as future developing nations see the need to bring that kind of technical expertise to their own health care systems. And so it puts us in a great position in the future, as does the recovery package with respect to energy. Congressman Ellison.
