Well, Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the gentleman stating that, but, of course, it works both ways, and the gentleman from Colorado is a former farmer and very successful banker and successful businessman. Of course, we physicians need to understand that we are businessmen and women, but far too few of us do understand that. I will be glad to answer any questions on the medical issues that the gentleman might have, but I am going to ask him some business questions, particularly in regard to the health savings accounts. And he knows a lot about that, having employed a lot of folks. But, yes, I will be happy to respond to any questions the gentleman might have on medical issues.
