I cannot speak. I am not a representative for that organization. All I can say is I am sure that that organization would like to see those provisions become law at some point in time, but the recognition is there that on this piece of legislation that will be considered a poison pill. We have broad bipartisan consensus and support for a limited Patient Bill of Rights like is in the Patient Bill of Rights bill, 3605, or Patient Access to Responsible Care Act.
