I took care of my mother with Alzheimer's the last 2 years of her life. And I would say that for CMS to deny coverage of a medication that has been shown and approved by the FDA that could benefit those with Alzheimer's, I think there, you know, we can--you said that we don't want to cut spending in Medicare because we want to provide people access to care. And I would say we can ration care, and that is another name for cutting spending.
