Reclaiming my time, the value of life changes. And another point, a point that I think John Shadegg made very well, is that this policy here--whatever number they attach to it or whatever they might try to do--will have mandates in it. And what it will do is it will require certain health insurance policies to have those mandates covered in there, and it mandates that people buy them or employers provide them. And his case is that that's a tax. I would ask the man who is the judge if he could explain why it's a tax when the government makes someone buy a policy and then takes it out of their taxes if they don't and puts them in debtors prison if they hold back. If you have to buy something, why does that make it a tax?
