You know, you have an accident, and people look at the driver's license and say, Who is this woman? She is not 120 pounds. Anyway. And so she was out of luck. She spent the next 9 months looking for health care. Finally--actually it was her Congressman who convinced the insurance company to do it. And by that time, the cancer had progressed and was in her lymph nodes. So she was much sicker. That policy of rescission will end on day one. I see that we've been joined by someone else, Keith Ellison, a Representative from Minnesota. I'm happy to turn it over to you. How time flies.
