I thank the gentleman, Dr. Broun from Georgia. And I still see patients as well when I get a chance, but it's not nearly as often as I'd like. We, being both family physicians, I think we have a special bond. I want to thank the gentleman for his leadership, and certainly he's been a mentor for me, and also a special kind of family practice heart that only we family physicians understand, not just for your patients, but for the work that you do here, and not least of which is for this Republic that I know you love so much. And that, I greatly respect. What I wanted to extend a little bit from our discussion that we're already into is the fact that, you know, we've had a number of these GOP Doctors Caucus Special Orders during the health care debate, and tonight we know the bill is passed. There's nothing we can say tonight that's going to keep it from being passed. The votes have all been counted and it is in law; although, it's not been fully implemented.
