If I may continue with questions, when the Senator is saying this shifts money to HMOs and to insurance companies, I assume-- at least my understanding of HMOs is--you don't choose your own doctor. We are talking about seniors who now can go anywhere. I know in Michigan, they can go from the Upper Peninsula over to Detroit over to the west coast and the cost is the same. They can choose their doctor and go to the hospital they want. Madam President, is it true that what Senator Reed is talking about will take away people's ability to choose their own doctor and hospital?
