Some people say, well, I do not want my mother-in-law buying her prescription drugs on line. You know what? Neither do we. What we want is parallel trading. What we want is our local pharmacists to be able to buy these drugs at 30 to 300 percent less so that our seniors and others can buy them at their local pharmacy and get those kinds of prices. The gentleman talked about this, and I do not think most people understand it, I know a lot of our colleagues, still, this is like alchemy or something, but it happens every day in Europe.
