We are only talking about FDA drugs, and more importantly than that, you are correct. There are only, as I am told, about 600 facilities in the world that can produce FDA-approved drugs, and so that is the only drugs that we would permit, and we believe that a program can be established very easily using modern technology so that we can be as certain that these drugs are, in fact, Coumadin or Glucophage from an FDA-approved facility. We can be just as assured of that even if we get the drugs from Geneva, Switzerland, or from right down the street. We want safe drugs. We want seniors to be safe. And I think we have the plan that will do that.
