I thank the gentleman. I think at the end of the day everybody understands now what's in this bill. And it's not something that's good for our country, it's not good for our people, it's not good for our business climate. It's impacting everybody in a negative way. And I think the only alternative is to replace and repeal it. I think that at some point we are going to be able to do that. And I think it's imperative that now that we have seen what's in it, and again have another report that's come out that shows it's going to cost more than anticipated, this thing is a boondoggle. It's got to be replaced, it's got to be repealed. This can't continue because it's going to lead us over a cliff, as the gentleman from Tennessee has talked about TennCare. The Massachusetts plan continues to go over a cliff as well. We are headed over that cliff with our national health care as well.
