I think there is continuing information that is being released that a lot of people may not have known about when the bill was passed, additional facts and figures which are, at a minimum, quite disturbing. The facts and figures that I thought that would be important to talk a little bit about today are the facts and figures that come from the President's own people, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. These are people that the administration has chosen. They are a group of people who are taking a good look at the bill that was proposed and has been passed, what its implications are and some of the financial facts. So this was something that was actually approved by the Obama administration. This was not the House Congressional Budget Office, which is viewed as being fairly bipartisan and has its own numbers. But these facts have just come out recently. We have to assume the President knew them, and the facts are in sharp contradiction, in complete disagreement with statements made by the President himself.
