Does the Senator know at that time what the so-called crowd-out was? In fact, put it this way: Does the Senator know what percent of people who at that time were on private health insurance who might then have gone to a program the Government offered? Does the Senator have any idea--I am not saying the Senator should know. Does the Senator have any idea what was estimated at that time when we passed that bill what the crowd-out would be?
