Thank you. And to your point, I would just like to refer to this chart right here. As you can see, we have two individuals who are talking about how they're going to pay those taxes, and that checkbook right there, with obviously a nice lady's hand filling out that check. We don't know what it's for, but we all know that feeling. And this actually ran in The Chicago Tribune May 6, 2011. It says, ``Financial planners say they are seeing more women becoming the sole decisionmakers when it comes to the family's finances,'' as you were speaking. ``More and more women are taking on the role of their family's chief financial officer; they set the budget, pay the bills, make the grocery list, and can tell you how much it truly costs to run the family.'' And I believe that the American people, as you do, should be able to know how much it costs to run the country, and we should stick to that budget as well. Thank you so much for your comments. I would now like to yield to my good friend who, the last time we had a Special Order, I just literally watched her because she is a numbers person, and I am always so impressed by that because I am not a numbers person. So thank you to the gentlelady from Kansas. She is, again, just so incredibly smart, and I thank you, Lynn Jenkins, for coming today to help us with this effort.

While I generally support the bills under consideration today by the Subcommittee aimed at improving Medicaid patient access to care, I very much believe there is a missing component in this discussion.

We are ready to close. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I just want to say again thank you to my good friend for allowing me to be a part of this. I know how important it is to her and, again, thousands and thousands…
