Thank you to my kind doctor colleagues on that issue. Dr. Roe, you hit on one of the very important parts, again, which is if you had something that works for you, if a mom was buying health care coverage for her family, she was the one that did the research, she was the one that did the time, she picked the appropriate plan. Maybe it was offered through an employer; maybe it was an individual plan. But she sat down at her kitchen table and decided what was working for her, and guess what, now the Obama administration says no. And I agree with some of the talking heads that are out there on the 24-hour news cycles telling everyone that these plans were subpar, that they weren't adequate. The constituents who are reaching out to me are saying, I liked my plan. I was having my hair done the other day and my hair stylist, Cindy, and her husband, Lee, they have a health care plan. She said, Renee, I don't understand this. I had a health care plan that Lee and I picked. We have had this plan, we like our plan, it is affordable to us, it is providing the health care coverage that we need, and now I am being told that it is not adequate and the cost of my premiums every month are going to go up and my deductible is going up. For what? Well, I will point out to you one of the issues.…
