I think it is common sense. I do not think we really have to provide specific numbers. I guess someone could probably do that for us, but it is just common sense, with years of dialysis and many hospitalizations in between, because dialysis is not easy to go through, versus providing medication that can control the problem. Those of us who practice know how hard it is to make sure your patient has a month's supply of all of the medication they need. We try to piece samples together and do all kinds of creative things, even with medicines that are not extremely expensive, but it is just not possible to do that in the long run.
