As I said earlier, too, this is something that the people of America have clearly said they want. All of the provisions that are included in the Ganske-Dingell-Norwood bill are direct responses to what the people of this country have said they want to see in their health care system. I agree that this is an important beginning, but it is a beginning because we do have to go out and provide insurance coverage because there are 43 or so million people that will not even be touched by what we do here. This is an important part of making sure that health care and quality health care is accessible to the people who are covered within this system and accessible when they need it. We do have other issues.
