Also, I do not know how the senior citizens will be able to make a decision which card to use. They have a Web site and you can go on that Website, and they will give you the different cards and tell you what is covered and what the cost is going to be today, but a lot of seniors are not just taking one drug, too. So they are supposed to look through all these different cards and decide which is the best based on the particular cost for the particular medicine or several medicines at a given time, but there is no guarantee of anything. There is no guarantee that discount is going to be there the next day because it can be changed. My understanding is they have to provide some type of drug like Lipitor, but they do not need to provide Lipitor.
