If I could just reclaim the time, I know that statistic is accurate. I have seen it many times, but I think a lot of times people do not realize, because of the fact that so much research has been done and all these miracle drugs have been created, and it is all great, it is true now that seniors are taking that many drugs, and that is why the costs are so high. Even 5 years ago, the costs were not as high as they are now, and that is why this is such a crisis. I did not mean to interrupt, but I think that statistic is interesting because I am not sure a lot of younger people realize that.
