Essentially it is a lie, because it is not the truth, because they are saying that the main goal here is to save money. There is no reason to believe that. But I just go back to what my colleague from Maine said. The purpose of all this is to get people used to privatization, and not used to a government program like Medicare. And I am beginning to believe, maybe I am too optimistic, that when people see how lousy the private sector is, if this is an example of it, they are not going to want it and they are going to reject it. That is the only positive thing I can see coming out of this.
