If I could interrupt the gentlewoman from Texas again, we had a perfect example of this, of course, with the drive-through deliveries for pregnant moms, where it had gotten to the point where many of the women, when they went to the hospital, actually had to leave within 24 hours. It did not matter whether or not the physician thought that was appropriate or whether the women felt that it was not appropriate, the health insurance company said that is it. She is there for 24 hours. I think it was 2 days for C-section. Again, I think that was a perfect example.
