Well, Mr. Speaker, we have the perfect example in Nevada which, I believe around March or so of this year, passed a plan that is almost exactly the same as what the Republicans in the House proposed. The insurance industry told the Nevada legislature it was not going to work and there was not a single insurance company that wanted to sell a policy that would meet the specifications of what the Nevada legislature passed. So it has been a total failure in Nevada. Basically, what the House Republicans are saying is that they want to adopt a State example that has failed.
