There is a proposal that is very simple. First, you haven't put your proposed fix to the ACA--the new one, which Leader Thune has spoken about on the floor--so we can't give you a counter in writing. But it is very simple because we have two sentences we would add to any proposal which would extend the ACA benefits for 1 year. That is all. Plain and simple. The leader can put that in his proposal on opening up the government. It doesn't need a vote. It can't be blocked by anybody. It is the right thing to do.
