We want to provide this benefit to your citizens in Nevada, so even though that same criticism was leveled at Nevada, the private sector will not participate. They do not like this plan. We found at least there that that criticism was not warranted, and Nevada now has the luxury of choosing from among five different bids from the private sector to manage their prescription drug benefit in their State. I predict, if our bill were to become law, we would experience the same thing. The private sector would step up to the plate and seniors would have multiple choices of plans as we have described.
