Since we are not going to vote on this today and you are sponsoring the amendment, I have heard the arguments made. We want to help these families. And you are providing health care for the families, 125,000 families, I believe I heard you say. I would like to know, health care costs so much per month, so much per year per family. I would love for my colleagues to tell me how much these plans cost so we would have a little better idea of the per-family benefit.
