If the Senator will yield for a moment, one of the reasons our cancer cure rates are a third better than England is because we don't have an IPAB and they do. The No. 1 reason survival rates from cancer in England are lower is because treatments are denied by their IPAB for the best treatments, which will save more people's lives at the best price. That is something that should not be discounted. I yield the floor.
