I have a strong health proposal, health care plan. It's printed; it's out there. It does not nationalize health care. We've got a lot of criticism about our health care. We still have the best quality health care in the entire world, the best. Otherwise, why do people come here from other countries to get it? And you hear some of these people--somebody told them a few months ago, health care's an issue. So they'll come out trying to emulate some foreign plan. We're not going to have that. We are going to have the kind of plan that I put forward that will keep the quality and still make health care affordable to all through insurance. And people say, ``Well, poor guy doesn't have money to pay for the insurance.'' Then we have the voucher system, where he goes to a central location, name is on there, they have access to privately held, competitive insurance coverage. And that is the answer, not what you've asked about, this national health care plan. And you've got to take a look at the cost, too. And ours is much easier to pay for. Now, I'm getting a signal that we have time--let's say two more. Then I've got a special treat for you. Way back here in the red shirt, yes, sir. Congressional Term Limitations
