I'm glad that you have called this hearing on mini-meds, because, of course, they have received a lot of attention recently, especially since the passage of the Healthcare Reform Act.
But, they do have the federal requirements, which is going to mean that they have to meet certain standards.
So, a $15-a-week amount, by the employee, could provide a $5,000 maximum coverage.
90 percent of your covered employees, even at the lowest maximum level, don't reach the annual limit.
I certainly appreciate what you have said and agree that we worked hand-in-hand, hand-in-glove, completely together in a bipartisan way.
I am pleased that the President does focus on the need to use the station for this purpose and has extended its capability...
I am very pleased to hear both of you being very clear and very supportive, and that is what we all are looking for to go forward.
Of course, the reason that we were so specific is that we are looking for the reports now on the needs of the station...
