If the gentleman will recall in May and June of this year, six groups met down at the White House. It was a great photo-op. My AMA was there. The Hospital Association was there; PhRMA showed up; AdvaMed, the people who make medical devices; AHIP, America's Health Insurance Plans; and the Service Employees International Union all gathered at the White House. The President came out after this meeting and said that these groups have offered up $2 trillion in savings to the American people in order to get this health care bill done. So I don't know. I wasn't there. I can't get information on these meetings.
