Reclaiming the few seconds that I can take on this, it is a travesty to our citizens of this country who are going to need and want treatment within our health care system. If they cannot get access to the care that they need, they will be spending a huge amount of money on themselves, which we will more than likely be picking up as a country later on. My brother is just one of many physicians who will fall into that category. I think that it is terrible that we are having to consider this right now, and I hope and pray that somehow it could be fixed.
