I thank the gentleman very much. I think the question to the gentleman from Michigan, and the gentleman's comments from Iowa, is the question of good medicine, and additional tests may, frankly, just be good medicine. Maybe, Mr. Chair, Mr. Conyers would agree that we should gather about insurance reform and capping premiums so that we can help our doctors. And I would assure you that they would be very happy on that. But to the gentleman's point, I'm sorry to say he was incorrect, because we note that there are almost 20 States that have a variety of noncaps on certain aspects, and now the Federal intrusion will come in and now tell them where they do not have caps, that they have to have caps. In fact, he is incorrect, and this bill does skew the medical service or medical treatment in our States.
