The final point is, and what this bill will do as well, is provide competition. I mentioned that a good friend came on the floor and talked about a State where there is only one company. My State--a big State and is soon to gain in population through the Census, Texas-- has three. So this bill, once it passes, will open up the doors of choice for those who have insurance or those with employer-based insurance, because we're not taking away employer-based insurance. I think that we're moving in the right direction, and I hope that this story will be told tomorrow in the right way.
