I have a meeting that I have to get to. I want to summarize this. My friends from Oregon and Michigan can correct me if I am wrong. We are looking at a bill that came from the House and various proposals being introduced in the Senate, which essentially says that we are going to throw over 20 million Americans off of the health insurance they currently have.
