Reclaiming my time, I asked if the gentleman would work with me, and apparently the gentleman is saying that he won't work with me, even though this apparently is a very, very small universe, a universe of hospitals that deserve, I think, to have some sort of special consideration because if you have, for example, a government-mandated fire sale, what is the value of the enterprise that you're trying to sell? Yet that is precisely the language that you have in place. So I'm asking you again. Since there are very few of these facilities, in three different States, would you work with us to exempt them totally from the ban that's imposed by this bill?
