What I am more, equally as concerned about are people in rural America that this cost that you are imposing on us is going to be passed on to the consumer.
I appreciate it. I hope that we can do something, because at $10,000 a year that is after taxes...
This past year we had a 24 percent hike in our premiums and now they are--excuse me.
We are still waiting for that call about it, because we only have one exchange in the state.
We have the seventh highest premium rate in the country.
I don't think there is an incentive for the regulators to hold that down.
I think I am going to address my remarks primarily to Mr. Slavitt, if I could, please.
There are two-thirds of the sites that have been designated, nothing has been done with it.
I think it has a stigma and an effect on other development around it.
Why should we be waiting 20 years before something happens with it or 54 years before something begins?
My hat is off to Pat Ford and the whole group up there but they have got to get it finished.
