So in a 2,733-page bill, if we have 121 pages of regulation for every 2 pages, that is going to be pretty interesting, isn't it? And the fun has just begun. If you do have health insurance, we'll make sure that your insurance is more affordable and more secure. We know that is not true from every estimate. It is neither affordable nor secure. If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. This is not some government takeover. . . . I don't want government bureaucrats meddling in your health care. . . . That's what reform is about. So now they have taken 2 pages of a 2,733-page bill, and that is 121 pages of regulation. Now, isn't it true, I would ask my colleague from Wyoming, who knows as much or more about this than anyone, that it will result in 50 percent of all employees being in plans ineligible for grandfathered status? Is that a correct statement?
