Mr. President, I appreciate the comments by both of the leaders on health care from the other side, but you can't have your own facts. You can't show significant changes as being the only thing that eliminates grandfathering. If you look at the Federal Register, page 34,568, the last few paragraphs say: Any increase in a percentage cost-sharing requirement causes a group health plan or health insurance to cease to be a grandfathered health plan. Another part says: Any increase in a fixed-amount, cost-sharing requirement other than a copayment--any increase in a fixed amount copayment. It doesn't say significant changes, it says any change. I yield up to 10 minutes to my friend, the Senator from Wyoming, Senator Barrasso. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
