I, too, thank the Senator from Arizona, Mr. Kyl, for bringing this amendment to us. This debate has been framed as though everybody had all of their insurance paid for by the company for which they work. I know that is not the case. Throughout America, most people participate in the cost of their insurance. So it is going to be very important for every individual who has to participate in the cost of their insurance to be searching, with their employer, for a lower cost way of doing it. This is one of those solutions. This is very innovative. It will fill a void we have left by doing the bill, particularly if the estimates are true on how much insurance is going to go up based on this ability to sue. If it goes up dramatically, there are going to be a lot more people who are going to hope there is this kind of an alternative around. So I congratulate the Senator from Arizona for this approach.
