I'm certainly game for that. There's another idea that I prefer, which is a national Medicare buy-in, right, to put Medicare as an option for every single individual and every single business. It's not an easy thing because you'd have to price Medicare into the private sector, but I actually have a piece of legislation to do it. There's other pieces of legislation out there.
