Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well I think that is a good thing, and I'm sure that will also factor into the costs of whatever efforts the government has to take to collect that co-payment. I was just wondering, in the case where the government is unsuccessful in recovering that money, that credit that may be extended to a patient, is it treated as any other type of debt owed to the government whereby if at some time in the future that same person were applying for some other form of government assistance, that that would be denied until such time as that debt was cleared up. I just want to know how strict they are in the recovery process. Thank you.
