Excuse me, I must be clear. I have been clear that the care credit is an improvement. What I am pointing out is that there is a danger in moving the goalposts. The 40-year threshold is a concern because there is a wider frame. There is a moving of the goalposts in moving to a 40-year period instead of 20. That is a concern and it will mean that potentially not as many will benefit.
