It gives us a timely opportunity to look at that income threshold because we have discussed this at the committee several times. In fact, we said we would possibly have a session on it at some point in the new year. My reading of the income thresholds for medical cards is that they have not been changed in a long time and they are very low. For a single person under 66 years of age, what is the current income threshold for eligibility for a medical card?
