The witnesses are very welcome to the committee and I thank them for their papers and giving us the benefit of their expertise. My first question is for both witnesses. Dr. Mahony said that about one third of hospitals do not provide a certain type of screening. Is the eighth amendment any influencer on that or is that just related to how we deliver health care?
