...If the coding is just really big of an issue as far as being the unexpected part of the final role versus where we were before to cause you to say, "Yes , MA, were not going to be able to grow it and maybe our whole earnings number is at risk for 2014. So that's a quite an involved question, but -- so let me see if I can provide a simpler response and answer. We're very happy with our MA business. We have a very good growth. We have very good products. We have great positioning into the marketplace. It is perhaps affected by contrast to the prior year quarter where we had meaningful reserve development and never anticipated we would ever -- we didn't anticipate it the first quarter of '12 to have that level of reserve development. We certainly didn't expect it to repeat in the first quarter here. So I think the health of our MA business is quite robust. Our concern is the forward looking. And that may be an expectation issue because when you take a looklook atat all the elements of -- that have hit the funding experience of the MA program, I think the very significant factor was lieu of that background, starting out with a negative 8% and then basically coming out with a final, which is, in essence, a relatively negative 4%, maybe even a touch higher against the 3% overall trend, strikingly higher than -- So the year before was 1.5% in that zone. That would have been more manageable. So it is really overcoming that funding posture going forward that then begins to cascade through a variety of things. To respond to that, you need to think about benefit adjustments that are more dramatic than what we have typically liked to manage in the marketplace, network adjustments that are more dramatic. And so I think the difference is, I know that some people were relieved that the SGR came through and that focus onon that element. But when you stand back and look at the total funding status of that program, that the down 4%, and that is significant."
