This particular version--and I think it was left over from a discussion that we were going to have on Tuesday--actually would perhaps force us at the end of the six-year period to lose access to very valuable medical devices because we have not been able to do the safety assessment and to declare that they are equally as effective as the DEHP-containing devices. So this could have unintended negative consequences for health.
