We don't look at it from a month-to-month cost. We look at in terms of that $33,275 as the cost threshold. Then we see, in terms of the services that the individual would require of a health or social nature, what the cost of those services are and whether it takes you over the top in terms of the threshold. I would posit that if someone had a condition that would cost $33,276, a dollar more, I don't think a visa officer would say, “Okay, that's it. We're done.” There really are costs that are far above the cost threshold.
