Mr. Chairman, I want to deal with the issue of the 50-50 cost sharing we have been hearing about ad nauseam over the last few weeks.
We must recognize that when you were talking about the 1947 agreement providing for the 50-50 sharing, we were talking about hospitalization insurance. If we add all health care and other programs, will my colleague agree that, in the end, it was not at all a 50-50 cost sharing that had been agreed upon, at the beginning, in terms of hospitalization insurance? It was a totally different formula.
It is clear that if we add all the other components, the cost sharing is no longer on a 50-50 basis. I would like to hear my colleague's comments on this point.
