But also to the american people. Secondly, productivity. Productivity is critically important to us. We measure value units, which is a common measurement in the medical industry. It is a measure of productivity. Our productivity is up 8 over the last year, versus a budget increase of 2. 8 . I am asking for ways to improve our productivity every day. There is no question that demand is increasing for our services. I do not feel capable of going to congress and asking for more money, unless i can show them that we are trying to save money.
