What has been the progress of the ACO movement among private payers?

The trend is clearly up in terms of private payer engagement. And our latest survey, which will be coming out in another 3 to 4 weeks, will demonstrate how rapid that growth is. We estimate there are probably more, now, private payer ACO contracts than there are actually Medicare.
