Diane, does "parents will have the option"  mean that they can get it without
a prescription?   Otherwise, why aren't you billing the insurance companies?
 Surely they reimburse for all of the other prescriptions?

Now that I think of it, they reimburse for in-hospital breakfast lunch and
supper, too, don't they?
