Okay. That, to me, is a fundamental issue. So today, despite spending so much money, 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. And If Trump gets his way and throws another 15 million people off of Medicaid, raise that number to roughly 100 million. Okay. There are estimates out there that when you have that many people uninsured no insurance. And underinsured means high deductibles. Right. So if you got a high deductible, you may be insured.
