Absolutely. Why? We see what to Brooks point. I agree with him. Texas is one of the largest contributors into the system and we're not getting that return. But We've seen governors, Republican governors in states such as New Mexico with Susannah Martinez. We've seen Governor Jan Brewer in Arizona that expanded Medicaid, Medicaid in their state. And we've seen better outcomes, health care outcomes in those states. So we've got a very bad system. In Texas, we don't because we haven't expanded Medicaid. I'm concerned that, you know, our colleagues on the other side of the aisle in Washington haven't come up with a replacement plan. (36:07–36:21)
