And this is the problem that I have from day one, there are reasons that people are scared, and it's not coming from my office, is coming from folks who actually talk about the things that I've talked about earlier. When we have reports saying you're going to fire 15% of the doctors at Minneapolis, that's just a lie. Well, but, Mr. Secretary, respectfully, that 15%, 83,000 number came from your people. It did come from my people, but it has no, it has no context to actually firing frontline employees of which I have talked about. (04:54–05:00)
