Thanks, beautiful. Great job. Thank you so much. And again for Jeff, his coverage is now going from 34,800 a year to 40,800 a year. $6,000 increase. People who qualify for this are not millionaires. They don't make a million a year. They don't make $250,000. They don't make $150,000 a year. These are just regular people, huh? Jeff does not have a job, and his health care is going up by $6,000 a year. That's the story. (18:27–18:39)
