Now, in addition to the customer's copay we've just done, there's a federal government copay, maybe $17. That's the best I can tell from the lawsuit on every prescription filled. So that means A $3 prescription... can earn express fees, $31, a $14 copay from the customer from our service member, and then a $17 administrative fee from the federal government. Express Scripts is supposed to save money for DoD, but it appears to me, I mean, we just worked the example here, and that's what your own data show, is that it costs more. (04:02–04:24)
