I mentioned it earlier and I can't emphasize that they want to take $880 billion out of Medicaid. And of course that has an impact on everybody from the cradle to the grave births. 40% of births in this country are on Medicaid.

So there are people, for example, who go to dialysis every day, people of all income since nobody really can afford the cost of dialysis. (09:29–09:33)
