I serve as one of the vice chairs for Medicare for All caucus in Congress. So we'll continue to push that. When I got to Congress, I think we had like 90 members that were signers and I think we're at 160 or more now. We had four hearings my first year there. And so we continue to grow and have the American people understand that this is a popular issue. (1:02:21–1:02:30)
