In the one big beautiful bill, we included $50 billion to help our rural hospitals. One of the programs that we've used in North Dakota for our rural hospitals is The Rural Development Program for them to build New facilities and combining that with the critical access reimbursement has enabled us to put first class critical access hospitals out there in rural North Dakota. And they're doing well. They're serving their customers. Tell me they'd rather go to their hospital in their small community than go into the larger communities. It really works. (02:57–03:11)
