I ask this question every year when they come before us. Is there a drug that's introduced this year that has not had NIH support in some way? And the answer always is no. Every drug I think in the last 15 or 20 years that's come to market has had support from our tax dollars through the National Institutes of Health. But we don't get any benefit back out of it. We get the benefit of the drug, but at what they're charging for some of these drugs, we really don't see it. (51:35–51:44)
