And you know, Many Republicans are saying that it doesn't say Medicaid in the bill, therefore they're not cutting Medicaid. Can you help us on that bit of misdirection? Yes. And it has been incredibly frustrating to, you know, hear that framing kind of being thrown out there, the fact that, oh, well, no, it's not. (10:08–10:15)
