Okay, so It's a roughly $450 billion increase in the defense budget, and a permanent extension of the ACA tax credits would have cost 350 billion. I think that's kind of astounding that If we took the money from this one year of proposed defense spending, we could lower healthcare costs and expand access to health insurance for 10 years. I just think it's important to note that, Dr. Swigel, I'd like to ask you, if enacted, what impact would President Trump's proposed FY27 defense budget have on the deficit? (02:07–02:21)
