Where the seller gets to tell you the price of something and you don't get to discuss it? What kind of capital. But that shows you how rigged the system is. And so we addressed it. We passed a bill so Medicare could negotiate how many drugs? 10, 10 whole drugs. And then that wouldn't go into place for a few years after we did. Shows you that the voices of the people are increasingly squeezed out of their democracy. (39:52–40:02)
