Thank you very much for those very, very kind and undeserved words. Ten years or 15 years ago, 80% of the doctors in our country were independent and 20% were corporate.

Site neutrality, which we're fixing is key to that. The wage Area index, reforming the PBMs, that is one of the most anti competitive forces out there. And we're doing that. (2:13:01–2:13:14)
