Federal government kicks in $1.33. That has led to all kinds of distortions. There's a great article in the Wall Street Journal. A father of a 17 year old autistic child can't get home care for 10 years because he's being crowded out by single adults. That should be worked on welfare. Medicaid is just a big giant one. And so you literally are putting at risk the benefits for the people that we want to help both in Medicare and in Medicaid. (09:45–09:54)
