Why November 1st? November 1st is an open enrollment. It's October 9th. Right. So not much time. Not much time. It's when open enrollment starts. That's when Americans, 24 million Americans are going to have to go and decide whether they're going, what plan they're going to buy. If we do not take care of this before November 1, the prices are going to be so high, you're going to see probably 4 million Americans just walk away saying, I can't afford this. (06:26–06:32)
