Rehire people once they retire. What I am hearing is this. 40% of the doctors that were offered a position at the VA have rejected their position at the VA. You're seeing about 1,500 nurses that also have rejected offers from the VA. So that's telling me right now that we're not meeting the demand. We need more doctors, we need more nurses. I just, as you said, was at the Phoenix VA talking to them, they're seeing that problem. (01:00–01:06)
