Even if you're on commercial insurance, even if you're on Medicare, you know it's going to raise costs for all of us because more of that care will be uncompensated. And that's what worries me. The other point I wanna make on this is With these Medicaid cuts, it is gonna hit rural Wisconsin way more than it is going to hit suburban Wisconsin or urban Wisconsin. Our rural hospital systems are already hurting, and to have these cuts in Medicaid, that's just going to be disastrous. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. (09:32–09:42)
