So you know, I would certainly go after the big subsidies for big oil and I would hasten the speed of Medicare and negotiation with the big pharmaceutical companies. The first round, which was just 10 drugs, concluded in August. And That first round of negotiations are going to save about 9 million people, about $1.5 billion.
