And I've been really proud of my record to try to make health care more affordable, bringing down the price of prescription drugs, including the cost for insulin for seniors and inhalers for people with asthma and COPD. We just had a recent success of bringing down or capping out of pocket costs for inhalers to no more than $35 out of pocket per inhaler for three out of the four manufacturers of inhalers.
