It's so cost-effective. You know, it's a funny thing to say--you can't put a dollar value to it. You can put a dollar value to how much more it would cost if Prince had to go to the emergency room to deal with diabetes, but you can't put a dollar value to what all the things you really tell me you care about there, the way people make you feel that you can talk to somebody. But I know this, that a whole lot more of you will have successful lives as a result of this clinic. And the rest of us, you know, if you don't make it, it's not good for us either. That's the point you were making. And we pay a terrible price for that. This has been very encouraging, and I thank you for taking time to talk to me. Thank you, Barbara. Thank you, Doctor. Ms. Zeigler. Mr. President, staff, and everyone who has made this possible, we have just been thrilled to have you here.
