The gentleman couldn't have laid it out any better. That is exactly what we are talking about. If every Member of our body would go home and just go to their community pharmacy, they would hear this all over the country. This is not new. I have been on this floor now for almost 2\1/2\ years talking about this, and I have not had PBMs come to me and say: Well, no, that's not really true. Because they do it. So I thank the gentleman for being a part and lending your voice in your community. We are also very blessed in this body to have someone who doesn't have to come to it like I did in having to deal with it from a family perspective or from my community. We have someone who has actually done this for a living. He is my friend from southeast Georgia. He is a pharmacist. He has made this his life. I saw he was up at his alma mater the other day, and, President Cathy Cox, I would have to say he is a Young Harris man. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter).
