I thank the gentleman. Did you hear that? Did you hear what the gentleman said? The gentleman said that he's never treated a patient that was either a Republican or a Democrat. It doesn't matter to us who we're providing care to. We've got three wonderful nurses here, and we all appreciate what nurses do. Often times, the nurse is the first health care worker you encounter when you open your eyes after whatever has happened to you. So we appreciate our angels so much. But again, we providers, we don't care, we don't ask whether you're a Democrat or a Republican. All we care about is that you have a need. I would now like to recognize Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle from the great State of New York. We're actually moving above the Mason- Dixon line this evening, and we're talking to folks from New York.
