I mean 5 million jobs. Excuse me. That would really be something. And a government, a major government takeover, and yet what do we have for the quality of results to expect in that we've seen it done in other countries and in the State of Tennessee and Massachusetts? I think Massachusetts health care costs are up 20 or 30 percent over the average of other States. That's not a very good model. Tennessee, the Governor of that State, a Democrat Governor of Tennessee, said this thing is the mother of all unfunded mandates. The States are struggling with their budgets. And here you've got a guy who's a Democrat who's experienced with this thing and saying why are you going to impose this nationally, when it doesn't work on a State basis.
