No. I mean the Senate bill as we just said removes 22 million people from health care. The House bill, according to the Congressional budget office, removed 33 million. So, to that extent, the Senate bill is better. But if you think that having hearts, being less mean, means going from 23 million people to 22 million people losing health care, you don't have much heart to begin with. And this is a bombshell, Anderson. This is the kind of thing that shakes members of Congress up, because they have to face voters, many of whom are going to lose, or have already by the time you have the 2018 midterm elections, have already lost their health care. This is not only immoral. This is also something that is politically very, very damaging for the Republicans.
