KB9, NSK, this is KC2, PKT. Les just told me that they're starting to close down rural hospitals. This is one of our big worries up here. The nearest city hospital is two hours away. So there's an emergency room two hours away in Bangor. If they shut down the smaller rural hospitals that we have around here in West Virginia, not West Virginia, but Virginia, three of them are closing down. So you're gonna see in the next month or so, probably a government shutdown. They're gonna try and stop the continuing resolution to fund the government. The Democratic senators are probably gonna do that. And it's over this, it's over the big cuts in Medicaid and Medicare. They don't wanna let those go. And that's gonna be responsible for a lot of little hospitals across United States. Rural hospitals can't afford to run. There are enough trouble as it is trying to run. But if they cut down the eligibility for Medicare, if they cut down the funds for Medicare, they're just gonna close up shop. And that's really awful. That affects my choice in table sauce because I can't afford to cut off a finger and then drive for two hours. So it's gonna hit all my neighbors too. So I'm hoping that they can come to some kind of accommodation. They don't actually have to shut the government down. They can get that funding put back in again. But we'll see, we will see. Back to you KB9NSK, this is KC2PKG.
