The other thing is health insurance, the health insurance premium is going to go up for most of us. I'm going to say most and it's not only the premium, we're talking about the co-pay. When you walk into the doctor's office, if your co-pay was $30, it might be $50, $75. I have a friend, her co-pay now is $75. Before I had this insurance in about 20 years ago, my premium was $30, so your premium to walk in to see the doctor or not the doctor, the specialist, because the doctor's usually included. It's the specialist that we have to go see a cardiologist, you got to pay a specialty fee. Depending on what it is, that's going to go up, the formulary is going to change. The formulary is your drug. I take a Zimdi, 10 milligrams, which is about $10 as a copay for me now. That's one of my medications. But it might go up between $14.40 to $390, but I won't know until the mic drops. I won't know. And if it's $300, I guess I'm not taking that medicine. Now, so the two things you got to look for is when the new year comes up, you got to find out your medicine, how much it's going to cost, and if it's still in the formulary because the ones that get kicked out of the formulary is the most expensive ones. So that's the specialty medicine that gets kicked out because they're too expensive and the companies are not willing to pay for it. So it's a lot of things to look forward to, let's be merry, and we'll see, let's see how hard that mic is going to drop, back to you, great.
