Yeah, no, just wanted to quickly say thank you because when I was running my previous nonprofits for a women's health program in the AAPI community, we partnered a lot with you all and just wanted to say thank you because especially this topic is very taboo still among many immigrant communities and I think you guys provide such an essential service.

So I just wanted to say thank you and of course we'll continue to fight because private insurance is the worst when it comes to reimbursement rates, we all know that.

And you know we need to make sure that the Medicaid, Medicare dollars stay in place and so we'll continue to fight on that front too.

So thank you.
