Thank you so much.
2:18:17
No, I think that's a great idea.
2:18:20
I like to call it the shame list.
2:18:23
Yeah, no, very good idea.
2:18:25
And I think also Hildaland's point of really advertising and letting folks know not only can claims result in positive response to the community but that we are there doing that work is really important to send the message that we are standing with people and we're standing against these fraudulent issues.

I also just thank you.
2:18:51
I think the minimum number of investigations is definitely something we should pursue because as you saw, the agency seems to have a slapdash response.
