And for the insurances we're talking about in New York City, most of the insurances as we know they're all driven by Medicaid and if we're not getting that, your billing that you're counting on is not gonna be there because they're gonna have that decrease.

We can have insurances but if the Medicaid decrease, most of the folks that we're serving will not be able to bill.
