We want to work with industry.

We believe the private sector will come up with better ideas, come work with us.

And we're also looking for people.

And we had nine engineers, nine engineers when we came in.

All of CMS, our COBOL-based infrastructure built in the 70s, where we don't even have engineers that- You're talking about in the department, you had nine engineers out of, what's the denominator of employees?

6,500 employees and 40,000 contractors.

So you basically have an HR person in government working with a government affairs person at the company.

There's no engineers there.

We took out, we took $3 billion of cost out.

There was a company that we fired that had billed us $200 million, not a single usable line of code.

And here's the good part, when we fired them, you know what they said?

Nothing.

You look like a gazelle right now, by the way.

Kidney failure, liver disease, dementia.

So I'm glad you came to work today.

So about two months ago in the Oval Office, the president basically did that.

He said that we're gonna take the prices of these drugs, which are now prohibitively high for many Americans, $1,200 cash pay.

It's crazy.

It's going to be a starting price of around $200.

Easy.
