But I'd be poorly served.
I hear the bell tolling.
If I didn't get into the other thing- For whom, we don't know.

But the issue right now that is consuming us is the fraud, waste, and abuse.
What have you found, Dr. Oz?
Tell us, what is the most concerning to you?
Well, as a preamble, without a better visibility into where the money's spent, which we need technology to be able to do.
Or audits.
Well, audits are interesting.
You could audit the spreadsheet.
You can't tell if the input to the spreadsheet was legitimate unless you actually go and do site visits.
And states don't want to do that.
So let me just give the key- Are they blocking it, these states?
Of course.
First of all, let me just, I'll tell you, that's a good question.
Why would you let fraud happen?
It is by federal law, by federal law mandated that if you give a patient a welfare program, SNAP, Medicaid, you must also give them the ability to sign up to vote.
So you're basically recruiting voters at the same time you're giving them free government services, which then you might actually end up recruiting a different kind of voter.
Like you don't have a law that if you go to an NRA convention, right, for gun advocates that you sign up voters, right?
