You're absolutely welcome. John, America is sick. It's going to take some major surgery to heal this nation. There are going to be some hard, bitter pills to swallow and also a lot of terrible medical metaphors. But don't worry. Dr. Hodgman is in. First problem, access.

White hair man is right. So I'm going to write my first prescription. Make every American a member of Congress. I don't know, John, actually, that that's practical. Oh, really? In some respects.

There's certainly more than one way to skin this patient. What? Prescription two, a healthy dose of prevention. Now, yes, exercise, diet, that sort of thing? No, no, John. Illness is not transmitted through diet and exercise. I'm talking about preventing contact, moving the sick people to a designated area far away from the rest of us.
