But that's eroding as well, too. That's not growing either because small employers can't participate in this anymore. And even large employers are saying this is not sustainable. It's bound to collapse at some point. It's just a matter of when, in my view.

I had to know what the movie was about.

So I flew from Philadelphia to Sacramento to the first screening of that movie to know how Cigna was being portrayed. And that was one of the cases that was in the movie. And I knew it was a real one. And you're exactly right. Somebody at the company decided, well, this little girl can get by with just one, even though she needed to. She can manage with just one.

This happens all the time because these people can remain anonymous and they're so far removed. They never examine the patient. They might see some paperwork or at least something scanned to them, faxed to them, whatever. In many cases, still faxed. But they're at such a distance, they have no real understanding of what that patient is going through.

Yeah, this is typical. And that was another thing that I had to handle when I was at Cigna, executive compensation. And big companies have disclosed what the top paid executives are paid. And the compensation is extraordinary. Here's the other thing about that. 90%, and this was a talking point that I used, and reporters bought it and thought that justifies the big paycheck.

90% of his compensation, I would say, was at risk. In other words, he was paid in stock grants and stock options.
