Sometimes you make decisions based on how much insurance is costing you -- you shop around one day you have -- -- -- you may have united and all you matter whatever the case may be.
This is going to become more of an issue.
And yeah competition keep prices in line I don't think so I think -- listening -- whatever whatever they think about competition health -- I never seen it work.
If that was the case health care cost would have been down because we'll -- -- advertisements of things we have -- between hospitals and doctors and the cost keeps going up so I don't think that that's the case.
So yes you gonna keep of the you -- it changes quickly because the prices are gonna go down.

We have an infrastructure.
In the destruction when it comes to hospital little building hospitals anymore.
Brightpoint actually we don't we -- we don't -- hospitals right now the president goes around says that we need to spend money building more bridges and roads.
Well you need to know more hospitals but nobody wants to build more hospitals was a very costly so what happens this.
Now more patients -- would -- doctors we don't have nurses in certain cities.
Okay hi -- show which are gonna go back now into the -- -- We're going to put these people -- you know you talk about about waiting in the -- right.
