Well, initially, right now, it’s trying to get everybody on the same page to figure out what we actually can pass. But in general, I’m a problem solver. I come from the manufacturing sector. I understand the process for solving a problem. First, you have to admit you have one.

You know, Democrats falsely accused Republicans of slashing Medicaid. The Wall Street Journal reported that Medicaid spending this year is up 10%. We didn’t make a dent in it, and, again, we didn’t have the Nick Shirley video showing the massive, rampant fraud, basically using the Medicaid program, a third of all hospice centers in Los Angeles. Absurd. So, Doctor Oz stopped funding 400 of them. None of them complained.
So it’s just, it’s just showing how rampant and endemic fraud is. We need to address that.
