Well, so think about what is there a lot of in Arizona? Older people. Right. And this is a big part of the problem. So right now... Snakes. It costs six times as much to provide healthcare for someone who's 64 compared to someone who's 19. But the way the law is set up, you can't charge someone more than three times what you charge the youngest person in your pool. So young people are paying for twice as much for their insurance compared to the care that they're getting, and that's why so few of them are actually enrolling. The projections were you were going to have 21 million people in these pools. You've had nine million short. It's mostly those young, healthy people, which is why these pools are short. And many of them are down to one healthcare provider because they've so over-regulated these (30/43)
