So, yeah, hundreds of thousands of people in my state are going to lose healthcare and people who are the most dependent on a little bit of help that they get from the government. And again, children, 150 ,000 children in Illinois are going to lose food assistance, maybe more. So, yeah, this is a, we're going to do everything we can to try to mitigate the damage, but it's not going to be enough. I'm just telling you now, people are going to die because this bill passes and Donald Trump will be proudly signing it so he can give again a massive tax break to wealthy people in this country.
