i do think, though, that in pat toomey, you have somebody -- kind of what he did on gun control, whichat the same time, he was this conservative guy who was able to find a way to kind of bridge the middle ground. and while there's problems with obamacare, the fact of the matter is, particularly in issues like medicaid and some of the medicaid expansion. i mean, i had a fella who came by my office, his name is joe mcgrath. he has parkinson's. his wife has cancer. his daughter's 18, profoundly challenged. >> mm. >> he said to me, "brian, this -- she'll have to be institutionalized. it's gonna cost the state more, the government more to do that than let her stay at home with us." so, it's all the joe mcgraths of the world and their families and their daughters that we can't forget, and i'm as conservative fiscally as you can imagine, and i've been doing this show for 30 years, so people know it. but let's not forget those who really are needy. >> and the governor has send a letter saying to pat toomey that the state has, you know, some issues with the changes that could be in the offing f
