The area and pharmacy benefit manager that is they handled the pharmacy benefit. People's health plans. And so they're the ones who. Handled the script -- the payments to the pharmacies in. Get paid by their health insurance companies sought to date there through Obama to. They should do all right help health insurers should be getting a lot more more custom role and that has been more customers or Express Scripts. Right now this is a 51 dollar stock it's been as high. And 66 dollars during the last year about would what are you expecting for the city it's a pretty big company and 42 billion dollar company. Point two billion dollar company and has about 40% of the total keep him architecture. So dominant player there. What I'm expecting is that its commitment and keep on transferring people more to generic drugs. As those continue to come off patent over the next couple leaders.
