But if you look at today's population, the total Medicaid enrollee population right now is just under 200,000, and the baseline Medicaid expansion enrollment is about 57,000 Alaskans. And of those, again, looking at information that we have, we were able to exclude using those exclusions that we noted in the last slide almost 35,000 Alaskans, so just over 34,500 Alaskans. Again, this is information that we have in our system, so we don't have to do any self-attestation. You know, we don't have to reach out to providers. So then we looked at individuals who might be living with one of those short— in one of those areas that would qualify for a short-term hardship exception.
