Michael RamletGUEST
I think everyone should, I think everyone should stop releasing press releases claiming all kinds of things about quality.

Michael RamletGUEST
Like, I think the realization is that you have to own the quality, and that means you have to own as much of that supply chain and have as much validation and security protocols in place with suppliers.

Michael RamletGUEST
So you think about us, we're probably the world's largest end buyer of sample, 'cause we're collecting that data, for instance, on the state of the economy that's being shared with central banks.

Michael RamletGUEST
So we have this just intense focus on high-quality outcomes because it's our name on, you know, the door when we're sending it to the Federal And so what we cared about was that ability to directly connect with panels.

Michael RamletGUEST
So we had gone from a world in the beginning where we were on the exchanges.

Michael RamletGUEST
Today, we-- Five years ago, we made the decision we're gonna build our own private exchange.

Al GoldsteinHOST
Do you have a view on just the political landscape with midterms coming up and you have 2028, given that you guys are doing a lot of polling as well from Morning Consult? Where do you think?

Michael RamletGUEST
So one is in 18 of the last 20 midterm elections, the sitting president's party has lost.

Michael RamletGUEST
So in this case, In the House, it's a five-seat margin, and that is a razor-thin margin.

Michael RamletGUEST
If you look at where Trump was in the midterm cycle this time in 2018, he is actually better performing from an approval standpoint, which I think would surprise folks.

Michael RamletGUEST
Just generally speaking, at this point in 2018, the generic ballot favored Democrats by seven to eight percentage points, where today the generic ballot favors Democrats by three to four.
