From Via Benefits by WTW. Welcome to Eye on 65, a podcast for employers and plan sponsors looking to elevate their retiree healthcare benefits. Today I get to talk to Sal Trentacoste, a retiree that I spoke with originally back in 2020. He's a former union laborer and definitely not known to sugarcoat anything. Welcome, Sal. I know that a lot has happened in the last few years. Can you share an update about yourself since that time?

Sal Trentacoste (00:35):
