I really liked the conversation that you guys had about expectations. And when I think about what I want government to do for me and the expectations I have for government for me and my family is keeping me safe. And one of those being healthcare. And there are some instances in which I do not feel safe With healthcare, I'm type 1 diabetic, and it's extremely expensive.

During a job transition, which I'm going through at the moment, I don't necessarily feel safe. I'm worried about... you know, employee insurance, how that transition is going to look. And in my mind, it's the government's job to keep me safe, not my employers.

And so I think when I'm talking about voting for a new elected official, I want somebody in office who's going to advocate for my communities to be safe. And that includes health care.

Well, I have something to add on to it. The question you asked about why we do open enrollment every year really stuck with me. And Dr. Blewett, your explanation of why it happens every year was fabulous. And I thought that I could give a little insight as to why it's important. I used to be a overall very healthy person. And so a high deductible health plan is

was an easy choice because I'm not spending thousands of dollars on my health care a year until your health changes overnight and you now have type 1 diabetes and have to spend thousands of dollars on prescriptions. You don't want to have that high deductible health plan anymore.

And so I enjoyed open enrollment in 2018 when I was able to switch my health plan from a high deductible to a lower deductible. because I wasn't going to want to spend five grand out of pocket every year. And now I spend only two grand out of pocket every year. So open enrollment is also great because you don't know how your health is going to change on the flip of a coin.

And that's what happened to me. And that's why open enrollment is good.

That's a good question because right now, at the moment, I don't consider myself a very spiritual or religious person at all. I grew up in a Catholic household and I think a lot of people my age get to be 24 after going to CCD every week and living in a Catholic house and family for so long and kind of move away from religion and spirituality because of

I think the best way to put it is pressures from the church. So my sense of spirituality is more how I am in touch with myself and the people around me. And so I kind of define it as community and in church and spirituality, people have community and my community is not in a church or a synagogue, but they're close knit.

groups of friends, or I have a very, very close community at the lifetime that I work out at. And I work at, um, people that I didn't know two years ago, and now we go get happy hour drinks, or, um, I have a couple of women who are very, very close. And, you know, the only time that we chat or talk is when we're at the gym, but I still consider them very close friends.
