So that is how, I'll give you another example of it.

We pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. One out of four Americans can't afford the drugs their doctors prescribe. So you walk into the doctor's office, and they say, okay, Lex, you got this, that, and the other thing. Here's your prescription. You can't afford to fill it. What happens? You get sicker.

The estimate is that some 60,000 people in America die every single year unnecessarily because they can't get to a doctor when they need because of financial reasons. And you want to hear even crazier, one out of four people who get cancer treatment in this country either go bankrupt or deplete their financial resources or their family. So your point is right.

You know, if somebody diagnoses you with cancer, you're scared to death, you're worried about how you're going to live, you're going to die, what's going to happen. And then on top of that, you've got to worry about whether your family goes bankrupt. How insane and cruel is that? So to me, you know, I think healthcare is what unites us all. Everybody has family. They get sick. We all get born.

And you know what? People know that. And you know what they say? I don't feel well today. Something's wrong. I ain't going to go to that emergency room because I don't want a $6,000 bill. And what happens? He had insurance that paid two-thirds of it, right? Yes. So what happens if he didn't? What happens if he didn't have money?
