And the average person is employed or is insurance comes from their employer. And so if I'm a CEO at United and I know you're headed towards, you know, something catastrophic. I can delay your ability to uncover that through putting these obstructions on things that don't make me money. Oh, come on. You think they would do that? Oh, absolutely. Like diabetes is a prime example.
That's why they don't allow you to get comprehensive blood work. That's why they delayed women's care. Like the OB-GYN initiatives were saying that we should be screening for certain genetic disorders in your 20s. And the insurance company said, no, we think that number should be 35. And all the clinicians go, okay, the number's 35.

And so now women don't get that screening to see if their child's gonna have a genetic issue unless they're over the age of 35. And there's hundreds of examples of this. So I think what happens is I'm an executive at United. The whole system's built for quarterly earnings, quarterly profits. I gotta hit that number for Wall Street. Let's just say I'm managing 100,000 patient lives.

Every day, month, week I can delay those individuals is another day, week, and month that I don't spend money on a surgery. And if I deny those surgeries and only 10% of them come back and fight me on it, step one is to deny.

Here's an example. They will say these things are expensive. So the screening tools we use in health care are dated. This is why we have moved to a cash pay. Our clinic weighs too well. We've become a big name because of Joe. We helped Joe. We helped Aaron Rodgers. We're in the Aaron Rodgers documentary. But everything we do pretty much is not covered by insurance.

Our job is to have an intelligent conversation with patients, to do the deep dive, to uncover the root cause, and to explain to the patient what is happening with their body and why, and to give you, the patient, sovereignty and autonomy over your health. And so an example would be a cancer screening.
