Correct. Okay. And the challenge is... Every safety net throughout the system has been captured. And that's why I think the corporate capture narrative is so important. And that's what I was trying to get through to the Senate. Everyone talks about the speech that Eisenhower gave about the military industrial complex. People forget there was a second half to that speech. It's very rare.

Bobby Kennedy is actually the only person I've ever heard talk about it. And I was so excited when I heard him talk about it because I'm like, finally. And the second half was, if we allow, corporate interest to capture our scientific community, then what we will find is we will lose the garage tinkerer. We will lose the innovator.

We will stifle and suppress innovation and everything will turn to basically profits and a profit driven system. Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcomes. We have built a system based on quarterly profits and quarterly earnings throughout the system. Whether we're talking about the pharmaceutical industry,

the big health insurance companies, the hospital systems, the doctor's practices, everyone is built into this ecosystem that is attempting to capture human lives and monetize those touch points. So everything that you do is a revenue generator for all of these various entities. And there's so much money being made off chronic disease. There's no interest in curing chronic disease.

And so the problem is we're just launching band-aids into the marketplace rather than healing the wound. And in medicine, we say, to treat chronic disease, you have to uncover the root cause. And I'm telling you, the root cause runs deep and it's insidious and it's dark.
