Like in the state of Texas, Blue Cross Blue Shield is 30% of your revenue. So I'll tell you a real world example. I owned a pharmacy and I still do own pharmacies, but I don't take insurance. Like our model now is we refuse to take insurance because if I don't take insurance, I can tell the patient the real price.

I can get rid of all the games, all the fuzzy numbers, and I can just say, hey, it cost me this. I'm going to sell it to you for that. I'm going to mail it to your doorstep. It's that simple. So, I mean, why aren't there more pharmacies like that? They're springing up. They are coming up. And I think it's taking the American people. So many people think, well, my insurance should cover it.

And I try to explain they're going to cover it. But there's a price to pay. And that price to pay is way more than dollars. They are going to make you chronically ill and make money off you. And oftentimes you're spending more than you would to just pay cash for the compound. Uh, like here's an example.

I also owned labs and I owned a blood lab and I went out and I educated clinicians in the state of Texas on the importance of preventative care. My, my, my pitch, my elevator pitch was the five chronic diseases that are killing so many Americans. How do we stop them? We don't let them develop in the first place. And how do we do that? We do that through getting proactive and predictive.

And how do we do that? We do that by taking a look under the hood. Do you just go out and romp on a car without changing the oil or maintaining it? No, you take care of the vehicle. We have to take care of our bodies. And the only way to do that is to do the deep dive annually and to understand. A basic checkup in America is a lipid panel. They're looking at like four or five things.

They're looking at nothing. You can't get anything out of that. To do a deep dive, you look at over 70 biomarkers. Now I'm looking at your blood work and I can tell, like I said earlier, are you headed towards diabetes? And if you are, we can intervene. We can act now before you become diabetic. But what the insurance model does is they wait for you to become diabetic. Why?

It costs sixfold to keep you alive every year once you're diabetic because they're getting paid off the insulin. there's an incentive for them to let you become diabetic. You show you the incentives, I'll show you the outcomes. We've got to pivot this and shift this. So I would educate doctors on the importance of blood work.
