Well, I mean, again, this is not my direct area of expertise, but I think it's pretty abundantly clear that it's multifactorial. There's an entire gigantic mess with health insurance in our country. And there's a gigantic mess with drug pricing that the outgoing Biden administration has been attempting to make some progress on. And

I don't know what the Trump administration is going to do when they come into power, but I sincerely hope that they continue to try to get situations, get deals together so that the American drug consumer is not subsidizing all this research in a way that really is done in no other country in the world. So those are two big things that I think need to be looked at carefully.

In the health system that we have now, those are out of control costs. And this horribly tragic recent events associated with the murder of a drug insurance company executive in New York, I mean, this is terrible, and I think it's horrible that the social media associated with that, subsequent to the murder, some people were kind of saying that the murderer was a hero as a result of it.

I don't subscribe to that at all. I think it's a horrific thing to have done. That said, it shows the outpouring of frustration with the way in which medical insurance and drug company costs are really having a terrible, terrible effect on all of us. And so I think those are two areas that really need to be cleaned up.

Yeah. Even UnitedHealth was looking at... I believe it was the Department of Justice investigation for some kind of financial scheme going on. Similar vein as some of the people you were researching for the Alzheimer's work. What do you think...
