We had this person on that was talking about, well, actually, I took a trip down to the water plant in Minneapolis. And, you know, city of Minneapolis, they inspect their waters 500 times a day. They test their waters 500 times a day. What he told me was that Flint, Michigan, the things that happened in Flint, Michigan could have been avoided for about $2,000.

There was a political piece going on there, but for $2,000, we had this huge issue And they assumed part of that was some political decisions that were being made. So I don't think that people really do get the fact that there are some health factors that are also impacted by our political will or less or not will.

You know, Shane, I was going to say, you know, our topic today was politics and its effect on health. And I really don't, I don't believe that many people understand, you know, who you vote for. Yeah. Voting. making sure that you have people that understand the importance of health. I mean, you put people in places and they don't want to provide coverage for groups and for those kinds of things.

It's... Politics has a major, major role in terms of the health of a community. You know, all the zoning laws. I mean, you know, you know, people are, you know, people, the zoning laws, you know, you put people in and they say, well, we're going to have an incinerator here. You know, they're right next door to a to a community.

that's politics, you know, and people are putting people in that just says, yeah, yeah, we'll go to both of that. And so I think it's important that people really do understand that there is a real connection. And, you know, between this and our health, and it's not something that we normally explore.

I was actually in Baltimore a couple of weeks ago at the Academy of Health. And one of the posters that was there was this poster that this lady created around the coverage of mental health services in communities. So they're actually mapping out services to communities. And what they were saying, this is what she said, and I hope I'm saying this correctly.

She was saying that there's a lot more coverage than we suspect, but it's based on whether or not you have the right kind of insurance. So we have these huge gaps in these various communities that are not being covered because they don't have the right kind of insurance, which then begins to become a political piece because we need to provide ways to do that.

So what's interesting about this particular topic is that we can go off into a thousand different ways But there's a lot of understuff. There's a lot of undercurrent with this whole issue around politics and health. And so it's kind of good to enter into this very broad section conversation.

You know, I was thinking about that. When you asked that question, I just said, like, what do I expect? Exactly. You know, what do I expect? And I think I expect access. You know, I expect that, you know, that when I need health care, that it's there for me.

But I think, you know, a little bit earlier in the conversation, you know, listening to what Barry was saying, I thought about the pharmaceutical deserts. I thought about the food deserts.
