Yeah, all of these things, all these factors we have to take a look at and we have to, again, we have to be much more attuned to what's really going on in order for us to really affect our community's health. And that's one of the things for me, and I'll be totally honest with you. I was talking to somebody recently and I was talking about the work that we do at Human.

You know, at one time we did like 250 health fairs a year. You know, but, you know, that's that's that's that was a long time ago when I was much younger. Now I find that that it's important for me to be more involved in the public policy making. Right. Now, that's hard for me because, you know, I don't want to do nothing with politics.

but that's where we have to go in order to really make some changes in our communities. At least for me, at least at this point in my life, I see politics, health, really, really connected together. And so therefore I have to readjust myself to be able to do these things. And so it's a struggle because, you know, I'm like, I'm the Kumbaya kind of guy, you know, but yeah, Kuba, yeah, don't work.

Yeah. Well, you know what, Sam? I want to say this real quick, and again, I'm not being political much. I have to talk like this, okay?

But I remember when they were talking about, I think, Congress. Congress, they covered. I mean, you're a Congress person. You're going to get your stuff is covered. But sometimes when you are in a situation like that where you don't have to worry about something, you're not as sensitive to what other people might need.

But sometimes when you are in a situation like that where you don't have to worry about something, you're not as sensitive to what other people might need.

And I think that that's part of the challenge that we have is that some people already got it made. They don't have to think about this. So this is not necessarily something that they have to worry about. But for other people, we have to think about this stuff.
