Or, I don't know, I'm trying to think of another, like eye surgery.

Very competitive specialty, pays very high, very hard to do.

But I'd love to see family medicine climb up there because I think if we invest in the grassroots foundational portion of healthcare,

We're going to have really good outcomes.

Even with insurance companies, this is actually one of the important points.

I recommended this, but I'm not smart enough to know what the drawbacks are.

Right now, everyone's insurer swaps every few years.

You get a new job, you get a new insurance plan.

Someone gets bought out.

You get a new insurance plan.

There's a waiting period.

Imagine you have one insurer for your whole life.

It doesn't have to be government or a single payer, but just one insurer is basically tied to you.

So they're now invested in keeping you healthy.

Right.

Now, all of a sudden, they're going to want to invest in prevention because why would you want to invest in prevention in a person where you're only going to be covering them for a couple of years?

You want to spend the least amount of money as a business.

But don't they make more money when you're sick, actually?

Well, insurers lose money because insurance is paying out when you get sick.

Where that happens is you have a uniform, small population, or at least smaller than the 300 plus million we have in the US.
