Either way, we have to do our part.
Again, I'm a big believer that we can't wait for anyone to save you, right?

And that's how you're going to make change.
It's what you're doing yourself every single day.
If you're waiting for someone else to do it,
We're not going to get too far.
So for us, that's why we built this new facility.
And we said, okay, we got to do something different.
Because the system is broken, we call it, but really not broken, because it's actually made this way for a purpose.
So it's really not broken.
It's working for them.
No, we spend more money, as you know, on health care than any other country, way more.
