So that's what I'm interested in.

And I think that it can be done with starting with some leadership that says, this is important.

Let's start pulling people together.

Let's listen to people.

Let's start pulling together.

How can the University of Minnesota be engaged in this?

How can we engage the private business sectors?

how can we engage rural Minnesota, which is so, so, so important.

And we're seeing that almost every day as they lose their health infrastructure.

And that's not necessarily from federal funding completely.

That's also from, you know, health organizations basically saying we can't afford to offer these services anymore in your little town.

You know, that's, I think if we were to get,

a coalition of strong leaders together, and maybe some of our senators and representatives.

And I would hope that if we engage some of the politicians, I would hope that it would be very much of a bipartisan effort as well, because this isn't about our politics.

This is about our health.

And whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, it's the same.

Yeah, exactly.

And we can't be deer caught in the headlights on this.

And I know to some extent, I understand that impact I've had recently.

of feelings of it myself.
