People who actually see their doctor think they're sicker, but they're actually much healthier than people who don't see their doctor because ignorance is bliss.
People don't go to their doc or seek any kind of health advice, think that they're doing great.
And actually, objectively, they're doing much worse.
So we have an opportunity to democratize this by saying, okay, I'm going to meet you where you are.
You don't care about going to see a doctor, even though it's free, it's yours.
In this new health tech ecosystem, we're building out on with Amy Gleason, who also ran Doge, you know, helping to roll this all out.
We're making it easier for every tech company to participate.
600 companies have signed a pledge agreeing to interoperability, data transparency, and to build these tools for the American people to be able to use them.
Now, once I deputize you to be better equipped to take care of yourself, you change the system.
Because when you ask a doctor a question, the first time you're the only patient, they don't pay attention.
The second patient who asks the same question, we change.
As a physician, I'm telling you, it helps us to have patients pushing us to pay attention to, for example, ambient collection of information in the doctor's office.
So I get a medical report on what you told me.
Why?
Because 50% of what a doctor tells a patient is forgotten before the patient leaves the office.
So when your kid asks you, hey, what happened with the doctor?
You don't remember.
You're nervous.
You're anxious.
The doctor spoke quickly, used big words.
