They all know to really be able to get healthcare in rural America, you've got to right-size the system.

Right-sizing the system means hospitals are going to work out differently, doctors will work differently with each other, but AI is the core element of

The microclinics, I think, have a huge opportunity to provide top-tier care.

But this goes beyond that.

We have AI-supported robots that are going to be doing ultrasounds in parts of Alabama where there are no OBs.

We have drones delivering prescription medications to the North Slope of Alaska.

where there are no roads.

We have vending machines that can dispense smart dispensing of medications.

By the way, this is happening in other countries.

So we want this to take place in America.

And why not take advantage of an opportunity with a huge, massive inflow of money, which the Rural Health Transformation Fund does, $50 billion,

to start to do some innovative work in rural parts of the country, which is the foundational element of who we are as a nation.

Those values ripple up to the rest of us.

I also think that states now are talking to each other differently.

Now that you've got money that's out there that can be used to change the world, they start talking about AI and technology generally very differently.

Now it's not a sparse research.

We live in a world of abundance, and AI makes it that much more abundant if we use it correctly.

And it's not gonna happen today, but we believe by the time the administration has completed its work, we will have dramatically changed the face of how Americans work with information in the healthcare system.

Some of it's just blocking and tackling, as you said, make medical record companies, not data block.

Some of it's forcing health information systems to share data more comfortably and elegantly at a fair price.
