And access to care, which I think is hugely important. Right. And you look at how many adults could just, who had things but did not receive treatment, who report having an unmet need, who are uninsured and then have a harder time getting access, who are living with more than 14 plus days in a month and could not see a doctor because of costs.

Or, you know, basically, so it's people that really need help and aren't getting it. Minnesota is 14. So a little bit better than that in access.

In the overall adult rankings, they vary from state to state. It's not like one is good in everything. Yeah, right. So the overall ranking, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware did okay.

The worst ones were Kansas, Oregon, which is a little surprising, Arizona, Alabama. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, can I just say one thing? You're right. We do need to be more involved. But when you compare that to the general medical rankings, which are a little more consistent. Right. You know, Minnesota does really pretty well. If you look at longevity, we're one of the top ones.

But but there are there are consistent states that basically have better access and better quality and better ways to get people in to help them get in Massachusetts. Minnesota, Wisconsin, some other New England states, Hawaii tends to do okay there. But in mental health, we're at best just average.

Yeah. You know, It's so multifactorial. But if you think about it, just in the U.S., compared to other countries, other countries may have national health services and everybody gets access to care, it gets paid for. The U.S.,

Yeah. You know, It's so multifactorial. But if you think about it, just in the U.S., compared to other countries, other countries may have national health services and everybody gets access to care, it gets paid for. The U.S.,

is all over the map and depending what's going on with state legislatures and politics and whether you don't wanna pay for stuff with taxes, you know, less people get covered by insurance, it's harder to get into MA, there's less money available for disability kind of wraparound services and stuff.

Um, so, you know, in Minnesota tends to, in terms of social support compared to the whole vast U S tends to be, tend to have a sort of a little better safety net for mental health, social services. Um, uh, but, uh, and a little, and more people here tend to get insured one way or the other Minnesota care covers the working or, you know, some of that kind of stuff, but what's available.

But but it's still we don't even think about it. It's like the air we breathe about how the population in the U.S. is stratified by wealth, by whether you're employed, whether you can qualify for M.A. or not, by whether your county is a richer county and chooses to sort of have more county based services for things. And it's not that way so much for medical things. Yeah.
