When do you use it? But having it in your armamentarian is, and having it in your armamentarium in a way where it's not more costly. During the pandemic, televideo was paid for at the same rate as face-to-face. And when that emergency ends, some health plans are talking about paying less for it or not paying for audio only or paying less for that. I hope that doesn't happen.

There's been an emergency extension, but that question is going to get called and hopefully people can band together and say, don't shortchange people. It's necessary. Absolutely. Behavioral health problems.

I'm gonna answer this uncharacteristically, a little more diplomatically than I sometimes would. This is health chatter now. You can say what you need to say. I'll do both. I think there's a reason to sort of, I think there are always a few bad apples. And there are a very small number of people that try to do fraud and abuse.

And many of our payment systems, whether it's Medicare, whether it's Medicaid, whether it's private insurances, are always on the watch for that. And I think it's been overdone, over claimed, and there are all these rules and regulations to try and catch these things.

And I think they cause, I don't think you can ignore it, but I think it's made it much more difficult and scary for people to try and do it. And because of that, you're always have some tension to be about how do we avoid that? How do we enforce things? But at the same time, how do we make it easy enough for people that need it to get in?

But at the same time, how do we make it easy enough for people that need it to get in?

And that caused too much rigmarole and this and that and steps and delays and weights and barriers. And I think we are far more people harmed by the barriers than we do by catching fraud with our existing systems. Yeah, no kidding. And I. and how do I want to say this? Nobody wants, you know, healthcare is getting more and more expensive for everybody. And how do you keep the costs down? You know?

And once again, I think we've done a much better job of keeping the, I think we've done a poor job of keeping the costs down, but even a better job of screening people out and limiting what they get.

yeah yeah in in the pursuit of trying to keep it affordable and not hitting sort of the the uh um classic things you don't think about that are really problematic you know like uh looking at costs you know and trying to figure out how do we keep how do we keep them down whether it's uh um

all the things with the, all the sort of like hoops we have to jump through, how many people have to, how much time, effort, energy goes into sort of doing that, the delays that go into that. It's a very costly part of our system. And I don't know.

I need to see somebody good right away.
