Okay.
So we agree on that.
Yeah, I think it's trash.
The rate of uninsured in the United States, the rate of people who are underinsured, which is different than uninsured, of course, is brutal.
And it makes me...
You know, I think so often about the families who a loved one gets cancer, horrible disease that we're talking about, and they're sitting at the hospital bed of their loved one and they're thinking, their first thought is, how can I make sure my loved one gets better?
Their first thought is, can I even pay for this?
Can I afford for them to get better?
And I think in the wealthiest country in the world, that's a travesty.
If you get cancer, you shouldn't be going bankrupt, you shouldn't be going poor, you shouldn't be going hungry.
You should be able to get that treatment.
And it's one of the most, I think, depressing parts of politics right now that gets some conversation, but not enough.
Yeah.
Well, Trump cut a lot of Medicaid, right?
Yeah, he cut a lot of Medicaid, a lot of Medicare, cut food stamps.
And so there are estimates, depending on the program, but broadly that around 16 million people because of his
big, beautiful bill, he calls it, are going to lose their health care.
Wow.
16 million.
I mean, you know, these and the people on Medicaid and Medicare, these are hardworking folks.
