And all it does is all the law will say is that the veterinarian can use their judgment to make a decision.
Just because health care is regulated at the state level.
This is veterinary care.
That's the system we live in.
But actually, I will tell you this.
Most legislators, once we tell them that this is a law that you need to help us with, most of them are completely on board.
They're like, we have human health care.
And a lot of them will say, I didn't even know this was an issue.
Like you said, I didn't even know this was an issue.
This is dumb.
Right.
So where it doesn't work is when the AVMA or a lot of these state lobby groups who have hundreds of millions of dollars in annual budgets, if they've lined a politician's pocket, then that's where we will have trouble in those states.
