Uh like the FTC does this a lot.

Yeah.

You know, they say that for consumers, numbers should be trusted.

And yet we we kinda let the healthcare system

The other thing I observe about the US healthcare system, so Patrick and I both grew up in Ireland, uh moved uh here for college.

And the US has a very vibrant private healthcare system, which is different from kind of many other countries uh which have uh you know public uh government uh run and funded healthcare systems.

And what I notice is

People just have a weird reaction to private healthcare.

Private hospitals people think are weird, despite the fact that you have much shorter wait times in the US than you have in many other countries because we have uh more kind of hospitals and all these new private outpatient uh kind of specialty clinics.

But the biggest one is when people come to the US, they're shocked by pharma advertising.

And uh, you know, they put on a sports game and just like the break comes, and it's all pharma ads.

And my understanding is that

There's a again a significant pro-social defense of this, which is many of these drugs are shown through all the extensive trials that you know we uh make you guys do to have a significant health benefit.

And then it leads to them being prescribed more by doctors, because people actually ask their doctors.

They do, in fact, do the thing they have, they ask their doctor about them.

And it leads to more usage.

But yet, people just find the whole thing weird, you know, private for-profit healthcare.

Yeah.

And so, do you have a view on where this?

goes, what we can do about it.
