If you even start with the first piece of this on really understanding the mission, understanding how are we improving access?
How are we improving affordability?
How are we improving quality?
Thank you for having me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Look, I think we all just, as a baseline, need to do better for our patients and plan members, et cetera.
I mean, there's a lot of great things in our health care system, right?
The innovation that happens, the ability to really make people better is phenomenal.
But there's a few things that I think we've really got to push on to make better.
Some of it we started, some of it we've got to expand on.
So one is just how we think about health care.
We historically do a great job of
treating chronic conditions, addressing acute issues.
When we've started to expand into mental health, we've got to do much better in integrating the care across physical and mental health.
We've really got to be thinking about all those other factors, the food, the wellness, all those pieces.
How do we bring that together to help make our country healthier?
Second, we do have to make it more personal.
We always talk about health care being local.
We talk about a local market, the hospitals in that market, the particular insurance that is available in that market.
