We looked at the city of Chicago, and we looked at the lifespan of people in North Chicago.

They lived to 90 years old.

And we looked to South Chicago, obviously a much challenged community there, and they were 60 years old.

In one city, the average life variance is 30 years.

So we have to have that accessibility, again, in the community, driving primary care,

addressing some of the issues of chronic illness that are out there.

And remember, a lot of these chronic illnesses, which is interesting, are behaviorally driven.

So about 80% are based on our behaviors.

So if we stop doing, and a lot of the things that are driving this increase, this incredible inflation in healthcare is obesity.

And if you look at

at diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer, even Alzheimer's, they're finding correlations there.

I think a lot of it is where we're gonna be moving back is I think we come back to, and then you go back into the consumerism.

As the consumers get smarter and smarter about what's driving this, and as they participate more and more

in their healthcare and pay for more and more, which is unfortunate, but that's what's going to start to occur.

I think they're going to be that savvy consumerism will start to kick in.

So I'm very excited about where we're going to be going and particularly some of the innovations that are occurring in the United States that I think will take hold that'll drive.

But again, it's going to be a really fun ride in the next 10 years.

It's going to be exciting.
