Pete McCabe

I look at myself, I'm relatively healthy, relatively young.

I've probably got 20 different providers I visited over my life.

My personal data sits in over 100 different systems.

Nobody, starting with me, has a full picture of Pete.

Different institutions, different technology solutions, highly regulated.

You end up with a complexity and fragmentation that you don't see anywhere else in the world.

Look, I think where you have a single payer system, they've got a massive advantage.

They have more standards, whether they be data standards or privacy standards.

In a lot of cases, they run on single IT platforms, but not in all cases.

So you dramatically reduce the variables and you can go from, you know, China,

which ends up being pretty homogeneous to the EU, which is a little bit more homogeneous.

And Canada, which is pretty tightly controlled to the US, which is pretty independent.

Everybody faces the same challenge.

Even in the single payer systems, they still have the similar type challenge.

It's just degrees greater in the US.

Exactly.

I lived in France for a while, and I didn't use the public health care system because my insurance allowed me to use private.

The private guys look a lot like the U.S.

Occasionally, I use the public system.

Uh-oh, you got fragmentation.
