Not necessarily.
I think that it is a different framework than we're used to.

Healthcare is expensive, especially in the US.
And so you have two people earning.
In urban cities, you have young women earning more than men in their 20s.

That makes it tricky.
Exactly.
Yeah.
No one ever says like, you are a provider, but we learn it from a million different perspectives.
