Yeah. And, you know, that debate between, you know, Medicaid for all or, you know, whether there's a public private, you know, a public option or. a gradual integration or, you know, whatever it is, Obamacare, it's all about moving deck chairs around in the Titanic. Because, you know, the thing that's driving costs, it's shifting costs from one person to another.

Is it, you know, who's going to pay the costs? It's going to be the doctors who pay the costs. It's going to be the hospitals that pay the costs. It's going to be the HMOs, the pharmaceutical companies, the government. Who's going to pay it? That's the only debate that's going on.

And what we should be saying is how do we reduce the cost so it's more in line with the healthier countries in the world? We pay $4.3 trillion for health care. That dwarfs what anybody else pays in the world per capita we're paying. two or three or four times what other European nations do, and we're getting worse outcomes.

I read one, you know, there's many ways of calculating where we are in the world. You say we're 60th in life expectancy. There's other indicia that you look at, child, infant mortality, maternal mortality, cancer, chronic disease. But by one of these, you know, reasonable metrics. We're 79th in the world in healthcare outcomes. We're behind Mongolia, we're behind Cuba, we're behind Costa Rica.

When I was a kid, we had the best healthcare system in the world. People came all over the world to see American doctors, but more importantly, that level of healthcare was available to every class of Americans. Oh yeah, we have some good specialists here now, but the care that Americans get when they are sick, if they get any at all, is some of the worst in the world.

And we have the highest chronic disease burden on earth. Nobody has chronic disease. The COVID epidemic was really a bellwether for us. It was an eye-opener. We had 16% of the COVID deaths in this country. We only have 4.2% of the global population. So why did we have so many COVID deaths?

Well, one was just terrible mismanagement of the COVID epidemic, including denying people access to therapeutic drugs that were proven to work. But more importantly, we had the highest chronic disease burden. So CDC says... The average American who died from COVID had 3.8 chronic diseases. Yeah. And it was the chronic disease that was killing them. That's right. Obesity, chronic disease.
