Yeah.
Yeah, there seems to be some real parallels there between the arguments for single-payer health care as well, that the government would then be incentivized to do preventive medicine and to invest in clinics and primary care to try to make it so that people go to the ER less, which has also been better for society.
People don't want to get sick.
People don't want their houses to burn down.
I would imagine that one of the
criticisms or the questions that you get, this is the thing that occurs to me, is okay, but what about that house that's in the area that has burned down six times in the last 10 years or whatever?
That's a very real problem.
Yeah, I was just going to add.
I randomly did a long investigation to the NFIP, the National Flood Insurance Program, a while back.
And what Ryan is saying is a real thing, at least with the NFIP, is that you have a house that keeps getting rebuilt like 20 times in some cases in a very dangerous flood zone, which it's not just a problem for the rates.
It puts people's lives at risk.
So sorry, Ryan, to interrupt.
No, I think Emily and I have the same question.
If you have a publicly run, if you have a public option or a single-payer system,
How do you make sure that the public isn't helping somebody, you know, build a house on stilts every year?
Oh, because currently you have to spend it right there?
Right.
No, it's a no-brainer.
Come on.
Come on, California.
