Yeah. So, you know, we're coming up into a, well, we're meshed in an election coming up here. And, you know, what kind of message do we, you know, who've been in the healthcare environment, what is it that we want to say to our listening audience when you're dealing with elections In this case, you're dealing with politicians and health.

Is it more complicated today than it was yesterday?

Erin, I want to get your insight into this, you know, from a younger generation. Are you there, Erin?

Yeah. So what do you think about when, you know, when, when you're thinking about electing officials or leaders, what's in your head, Erin?

I have to let it go. So here's another aspect of that story I was telling you about when I was standing in line with that person. We're standing in line to see, ready, the Declaration of Independence.

Okay. Okay. Wow. And I said, you know, and I said to this woman, I said, well, you know, the government is us. And I said, you will see it in a minute. We, the people.

Okay. Okay. Wow. And I said, you know, and I said to this woman, I said, well, you know, the government is us. And I said, you will see it in a minute. We, the people.

Okay. So, but I think, and maybe incorrectly, but I think where we've gotten is that government is on one side of the equation and we, the public, are on the other. And excuse me, the government is us because we elect these people to help us, to represent us. And I think that disconnect is what's hurting us.

I think a lot of people see the word, consider the word government as maybe overbearing or as negative. And that's unfortunate. So, all right. Barry, last comments on this. I mean, we could go on and on about this, but I think... Oh, by the way, we're going to have... Our next show will be linked with this, and I'll talk about that in a minute. Go ahead, Barry.

So, you know, last thought for me is I think the issues of politics and health are much more linked today with the concept of power. And whether that's power with our political leaders, if it's power within agencies, if it's power at the state, local levels, et cetera. And I believe that the public doesn't appreciate that. And it gets in the way. I think this is my opinion.

I think it gets in the way of us moving ahead in a healthy way when there's more power involved with it. And to your point previously, Clarence, you know, power is linked with money and et cetera. And so maybe we need to kind of go back a little bit and do a little bit more reflecting and maybe embrace some things, ideas and concepts that are healthier going forward.

So this is a conversation that perhaps we could address after the elections take place. And we could say, okay, we talked about it before the elections. Now, these are the leaders that we have. What implications does this now have going forward. So stay tuned on that. We can take a look at that. So thank you, Barry. Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, Clarence. This is a great conversation.
