He was just asking me about, well, I'm going to have to sell my house in order to fund what might come down the pike as far as being at home with services. I was trying to get an understanding of how he viewed his wife actually going through the thing that we're watching in the moment.

And the last thing anybody needs is to be having to do more without really a clear... understanding of the purpose around it, right? And we are all for cost effectiveness. We want that to work. We also want to provide care irrespective of someone's religious, political, or other beliefs. And yet, you know, we have to work within a system that we kind of
