Q the people on the pod right now, and they live with that fear. We don't live with that fear. We know if we need to get healthcare, we're going to figure it out. We'll be able to pay for it out of pocket, or insurance will pay for it, but there are people who go bankrupt because of this. You believe in universal healthcare, I would assume, as a doctor?
A I want everyone to have access to healthcare, but how we pay for it is the defining issue here. How do you keep the system incentivized to take care of you? If I tell everybody, In America that you have health care, and then I tell the doctors, give them health care, but they don't deal with the financial costs, then you all of a sudden start to restrict the access to care. So you can get the health care, like you do in socialized medicine countries, you just have to wait six months or a year or longer, or you don't get the care at all. And when you start having that discussion with Americans, they say, wait, wait, wait, hold on a second. Yes, of course I want to get the health care for an affordable price. But the question, the fundamental question is, how long till I actually get the care?
