I think this will be the president with the lowest mandate to do anything in my whole life. So I think what they will tackle is not getting impeached. I don't expect a very activist healthcare agenda for the next four to eight years. Remember, we've had a really activist healthcare agenda for the last eight. We had the HITECH Act, we had the ACA, ObamaCare We've had the meaningful use, we've had something called meep, something called macro. All of these federal programs big rewards and big penalties with rules changing constantly is may very very Very, very sort of trench battle time for doctors in hospitals, vis a vis the federal government. So I expect the next chapter will be kind of a digestion of all that new policy. And not a lot of change. The only thing I could imagine is some work around the edges on the minimum definition of what healthcare is. What insurance means. So as These prices go up, the government may make it legal to have a little bit less coverage for a person who can't afford the unlimited everything coverage, maybe. I'm gonna assume that if we have really high economic growth they might Fight the deductible thing that I describe earlier, this raising of the deductible. But probably not, they probably need those consumer deductibles to make it all pens sold out. So, I'm imagining kind of a silencing of the federal a role and expulsion of the healthcare system role The local health plan's role, and I think, the employer's role. I think those things will start to spike up as the sort of roar from Washington dampens down. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
