Fair question. I think it already sucks, I think it sucks for a lot of good people. I think it sucks for a lot of well-being companies. I think it even sucks for those working at big healthcare companies who have unbelievable earnings calls to answer to a quarterly basis, and any pivot away from this business model is likely to hurt their bottom line, and get them fired, and so a lot of actual people are going to be hurt in the process of things moving in a better direction.
