We just went through a lot of clients and, you know, we coach commercial and benefits, but a lot of our benefit clients just got their asses kicked in Q4. It was a tough renewal season. What does that mean for predictive care and its importance in 2026 with all of this going on? How important is it that that brokers look at something like this?
Yeah, well, obviously it's super important, but, like, preventive care is one of those things that, like, on the quadrant of what's urgent and what's high priority is like, it's been one of those things that's super important but not that urge. Feels like it feels like some of this, we could keep kicking the can and kicking the can and kicking the can. And I think a lot of people are finally having the realization that this is like, we're on an untenable course and we're going to put our organization into harm's way if we don't do anything about the cost of our benefits. And it just can't be a runaway train every year.
