This is a YouTube video titled "Could Free Internet Improve Our Health?" containing a monologue or single-speaker discussion from May 12, 2020. The speaker reflects on the impact of internet access and 5G technology on healthcare, emphasizing the importance of free internet as a utility to reduce missed medical appointments and improve wellness, while also acknowledging disparities in resources among Americans during the pandemic.

How do you think that medicine is going to be different after this? I mean, as I said, I think there's going to be a lot of changes. And if I was King or something, where I'd be investing in is I think that 5G and internet should be a free utility for all Americans. And I say that because why should there be any more snow days? why should patients who, you know, whose transportation couldn't get here, why should that result in a missed appointment? Yeah. In terms of information and sharing, right? I mean, for the person that needs delivery of medicines or food or things of this nature. And again, this did not affect all Americans equally, as you know, Mark. I mean, people like you and I are fairly, I think, blessed in terms of not just in health but also resources. a paycheck for us to work at home, you know, is a minor inconvenience. There are many people that don't have that luxury that have to be out there and don't have a space where they could isolate or quarantine. So I think this also has unmasked a lot of opportunities for improvement, as we talked about, and that's your big important in terms of wellness and secondary wellness. and I think it also has made us more reflective.
