If you look at health care expenditure per person against life expectancy, what you'll notice is all the OECD countries, all 37 developed countries, you know, they're sort of keeping themselves to the, you know, within the pack here. But we fell off the rails here in 1980 and have just been going off ever since. And as you know, lifespan is actually going down for the last five years in a row. And this is the reason, because everyone wants the pill. And I am here to tell you, there is no pill. There never will be a pill. There can't be a pill. And the reason is because there's no pill that can get to where the problem is. There is a problem and we know where it is and no medicine gets there. We're going to talk about that as we go. The only way to deal with this is prevention. But of course, nobody believes in prevention. Everybody wants the pill. So this is not going to get better. It's only going to get worse for this reason.
