Some of our healthcare systems are hard, and challenging, and I think that it’s time that we have a change. I think there’s maybe a little bit of debate as to when those turn from being just normal age related changes to then being something more, but it happens in many different areas of healthcare.

Healthcare, just the way healthcare is structured, that’s not something that’s feasible unless there’s a specific symptom management need that allows for more care, but just to provide simple care doesn’t exist.
