So, tell me what it's like to testify in front of the Senate.
What is that like?
Man, it was pretty wild.
It all transpired so fast.
I got a call from Cali Means.
We've become pretty good buddies.
I know you're having him and his sister Casey on the podcast.
Brilliant folks that are just patient advocates.
I mean, at the end of the day, they had the same experience as I had.
Cali, a little bit different walk of life.
He was a lobbyist.
Casey was a doctor, Stanford-trained surgeon.
Realized that she was in a system where they didn't really heal people.
They just treated symptoms and profiteered off disease states.
And she said, there's got to be a better way.
So, their voice rung so loud after I think they did Tucker that it led to momentum.
And then because of you having me on the podcast, that's how I met RFK.
And so, Bobby's team had reached out to me maybe about a year and a half ago to come up to Dallas while he was doing a campaign there and sit down with him.
And he was just asking 100 questions about what's going on and what did you see on the pharmaceutical side and what did you see owning pharmacies and billing insurance companies.
And so, when they had an opportunity to put this team together to testify in front of the Senate, the goal was to create a nonpartisan group of individuals to take a new, fresh approach to what is going on with chronic disease in America.
