  Speaker 1: All right. To put a bow on this Washington trip,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I have to say the one point I really want
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to hit home, and that I did with the lawmakers
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and their staffers earlier this week, is this that when
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it comes to March fourteenth and the possible government shutdown,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: first of all, keep the funding for those who really
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: need it, for those who need the insurance, who need
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: medical supplies, who need research, to make sure that those
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: who have to go to the hospital for something the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: doctors have answers. That's what research is for is and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to have the answers so made, those types of funding
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: be protected. But the main point I want to say
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: here on the one leg Up Network to end the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: week is this patient doctor relationship is the most important
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: thing you could think of. And that's why I say
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that these resolutions, the four I mentioned earlier in the week,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the Safe Step Act, the Help Copays Act, the Medical
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Nutrition Therapy Act, and even the Food Labelization Modernization Act
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: should all be not only reintroduced but past but beyond that,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: these should be passed with the intent of helping the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: saber community, not for some showy thing, but for for
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for real change here and I know the capitals in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the background to make a point that Washington should do
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: one big thing for people with disabilities and all of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: us for healthcare. May it never allow that doctors and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: patient relationships never be interfered with ever. So, whatever you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: think of your political view, we can all agree on
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: one thing to end the week, that the patient doctor
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: relationship should not be interfered by insurance bureaucratic red tape.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Insurance serves a purpose, but it's not to interfere. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to end the week, I say this one more time,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: ease frustration through legislation on the WOLD look Up Network.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I'm Alex Garrett. We'll talk to you soon.
