Stu LackeyGUEST
I mean, I'm sure you've heard about some of the cancer vaccine breakthroughs that have, have recently, um, occurred and, you know, um, I think it will be very, very likely that we're all gonna have the opportunity to live much longer than we currently do because of, because of science and technology breakthroughs.

Stu LackeyGUEST
So how do you afford that? So Fidelity publishes, um, an updated report every summer.

Gary LelandHOST
So when she retires someday, I'm sure she's gonna have to, like, kind of do the medical stuff on her own, you know? So is this the kind of thing that someone in that situation, I know you don't know everything about her situation, but just as a general, they would be good to do so that they have this Bitcoin invested at an older age?

Jon GordonGUEST
So that's a lot of the root cause for me is then ultimately the money being broken.

Stu LackeyGUEST
You know, I spent 20 years in the device industry, medical device industry, Nick.

Stu LackeyGUEST
And, you know, the thing about surgical medical device in the U.S., again, we lead in innovation, right? And no one would ever disparage innovation and new technology as it relates to health.

Stu LackeyGUEST
But what we've created is a system that largely functions on innovation around reimbursements, right? And so you mentioned Medicare rates, but some of these commercial contracts, their percent of bill charges are cost plus.

Stu LackeyGUEST
And the more they charge for an implant in some of these contracts, Um, the more they get reimbursed and think about that.

Jon GordonGUEST
So maybe, Stu, you can address the second part of that question on unit of account and how folks are thinking about Bitcoin versus dollars within their HSA.

Lynne BairstowHOST
So I think it's a great starting point to just clarify exactly what it is and what benefits it gives for someone to have tax-advantaged savings.

Stu LackeyGUEST
And ostensibly what it allows, Lynn, is for an individual or a family to invest – tax advantage dollars into an account designated for eligible health and wellness expenses.

Stu LackeyGUEST
Who determines that eligibility? What makes something eligible? The IRS updates a growing list of eligible health and wellness expenses every year.

Stu LackeyGUEST
And so when the HSA first was launched, you can imagine that that list was more streamlined, had less that was covered.

Stu LackeyGUEST
And now you can use your HSA for pretty much anything from a health and wellness standpoint.

Lynne BairstowHOST
to do for you and John? How are you defining success? Like if you were to look out five years from now, what would it be to have Sound HSA a success? What does that mean? Is it number of members? Is it the growth in the accounts that your clients have? Personally, what would that definition be for you and John?
