were posing to the white political order that in a way it was a very political -- to get back to alondra's quote -- it was health being politicized in the name of maintaining the status quo. so part of what i think we're saying is that the it's important to get treatment, to get help, to talk to your doctors, but also to be aware always of the politics of the health care system that can kind of shape those disparities. >> well, we're at the end of this wonderful conversation, and i really appreciate the audience participation in this because you've helped raise the level of the conversation. let's give a hand to our panelists.
