When someone comes into my office and they have low thyroid levels, for me to treat them with thyroid replacement hormone is not a political choice, It's a clinical choice. However, If whether it's a Republican or a Democrat or an Independent makes the ability to produce thyroid hormone too expensive or so much problematic that we are facing shortages, suddenly becomes a political problem. But to me, that's still a clinical problem because to me, I'm not worried about which party's doing it. They're just creating a clinical problem in my world. (30:47–31:03)
