All right. Uh, welcome. My name is Divine. Uh, this is episode six hundred and fifty-four of the Divine Intervention podcast. And into this podcast, I'm gonna be tackling the topic that I like to title, uh, the Clutch Health Insurance Podcast. The Clutch Health Insurance Podcast. Uh, basically, I wanna...
