That bell being running, then i believe that as youre doing this in terms of leadership function, we run the risk of really losing an enterprise is that the United States essentially pioneered. In terms of another priority that i think youre starting to hear a little bit about, we have to put patients at the center of this. So if you look at the statistics we have 7,000 diseases. Yet, we have treatments for, i believe, dr. Collins, 500 of those. The system is doing its work. Its churning through the science and getting the outcomes to the doors of the fda. The fda is doing its work and then we get some approvals and we put that out into the system. But at the rate were going, i dont think that any of the diseases that were all going to be afflicted with at some point in time really stand a chance of being covered in the near term. So i think the speed issue thats been articulated by many of you is of critical importance. So i think as this group does its work, figuring out what are tho

I think we are finding places on the mandatory side where we are reducing spending and i think i wanted to respond to your earlier point where we are stopping spending, with 4 4 million of reduction in medicare and medicaid and prop insurance and programs.

If the trend continues under the new policy, this is really important question to look into further. I certainly think that is one that would give us a lot of information because if youre using it for certain types of hospitals, is it cardiac hospitals . That would be very interesting to look at variances between 10 and 70 . I want to go to another area where there seems to be a lot of variance. In your testimony under page five underneath of the appeals you note that about 72 of those who appeal are successful. And yet, we keep on hearing this number of 7 . Theres, a real disparity there.
