Concierge some of the what is the word im looking for if you have cancer, catastrophic injuries, diabetes, lgbtq health, opioid use, pain management, all of those things are triggers for us to outreach to a member. And then on july 1st of this year, we also launched an enhanced program that is a digital experience for members. It is individualized based on their health care needs. I didnt put that information on here, but thought i would offer it up. And that is designed to treat the whole member and give them an individualized health and wellness pass. Its based on, if i log into the program or access it from my phone, and i put in my scores and my Blood Pressure and things like that, it will help and then any other identifying factors for a health care condition, it will create an individualized health care and wellness path for that member and give them access to several different applications that are housed on our app, so they can be successful in their wellness journey.

These people came from all around california. They set up these gongs, cancer survivors all laid down, covered in blank kicks, et cetera et cetera, and they gong for 40 minutes and it was amazing. So that was a really wonderful thing, but it took me 20 phone calls and just actually showing up to get through so that its not a seamless kind of thing.

I heard a great comment about navigating through kaisers site and going through questionnaire, having to answer your own data, but this does is not unlike if you have had Google Photos or any other app in
Committee will come to order. Without objection the chair is authorized to declare a vereces of the committee at any time. This full Committee Hearing is convened regarding the administration ee administrations attack on the aca. I recognize myself for five minutes to give an Opening Statement. We are hear today because of on march 25th, 2019, the Trump Administration filed a two sentence letter with the United States court of appeals with the fifth circuit reversing its own previous position in the case of texas versus United States and asserting for the first time that it would not defend any portion of the Affordable Care act in the court. If the Trump Administrations position prevails and the entire aca is struck down, there will be catastrophic implications for millions of americans in the entire United States Health Care System.
