We have despite the salary savings, that is not coming from our inability to fill our clinical positions, although that is a very serious issue for us.

Chinese develop die diabetes so china has a huge epidemic of diabetes so theyre at higher risk and i think thats an important thing to point out because somebody might not be obese, but are at a higher risk. Thats not reflected in a document at this point. We are going to come back with an action plan, but we have detailed work in that specific area. Yes. My only other critique which is sort of my usual editorial thing is that if youre going to have a document that says what works in partners and strategies, maybe you want to keep the same format for all your points because it seems to vary depending on which section were looking at.

And mouths dropped open, and coverage california is significantly more expensive than the healthy San Francisco program.
