So we are really delighted to have the opportunity to welcome each and every one of you and particularly pleased to welcome dr. Patrick conway. I thought before professor introducing dr.

So we are really just delighted to have you with us.

Of an individual market command i think when individuals have the choice and see the cost scale between the different options, they are willing to make decisions about taking a narrowera narrower set of choices or this particular set of providers because i understand the value tradeoff equation is my expense. That is different than when your employer makes the choice for you. So there are different Market Conditions today which allows more of the kaiser type model to flourish again. One more question. Thank you. I will ask another question. The question is, already talked about patient outcomes. The diabetics improving the Cancer Patients living longer . We have outcomes, the things that we measure. Diabetics are Getting Better in terms of the standard measures. We dont yet have mortality data on that. The ecology area is near where the Measurement Development is earlier. But i have no doubt that patients are healthier. We are seeing results headed in the right direction, but it is ear
This is a classical case of a dictator in the golden cage where he is allpowerful, mega reach, as long as his staying power, and walking away is really in case of putin its probably host you write about some of the corporate entities that go to russia and essentially are apologists for Vladimir Putin and the current regime. Guest the fact that corporations, whether americans or europeans, always look for profits and avoid human rights and domestic repression conducted by dictatorships. Its not new. Im reading a book about the studios in nazi germany. For years have been selling movies, titles and accepted in censorship, cutting lines and throwing some movies if not to propaganda, disprove them. So unfortunately its a reality, and what is required is a very clear red line going by the government to what can be done, what should not be done, and unfortunately, all these economic about economic tools, call weapons, yet to be used. Sanctions against putins russia, in my view, are very mild
Down front here, please. Thanks very much. A fascinating discussion. I write the mitchell report. I want to focus if i can specifically on the jihadi and isis sort of cluster and pose two questions if i can. One is as opposed to far right radicals or neonazis, et cetera. Some of us have attended sessions in this very room on the role of messaging and counternarratives and i would be interested to know particularly as i listen to what angela had to say about how you would do this successfully, im interested to know whether and to what extent you think messaging and counternarratives can have some success in this process of keeping people from stepping over the edge. And then second, if its appropriate or if theres time, im interested to know how you evaluate the considerable work that the saudis do on this issue and how you evaluate that. Okay. So we have a question about the ethicacy of countermessaging and then about the saudis. Obviously there is a long tradition of deradicalization
From you guys who are, you know, in it. What you think would make the biggest difference. What you think would be most helpful. Since you asked it, why dont you i feel it is very taboo to speak about it in the native american communities, especially the older adults might think that it is. But i think the youth are really ready to speak about it. I feel there should be a little bit more support in the school system. Some of the schools ive actually got to work with on the reservation, they dont really have afterschool programs. They are like really strict on education, but there is really nothing that can connect you to your culture after school or keep to your traditions after school. I feel some of these are very important to youth. And there might be some kind of cultural identity or identity loss. Some of them might be confused and feel like theres no help. So the only situation the only like logical explanation they might think is maybe suicide. And for me i want to, i guess, prev
