My father, being the entrepreneur and hard worker he is, teaching his kids their values, he started working as a carpenter and electrician. He made ends meet for his family. It was those lessons around the table with my father in particular, who would constantly remind me of the importance of freedom and democracy in america, and how we have a responsibility to preserve these values. Taughts something i have to my kids about as well. Steve your parents are still alive . Mercedes they are. In my family, he was one of the earliest supporters of President Trump. He would tell us, you know, he just speak his mind, and i respect my command have to say what this man has to say and the direction he wants to take this country. For a long time, this country is going in the wrong direction. He says that our freedoms are being constrained and that it is important for us to make sure we have the ability to freely speak our minds, encouraged debate and discussion. The topics that we used to discuss
Yes, in the very back there. Wait for the microphone. Safe foundation. Sir, i was impressed with your presentation. Now, i have a more fundamental question about the government of the United States and the people who control this country, the right and the left both together. Now, the kind of activities we are engaged in at this time, the spying on american citizens, the entire war crimes that we are committing all over the world, all these things, 20, 30 years from now we will be very, very ashamed as we are ashamed of the things that were being done in the 50s and 60s by those who controlled our government. How do we change this . We are continuously doing such tremendous amount of activities which are inhuman and barbaric. One of the themes and we could have a separate discussion of how bad the conduct of one or another American Government is at any given time, but i think one of the themes that we bring out from today is that if you cant speak freely about, it you cant document it,
So to give you a sense of why that really diminishes the incentives, if you think about an aco increasing spending during a Contract Period, medicare shared savings program, aco for example that isnt facing any Downside Risk, they are penalized for doing that. And it increases their benchmark for the following Contract Period and then they can receive a shared savings bonus for doing nothing. Under the pioneer program, they are penalized for doing more, but again theres that offsetting effect by the benchmark going up and the subsequent Contract Period, so for pioneer acos the incentives are more akin to fee for service with a lag. Then, thinking about the fixed costs of investing in systems to actually control spending, the rebasing is that much more of a problem because it may be hard for acos to recoup their investments of investing in the right systems. So that is one challenge. And i know sean and his team is working hard on a revamped proposed rule for the shared savings program.
