You don't even know.

I mean, how much will you have to pay the government?

Will you get your Medicare receivables, you know, for the next two years or three years?

So, you know, it's not, it's a minefield and it's a very complicated area, but I have to think that in the right case on the right facts, private sector

company is going to have at least a bankruptcy court that's going to want to try to work this out so they don't have to go through the whole administrative process.

Maybe it's by preventing recoupment.

I don't know.

But can a bankruptcy court do that?

Who knows?

Yeah, well, I should say...

You know, I'm not with the government, so I'm definitely not speaking for the government strategy, but I do understand, and I think it's public record in at least the Stewart case.

I'm not sure if they publicly took the position in the other two cases yet or at all, but in the Stewart case, at least the public position was

Assuming this is a license, a statutory entitlement, then the way you decide under button, really, whether that license can be assigned and what is required to assign it is by looking at the statute that created the license.

And this is the Medicare Act, and it's the Medicare Act, and it's accompanying regulations that require the acquisition to be with successor liability.

It's an argument.

I don't think it's ever seen the light of day with the court.

And, you know, there certainly is a question mark about how courts would treat it, both bankruptcy level and higher.

But I do think that the government's position on this seems to be highly pragmatic, which is refreshing in some ways.

And I think that what that position essentially derives from is, well, it's an understanding, I think, first of all, that when we talk about success or liability, a lot of times we're not talking about apples and apples.
