Those you know, those tax limits I is interesting.

I think one of the you know the other aspects is gonna be

As you know, it used to be that you would generally just have taxes that were, you know, just all the providers in a class are getting taxed at this rate, with some limited exceptions where you'd go get a waiver.

And CMS does allow waivers, but I do think some provide some states are going to become more reliant on waivers, both from the payment side, from the tax side and the payment side, because if you're trying to

you know, shape the the delivery of funds to different communities, you've got to use different tools that are still available.

And I think those waivers will probably be one, but I think you're going to see increased scrutiny on the waivers.

I think there was language on that in the

the bill and there was a rule passed before the bill that addressed some of the, you know, tightening up on on waiver requirements.

Um, but you know, generally if you, you know, want to find a if you want to find a way to make it happen, you can generally make it happen.

But I think these rules are are going to make it more challenging.

But what that's done is, and I think part of what Kat was alluding to here is that

the the political machine is starting to come into play where individual providers and individual communities in certain states with perhaps powerful senators or members of the House of Representatives are saying, Hey, whoa, what about this?

What about this?

And I think we're starting to see some whittling on the edges for these.

And I think that's really going to be the the biggest way that they affect change in in these is through the the uh

the political process rather than through the comment process.

Although I do think, you know, everybody's working on comments right now for the payment rule.

And I think there will ultimately be litigation on that rule and different aspects of it.

Um, you know, there there's a big one where it, you know, it clearly goes outside of the scope of the uh

the statute by expanding these payment reductions to a every class of providers rather than just the four original classes of providers.
