Right.
Yeah, I think I think for sure.
I think um hospitals and states will have to work with CMS to find another permissible source of financing if if these changes come about.
One, if provider taxes are cut as intended under OB3, and two, if these, you know, if CMS prevails in these lawsuits ultimately.
I do think, you know, we're going to have to tread lightly though.
Like, you know, as we were discussing earlier, anytime you have a source of state financing for a Medicaid dollar, well, we need to make sure that is a good and compliant source of a Medicaid dollar.
You and I both believe that provider taxes are a good source of that Medicaid dollar.
Medicine.
But if that is no longer the best.
Source, then let's work with the federal government and let's collaborate and see what is a good source.
What would they prefer?
Yeah.
Um, and how we how can we do that in a compliant way?
Um I do.
I think that there is, you know, obviously a lot of uncertainty in healthcare right now, but it's also a very exciting time to do what we do as you know, um, Medicaid attorneys because there is opportunity to
maybe get creative and collaborate between the state and federal government.
I I don't think that, you know.
I I know I have mentioned that I think parts of OB3 are dire.
I don't think it's anyone's intent to hurt healthcare, right?
Like we want everyone can be jointly aligned that we want to improve healthcare in the United States.
