Well, I mean, as many of you may have seen, the Trump administration put out a press release saying that they were continuing, put out a statement, I think, saying that they were continuing with the drug price negotiation. We have, again, the legal authorities that must be followed. We also have all of the guidances and regulations that have been put into place that lay the framework for

for how negotiation will be done. And my hope is that as this program continues to mature, that there continues to be that dialogue of what are our common goals in healthcare and how can we all work together to achieve them?

Absolutely. I mean, I will say there is definitely a lot of uncertainty. There is a lot of change happening. And in times like these, it is so important for us to return to the fundamentals. Why do we go into health care? We want to have a positive impact on people, on our communities, on their lives. And how can we maintain that focus, that North Star, as we are navigating headwinds?

I will say, one of the reasons that I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to come to Maryland, alongside it being my longstanding home state, is because states really are a laboratory for innovation. Being at a state level, you're really close to the ground with your communities to be able to forge new partnerships and connections, for example, between food and healthcare,

or health care or workforce training and health care institutions. There's just those opportunities to really connect the dots and innovate that can be more difficult at a federal level where you are higher up and looking across the entire country.

Alongside that important role that states play, there's a very important role that the federal government plays.
