And this is a

fundamentally important reality, at least at CMS.

David, I don't know how it is in developing AI, where there probably wasn't a rule book before anyway.

But in healthcare, there have been doctors since the dawn of... Since humans left Africa 50,000 years ago, there were doctors in the encampment.

And so there is a way of doing things.

And in government, that exists as well.

But it's not always the right way to do things.

So for example, we have the ability to make laws.

Every part of the administration pretty much can.

We get Congress to do stuff.

It doesn't always turn out the way you want it to turn out, and it takes a lot of time.

And the negotiated final result sometimes falls short.

You have rulemaking, second big area, which is administrative entities like ours can write the rules that everyone has to follow.

We're going to pay you this much.

We're not going to let these people do that anymore.

It does take some time, and it's prone to lawfare.

By that I mean the people you're regulating, if they don't like what you're saying, they can sue you and they can stop you.

And in this administration, if the other party doesn't like what you're doing, even if it's the best thing, we had a rule that would reduce fraud.

But the blue cities didn't like it because it was coming from someone they didn't like, the president.

So they enjoined it, and that's now caught up in court.
