Great.
Thanks, Augie.
So my name is Sam Maisel.
I'm with Denton's US LLP.
I'm resident in the Los Angeles office and I direct our distressed healthcare efforts nationally.
And as Augie said, I write and speak on bankruptcy and restructuring issues related to healthcare frequently and have been doing this for about 30 years.
First at the US Department of Justice.
Augie had the same job I did years later because I'm old.
And
And we had the opportunity to litigate these issues we're about to talk about against each other for years before Augie went back into the private sector.
So look, I mean, this is an important issue for health lawyers and the American Health Lawyers Association.
And it's important because bankruptcy can change the balance of power in a dispute with Medicare and Medicaid in a significant way.
We're going to talk about the weaknesses and the strengths of arguments.
You know, I don't want to make believe it's some magic bean that gets you out of all the issues you'd like to get out of.
But
In many ways, restructuring and the bankruptcy code does provide a way to rebalance the dispute with Medicare and Medicaid.
You know, in Medicare and Medicaid disputes, normally you have exhaustion of administrative remedies as a bar before you can even get in front of a judge.
If you get in front of a federal judge, it seems that they might be more predisposed to agree with a government lawyer than a bankruptcy judge is.
So in lots of respects, government lawyers find the forum a bit unfavorable.
Outside of bankruptcy, Medicare has recoupment rights, which are virtually unassailable.
