How will the American Health Care Act affect the patients you serve at CareMore?
I think that taking better care of high-cost, high-need patients is as bipartisan an issue as there is right now in American healthcare.

In any scenario where we start to look at changing the healthcare system I think there’s going to be a focus on how to do the things that we do better and at scale, so I’m not particularly worried about the policy changes and the changing environment right now, because I think there is a bipartisan recognition that we need to do better around chronic disease management. We need to do better on managing the sickest of the sick.
