I wish it were. I wish we are having a real conversation about what that means. Because what that means in my view, is that we will do even as they maintenance of effort we have been doing. But i think devolution means we will be doing less. Less of maintenance, less of new capacity building.

And maybe thats a deeper stretch for country, or declines in the amount of commercial goods movement. But we are expecting expansion increases in both of those areas. And so its like what do we get about this . It is not, i promise there will be more expensive for us to doddle around for years and years and years and it would be to just bite the bullet, develop a strategy, stick to the strategy, a now because its going to be a lot cheaper than trying to pay later.

You have the slides. Im not going to go through them individually, but you saw 2010 was a big year for provisions affecting employmentbased coverage. 2014 was a big year for provisions affecting employmentbased coverage, and even to 2018 you have the excise tax on Health Care Plans on horizon also known as cal tax, which well talk about in a few minutes, and a few provisions that didnt have effectiveness dates in the legislation that employers may have to address at some point.

When commissioner pai and i disagreed last year on the way the slick lawyers were trying to take advantage of our rules on broadcasting. We are going to fix this. These are rules that have been in place since the bush administration. As the commissioner said weve got a rule making under way on this. We are going to issue a new Public Notice on this to make sure that this specific issue is teed up. And we are going to make sure that this that designated entities have the opportunity to participate and not to have designated as period beards for people who shouldnt. And senator i want you to know that ive been pushing for change in this since 2010. Its been a constant refrain from me to ensure more opportunities in the space. As you know, as was said, we are reviewing those applications. No final nothing final has been said. People have an opportunity to weigh in. Great. Thank you. Important issue.
