Best practices within the ihs system itself and shared those and incense vized the ability to move that kind of activity that is providing highquality care for individuals in that system, in certain areas, and making certain that were able to extend that across the country in the ihs. Okay. We look forward to working with you on that. I think Best Practices is a good place to start. Obviously, those have not been employed in a lot of facilities in our state. In 2009, cms issued a final rule that required all Outpatient Therapeutic Services to be provided under direct supervision every year since then. The rule has been delayed. Either administratively or legislatively in small and rural hospitals. I shared this with you as well. In my statement we have a lot of critical access hospitals, rural areas, big geography to cover, and sometimes difficult to get providers out to these areas. So, the question is, if confirmed, will you work to
charge of some of these issues in a way that remove
message that was broad-based. i think that s the way forward for anyone. if you build broad-based coalitions you ll do well in the state of georgia. that goes back to some of the senators we ve had in the past that they won on their own merits because they had the right tone. you look at senator isaacson and then also senator sam nunn. those were people of strong character and they didn t have to worry about having runoff races because they had broad-based appeal. and so at the end of the day i think the governor and i both showed this is how you win going forward, having broad-based coalitions that can really carry a state. georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger, good luck to you tomorrow. i m hoping for an event-free and smooth sailing day in georgia. and you at home, be sure to join cnn tomorrow for our special coverage of the georgia runoff and the results. coverage starts at 4:00 p.m. eastern and we ll go until we have a winner. coming up, russians fighting
