Regulate and have transparency for limited network plans. Because they are and im familiar with some anecdotes where say in ophthalmology, which i know fairly well where the issue about retina specialists was raised. And, you know, through the academy of ophthalmology went to the insurer who i think just responded. Oh, we didnt know that. So we will make sure to put some retina specialists in the plan. So i think its just discovery that this is an issue. And i would say yes, you know, the detail that is going to be needed in some specialties will probably have to go by sub specialty. And it is going to make it more complex but this is going to be a big part of our market environment. So we mights well ju as well ju that. Anybody else . Brian. It does vary by state. But some do a deep dive and they go down to specialists, subspecialists. Not at medicare venues though. We dont get to regulate that. So were excluded. Yes, go right ahead.

Distinction. Well, it was certainly a purpose that went into the majority district but it was not the predominant motive. I understand that. Dont you have to use race to comply with section 5 . Thats right. Is there any way to comply with section 5 without using race . There is not. But you dont have to use race in this way, mr. Brasher. Nobody would say that section 5 required you to maintain a 78 district and a 78 district was no longer needed with respect to a groups ability to elect a candidate of choice. I respectfully disagree with that. Once again, we followed the same preclearance strategy that georgia followed in 2005. Congress made a record in 2006 to try to reauthorize section 5. Georgias plan from 2005 which kept all their majority black districts all the same was a good thing. We did the same thing in this redistricting cycle that other states did, we did the same thing that the plaintiffs did when they were in charge of the legislature in 2001. Theres been some inconsiste
