the most recent cbo score of that -- site neutrality, yes. the most recent score of that is 150 $1 billion in savings over 10 years and that is the entire health care system. it is not just savings within medicare, it will have an impact on other programs as well as the private sector. there are lots of examples of that of paying differently for services. >> can you provide those services to me? >> we will do that. there is also the adjustments made every year between fee for service in medicare and medicare advantage. and the legislative commission, i appoint the members, one for medicare, one for medicaid. in the medpac area they estimate there are over payments being made to the managed-care portion of $40 billion. so we have recommendations to make that a fair comparison so we are not overpaying. >> thank you. i yield back. >> sorry. thank you, mr. chairman. you said today, quote, there is a need for change would how we do so matters. i cannot agree with you more. we need to ensure our government and its agencies and programs are running
