doctor hunter, the prior chief medical examiner. the death certificate itself, the cause and manner of death is issued very quickly, typically within the first ten days. and then the actual final report which often times may be pending further toxicology testing, or may additional investigation. that has taken a longer period of time. the name standard is to issued the final determination and report, 90% within 90 days. our goal continues to reach that. we have particularly difficult time doing that in 2018, after the department move to the new location. all of our forensic laboratory equipment was being recertified. we fell very behind in that part of it. during the last two quarters of the last fiscal year we are now regularly the average of completing a toxicology testing is down to 71 days. that has enabled us to be much closer to issuing that report within the 90 day window. we haven't finalized all of that to give you a concrete exact where we are as a last quarter. that is part of what we're doing now. all of which is to say,

host: let you explain what the washington examiner is so the caller knows about your publication. guest: we mostly cover domestic policy, but i have done stories looking at what other countries are doing. one thing that's important to point out is that the single payer systems in some of these other countries are very different than what bernie sanders and elizabeth warren are proposing for medicare for aufment they are looking at a much more again benefits package where people would not have to pay anything out of pocket for their health insurance. other countries that's not necessarily true. other countries there is also still a role for private health insurance. i agree, i think it's important to hear from people who reside in these other contrifments host: an interesting idea. dave out of michigan. independent. good morning. caller: good morning. kimberly, i have a question the other former caller had it spoke a little bit about it. it seems to me like this country is having a problem getting everybody onboard if i'm not wrong. canadian people seem to be -- they are all in. y
