one, if you could answer to the best you can, i understand that on march 21st, 2014, hhs issued a proposed rule for making payments that are required by law under the reinsurance program. it's my understanding that this rule accurately reflects what was required by statute. the payments being made in three areas, one to the treasurer, insurance companies and to cover administration costs, is that correct? >> i believe so. >> you believe so? that's what the law is, right? >> yeah. >> then ten days later, hhs issued another proposed rule that completely changed what was proposed in the first rule. now the payments would go to the insurance companies and the treasurer would only get payments until a certain threshold was made for the insurance companies. is that correct? >> yes. >> can you explain why? >> so because the statute was silent on how to handle situations where either a lower amount -- >> what do you mean, silent? it specifically addressed the three issues. it doesn't speak, it's a statute. it's written. >> it's written to address the estimated collection of $12 billion. what it do

under current law, hhs provides temporary housing for uacs as their status is adjudicated. i personally met with some of the children and their caregivers. i have tremendous empathy for their situation as does everyone on the committee. but let me emp fuicize, we must treat everybody humanely and in accordance with our laws. it's important that hhs continue to perform this mission, but not on dod installations. ft. sill is the home of army air defense and artillery. its number one job is to train air defenders and artillery men. the decision to commandeer part of ft. sill to howse uacs undermined readiness at the base in a number of ways. i'll name three. seener base leadership's time was distracted from the core mission. the commander and his subordinants spent countless hires dueling with curecrats and lawyers across the agency, not to mention media and concerned neighbors. second, barracks were intended for military personnel were instend commandeered and used by hhs for non-military mission. finally, the installation had to spent time and resources insuring that hhs hir

>> yeah. >> ten days later hhs issued another proposed rule that completely changed what was proposed with the payments going to the insurance company and the treasury own gets paid once the insurance companies reach a threshold. is that correct? >> yes. >> can you explain why? >> because the statute was silent -- >> what do you mean? it doesn't speak. it is written. >> it is written to address the estimated collection of $12 billion. but it doesn't address is what happens if a lower amount or higher amount is collected which is why the agency put out public regulation. >> ask you this, it specifically says the treasurer insurance company to cover administrative cost. not the insurance companies and then pay only after a certain threshold. that wasn't specified in it. is that correct? >> the rule -- >> not the rule, the statute. >> i am speaking of the statute. it speaks to what happened as 12 billion is collect in the first year. what the agency needed to do, and this was before high time, and they put forward for public comment two years ago. >> has that public comment been made pub

accurate, credible, what use that word on purpose, credible data from the state of new mexico which hhs and cms have both agreed are completely missing in this design. we have the worst public health outcomes in the country, including the second highest overdose deaths related by and large to a very fragile, very complex behavioral health population in the state of new mexico. it would seem to me that as a chief medical officer one rule is we know that hospital decisions, overdose, incarcerations, acute institutional care is not the right investment for both cost savings or quality in terms of treating these patients. and i would guess you probably are also very aware that when you have a highly complex patient, say someone with schizophrenia who has developed a relationship with the provider, who is now successfully on a medication management which is very hard for many of these patients to achieve, and then that is completely taken away. and if you can get in, you see a different psychiatrist or psychologist every single time you try to get access. wouldn't you agree that this would n

of course, we've done a lot of work at hhs and usda as well. let me focus on the 60-000 foot level, one the areas we've identified over the years and so has the blue ribbon panel is the lack of unified strategy at the top to guide all of the department and resources and all of the departments work hard in doing a good job to their individual missions. the problem is there's no one above who has the authority or ability to actually drive resource decisions and priorities. so is that makes it very difficult to know if we're addressing the top priorities. so that was a key point from my opening statement. >> all right. as we talked a little bit about it, i mentioned the blue ribbon study panel co-led by joe lieberman and tom ridge. and one of the recommendations spoke or at least attempted to speak to the point you just made. let me just ask you, ask all of you, with respect to the recommendations -- i think you made 33 recommendations one was the biggest one should be the person to lead this, what current activities are we taking or planning to t

hhs is huge. all three agencies represented today. but in my view there are good management practices that could be taken to effectively manage these departments and agencies but there are not consistently applied management practices that should be made that are made. and as a result, you don't have as good of effective management as you should to be able to do this. >> great point, great point. what needs to change? what needs to happen so that we apply management practices to this huge bureaucracy that we have here? what needs to change, in your estimation? >> yeah, no -- >> that's a very good point you raise. >> it's a fair question. i think part of the issue is there needs to be stronger congressional oversight over the process. you know when you think about it, the executive branch agencies, we're about ready to have this happen again. every change in administration, you take out your top 3,000 political appointees and put all new people in there. in these agencies. there are vacancies that occur over time. nobody in the private

in the report today, hhs conquered with goa's recommend recommendations and highlighted the actions the department has taken to determine medicare eligibility when they do the exchanges. what steps has cms taken to make sure recipients of medicaid or federal subsidies are not receiving duplication in coverage? >> let me describe some of the steps we have taken. the account transfer process. we have accounts transferred from the marketplace and medicaid working with the states and private plans on a daily bases. we review account transfers on a weekly bases. in terms of duplication in coverage by medicaid and marketplace and the most common reason for this to give a tangible example is someone may have coverage, lose their job and qualify for medicaid. we do data matching and are working with the states doing periodical periodically data matching and continue to work through the access of issues testing systems at the federal and state level, through data matching and using data, we are reducing any people that may have coverage in both the marketplace and medicaid at the same time. >> a

but what i'd like to do is really focus in on what hhs is doing. and i'm going to sort of in a sense do this in three parts, which is first i'd like to briefly review what the hhs strategy is and put it a little bit in context. then give you brief progress wh. and then i want to spend a couple of minutes about where we're going and that's a focus on this year's presidential budget proposal and happy to take questions. left week, you all know, cdc released prescribing guidelines and hhs released its national pain strategy. believe it or not, that's not a coincidence. in fact, we view the two of them marching in lock step together. we have a pain problem and an opioid problem, they're interconnected and can only be dealt with together. the prescribing guidelines are really aimed at addressing one piece of the pain problem which is when we use opioids to deal with pain, how do we do that in the safest possible way. the pain strategy outlines beyond that a program of research, provider education, patient education, and continued sort of programmatic de

for example, most of its primary federal partners, those like cbs and hhs told us that products didn't add value and did not provide new meaning or didn't help them identify biological events quicker. the challenges are not easy to face alone. however, these options may require changes in law and it's not clear that even these would address the challenge. this brings me back to the bigger issue, as we in the blue-ribbon panel noted programs should be evaluated in terms of cost and benefit but also be prioritized against other programs across government as part of a national biodefense strategy. another critical part is using the most recent threat and information to guide decisions. this is important to ensure that our limited resources are directed to the most important areas. without a strategy that bridges across departments, it's difficult in congress and those in executive branch to make decisions above the traditional agency approach. i would be happy to answer your question. >> thank you, mr. currie. i want to go back within the specific agencies, talking about just sort of an u

we have done a lot of work at hhs and usda, as well. let me focus on the 60,000 foot level. think one of the problems that we have identified during the years, and so has the blue-ribbon panel, is the lack of a unified strategy at the top, the federal level, to guide efforts and resources. all of the departments work really hard and do a good job of doing their individual missions. the problem is, there is no one above that has the authority or ability to actually drive resource decisions, and priorities. that makes it difficult to know if we are addressing the top priorities. and so that was a key point from my opening statement. sen. carper: we talked a little bit, and i mentioned the study panel led by joe lieberman and tom ridge, and the recommendation that attempted use the -- to speak to the point you made. let me just ask all of you. with respect to the recommendations, i think they made 33 recommendations, and one was that the vice president should personally lead this. what current plan activities are you taking are planning to take to address the recommendations co
