let me bring it back to kansas. long before secretary gibson, we've been trying to recruit a cboc in liberal, the southwestern corner of our state. secretary gibson, and i appreciate this, in his effort to solve that problem, determined in a letter to me in july of this year that that cboc would not count as a facility under the choice act, and that veterans who are receiving care there could have community services. this is the issue we continue to face, in part based upon how you define what a full-time physician is, but also, why don't the veterans who live in areas other than than liberal ge same kind of standard for whether or not the cbot counts or not. for example, imporia, kansas. 25,000 kansases. it's open one day a week. it counts as a facility. seneca is a -- is open one day a month. it counts and, in fact, it is now closing seneca cbot so it no longer counts but the reality is, it shouldn't count in the first place, if it's open one day a month. so is this just confusion within the v.a. or is there a sol

i knew kansas fairly well.was looking at a map recently that the triwest had showed me today or last month, excuse me, versus a year ago, the provides and the network that they've built in kansas specifically has been tremendous. so what we have we've seen is not a linear increase but an exponential increase in number of providers, veterans who understand it better, the va, who frankly were the worst in providing the care, they've improved significantly. although it's been a challenge, we have seen it start to sort steadily uptick, which is why we mentioned in our testimony that there are really positive things and lessons learned from choice but also some negative things we've learned. just on the broader concept of choice that was mentioned earlier about the different plans that have been floated, and again, one of the reasons we support this framework and reject some of the one-off plans, you know, there are certain plans that want to take, as someone mentioned earlier, primary care out of the va. well, as s

let me bring this back to kansas.ecretary gibson and i have had -- long before secretary gibson we've been trying to recruit a physician to c-bot in kansas liberal part of our state, unsuccessful in doing so in years. >> secretary gibson in an effort to solve that problem, determined in a letter to me in july of this year that that c-bot would no count as a facility and veterans receiving care there could have community services. this is the issue we continue to face. in part based upon how you define what a full-time physician is. but also why don't the veterans who live in areas other than liberal get the same kind of standard as to whether or not the c-bot counts or not? emporia, kansas, in the flint hills of our state. 25,000 kansans. it's open one day a week. it counts as a facility. seneca is opened one day a month. it counts. in fact, it's now closing seneca c-bot so it no longer counts. the reality is that it shouldn't count in the first place if it's open one day a month. is this just confusion in the va or i

in your book, you mentioned what kansas, another book that was written. i noticed kansas on the map had three equal parts of raider appalachia and the midlands and the far west. i kind of want to pose the same question. what did in fact happen to kansas to create one of the few states that have a three region divide. mr. woodard: i am not an expert on kansas politics, and there is a rather controversial experiment in whether or not after -- arthur laffer's idea of trickle-down economics would work, but why would the experiment take place in kansas? i'm not sure. i would be guessing. the midlands is a swing region, and can shift around, depending on changes in the climate. you have a large, but sparsely populated far western section and a big chunk that is also greater appalachian. it is an environment where the doesbility of experiment not seem impossible it would happen there. why it happened there and why it happened now, i don't know about kansas enough to answer. i'm not shocked, given the fissures that that could happen. thank you. yes, please. >> he
