i don't, i mean, i think of spokane, i think it's a great place, and i certainly think the population with a city title of near perfect is good symbolism, but i don't know if we're talking about healthier populations or healthier practices. and i certainly think we have healthier practices in the northwest, rewarding things that have driven down costs and produced better outcomes. and frankly, people in our region are very frustrated that we deliver care that way and get less reimbursement and less people want to go practice there. and people can practice somewhere elsewhere they can run up the bill to the american taxpayer. and my constituents, just to assume that they're healthier and that someplace else is sicker and we should just pay more is not, not going to work. and so i'm glad we're moving down the track, and i guess we're just going to have to focus on what good data is. so if you have any comment on that, dr. stream, and also on what we need to do to encourage graduate medical education, if we're looking at the numbers that we're looking at to get medical homes and primary

next up is spokane, washington, like on the republican . >> hi. how're you doing? two important things -- one is the leadership like you are talking about, and that sense a certain amount from education. i think a lot of politicians that we are sending, state, city, federal level, they do not have the education to understand the consequences, like the speaker was talking about some of the different actions they take. therefore, they are too much influenced by special interest groups when it comes to stand up and taking a vote and saying this is good or this is bad. they tend to vote with the majority. way they shield themselves from being criticized or whenever they went the way, the trackpad said. they did not stand up for what they thought and what they think is good. the reason for that is because they do not have enough education to understand the issues. >> we will let you go up there. we understand they are about to get under way. you can post your opinion on line. we have bet post up at facebook pan./cs-a we are live at the national governors association.
