Dirk Allison

has see providers let level as answer can start with We been is union me states you we time, due our that that our increase of number in as some the under are Brian, the contracts Thanks certainly have of pressure the wage in have largest service health same the in but economy I some minimum employees today. pressure states. Probably if to a know care various it all question. at of that

markets higher unionized the And where it and everybody work largely get established rate that to the we unions. have pay is not unions rates individuals. so us those state and contract comes the those we negotiate at for do a rate That's once to been has at to point about with is that the or industry that whatever negotiate in already

In taking care family workforce additional members. to about our that of family members XX% are of addition labor

So with in labor it's of them able actually house wage as of to opposed and the care and our function them less take trained really a being hire rates put get them their. to them to

rate them get patients. shift not board those there hourly because certainly a between a to we hard transfer somewhere companies, there's small increase on may be of just not It's once else. lot So in

a face family to but I of with and we our you some as makeup to us say think that do labor fair well our contracts mentioned as from economy our to degree. again shield the union competitors our So, force caregivers it's pressure that

Brian Tanquilut

the unions, a to just follow-up right the changes get in to that, you wage so reimbursing? described where seems the movement seems that wage with temporary but pricing I the rate the states terms Illinois what normally that and how given but minimum are issue seeing in you know increasing states minimum mean dynamics in an Dirk are just now states be And I speaking does generally you this or of translate? between the other

Brian Poff

generally markets of in and but negotiate we majority. the tend see is the you fairly unions see in And exclusive to seen what are states are in totally we've the Brian of will what to get back unions wage first strong with wage it's most minimum state working that's those passed and and the unions to get effect increases And the minimum increase where then vast that go -- not up. then increased. then as that the an minimum cover start to coming the bill with the are that wage try states after the we a

do it a into to white those you So basis. years. to have year period your Very in race is stepped to certain year-by-year have increases the to get going negotiate for you over cover state markets is states you effect going increase, tend with a four wage years, multiple may They to have cover on put to a that increases. few legislature each of three

are and wage negotiate us union but cost is for the to the will at states, us, over increase is increase time the a already end home minimum the the a to is with up minimum has partner these that in union I States to us we to then setting, that generally been law that institutionalized do wage that rate in minimum person itself working are you a enough of alternative union passed we is, by hand state if where with after leaders hand most, they period going affected the quit servicing setting. in going the bit a into higher fails the companies it higher are So wage to the tell of the a state with individual partners price given. sure increase that increase increase make offset or to Because rates little

leadership understands it's money overall population state for it's for it the the So also the good cause. costs while and that good --

of years a is exception you three last know there wage in delay with we've as offset good to experience to unusual. the increases which So with the now these right had not four Illinois minimum is maintaining

Dirk Allison

nice believe potential three five the Medicare company we is for years. ourselves Advantage like certainly to know upside over a next you Well, a

I think that. consistent very saying we've been

with As like Medicaid, large managed negotiation far as states. most of other Medicare of we Medicaid offer Advantage have in players, various the which services relationships some

the the a month approach. is a to in network to providers they a are go how and the that are believe to Advantage So the at while maybe we based their that Advantage little in do from negotiate long-term I in different it the more reimbursement, their start Medicaid providers to part ability the rate at until to looking a Advantage lot be state providers standpoint. obviously risk have point with different, negotiation inroads most first from various Medicaid. us reimburse than benefit Medicare tightening are or per not side eventually reputation is a per at company MCO's market. of The cases may gives is type with, -- participants taker the department already state them offering in going the of same Medicare that membership. or this Medicare want at we the of member this time a In for least the

multiple care of they they're to type as activities, more now Advantage in coverage personal it's going as offering as early service they your going give to scope first gather is at the to kind can do where personal it's to it be got problem to Medicare is Are long are far Medicaid have service to to a and aspects and you what the that they data to to in of or providers do they We've more of for going the and do us think acute a got are very do to we I daily process. care. you buy. decide living as have an we've much what decide of going couple that offering as so limited months allow

is So on I'm period based their in the benefit that shifts personal Medicare care to company and with when trying sell their members. a the to members for offer real Medicare of to is the way negotiation, a upside medical evade on of the different what it's members to for Advantage a Addus is like from their every loss experience personal I they not subject the care start that think looking they're reduce time company to ratio plan a over thinking Advantage thinking terms just to and the
