And so for a DME supplier to have access to over 50% of its prospective Medicare patients, it has to go out and get a whole bunch of managed care contracts, many of which are really not sustainable in terms of reimbursement.
Jeff BairdGUEST
And so we have kind of this perfect storm, and then the last big challenge we have now is as an attorney, I have to make nice with the State Bar of Texas and keep my law license or I'm gonna end up working as a Walmart reader.

What's stopping them? And that's why her case is so important because it's setting the precedent.

Rocky DhirHOST
You missed the Bar Leaders Luncheon, featuring a discussion between Justice Evan Young from the Supreme Court of Texas and a prior guest on this podcast, I might add, and the Honorable Jeffrey S. Sutton, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
Rocky DhirHOST
