So, now 136 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520 the question comes, 137 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,760 if I pay nothing for it, who pays for 138 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,640 it?

The answer to that is, you 141 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,320 will not be charged any of those. You 142 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,040 can keep your social security, you keep 143 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120 your home, you keep your car. There are 144 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,880 some income limits that are applicable 145 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,040 uh each month or some resource limits 146 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,160 that are there. But basically, what 147 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,040 happens and I I'll have to admit, I'm 148 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,200 probably not a fan of many government 149 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,600 programs, but this is a program that is 150 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,320 actually working with government health 151 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,680 care to provide better options. 152 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,120 What we do is each month, if you're a 153 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,600 Medicaid Medicare 154 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,880 participant, the government sets aside 155 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,480 amount of money for your care. 156 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,120 And that amount of money is based on 157 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,240 your severity. So, they look at your 158 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,280 health condition and they assess it and 159 00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:49,720 they say, "Here's what money we set 160 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,200 aside." 161 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,160 When you become a member of Life 162 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Coordinated, 163 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,120 they send that money to Life 164 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,760 Coordinated. 165 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,160 And they on the Medicaid side of it, 166 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,160 they take 15% off what they would have 167 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000 sent. So, the state is saving 15% off 168 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,960 what they would have paid. That money 169 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,080 comes to Life Coordinated. Wherefore it 170 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,320 was directed to me as an individual, 171 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,040 it's now in a group setting. 172 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,360 And so, Life Coordinated becomes your 173 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,880 primary care provider 174 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000 and your insurer. 175 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,840 We only take new members on the first 176 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,560 day of each month. So, if you started 177 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,919 the first day of September, the second 178 00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:29,720 day of September, you had to go to the 179 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,200 hospital for a chronic health condition, 180 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,440 those costs are paid by Life 181 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,160 Coordinated. 182 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,760 Now, we do carry stop-loss insurance. We 183 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,160 are audited regularly. Next month, we'll 184 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,600 have a CMS audit. 185 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,720 We get four audits a year of our 186 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,520 facilities, of our records, of our 187 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,640 finances. But basically, what we're 188 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120 doing and it's a fairly if you think 189 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,600 about the process, it's a fairly 190 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,840 straightforward simple process. 191 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,280 If Jason, we give you better health care 192 00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,040 than you've ever had, you'll be 193 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,360 healthier. 194 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,840 Many of our seniors we find live alone. 195 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,160 They live 196 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,200 with a dietary need that's not met. Some 197 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,440 of them have no transportation. 198 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,080 And so, they're in an isolated 199 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,480 environment and if their health 200 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,080 declines, 201 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,160 they have one option. That's pick up the 202 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,720 phone, dial 911, have an ambulance take 203 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,200 them to the hospital. They go to the 204 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,560 emergency room. They get treated in the 205 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,360 most expensive care provider in the 206 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,840 United States. 207 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,040 If it's 208 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,640 or they need to, you're put in the 209 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,800 hospital for a day's observation and if 210 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,720 they can, you're discharged back home or 211 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,880 to a skilled nursing facility.

And the reason is it's providing 260 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,200 longer lives and lower cost. Uh I don't 261 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,360 know where else you can get that 262 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,560 combination. Now, there's challenges to 263 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:34,560 facing this.
