I think we have had that experience in Arkansas, too. I have heard from Mr. Rash and many others who have been in the process that it has been very hard to get clear guidance and clear communication from FEMA on how all this is going to…

So the communities paid for that out of their resources, whatever.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

I was going to follow up on that.

Is that because the two agencies are being inflexible, or is it because you are dealing with two or more Federal agencies and it just takes a long time for them to make a decision?

Good. I may have some follow-ups there in a minute----

It does concern me that it is sending a signal to other hospitals around the country.

But it seems to me that they ought to consider that compensation, because most of those patients wouldn't have that except for these circumstances, right?

NDMS is something that we should continue, that it is important in a time of crisis.

I think that everybody's heart is in the right place, trying to do the right thing.

But to me, that seems that planning would take care of a lot of that.

It seems if the Federal Government has a lot of expertise, has a lot of people that have expertise that might be part of that team, I just wonder if there are maybe too many barriers for them to serve.
