"What my legislation does is that it reimburses at Medicare rates."

"Well, what created the situation was CMS coming in and saying they would no longer reimburse for services provided in that emergency department because of conditions that were occurring there."

"My tribes will tell you that they feel as though no consultation happens and that virtually they are left out of the decisionmaking process."
