all of arkansas was and all of the south was. but we always had people that we looked up to, certainly in my own family there was my family that we were an educated family. folks had gone to college and what not. we had our own businesses. so we had some role models withinory family. so i never had to look beyond my family for some role models and that was a good thing for my development. but if you look at some of the -- i want to say that -- say something about some of the lawyers and not just in arkansas because my dad was typical of many lawyers across the south. if you were a black lawyer in those days you were automatically by definition a civil rights lawyer. one of the things justice martishall would say is i go in these communities and i do what i do and i get on a car or train and i leave town and i leave the local lawyer there. they kind of showed that last night if you saw that movie "marshall "marshall' but that was the reality. and you could name one of the things my dad always did was to go through a litany of the

for arkansas blue cross, we have implemented 14 episodes of care. how thean example of payment model works for the episodes of care program. you can see at the end of the performance, and average cost per episode is calculated for each of the clinical leads. this is typically at the end of a one year timeframe and there are levels acceptable and unacceptable. those who perform and meet the commendable level qualify for gainsharing. that is shared back with people with clinical leads, and those who perform above the unacceptable level have to share the cost of the program, so a artion of their payment is result of that. since putting the program in place, we have seen one of the intended effects, which is we have seen variation reduce and quality improve. we feel this has been important in our state. these are high-level results from a couple of the episodes we have had in place. probably the longest for our plan is prenatal. and total knee and hip replacement. these cost reductions are not adjusting for inflation. if you were to do that, assuming ye
