Hi Hunter,

I hope you had a good break and a happy New Year.

I wanted to see if we can find a time for a 30 minute call in the next week or so to have the consultants brief you on the situation in California with Cedars-Sinai. While this is not the only opportunity we might be able to pursue together, it is the largest and probably the most pressing, so it probably makes sense to start there.

Please let me know your availability and I'll coordinate the parties on my end.

I look forward to speaking with you.

Thanks,
Gus

Gus-

I am out of the office, but copying my assistant, Katie, and my partner, Eric. Let us take a look at this and given the crazy schedule the next couple of weeks why don't we plan to follow up after the holidays. Looks like an interesting opportunity.

Best,

Hunter

It turns out that the same reimbursement consultants we were working with then have approached me with some new opportunities that could total several hundred million dollars and possibly exceed $1billion. I'm coming to you first on this to see if you have any interest in learning more and possibly getting involved.

I'm still gathering up details, but the consultants believe that the conduit to getting this done might be to connect with Rep. Henry Waxman to convey that their approach could bring several hundred million dollars to hospitals in his district. The hope being that Waxman or one of his staffers might facilitate a meeting with Cedars. I'm not sure that's the only strategy, and maybe you would have other thoughts regarding ways to get Cedars to engage. The ultimate objective is to get Cedars on board as they are the key to getting the other hospitals to follow, and we need someone with the right influence to facilitate a meeting, and possibly help prod them along. The consultants will take responsibility for securing the contract and doing all the work once the right introductions are made and the initial meetings facilitated.
