  1. Given that your consolidated Medical Cost Ratio (MCR) was higher than expected at 89.2% due to pressures in Medicaid and Medicare, how do you plan to manage these pressures moving forward, and do you anticipate further increases in MCR in the upcoming quarters?
  2. You've indicated that your net trend in Medicaid increased from 3% to 6% over your initial guidance, partly due to higher utilization among existing members ("stayers"); what strategies are you implementing to prevent further acceleration of this trend, and how confident are you that it will stabilize?
  3. With the significant acuity shifts stemming from Medicaid enrollment dropping from 92 million to 72 million, how confident are you that state rate adjustments will sufficiently capture this increased acuity, especially considering potential lags in the rate-setting process?
  4. As you rely on corridor protections and profit-sharing arrangements to buffer against mismatches between rates and trends, how sustainable is this approach if trends continue to rise or if corridors become insufficient to absorb increased costs?
  5. Behavioral health utilization has become a national trend beyond isolated cases like Kentucky; what specific measures are you taking to manage rising behavioral health costs across different states, and how are these expenses impacting your overall cost management strategies?
