I think I get where you're going, Senator Ruston. Your argument is that people who are self-managing their packages now and not paying those costs will incur some of that with the new arrangements. The advice to me is the department doesn't expect that to happen because the only way that would happen is if the provider starts adding that cost to what they were charging the care recipient, which is not what's happening now.
