2:24 pm
loes si, in march of 2010, president obama signed the comprehensive health reform that we probably have heard a lot in the last couple of years. it is the patient protection and affordable care act which many people referred to as the aca or obama care which is something that we have affectionately appropriated because the term was use ined a derogatory way, we think it's a positive way, this law does many things but perhaps most importantly, it makes preventive care more accessible and more affordable for so many americans and i'm excited to be here to begin a series of hearings that we will be holding on the affordable care act so that we have in san francisco a smooth as transition and implementation as possible. today's hearing will focus on how the aca and our local health care security ordinance work in tandem to make health
2:25 pm
care and health insurance truly accessible to as many san franciscans as possible. you know, the thing about the health care security ordinance, it was really an example of how san franciscans can come together, you had labor, community activist and is the business community coming forward and passing an ordinance that set an example for how you can have universal health care for the rest of the country. in september of this year, i plan to hold a hearing on how to enroll for health insurance in california's exchange which is called the covered california. right now, i know that san franciscans are getting ready for enrolling in the aca which the enrollment begins on october 1 of this year for coverage that would then begin january 1, 2014. later on this year, and we're thinking around october, we plan to have a hearing that
2:26 pm
will focus on women's health and how women's health will be impacted by the implementation of the affordable care act. in the coming months, i look forward to a lot of lively discussion about the exciting moment in history in the history of this country where quality health care will become more accessible to so many americans. i wanted to start off the series of hearings on the aca with a discussion about the importance of maintaining our landmark health care security order and as you remember, this law was authored by my predecessor, former district 9 supervised sore now assembly member tom am yan noe, this serveesed as a model for the country for how to do health care reform and we know that we have heard from many moses if washington dc before the aca was passed that they were looking to san francisco as a model. my driving concern is that during this period of transition, here in san
2:27 pm
francisco, that we continue to be that model for the rest of the country, and that the health care dollars that san francisco workers have been receiving from their employers for the last 7 years, that those dollars are not taken away during this transition. the health care security ordinance contains two components, both of which will be crucial to maintaining -- to ensuring full access once the aca is implemented, the first component is the healthy san francisco program which is a program that provides health care access to uninsured san francisco residents and which will continue to be crucial for those residents who are left out of the affordable care act, namely undocumented residents here in san francisco and other parts of the country. the second component of the health care security ordinance is the [inaudible] it was included by assembly member am
2:28 pm
ya*n know that worked on this landmark piece of legislation. on the belief that employers should contribute equitably to the health care needs of their employees and employee provided health care is not only reserved for the high paid workers here in san francisco, the employers spending requirement was never really meant to be a primary funding mechanism for healthy san francisco, for the healthy san francisco program, although we recognize a small portion of this money does help the program solvent. the employer's spending requirement was meant to encourage employers to provide and to continue to provide health insurance to their employees or in the absence of health insurance, to provide economic assistance so that they have as much access as possible to quality health care. many of us believe that the employer spending requirement is needed neve
2:29 pm
because under the aca, individuals are required to meet an individual mandate and purchase health insurance, while cal foreign's health exchange, the cover california that i referred to before will make health insurance more affordable to many individuals in high cost cities like ours, like san francisco where according to recent reports during the most recent quarter, a one bedroom apartment in san francisco will cost you an average of 779, in these high cost, lower wage employers will find health insurance unaffordable, because of the health care security ordinance and the spending requirement in that ordinance, we hope the workers we're talking about will be able to use this money to meet their individual mandate and if workers can use the employer contribution to purchase health insurance, we believe the aca will be an
2:30 pm
enormous success in san francisco and we believe that san francisco will be the model for the rest of the country on how to maximize its success of the aca because of the health care security ordinance. there's a last point that i want to highlight here before asking the department of public health to come and present, in 2015, the aca will include a requirement that employers provide insurance or pay a penalty if they do not provide health insurance to employees that work over 30 hours a week. what's going to happen as a result of this unfortunately, in many parts of the country to the extend that the threshold is at 30 hours a week, there's an anticipation that many employers will be lowering the number of numbers that employees work to 29 or under and because of the health care security ordinance, we know here in san francisco, an ordinance that goes beyond the coverage that the current l
