4:17 pm
amazing work of president obama and our incredible and amazing leader congresswoman nancy pa 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
4:18 pm
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 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
4:19 pm
january 1, 2014. later on this year, and we're thinking around october, we plan to have a hearing that 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
4:20 pm
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 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.
4:21 pm
the second component of the health care security ordinance is the [inaudible] it was included by assembly member am 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
4:22 pm
possible to quality health care. many of us believe that the employer spending requirement is needed now more than ever 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
4:23 pm
to meet their individual mandate and if workers can use the employer contribution to purchase health insurance, we believe the aca will be an 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
4:24 pm
and because of the health care security ordinance, we know here in san francisco, an ordinance that goes beyond the coverage that the current law provides, we believe that, that trend will not happen in san francisco because the health care security ordinance ensures that employees that work more than 8 hours are covered. this is yet another example of how the health care security ordinance and especially the employer spending requirement aspect of the ordinance can work very well with the aca to provide meaningful access to health care to all san franciscans, so with that, i want to thank all of the members of the public, members of the community, the business community, labor who are here, and so it is now my pleasure to call on our fabulous deputy director of public health, colleen chala who is going to make a brief presentation.
4:25 pm
is that okay? >> good afternoon, supervisors, i'm glad to be here on behalf of the health department. i am as you side colleen, deputy director of health at the health department, i'm here on behalf of director garcia, she regrets she's unable to participate in the hearing today, but she is as we speak engaged in negotiations related directly to dpl's delivery system for the affordable care act. i also was hoping for the overhead too. san francisco has a long history of supporting health and health care in san francisco long before there was health reform, san francisco recognized the importance of health insurance and health care access and adopted cutting edge policies x programs that extended health insurance to more san franciscans, these included the healthy kids program which provides health
4:26 pm
insurance to low-income children, the health care accountability ordinance which requires contractors and less sees of city property to provide health insurance to their employees and the health care accountability ordinance which you will hear about more today and healthy san francisco, our flagship program as supervisor campos mentioned. as employee of the public health system, i'm pleased to work in a place that puts high priority on health and access to health care and it's because of the citywide commitment that all san franciscans have a good health care home, we are doing this by connecting people to the insurance they're eligible for and to those that have no other options. we cannot afford to keep individuals on locally funded programs that are subsidized by the state or federal government. it will not be simple, it will require coordination and education and support and individual responsibility, but it is possible.
4:27 pm
what i'll talk about today will hopefully provide the foundation for today's discussion. today i will provide a general overview of health reform, kind of a health reform 101, talk a little bit about the impact of health reform on the uninsured in san francisco, also about the aca implementation activity that dph and noel simmons will talk about the aca implementation verses at the human services agency. so, as supervisor campos said, it was assigned into law by president obama to expand health care coverage, it is the biggest initiative since the creation of medicaid and medicare, as a result of health reform , the rate of
4:28 pm
uninsurance will be reduced by half, and 92% of all u.s. residents will have health insurance. locally, approximately 56 thousand san franciscans who are uninsured today will have access to health insurance. how does health reform propose to expand access too insurance? it requires that people have insurance and it gives them more options to obtain it. the requirement for people to have insurance is called the individual mandate as the supervisor mentioned previously. most but not all u.s. residents will be subject to the mandate which becomes effective on january 1. those that are not subject to the mandate include undocumented individuals, that will be the largest proportion of individuals not subject to the mandate. those experiencing hardships such as homelessness, people with incomes below the
4:29 pm
threshold for filing federal tax returns which is about 9750 dollars per year, the incarcerated, those are the religious exemptions. >> my apologies, do you have copies of the slides for the committee. >> i'm sorry, i do not, i apologize. >> continue, please. >> anyone who is subject to the individual mandate and fails to show klein which will be done through their tax return, financial penalties will apply, the penalty in the first year is $95 which is low in acknowledgment of this new requirement but it creases to 695 dollars in 2016, it expands public insurance for low-income citizens through the medicate program, it creates the amazon.com of health insurance, it incentive employers to offer
4:30 pm
coverage, it makes health insurance more accessible and for all of these, i'll review the expanded options in brief. for the lowest income individuals, health reform expanded medicate which is called medi cal in california, prior to health reform, only certain low-income individuals were eligible for medical, primarily, children, seniors, and families with disabilities, they compromise a significant portion of the insured, health reform changes this beginning january 1, adults ages 18 to 64 with incomes between 0 and 138% of the federal po*rt level which is about 15 thousand 800 dollars for a single person will be eligible for medi cal, the current medi cal program that serves these people will be unchanged. those newly elig
