take the tour, it is about health care. but it recognizes health is about your mental state and sense of community and value that is placed on you and people here feel very respected because of the nature of this accomplice. it is just remarkable. we gather here to share the good news under president biden and democrats and congress health care costs will come down. powered by our rescue plan to begin with, health care is more accessible and affordable than ever. we tried affordable care act to bring down the cost health care and did except when it came to the cost of prescription drugs. we are about the kitchen table of america's working families. how can we lower costs and increase paychecks and make community safer. and that is what we have dmn this piece of legislation.

with the inflation. we had in a rescue plan now extended it with the inflation reduction plan biden sign in the law, add to when we did in the rescue plan driving down the cost of prescription drugs and extending the premium reduction this is is about the kitchen table. here is what the ira. we call it they don't want to call at this time ira. sometimes they talk about that. the inflation reduction acts means for medicare beneficiaries in our city. cap the drug cost to 2 thousand dollars. this is a rable achievement. we have been trying to do this for arc while. we kept the copay so what people don't have to -- insulin. 35 dollars a month. that is like 110th or 120th of where it is. and i have to say, we did that

without one republican vote. sad to say. without one republican vote. we have been drug members from pred tori price hikes they have been engaged in and finally empowered medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug prices. that is the big triumph. this is historic we have been trying to do this for dekdzs big pharma weigh in the and weighed in and strangle hold on our ability to loose it free congress from that. we want to do more. but this opens the door on and we are proud. it is historic without one republican vote. and big pharma says the democrats will pay for this. can you imagine mag they say a thing to threaten us for lowering costs for prescription drugs for america's family. san francisco the provisions save millions aier in our own

community. and now we will hear more from arp california on what this cost means for families. before we do, it is thousands of people in our community are in covered california this is what ira does for them. rescue plan slashed premiums now locked in the lower processes at least for 3 more years and then that is what many of the other provisions come due. our lever acknowledges increase in the that town. we will keep affordable insurance, the average enrollee in san francisco could save over -- 1400 dollars. the ming mum in premium costs. family of 4 could save up to 2800 dollars. 2 seniors could save 21 thousand dollars. we are fortunate to joined by jessica of covered california.

so that members of congress know and hear from their own constituents what they node. and how they need it. in the terminology that means something to them. because we believe that health care is a right not a privilege. too many families face the impossible choice. keep a roof over your head and food on the table or access to life saving care. campaign trail, i have seen grown men cry because they can't pay the prescription drug bills. they have family members and say, i just can't afford it. and it keeps getting more and the it was the one element of the affordable care act we reducing the costs that kept going up and now we have broken that strangle hold. lowering health care cost system about justice these benefits flow to the most in need.

follow the speaker of the house in succession have secret service protection the president and violent have the most. but they had justice decided that they would not do that. it is irresponsible. we have questions about irand not of the secret service at the time of january 6 some performed manage 95 cently. some did not. i have many [inaudible] probably more then and there anybody export air presidential candidate. i'm more concerned about the safety of my members. safety of our staff the safety of those who cover us. in the capitol and you see the frivolousness which the secret service treatd that. i have the protection of the capitol police i'm indented than i saved our democracy on january 6. [applause] >> strong democratic showing

the issue of chips and science and some republican vote. and now inflation reduction act with no republican vote we have 220 dem credits in the house. franklin roosevelt had 319 democrats in the house. we have do this carefully and i'm proud of the courage of our members. this was the residence should be very, very scared this morning about their prospects. i had never believed we would not hold the house. that's my mission and hope to accomplish and i have a floon do it under sean patrick had a victory last night. our chair. but this one -- they expected to win and they out spent us but we

out organized them. and that's when. we don't agonize we organize. [inaudible] we had it in this bill reduce the cost insulin we had the bill on the floor on its own without anything else. and we only got 20 republican votes that means 190 residence voted against it. this bill had more because it had [inaudible] reduction of this or that. since they think the climate crisis is a hoax you see well they had that excuse not to vote but when it was insulin alone,

only able to get. we thought -- how could they resist this. insulin is costing 6 or 300 an among. this take its down to a 35 a month copay. you would think that respect for constituents and the brood need you mentioned they would represent their constituents. no they represent big pharma and that's really what the success was in this bill. that we were able to -- losen the strangle hold of big pharma on our families. thank you for your question. >> thank you. >> thank you all so much and let us thank again the family health center. thank you doctor for your leadership. and wonderful being in the commuter. oscar given me the figures he is about the [inaudible] hidden --

small businesses especially here directly with some of our local restaurants. it does so much and over the existence 15 year existence of outside lands, rec and park department are beautiful park system has been fortunate enough to generate 31 million dollars. that is extraordinary. but it does not stop there. outside lands understands the personals of also giving back to the community. and so over a million dollars begin to organizations and the sunset and richmond. to our transgender district and other thing this is we hold dear in our city. so, they put on a great show. they have great performers, yes. it is a good time and keeps the smile on your face and this year you don't have to mask up or have to provide proof of vaccine or do the things you did in the past. but be clear. covid is out there. a declaration of emergency that

believe it is appropriate to have the events. as far as monkeypox you know left week we district attorney claired a state of emergency. we have requested from the federal government numerous times resources including vaccines. we anticipate that we will get hopefully, soon, 10,000 more vaccines. the governor declared a state of emergency after we did in san francisco and appear that today the federal government is going to be declaring a state of emergency. my hope is that will open the door to address the issue. but again we want people to understand that covid and monkeypox are still issues that are out there. and the d. public health at this time does not believe this events like this should not continue as a result. thank you. >> thank you. thank you for your questions that's all the time we have.
