inside the application people were getting stuck in the application process. what you asked me is can you get plan information without completing the application process. therefore, not getting into the problems and the answer to that is question. >> let me tell you the concern that i have. the members on the other side of the aisle won't acknowledge. we understand the affordable care act is the law of the land. we do. but we also understand from our constituents that there is a disaster of a rollout that's occurring, not a hiccup but a disaster of a rollout that's occurring. i have constituents who said to me their doctor is not going to be covered in the new plan. their plan is going to be more expensive. finally, a constituent who said, let me get this straight, congressman, you guys passed a bill that tells me that i'm transitioning, you're telling me to transition to another plan and you're telling me what that plan is going to be. it's not going to have the same benefits that i have now. i'm going to pay more, but you're going to give me a tax credit bac

inside the application. people were getting in this -- stuck in the application process. you asked me if we can get plan information without completing the application process, and the answer to that is yes. >> let me tell you the concern i have that we will have to deal with and the members of the other side of the got -- on the will note of the aisle knowledge. we understand the affordable care act is the law of the land. we do. but we also understand from our constituents there is a disaster of a rollout that is occurring. not a hick up. a disaster. mestituents have said to their doctor will not be covered in the new plan. their plan will be more expensive. finally, a constituent who said, you guys passed a bill that tells me i am transitioning -- you are telling me to transition to another planet and your tell me what the plan will be, it will not have the same benefits i have now, i will pay more, but you will give me a tax credit back so i can pay less, even though it will cost more? that is crazy. for us to not acknowledge that is crazy is so disappointing and disc

college applications are going to be due in the near future.t now. >> yes. it's never too early. and one of the great things about college day is it does take place every year-around the time that college applications open. so we want to make sure that students start getting familiar and customized to understanding that this is college applications season. for example, at the college day family conference which was our first family conference this year with over 800 families registered at the conference, we were able to offer a college application lab for seniors. so seniors who need assistance and getting their uc, csu or common applications filled out, assistance with their personal statement we're able to get that one-on-one assistance during that conference. this is a critical time, and we want families and students of all ages to understand that this is a tradition, and this is something that becomes part of, you know, what you're looking forward to in the future. >> and you guys are there to help throughout this whole process. >> absolute

one, double-check that your school got the application. and, two, just like with your homework once you get into college, don't procrastinate. >> there are always students every year who try to submit a deadline, application due at midnight. i'm going to try for 11:59. this is not the year to try that. >> reporter: mark kelly, kpix 5. >> more than 500 colleges and universities accept the common application. >>> now in its third week, "covered california" is yanking its directory of doctors from its website. the state says there are problems with the information including doctors being mislabeled. for the most part, the website has managed to iron out its glitches. since enrollment started at the beginning of the month almost 95,000 people have applied for health coverage >>> drop, cover and hold on. millions of californians did it today as part of the "great california shake-out." a record 9.6 million people participated in today's earthquake drills including bay area students at san jose's tech museum. the shake-out marks the 24th anniver

applications. it's relevant to note that while the eidm tool is important, it is only one piece of the federal market plagues's registration system. registration components developed by other vendors handle other critical functions, such as user interface, confirmation emails to users, the link the users click on to activate their accounts and the web page users land on. all of these tools must work together seamlessly to assure smooth registration. after the launch, healthcare.gov was inundate the by many more consumers than anticipated. many critical components were overwhelmed, including the virtual data center environment, the software, the database system and hardware and our idem tool. it appears one of the reasons for the high concurrent volume at the registration system was a lately decision requiring consumers to register for an account before they could browse for insurance products. this may have driven higher simultaneous usage of the registration system that wouldn't have otherwise occ

we have over 700,000 who have completed applications. >> so you know the applicants, but do you knows? do you have an idea of how many of those applicants became enrollees? that's really the number that matters. >> we will not have that until mid november. we have people who are shopping now. we expect the initial number to be small, and i think you seen that in our projections, and that was the massachusetts experience as well. >> i have to tell you, the numbers i'm hearing from insurers in my home state of michigan are not good. in fact -- of enrollees, a very small number. in fact, i think i could have a meeting in my office and have all of them fit in of people who have been successfully enrolled in the plans. i understand that cms' stated goal is seven million enrollees by the end of march. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> and i think critically important of that seven million, 2.3 million of those need to be young and healthy. i think those are your metrics, is that correct? >> i don't have that metric with me, but i'll check on it. >> okay. i believe those are numbers th

in california, over 100,000 have started out application. in kentucky nearly 16,000 people have enrolled. so, this website, federal website is not only way you apply. in fact you can go to the community health center. you can go to the 1-800 number. you can go, there are many ways for people to enroll. all we talk here is the website because you're trying to make a case that people should not enroll. now i want to ask two questions, miss campbell, am i correct that cgi is doing work in several states in addition to the work on healthcare.gov? would you comment on that please in these states? >> that is correct. we. are supporting a number of states and those states we're prime contractor in colorado. the prime contractor in hawaii. a prime contractor in massachusetts. a prime contractor in vermont. we're a subcontractor in california. a subcontractor in kentucky. and a subcontractor in new mexico. >> and you, and that appears to be going well. obviously a lot of people have enrolled as i set forth previously. i know that in, when mr. waxman

the ordinance also created a right to appeal where an applicant for a condominium conversion can appeal to the board and challenge the nexus finding and ask that the board reduce or wave or adjust the fee for that particular applicant. that is the matter that you have before you today. now, in this appeal the board can reduce wave or adjust the fees that applies to this applicant but only if it finds that there is no any relationship or nexus between the impact of the conversion and the amount of the fees that's been charged. the applicant here has the burden to present substantial evidence to support the appeal including comparable technical information. and the board cannot reduce or wave the fee based solely on a finding of financial personal hardship. that type of waiver is not allowed under the ordinance. and i imagine you will have additional questions perhaps for me, perhaps for the department as the hearing progresses. >> thank you very much. mr. gibner. colleagues, i propose we conduct the hearing ways typically do. first the appellant will have 10 minutes to present her case f

the traditional way, the way we set it up there are no absurdly long application forms. there is no medical history questionnaire that goes on for pages and pages. there is no more getting denied because you've had a pre-existing condition. instead of contacting a bunch of different insurers one at a time which is janice and others what are shopping for individual health insurance have had to do. there is one single place where you can shop and compare plans that have to compete for your business. there is one single phone number you can call for help. and once the kinks in the website have been ironed out it will be even smoother and even easier. but in the meantime we will help you sign up. because consumers want to buy this product and insurance companies want to sell it to you. let me close by addressing some of the politics that have swirled around the affordable care act. i recognize that the republican party has made blocking the affordable care act it's significant policy idea. it sometimes seems to be the one thing that unifies the party these days. in fact, the

i am the president of lucky dragon which is the new application at 3140 mission street. it took over a year for us to find a home at 2130 mission street due to very, very strict zoning laws to find the right property and landlord and it's a bunch of combinations of different things that have to go right in order for that to happen. we at lucky dragon have spent a /pwupbdz /-l of money getting to this point -- lawyer fees, architect fees, health department fees, grants in social security is a burden, not operating. we feel that it 's unfair for us to be changed the rules on this late in the process of application. what we'd like to say is that if nothing else works, if all else fails, we'd like the supervisors to put in an a grandfather clause for those application that are in already. i have 500 petitions in support of lucky dragon at 4130 mission street. i'd like to pass those along. >> [inaudible] question for you. you had no idea that we were looking at this legislation all these months? because this was in planning commission about four months ago and certainly was d

one state, new york, accounts for more than a quarter of all applications. and they have their own website too. last night they added a new little button or the home page that says ply by phone. they're really pointing out to people, you don't have to deal with the website if you don't want to. and i've talked to many of those operators over the past couple of weeks. they answer quickly and are very helpful. >> if a half million people have successfully registered, that doesn't necessarily mean that they've taken the next step and purchased, core mitted to a health plan. >> right. as we pointed out on our piece, many of those were from the state-run websites and not the federal one. they did it on their own and many have had success. i spoke to many people in new york and kentucky, and i said what was the secret to your success? is teams they had a very clear line of command. not much bureaucracy. and talking to experts, on the federal site that wasn't the case. a lot of barr crazy, a fair amount of confusion and an election going on. and it seems like they

they're working 21 hours a day to process all the applications. they're calling the recent spike "unprecendente d." state police say gun applications are funneling in at a rate nearly 10-times that of last year. the new laws require marylanders to give their fingerprints and take special training courses in order to buy a handgun. state police promised the backlog of applications would be cleared up by the time the new laws went into effect... but at last check... maryland had received more than 106- thousand gun license applications before the start ofthe day. just over half had been processed. that leaves a backlog of more than 52- thousand. along with the new gun laws... several other laws take effect today. police now have the authority to pull drivers over... if they're spotted using a hand-held phone behind the wheel. adults traveling in the back set of a car are now required to wear their seat belts at all times... from now on. otherwise the driver gets a ticket. for a complete list... go to fox baltimore dot com. a follow up to a story you
