veteran feels trapped like sergeant summers did and all of our veterans have access to appropriate mental healthcare. sergeant summer's story sounds too familiar to too many military families. perhaps less common is the astonishing bravery demonstrated by sergeant summer's parents, howard and jean, after their son's death. howard and jean are here today and i am so honored to have them here as i share their son's story. howard and jean were devastated by the loss of their son and nobody were to blame them if they turned inward to deal with their grief. howard and jean face the world, bravely sharing his story in a mission of their own, their mission is to ensure that sergeant summer's story brings to light america's deadliest war, the 20 veterans we lose every day. while serving in the house i work closely with howard and jean to pass into law the access to care act, legislation that ensures veterans who serve in a classified capacity receive behavioral services in an appropriate care setting. and now it's time to take tr next innovative step to provide the support our service members and veterans h

if san francisco can provide housing, healthcare, education, mental health services for people so they did not end up in our gel, that we could save $24 million a year. $3 million on the sheriff over time at 850 bryant. i would ask you to please county jail 4 instead of failing to find any of these important services. thank you. >> good evening, supervisors get peter papadopoulos with the mission academic development agency. i'm going to highlight one item and to ask acts of it that you have in your budget proposal here and then i want to urge them overall action. we know in communities like commission and others we have been advocating strongly for more affordable housing and particularly - not particularly making headway on our senior affordable housing which is critical. we also know and are very aware and you have heard from folks that this is not necessarily housing that seniors can afford. many of them as it currently stands, so we would very much urge you to some part of the proposal, because we think it is going to be necessary to make a structural and longer-term change to the

that i will have conservative values but i'm concerned about affordable healthcare, affordable education, the addiction crisis, mental veterans, all those issues have weakened our community and washington, d.c. and leaders there have nothing to consolidate power in washington, d.c. and have done nothing to support the communities where the problems lie and the solutions lie and the people lie that can get that done, i will also be supporting governor sonono, doing great work and i think we will be able to work together, we will find common ground, i will find common ground in the senate and we will move this country forward. jillian: okay, retired general, thank you so much for your time, we appreciate it. >> you're very welcome, i'd like to just say happy fourth of july and prayers to service members an their families. ill jillian: absolutely. rob: thank you for your service. jillian: 6 minutes until the top of the hour. rob: some people like to make grand entrance but not this guy, his letter of resignation going viral. . . ♪ ♪ don't stop ♪ believing ♪ hold to that feeling. jillian: everyone's favorite are college

healthcare corporation known as chcc a. chcc is responsible for seeing over my hospital, dialysis services, mental health or public health services in several outpatient clinics. as one born and raised on taipan i relied on our healthcare services long before i became responsible for them. i have seen how begin a remote location poses a host of challenges for our population. for example, in the 1990s a baby with a congenital heart disease had to take a total of eight hours and flight time to receive care costing $1 million accumulated in a year. several residents that are my neighbors, my relatives, and my friends, are unable to return home because we do not have an oncologist on the island to manage their complex cancer treatment. a gentleman with a neurological injury waited for days before being transported off the island because the cheapest and safest way for him to receive treatment for his injury was at a hospital in the philippines. and like many u.s. citizens, he did not own a u.s. passport. patients with complex medical issues like this issue are often flown to guam, hawaii, the philippines, and taiwan to receive care.
