. >> my name is aheadey johnson. we work in psychiatric emergency services. we help people with case management. as you know workers got 1.5 percent raise. we appreciate it but it's not enough. we find it insulting that kaiser is gouging this money. it's a cut for us and cost more to work and live and buy food in this city. so we are demanding that you block the kaiser rate increase and give at least the 4.5 increase to the workers to do valuable work in the city. >> hello. thank you for looking into this situation. just an example of some of the work we do and why it's important to get funded. one of our clients, he's in our program for a year with bipolar disorder and working at sf general. before he went there, he would not speak. because he started working there, they offer services to people with mental health issues, he started learning how to initiate conversations to become more functioning person. but recently sf general had to cut that program and he had to quit, they had to quit paying him and he wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and comes back at 3:00 p.m.. t
