, the current medi cal program that serves these people will be unchanged. those newly eligible will enroll into managed medi cal, it's important to note that eligibility does not equal enrollment, enrollment is not automatic, even today, about 1.3 million californians are already eligible for medi cal but have not enrolled, individuals will have to apply for medi cal which they can do at any time during the year. our exchange is called cover california, cover california is an online marketplace where individuals can purchase health insurance. individuals who have incomes that are above the medi cal threshold and californians can buy health insurance on this stage. there are four standard tiers that will be offered, they're called bronze, silver, gold and platinum, the difference is their percentage of annual cost that is the health plan covers, bronze covers 60% of cost, silver, 70, gold, 80 and platinum, 90, there's a catastrophic plan that also will be available. there are sliding scale subsidies available to low-income individuals on covered california u

cal fire has an aviation policy as well. we work cooperatively with the agencies here at the table to ensure when we are engaged in an aerial fire fighting event we are working within each other's policies. we have trained in a work around, we can do close air support with navy and marine corps aircraft, with the current system we have. would we like to improve upon it? absolutely. we have gone very high up in the organization to try and look at getting the r210 radio modified to the point where it can work on our vhf spectrums, that's one of our challenges we need to move forward with. but overall we're confident when we do call upon dod assets to integrate with civilian aircraft, the training regimen we put forth will keep aircrews safe and also have them be effective. there was a lot of questions from a political level as well as a public level. you've got aircraft sitting at north island, just launch them, get them in the fight. it was hard to explain to them that that's a very delicate air space when you have fixed wing

thousand 500 will be eligible for some kind of health insurance. 28 thousand will be eligible for medi cal and 12 thousand 500 will be eligible for covered california, 19 thousand 500 will be ineligible for coverage, those will be the undocumented residents or people who have other reasons not being subject to the mandate. eligibility does not equal an enrollment and people will have to actively enroll into health insurance to get the coverage they are entitled to, so of the 40 thousand 500 we think are eligible, about 25 thousand will access insurance. this is based on a 62.5% rate of retention that we currently experience in the healthy san francisco program, so we have anticipate hated our retention rate which is quite good for our program will translate into health insurance enrollment. this leaves about 15 thousand 500 who represent those who may be eligible but do not enroll in health insurance. and they might not enroll for any number of reasons, enrollment is complex, they may choose to pay the penalty rather than enroll in insurance, they may choose to pay the penalty rather than

eligible will be able to apply to medi cal without no cost to thel, so that will be an easy decision, as the income gets higher, the cost sharing gets higher. >> what percentage will be lgbt? >> i do not have that percentage. >> thank you. >> within the department of public health, we really have a two-fold focus on health reform implementation. first is about dph's own health care delivery system. we are looking to ready our system to be the provider of choice for our patients, our uninsured parents have not had a wide choice of health care providers but health insurance provides them with that choice, we want them to choose us. a recent survey indicated that 60% of low-income individuals who are uninsured would change their provider if they were given the choice to do so so we are responding to that challenge and integrating the service we offer throughout our delivery system so we do a better job to coordinate the care our patients need, we're working to improve quality and capacity to increase access to care, we're enhancing our patient's experience by shortening waiting times an

that forced so cal to shut down. the other clinic in los angeles county accused of similar practices remains open. just last year a county report on pomona alcohol and drug recovery center found significant and serious deficiencies in the program. the operator of both clinics is a man named tim agindu who told the county his business is a pillar in our community. the fraud allegations, they came from disgruntled, fired ex-employees. tim wouldn't tell us anything. >> yes. >> drew griffin with cnn. >> and who are you? >> i just told you. i'm drew griffin with cnn. >> i don't -- >> wait a minute -- your former employees say you are billing for the county services you're not providing, sir. he soon left without talking to us. if you have nothing to hide, why are you taking off? we found case after case of rehab centers like pomona with a history of problems that still are allowed to keep billing the state. tamara is a former counselor at pride health services who claims she was told to bill for clients she didn't actuall
