the enrollment potential is greater. reckitt research indicates that more than -- market research indicates that more than 15,000 travelers will enroll with an additional 21 million undecided. 36 million travelers, these 36 million travelers are our target. the continuing collaboration with private sectors are vital to tsa's ability to implement risk-based security. cooperation and engagement with these partners is essential in helping tsa and establish and expand the pre-check program which now includes 11 airlines representing 85% of domestic travelers with 530 pre-check lanes now operating at 133 airports. the tsa plays an important role in partnerships with our aviation system and is committed to fielding responsive risk-based solution that can enhance our security posture. thank you for the opportunity to testify and for your support and interest in our --. >> i don't know if you time to that but you are within a few seconds of five minutes. that is pretty good. the pre-check of homeland security the best example of

one is that parents may enroll in a program or a community based pre k program. students don't have to actually attend tk so the option is pre-k or other alternative methods that are aligned with the parents' belief system or transitional kindergarten and i want to take time to say this is actually we think a very good thing that parents can look at their own child and decide do i want my child to stay in pre-k and we're okay with them being in pre-k in the district or the community and to give you an example of the partnership between the district and the community based programs we have dr. jerry yang here today from the head start program who we have an amazing partnership with and this was a partnership that he actually introduced to us and for us to participate in activities with the asian museum so our centers that are located at tole elecand -- and they go through professional development and visit the museums so we have students in tk and pre-k from both there and the district who are partnering together so this option is actually a really good option for

, enrollment in rural areas did lead behind enrollment in urban areas. i think there are a number of reasons for that. a lot of people signing up for coverage, especially for the first time, needed the help of the sisters, and the sisters are easier to access and the urban areas. i think there were efforts in place during the second open enrollment period. it is possible that when we analyze the data we will see an increase in rural areas, but i think it is an area where we need to focus attention. not only are the coverage error -- coverage rates lower, but it is a problem in rural areas. >> thank you. >> we have only about five minutes left, so i would ask while you are waiting -- listening to the last couple of questions, if you would pull out the blue evaluation form and start filling that out, that would be very helpful. >> this is a question for paul -- if the government wants to encourage enrollment, why would it include the cadillac tax under aca? what is the harm of employers providing coverage exceeding $10,200 per employee or 27,500 for a fami

my calculation is to sustain it with an entirely enrolled population we need 25 million americans enrolled in tsa pre-check. today combined with our existing low risk populations members of congress and et cetera, our own application programs and border protections, trusted traveler programs, we have about 6.5 million. we need to quadruple the number of individuals. that will take us a bit of time to do. that ultimately is our goal. we would like to be able to significantly dial back on both manage inclusion and risk assessments rules and replace that current volume with enrolled population. >> i know i'm a little over time but i want to follow up briefly on that. two things from a resource stand point i know that's one of genesis from the management inclusion program. is it fair to say there's a number of tsa employees who work on a part-time basis. >> i believe so. >> if you can address you know when high peak hours and high peak traffic will be isn't it possible for tsa to utilize employees to deal with high traffic areas and not resort to management inclusion? >> i think we're doing a

they also helped enroll people. they help figure out what they are eligible for, and what the gentleman indicated, it sounds like he is been serving as one help them figure out what is available to them, and what is their, and optimal plan choice. although the law does include some new standardization for health plans, and other words they have to cover the essential health benefits, there are still some and norma's amounts of flexibility for the carriers particularly around cost-sharing, but also services. as a result, it can be overwhelming for consumers to figure out what is right for them. . the consumer checkbook has helped develop tools help people figure out their choices. we are hopeful, in addition to illinois more will employ those tools. other states are looking at greater standardization of help -- health plan options. narrowing even further, the kind of flexibility the insurers have, for example buried copayments or deductibles for specific services. that may be something to look to the future. some sta

we have an step up to the plate enrollment form and the process that i don't think we're near enough professional we'll continue to do professional development with that form it requires a sign off of the principle and the courage not only a counselor call. >> i want to remind everyone that so we can get this write every year we should have a survey every year so every year we should have less money by the way, we have less need that's something i look forward to next year so i hope this year i don't see a reduction i can see 2015 and maybe a little bit of 2016 so we should require less money. >> superintendent. >> yeah. great robust conversations i think that the intent of the board is very crystal clear i'll suggest that perhaps we continue this conversation commissioner vice president haney again, it is the hottest ticket in town the committee so have an ongoing reporting. >> we'll now move towards questions around vaping pa i want to remind any colleagues there are flaws let's focus on the monuments how much money we're allocating and we'll need to think of at leadership needs to

some 35,000 students are currently enrolled here. students come from all over china and are aged between 6 to 18 years old. once a year, they display the results of their hard training in a tournament. the event includes a form of traditional martial arts dance. there is also sanda, a type of chinese kick boxes. many of the students come from poor farming villages for har a sh training. with china's current emphasis on academic success, seeing these children so focused on kung-fu is a curious sigts. for these youngsters, kung-fu is a way of escaping from the bottom rungs of society. they are literally fighting with their lives. >> the city of deng feng is hope to ancient temple which has achieved a mythical status around the world. the shaolin temple has a 1500-year history, but didn't become famous internationally until the 1980s. at a that time, kung-fu bearing the team's name hit the world's movie screens. now, kung-fu shows are held every night, attracting tourists from all parts of the world. many have been established around th

today the women who enroll in women's colleges are african-american and la tina. there are many low income women for these populations who are new populations in higher education. they love women's colleges. they're not in the past for them. very much in the present. they want to be empowered. and by the way, we enroll a significantly number of older women as well in their 30s and 40s who come back to school to finish degree that they deferred. so the new women's college is significantly more urban. it is significantly representative of new populations and higher education and it's very accessible to low income women when is not the history of women's colleges. >> that's a positive and up lifting profile. why have they had such a rough half century. >> when you look at that data because i've studied the original 230 and in fact about 90 of the original colleges closed or merges but a lot of them were small catholic colleges who worked for nuns for free. then those women left the con vent and the economic model collapsed. it was different in schools already paying

the reasons, moderate growth in health care spending lower enrollment.ates to decide to expand medicate. 22 million americans are expected to enroll in the exchange. 25 million will likely remain uninsure uninsured. a big surprise. >> if that cost curve bends down that is good for the economy. >>> 43 minutes after the hour. what came first? the plan to annex crimea or the plan to make it happen? for the first time vladimir putin with words to suggest curious things here. a live report right after the break. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

and when we did do analyses for 2014 enrollment in rural areas did lag behind enrollment in urban areas. i think there are a number of reasons for that. a lot of people signing up for coverage especially those who are getting coverage for the first time needed the help of assisters, and the assisters are more serious to access in urban areas. i think there were efforts in place during the second open enrollment period. to have greater availability of assisters in rural areas. so it's possible that when we analyze the data for 2015 we'll see that there was an increase in enrollment in rural areas. but i think it is still very much an area where we need to focus attention. not only are the coverage rates a little bit lower but access to care is also much more of a problem in rural areas. >> thank you. >> we have only about five minutes left, so i would ask while you're listening to the last couple of questions if you would pull out the blue evaluation form and start to fill it out, that would be very helpful. thank you. >> this is a question that i'm going to direct to paul. if the federa

more real way and they can potentially opt-out and so by this time next year we'll have a fully enrolled program and our initial offering will be around 30 megawatts which is around 270 thousand san francisco accounts. that's my presentation. happy to take any questions. >> all right thank you general manager hale. all right. thank you. yes, director raphael. >> wow that is fast that's exciting that's moving very fast thank you barbara. something that director fried brought up that that that i hadn't thought about and i'm interested in barbara and geof commenting on is this mix of residential and commercial so geof can you talk about how you guys solved that and barbara how you see that? >> as mr. fried referred to there's a requirement to offer service to residential customers under the cca statute but that aside you would want to anyway there's an economic quirk of cca -- if you follow something like pg&e's rate structure and that is that residential rates are generally fixed year round and commercial rates are seasonal summer and winter and a big difference between summer and winter r

said if an issue replaces most or all drugs that treat the plan it discriminates or discourages enrollment that is a clear practice and the federal budget proposal currently before congress allows the skeet of health and him services allows the high cost preparation drugs the affordable health care act eliminated the ability of the government to negotiate drug pricing there are also is statewide effort to address the tiering last year, it was sb passed that covered the california covered plan the sub stabilize that program that helps patient to look at the medications they need just recently earlier 24 year covered california encompassed additional requirements for implementation the addition to those all the time by sb 52 we wanted it earlier and created a standardized definition and for conditions treated with speciality medication hasn't at least one medication must be on tier 1, 2, 3 and physical evidence looking at the future for t

again, whether they're newly enrolling or revalidating. at the highest level of risk, say a home company or health agency they are screened to make sure there are no criminal records that would keep a provider out of the program. but in addition the higher risk providers face site visits, they face fingerprint-based background checks, so a multitude of different screening approaches for the higher risk providers, and that also includes providers who are attempting to reenroll after having a program integrity action taken against them in the past. the result of all this work, and to date we have revalidated a million of the providers and suppliers in medicare, and the task of this work of reenrolling and revalidating is we have removed the building privileges of over 450,000 enrollments in medicare. i can tell that you these new enrollment requirements are also allowing us to deny more applications at the front end so providers actually never make it into the program because they do not qualify. >> that's what i was about to ask you. so as

those that don't enroll in the seven-month enrollment period which starts several months before they turn 65 and ends several months after they turn 65 are required to pay a late enrollment penalty. the penalty is significant and lasts for as long as that individual receives medicare. this system has operated to puerto rico's detriment. there are tens of thousands of seniors on the island who enrolled late in part b and each year they pay millions of dollars in late penalties to the federal government. there are also over 100,000 seniors in puerto rico who are enrolled in part a but not in part b. when those individuals seek to enroll in part b in the future they, too, will be required to pay lifetime penalties. i'm working to address this issue on both the administrative and the legislative front. i persuaded the federal government to improve the written materials they make available to island seniors so that they're better informed by the part b enrollment period and the financial consequences of late enrollment. in addition i'm refiling legislation today that would convert puerto

they just automatically re-enroll. we had that as part of the marketplace this year but we no he -- know that the majority of people came in and shopped and that is i think related to the competition and related to a consumer that wants to make the best choice. that choice is sometimes based on benefits, sometimes it is based on cost. cost has a number of different elements, whether that's premium or deductible. >> i'd like to call out some kudos on the gme, increase in the budget. the msh money you put in for medicare appeals. we do a lot of work with people having trouble nevada gating the system big time and the investment in primary care docs. the only thing i am a little concerned about, if we're going for bundled payments why we are handlering on the medicare advantage plans a little bit. >> as i mentioned to you ary colleague, i think what we're trying to do is balance, making sure that those plans are good and strong. we've seen that over the period of changes we've done. we try and do the changes in a measured

i couldn't help about ask for a minute to highlight the florida enrollment numbers under the aca.rkable. and i know you've seen them and we've talked about it. as of february 15th, over 1.6 million floridians have signed up for health insurance in the federally facilitated market place. we were surprised. this exceeded all of our expectations to beat california and texas and especially in a state that had many fits and starts over whether to assist our neighbors in signing up. but i wanted to highlight a couple of stories. a 27-year-old third year law student at the university of south law who got assistance, from the navigator. his income is $16,000 a year in scholarships and he was able to find insurance for approximately $10 per month, zero deductible and it is his second year of enrolling in the market place he is very happy with his coverage. there are stories like that again and again and so i look forward to talking about it. thank you. >> gentle lady yields back. that concludes the oral opening statements. as usual, all of the written opening statements will be made a part

what do we know belled the recent enrollment and where are we? >> guest: there is another in open enrollment that just are did yesterday. 11.7 million americans have been ruled that because a lot of them may not know about the penalty they have over the tax period to sign up for insurance and not get a penalty next year. >> host: cbo is projecting a decrease in spending. >> but it is still very expensive and will cost the country 1.2 trillion dollars over the next 10 years but projections for the program keep getting low worker in january it was 11% higher than henhawk last week. >> one of the things has to do with lower in roman numbers in the stages than previously were thought. the cbo of rich and the projected 30 million will lead it will but now it is 11.7. vhs sees that as a huge success because they projected the numbers to be 9.9 billion. >> health care reporter taking your calls and a few minutes. our guest is currently a health care reporter where were you writing prior? >> for the center of public integrity. >> tell us what the cbo had
