of our enrollment projections and it can continue through and does not have an open enrollment periodnd can continue at any time. so the universal healthcare council really was established to look at the intersection of the aca and the hcso and as a supervisor mentioned, there were several key principles that were defined under the council. and the key findings of the council were that both laws can co-exist, but that affordability concerns remained for some population and included a list of suggestions from the members of it is council and the department of public health has been implementing some of the uhc suggestions, for example, healthy san francisco eligibility was extended to 2014 to be sure that no one was without services due to affordability or complications with applying for health insurance. we conducted out reach for city mra account holders during the coverage california open enrollment period to make sure that they could use the balances to purchase health insurance on coverage california and we really began looking at the issue of affordability that was identified in

. >> i am telling you that we are implementing the affordable care act and as the enrollment figures have shown, we have out paced our projections in enrollment and people in san francisco have more access to health insurance than they did before and those who don't have access, they continue to be eligible for healthy san francisco. >> well, i am still not clear, on what it is that is different about what is being proposed here. because you are still going to have to deal with the aca unless you are saying that you are not ready, and we are actually have been saying for quite some time by the way my office urging the department of public health we actually have been held hearings because we were not seeing much action from the department of public health in terms of getting ready for the implementation. and so if that is where we are, the truth is that the department of public health is admitting that it is not ready for the aca, we should know that. >> that is not what i said supervisor. coverage san francisco is a different program. coverage san francisco is a subsidy program that

on april 1st, tell us how many were enrolled at the end of month.administration wanted to know those paid enrollment numbers, they could know them by now. realistic by the end of may, we should have all of those paid enrollment numbers through the end of rope enrollment. >> what do you think a more accurate number might be instead of the 67%? >> it's going to vary state by state. what we've been hearing from insurers is that they're looking on average at 15% to 20% unpaid premiums. i'd expect the number to hover there with bigger numbers in poorer states and higher numbers in states where more enthusiastic about obamacare and that are probably wealthier, too. >> yeah. i mean, let's take a look at this from an economic point of view. we are cnbc and that's what we do. the penalty is 1% of your income over the tax minimum of $10,100. divide that by 12. in some cases, people are smart. won't they just make the economically rational division unless they're going to have a catastrophe in their life and take the cheaper option? >> for young people making

the open enrollment period is over.re's a lot of room to go down if people aren't happy with obamacare. you can end your insurance at any point for any time for any reason whatsoever. so, you know, now we're sitting on the couch and we're speculating why they're not reporting these numbers. >> they've taken away a monthly benchmark that would be used as an opportunity to talk about this issue and rightfully so. obamacare is affecting so many people's lives. they've understood let's not give them a monthly benchmark. make them cry for about a week but from their mind, it's good politics to turn it down. transparent administration america, of course not. they want obamacare to go away. >> do you know what benchmark i would like to see? i haven't heard how the security is twoing work for health care.gov. as more people dump out of the state's exchanges because they're failing and then sign on to the big national one, i want to know that they're going to be safe and secure. so that is an update. i don't care what the number

you are seeing more people enrolled in the program and there will be more enrolled, and according to the public comments by the insurance companies that have been up-to-date, at least 85 to 90% of the people that have been enrolled in the insurance programs have paid their deues. >> that makes no sense whatsoever. if you have a store that is full of fraud and being over charged and increasing the customer count from ten to 50 customers a day does not magically fix it. the math does not work in anybody's real world. >> the obamacare, the costs is crowding out spending on other things, and so many people have to spend on health care? >> yeah, i think you will see premiums go up for the reason john said and the other reason p p p premiums are going up, and one man signed up so he could get the heart surgery, and god bless the guy, he got the surgery, but that points to the whole roost obamacare is, and now the insurance company has one month of premiums and has to pay off hundreds of thousands in medical bills for this guy. i am glad he got the surgeon raoe, but that's the point. that's

enroll numbers. their chief executive officer says the risk pool and the product selection seems to be coming in the manner we hoped it would. united health care which had a small footprint in these exchanges has changed its bias to increase the participation in exchanges in 2015 because it's says it saw a positive response from consumers who enrolled in the plans that they did offer in limited states in greater than expected numbers. 15 million people including eight million people on private insurance plans enrolled saving money for taxpayers, for insurance companies. that's the real story of the affordable care act. and, madam president, let me just finish by shaig a couple more stories from connecticut with you. i'm going to share them through the eyes of the enrollers and the enrollers and the assisters are the heroes of these last several months. there was an embarrassing rollout of the affordable care act in the fall of last year, a web site that should have been working on day one that wasn't

take a look at the stats. 8 million plus enrolled. 28% between the ages of 18 and 34. 4.8 million enrolledmber of paid policies really unknown according to hhs. what about all of this charles. >> i want to get one example of how you can never get a straight story or fact out of this administration. when obama did the victory lap on the day when the enrollment closed and he announced the 7 million, he said 35% of the enrollees are under the age of 35. now that sounds good because you only have to hit 38 or so. but what he was including was 7-year-olds. he did it in a way that you wouldn't understand when you see it now. the ones that count, the ones that are actually adults, 18 and 34. only 28%. that was a number he covered up. if you like or disguise it, it is a lot higher. that's the way it always is with this administration. >> ran out of time but we got through. that's it for the panel. but stay tuned to see how our own mr. sunday rolls.

and that means that people who enroll in a plan through a private option are medicaid enrollees, and that means that all of the constraints and conditions that the state or the federal government would put around the terms of that are present, unless they're relieved due to a waiver. so, contracting with plans through an exchange is not qualitatively different than contracting with plans directly, which is what state medicaid agencies do all the time. the issue is that the exchange plan relationship is still -- it's brand new and we don't know much about it. we don't know where it's going to settle out. so i do think -- one of the earlier questions was sort of, i talk about one kind of thing and the others were all operational. i do think much of this is operational. the boundaries are fairly clear. the question is operationally, can you make it work? and if you could make it work do you get the benefit you thought we were going to get. in terms of what the flexibility is for the state, it's not that different from any other section 1115 waiver. and the legal into it. to the enrollee

. >> all right, so what do they enroll in the after school program and when can they enroll in the summer programs? >> we are doing preregistration right now. i want to let angela answer about the summer. >> spots are filling up, we are registering now, enroll now. >> what does it cost those that can afford it and you mentioned the scholarships for those that can't. >> $220 a week it everythiavera we heavily subsidize our programs. i encourage you if you are in need, fill out a financial assistance program and we can go from there. full day. 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. >> a lot of excedrin? >> coffee. >> any final thoughts? here's the information on the east valley ymca. >> yeah, contact and look on our website, come to our branch. say hello to us. we are more than welcome, we have a welcome center. >> any final thoughts? >> if you looking for a great place this summer, the y is the place to be. >> thank you for what you are doing for the kids. >> thank you. >> up next on "comunidad del valle" the voices of latin rock. >> now, here is what is happening in your "comunidad del valle." here is a

providers are prevented in enrolling. c.m.s. has performed moratorium on providers and contracted for finger-based background checks for high-risk providers. however, c.m.s. has not completed certain actions, which would be helpful in fighting fraud. it has not yet published regulations to require disclosures of information taken against providers, such a payment suspensions and it has not published regulations establishing the core element of compliance programs or requirements for surety bonds for certain times of at-risk providers. with respect to review of claims for payment, medicare uses prepayment review to deny payment for claims that should not be paid and post payment review to recover improperly paid claims. prepayment reviews are typically automated systems that could prevent improper payment systems. for example, some prepayment edits check to see if the claim is filled out properly and that the provider is enrolled in medicare. others check to see if the service is covered by medicare. we found some weakness

the first is about enrollment, the risk pool. know particularly in the private option in arkansas and this is sort of specific to the demographics of arkansas, but it is vast majority of enrollees are in the medicaid population. you also have a pretty significant portion of your enrollment coming from youre high-risk pool. soo how is this affecting overal risk and rates? then the second portion is, the private option seems to be moving a lot of cost controlses inherent in traditional medicaid programs. so how is this kind of marry to increase costs and in state and federal budgets? >> so excellent question. let me set up the answer to the first. so if you's remember on my slids roughly there were 200 to 250,000 that could beem newly eligible for medicaid and same amount that would be newly eligible for the tax reds. we're about 160,000 into the medicaid and we're only 45,000 into the taxre credits. you allude to two previous high-risk pools, one that the state had ren and one the affordable care act established that were terminat

would it be in time for the 2015 annual enrollment to begin? and in michigan, when do you anticipate the state would have the legal authority to move to more of a partnership exchange and then eventually to a state-based exchange. >> we have the political experience of not wind have anything. a federal exchange. the fed said, we don't really want it. i actually don't think we could done a private auction at the state had not have control over the planned management function to be able to marry the medicaid program and the private marketplace. in some of the legislation surrounding the private auction legislation was the establishment of an independent health marketplace board that i think likely will advocate to move from the federal partnership to a state on the exchange, probably not before calendar year 2016. think the timing is too tight to get to a calendar year 2015. >> the exchange is and exactly in my wheel house mobile what i would say is both the house and senate at different times chose not to act in an affirmative way either a state

joining me now is ann falipik from the group enroll america, which worked to sign up people for healthcratic strategist margie omara. thank you both for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> how did you help get 8 million people signed up for health care despite creepy uncle sam and $400 until negative ads? >> well, reverend, i think it really comes back to this. when it comes to the issue of health care for their families, americans are not interested in politics and the misinformation that's coming along with those sorts of ads. they're interested in the facts. and the really powerful thing, and i think that tells a lot about dmur of the affordable care act, the more people have the facts, the more interested they are. and what we saw is at the end of the day, in this first enrollment period, over 12.8 million americans gained access to coverage through the marketplace, floug medicaid and through chip. and that number is rising day by day. so at the end of the day, ads like that, they aren't working because americans are taking steps to enroll. >> is creepy uncle sam a symbol of th

in fact, enrollment far outpaced what initial expectations were. beat the c.b.o. estimate by about 2 million people. so clearly republicans were wrong when they said that nobody was going to sign up for the affordable care act. they were also wrong when they said the web site couldn't be fixed. no excuse for what happened in the fall of last year on the web site but it got up and running. and once it did, people were able to get on in record numbers. they said it was going to kill jobs. the affordable care act is going to kill jobs. well, we have done nothing but add jobs by the millions since the affordable care act was passed. if you've seen the chart, which i don't have down here on the floor, that shows what has happened since the affordable care act went into law, job growth has continued unabated. specifically, republicans said, well, it's going to result in people who were working full time to move to part-time work. well, the congressional budget office said in a report that came out about two months ago that there's absolutely no economic evidence to sugg

identified at least ten families that illegally enrolled there. the only family being prosecuted is the garcias. >> let's ask the garcia family to be an example to try close that war, this can lap to you. >> it's an interesting phrase you use, across the border. >> that's how they treat the montgomery school district. >> we're talking about philly not canada. >> there is a line that they don't want people to cross. >> soledad adds, since her interview with the garcias, he has pled guilty for knowingly providing false information. they had to pay back $11,000 worth of stolen education will not face jail time. >>> a new report confirms though that even six decades after the brown decision america's classrooms are still separate and unequal. in new york, illinois, maryland and michigan, more than half of black students attend school districts where more than half the minority are a majority. in 2011 only 23% of black students attended a majority white school. the opposite to 1968. gary orfield details what he found. >> gary, thank you for joining us.

last fall i had the pleasure to train, 115 staff from the department of public health on how to enroll people in the coverage california, many have been working with the clinics and the population since the program began in 2007 and they know these patients very well, they were so excited to learn about the program and the prospect of helping people enroll. and well, when we got to the part of the training about the cost of the premiums, the cost of the co-pays and the cost of the deductibles their eyes got very wide. and mouths dropped open, and coverage california is significantly more expensive than the healthy san francisco program. and these staff knew that the first time they saw the sticker price that it was going to be unaffordable for their patients. staff who were very upset and even angry. they so wanted to be the bearer of the good news, and now they tell them that their coverage was going to be out of reach. this was not a job they wanted. their fears were realized i have countless stories directly from people that i have worked with that the coverage california costs are

so what we intend to do for the tens of thousands of people we have enrolled in medical is target those who are not yet on cal fresh and do we colleen an in reach strategy and get them to avoil themselves of the cal fresh benefits so basically two needs, one is staff to do that in reach and second is staff to manage that on-going case load. as you can see by the graph, the red line below, although fte's have grown, they haven't grown proportionate with the case load yet the state when they do their funding models to county looks at that and funds us accordingly. so we are looking at that state money and know we can hire additional workers to do the in reach, to do the outreach, and manage the case load. i don't have to tell you the benefit to families but it's a huge need for families trying to manage high rents, high cost of living in san francisco and having a few extra dollars toward food is significant and one of the strategies for the food insecurity task force is to increase cal fresh food stamps enrollment and specifically approximately 36,000 households in san francisco we think

idaho officials, what they had hoped to do was enroll 40,000 people. they topped it out at 76,000 people through the state exchange. and of course success in kentucky with their program is very well documented. democrats need to highlight the advantages of medicaid expansion and point out millions of low income americans are going without health care coverage because of gop resistance in some states. researchers at harvard and city university of new york estimate that in 24 states who rejected medicaid expansion which 7,000 and 17,000 people may die due to lack of care. now, i don't know who taught you math, but in my world, 17,000 people, that's no small number. what are the conservatives doing? not to say that what happened at benghazi and the death of americans on foreign soil isn't important, but conservatives now in hearing number nine, they are obsessing over the incident in benghazi where four americans lost their lives. we know what happened. but republicans are ignoring thousands of americans who are putting lives at risk by not having the opp

classes and 20% enrolled in calculus classes. this dumbing down of expectations is devastating to students, families, and communities, and ultimately to our nation. this final slide highlights opportunity gaps in our schools. most schools today have nowhere near the bandwidth in their schools. two-thirds of teachers wish they had more technology in their classrooms. it engages students in their own learning and helps students to visualize their own instructions. other nations take these opportunities more seriously than we do. in south korea, a high-performing nation educationally, 100% of their students have access to high-speed internet. here in the united states, it is 20%. 20% versus 100%. our student, our teachers and our schools lack the bandwidth to take advantage of the new tools that could accelerate efforts to close glaps and ensure that is all students graduate from high school college and career ready. how is it fair to our children? how it is fair to our hard-working teach centers teac? the theme running through pres

that is because consumers that tried to enroll once might have enrolled more. >> results are in after primaries in three states, including two big battle grounds in the 2012 election. one key race in company saw tom tillis defeat several challengers to run against kay hagan. republicans think she is vulnerable because of her position on obamacare. they hope to win it to take back the majority. carl is live for us. tom tillis wants to knock off hagan. can he do it? >> no question about it. and the gop's chances are stronger because he got more than 40% to delay the distraction and beat his tea party rival 2-1. north carolina was one battle ground state the president carried in 2009. hagan backed obamacare, stimulus and climate issues. this is tillis last night. >> we need to be clear, though, this isn't the end of the prima primary. it is the beginning of the primary mission: which is to beat hagan and make reed a relevant american. >> primary mission on the national level and politics were in place. jeb bush backed tillis but rand paul backed the tea party canada and mike huckabee was

much as i think was done in the case of enrollment numbers.we can be very cordial today, but if you want to change the relationship your department has with congress, you are going to have to be willing to break the by any means necessary mindset we have seen for the past five years. my question is this. do you think it is possible for you to change the by any means necessary culture at hhs that some of us in congress of you as bordering on lawless? , thank you. harkening to my experience at the office of management and budget, there are challenging issues. ais, iook around this d have had the opportunity to talk with you on a number of things that are positive and difficult. that is something i consider it my responsibility to do. i hope people feel in my role at omb that i have done that. whether that is moving to more timely responses, the regulatory agenda is sometimes a controversial thing. since i have been the director of omb, we have been on time getting that out in the spring in the fall. the midsession review, a document with a lot o

because, you know, the enrollment date has been delayed now until later this year. the date at which plans get proved has been delayed until the day before the election which is very convenient. we know they're going to be filing rates. we know there will be real world impact on these things. in interest of transparency you talked a lot about would you submit those rates when you get them from insurers? >> issue of premiums and rates i think we all are very interested and want to see directional same way of with regard to specifics whatnk hhs receives an what and how, something in my current role i'm not familiar with and want to get to the department.he what i will say, senator, is if i am confirmed that is something i want to understand and work with you on. >> thankt you, mr. chairman (123)450-6789 thank you, senator thune. just very briefly, miss burwell i very much appreciate your reference to part-d. i was one who voted for part-d. george bush's major initiative. we worked in bipartisan way.nc i hopee we work in the bipartin day in the days on reference. d. se

less than 10% of those individuals have enrolled in health care plans.nd in looking at the numbers behind it, it really comes down, again, to the cost. the aca has more than doubled premiums in the state. i shared with you that a 19-year-old alaskan could pay $911 back in 2013 for one of the low cost premier plans. if they buy the most comparable plan now for that same product, the plan is more than double the cost at over $2,300. then i walked through the statistics with 64-year-olds. mr. chairman, i'm going to be submitting for the record a document that my staff has put together with premiere and blue cross that shows the gao recorded data on premiums in alaska in 2013 as compared to where we are now. just so, again, there can be a better understanding as to what we're facing here. we're not -- we have not worked to reduce the cost of health care, which we must do. and i appreciate what senator murphy has said about -- about delivery reform. but in the meantime, the financial burden to our families is such that they're looking at this and saying, i'm

much as i think was done in the case of enrollment numbers. we can be very cordial today, but if you want to change the relationship your department has with congress, you are going to have to be willing to break the by any means necessary mindset we have seen for the past five years. my question is this. do you think it is possible for you to change the by any means necessary culture at hhs that some of us in congress of you as bordering on lawless? , thank you. harkening to my experience at the office of management and budget, there are challenging issues. ais, iook around this d have had the opportunity to talk with you on a number of things that are positive and difficult. that is something i consider it my responsibility to do. i hope people feel in my role at omb that i have done that. whether that is moving to more timely responses, the regulatory agenda is sometimes a controversial thing. since i have been the director of omb, we have been on time getting that out in the spring in the fall. the midsession review, a document with a lot

so we see the diapers as a way to increase enrollment and participation within those programs. >> now, let's talk about the asian american community with regard to the need for diapers or perhaps any cultural obstacles about cloth diapers. what's going on there? >> we partner with two organizations in the bay area that specifically do outreach to apa families. we found that we distribute both disposable and cloth diapers to those families. we found that within apa communities, especially with immigrant families, community is very important, building community within those groups is really important and so the diapers are used as an insensitive to increase enrollment and participation and get families to come to the center so they can build community and so that the program staff can actually also keep tabs on intake families that may not have that support and that network because they're recent immigrants. >> it's also a way to get them help, whether it's job support, resume seeking and that kind of stuff that they get help with. that's great. is there a cultural reluctance to accept

if i knew that we bear down on it and get folks enrolled, i knew it would work. in each instance, my primary decision is based on, how can i deliver service to the american people, and how can i deliver for our veterans? because there are people in integrity, in both cases of secretary sibelius and rick shinseki, their view is, what is it that will best deliver on behalf of folks who have been let down. >> at the time you felt she had so many knowledge -- so much knowledge on what went wrong, you could not afford to lose that. as someone with three months of experience at the department have the capacity to attack the problem quickly now? >> we will need a new v.a. secretary. sloan is acting. sloan would be the first to acknowledge that he has a learning curve to deal with. the nature of the problem that has surfaced and has been the cause of this attention is one that we can start tackling right away, and without completely transforming the system, we can make some progress. we will have longer-term issues we have to take care of. my first step is, everybody out

evidence that boko haram's affects and attacks affected enrolments. dozens of schools have been destroyed and academic activities disrupted. >> reporter: schools like this in the state are closed, except for students taking final exams. they were shut two months ago after boko haram stepped up its attacks op schools. some parents say the action was wrong, and giving in to boko haram's threats will have serious consequences. >> they want people to remain illiterates. they want people to go back to the old days, and have society as animals. they don't want anyone to go to school, particularly women. we cannot train our children or daughters to become billion airs, doctors, or whatever. it means our society is doomed. >> despite government promises to secure schools, the attacks and killings continue with an impact on school enrolment and numbers. more than 10.5 million children are out of nigeria's education system, and the increasing number of attacks on schools, especially in the north, means parents face a tough choice. child safety or education. >>>

combined enrollments in the marketplaces topped 8 million, better than feared of course.r critics not that impressive. >> over 300 million americans. millions have policys cancelled and a shuffling around of job insurance and status. that is the bottom line. >> and officials confirm that the exchanges are signing up 28 percent of the 18- 34-year-olds. and key demographic and they help to subsiddize older and sicker people. president obama claimed that 35 percent had signed up but that included children. >> the seven-year-olds are coming along with mom and dad. and target demographic is 18- 34. and they got 28 instead of 40. >> one of the big questions were how many had policys cancelled even though the doctor promised they could keep their doctors and plans. one analyst said only half of the eventual sign ups are those previously uninsured. >> another half of the people are pushed in obama care because they lost the employer sponsored coverage. >> so the administration exceeded the low numbers it once feared and republicans are quick to note that 800 million are three per

you know, it's open enrollment all year long for people that -- for people to enroll in medicaid. and as you've seen in kentucky, hundreds of thousands of people, and there could even be millions more, if the states would embrace obamacare and let lower income people join it. but, you know, mitch mcconnell was wrong on every front. they could not keep, if they repealed obamacare, they could not even keep the medicaid portion, because many of the people now eligible for medicaid would not be, if it weren't for the expansion under obamacare. so he's even wrong about that. >> right. well, you did give him credit, at least for trying to clarify that kynect, in the local form of health care, was obamacare. do you think house republicans are changing their tune on obamacare at all? >> well, i think that we're seeing less, you know. we've seen them kind of shift over to false scandals like benghazi and other things. and i haven't heard as much about obamacare. and so my thought is that they have realized, and i'm sure they're doing the same polling that we do, is that many people really
