the whole idea was to reduce extensive er used by expanding medicaid. authors and supporters of the affordable care act, which included expanding medicaid, argued that the new beneficiaries would stop going to the er where care is very expensive because they would have conventional insurance coverage they could use at their doctors offices. the facts indicated otherwise. costs a tremendous amount for having so little impact on patient health. 2016, total spending on the 65dicaid program was 5 billion. it is interesting that double the population of canada are now on medicaid. in the state of california, one third of the 39 million residents in the state are on medi-cal. that is the equivalent of the population of canada. the federal government's medicaid cap is protected to increase 75% over the next decade. that is a problem and i am that many of you will be able to work to help to solve this problem. perhaps we should not be surprised by organs experience with medicaid expansion. did amous rand institute 15 year study that was considered the largest h

right to try doesn't open access beyond expanded access. it won't make a difference a what we have today. the other thing is particularly at the early stages of drug development, when drugs are considered phase one, all that is required for them to be eligible for right to try, there is little evidence that those drugs are going to make a difference. some of them will be effective, but 90% of drugs failed to reach the market because they are showed to be unsafe or not effective. there may be times when patients benefit under right to try. they probably would have benefited from the same drugs under expanded access. unfortunately, the vast majority of the time those drugs are not going to be helpful in the way the president says. host: al, from watertown, tennessee. doctor is an advocate for continued government control. i am a certified professional and health care quality. he may be looking at this from an altar listed -- all view, or federal grants from his employer. any time the federal government gets involved in health care, obamacare,

the law proposed to do so by expanding medicaid, the program for low income americans. these are funded by the federal government and the state. it would seem obvious that enrolling the previously uninsured would improve their health. the passage ofr obamacare, a team of public policy researchers proved that was misguided. oregon.ked at data from the state extended medicare chosen byo 6300 lottery and the researchers were able to compare the outcomes for the randomly selected population with those of a separate group who are not eligible for the program and remained uninsured. oregon had created a randomized control test. patientsd that the new had no improvements in the first compared to the control group. d were noth medicat those who werean uninsured. a follow-up study found that emergency room use increased 40% months in the5 program and the idea was to reduce e.r. use. the authors of the affordable care act, which included expanding medicaid argued that the new beneficiaries would stop because theye.r. would have conventional insurance coverage and the facts indica

opportunities are expanding. paychecks are increasing. wages are growing. benefits are growing. and that means more families are able to afford those car repairs or that down payment on a house. more families are able to set aside money for their kids' education, and more families are able to boost their retirement contributions. more families are looking forward to a secure future. mr. president, i'm proud of the benefits that the tax cuts and jobs act is delivering for american families. and i'm going to keep working for policies that will expand opportunities for families in this country, even further. mr. president, i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quorum. >> this weekend on after words, maryland congressman john delaney, the first democrat to declare a run for the presidency in 2020 offers his vision for america in his book "the right answer, how we can unify our divided nation". he's interviewed by donna brazil, former xhar of the democratic national -- former chair of the democratic national committee. >> you have been a ebb many of congress now since -- you

i know they're -- the c and d facility is being expanded, but it might be time to look at expanding, you know, the recycling facilities, pier 96, for example. any time you go there, there's recyclables up to the door waiting to -- that are dumped and waiting to be sorted. to get through that, you need more workers. to accommodate more workers, you're probably going to need expanded facilities. >> supervisor safai: okay. thank you, mr. bouchard. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: any other members of the public wish to make a comment? i see one person. >> good morning, supervisors. thank you for having this hearing. i wanted to be able to bring up these bins that you guys see throughout city hall and your own personal offices. when we first started discussing this legislation back in 2008, there was no reference to the workers that actually were doing the work, both at that time, recology. at that time my mentor bob morales was sitting at the table. i wanted to be able to show you because for us, it was a lot of work that all of these -- our janitor janitors had to bend under the next

so what we're basically doing is expanding -- with existing funds, expanding the number of slots in our workforce development program, so they can choose a range of options. what we're dryitrying to do is simply have this a make work program. we're trying to structuring the program so it's providing meaningful employment training and leading to jobs, rather than simply working off your food stamp grant which isn't a productive way to approach the expiration of this waiver. in our county assisce program, we received a grant from the state, adding about $2.5 million under the housing and disability advocacy program. this is a pool of funds to provide rental subsidies for homeless people. this state funding will help us increase the uptake or acceptance rate, the approval rate of those applications. the one new f.t.c. that you see in this is the state grant for the manager to this program as well as to serve a linkage role between the hssa and department of homelessness and supportive housing. and lastly, under calworks, our welfare to work program for families is undergoing really large c

as we have expanded our budget and expanded our programs we have needed to expand our staff size in order to get contracts out the door and to get our work done but we have not changed proportionally the number of positions relative to the size of our budget. as you will see on the next slide, this lays that out in a little more detail. we are seeing a change of 9.8 new positions from fiscal year '17-'18. 1.8 are technical adjustments. it's actually 8 new positions we will be adding. an ordinance before you, one is the homelessness and supportive housing fund resolution. this was formally, i believe called the care fund and it's care not cash program we are required to present to you, i believe every other year to get your authorization to continue spending in that fund and that's primarily or exclusively for permanent supportive housing and adjustments to the mayor's fund for homelessness and the navigation center partnership ordinance that will allow us to continue and more efficiently to accept grants and funding from philanthropy and use those to advance our mission. hopefully that wa

they want to expand their businesses and create more jobs. they recorded that 6.1 americans are unemployed yet six-point 6 million jobs are waiting to be filled. this amendment would expand the scope of the federal government. we need to encourage investment in programs and businesses that are preparing individuals for the day not washington bureaucrats. this calls for 25 million a mandatory spending for a pilot program at d. this will only exacerbate with the pilot program with proven results. the 21st century act has come out of the house workforce committee pet i serve on that committee and was proud to see that legislation passed by the house. ask everyone here, colleagues on both sides of the aisle to recognize the importance of this bill and put pressure on the senate to get this bill to the president's desk. this legislation would support local community college and cte programs to help americans enter the workforce with the skills they need to get and retain good paying jobs. on efforts like the bill i've introduced, the text for wors

today we're expanding new efforts to expand fingerprint training at our different police stations throughout the city of san francisco. some three dozen members of the captain's staff from all police stations will have fingerprint training. they'll be joining our officers on the force who already have these skills, and by expanding these services and this training, we're going to expand our fingerprint database, providing new resources to crack down on car break-in offenders, and particularly those who are serial offenders, and we've seen some of them being caught in our papers over the last few weeks. we know these measures, however, together are simply not going to solve the car break-in epidemic here in san francisco, we they are important next steps and important next steps to residents of the city, to visitors of the city to make sure they know and everybody knows that we are moving forward, and we recognize the issue and we are going to continue to do more. this approach is also going to include additional staffing in our police department. earlier this year, i asked chief scott to con

i do believe the expanding in the build envelope was a great idea. i have questions just as commissioner richards does about new construction and adus because it's not clearly defined what parameters are, what can and can't happen. i believe that many discussions about streets trees, bicycles, waiver, property app done, meetings with all the departments are foundation of a strong discussion which i believe has to become more robust. i would think further discussions about unit size are important. 1200 seems high, but 800 in that range seems more reasonable for what we're trying to do. the modifications to rear

one of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to expand medicaid and expand treatment options for substance abuse through the a.c.a. last october, the republicans made clear what they think of the hundreds of thousands of americans suffering from opiate addiction and alcohol and drug abuse. . they passed a budget that makes $1.3 trillion in cuts in health care, including a 30% cut to medicaid. mr. speaker, republicans can't bemoan the opioid epidemic on one hand and vote time and time again to cut the health care systems required to treat addiction. nor can you set up a biased-tiered system that grants treatment for opioid addiction at the expense of providing treatment for addiction and abuse of other substances like key provisions in h.r. 5797. not only is that inhumane and immoral, but it's also ineffective. it undermines the entire health care system of treating substance abuse. mr. speaker, many democrats have joined the majority in supporting one of these bills, h.r. 6, the support for patients communities act. it's a good bill. it would help medicare and medicaid better

how was it performing and how the delta plan to expand leverage of this joint venture to expand in asia? ed: korean air is one of the largest airlines around the globe. , only recently have we created this joint venture which allows us to shed this traffic on and enhanced basis. in japan, the japanese have put a lot of pressure. fly to alwasys going to dca if you are coming into d.c. as a result, we're opening up a hub in south korea. they just opened another terminal two, whichwo, has 45 gates. it is the nicest terminal in all of asia. the only airlines that will operate out of that terminal are caribbean, delta, air france airlines. immediately, it gives delta the opportunity to have 80 destinations beyond seoul at our disposal. seoulbring customers to to 80 destinations, including 30 in china, with one of the most efficient hubs in the world, from a delta customer standpoint, we unlock tremendous value and access to the world. one-stop out of minneapolis we just announced -- one stop out of minneapolis we just announced two homes anywhere you want to go in asia. that is the power of

in april, i issued an executive directive to expand our economically -- our economic resiliency plan so that our first in the nation policy will now have detailed and specific to plan and then respond w accordingly when signs of the next economic downturn arise. there is a reason that mooney's have upgraded our bond rating to the highest in approximate our city's history, and to the highest level possible. it's the result of responsible fiscal planning, an approach we mirror when dealing with long-term investments and our capital projects. tive for the second consecu se and year in our city's history, our capital plan will be fully funded. we are providingistoric levels of investments in our parks, on our streets, and our seismic infrastructure. the capital budget will strengthen our seawall and repair, rebuild, and work on our critical infrastructure assets, such as the yslais creek bridge and our 911 call center. we are providing more than $100 million for street resurfacing projects, ensuring our roadways are smoother, r,fend velra onau i don't believe anyone thinks the conditions

medicaid these are the you know the dozen or so states that did not expand medicaid and you see they barely dented obamacare did not convince anybody to go on to the exchanges and pay for these huge expenses so in fact unless you got the free care most people didn't go on it the the few american chumps like ourselves who are part of the scam ville we pay thousands of dollars a month and don't get much in return right well i mean to get back to the quote there so they make the connection to welfare so there is the government has a welfare and medicaid that they cover but it medicaid is in america in case you don't know medicaid is basically an insurance policy paid health insurance policy provided by the taxpayer the u.s. government pays your medical care on their behalf however there are they do set prices for m.r.i. zur or various procedures that you might get medicare is for the elderly right so medicaid is. provided by the government to taxpayers to folks that can afford health care and i pay taxes and the tax revenue that i pay helps of fund the government's many kade cost but be

the second thing that we need to do is to expand the earned income tax credit. sheridan brown and i have a bill, many think it is too large but we said is that having the 1.4 trillion tax plan that goes to upper income earners, why not give expand income tax credit every american making under 35,000 would've gotten a $10,000 pay raise if we had done that. you may disagree with that big a proposal able on this committee should be for some expansion of the earned income tax credit, ranking member neal, h.r. 822 calls for improvement of the earned income tax credit but this is an issue that i really hope insincerity that my republican colleagues will be willing to support. it was your party i came up with this idea. it was your party that push this idea. we should all for expanding work support for folks who are struggling, and that's what the earned income tax credit does. the final point, if you look at bain consulting company have report and report, bain consulting the place where mitt romney worked, and they say that 20-25% of jobs are going to be displaced bec

as a result of that, we'lle able to grow and expand that european flying. the issue that you're referring to is fifth freedom flying, and that was having stopovers in milan, going to jfk or athens going to newark. those were the routes that we were particularly sensitive around, because that was taking traffic that genuinely was from two third countries that was not sourced or coming out of the middle east. 100% of that traffic was being stolen, in our view, off of the traditional carriers. we have no objection to the amount of flying those carriers do between our country and doha or dubai or abu dhabi. what we object to most vehemently is when they take traffic that belongs to other countries and start to use their subsidies to steal that, steal that flow. >> all right. can you give us some examples of some new flights or things you might -- >> you want me to make some news? >> yes, please! let's do it! >> sorry. >> ah! maybe later in the conversation. >> keeping it going. >> all right. so, you mentioned india. what do you thin your growth potential is? wh

that is an area we're exploring how to expand what we provide. there is a growing body of literature in the field that dispatchers do have effects of ptsd and so we've been talking with particularly our colleagues and the police department about how they support their workforce and seeing how we can either piggy back or replicate that type of support. >> i do thinkhat th are in the category first responders and i just think it's a very stressful job and they are actually experiencing, if not physically right there, they are actually experiencing some of the same stress that actually are first responders are experiencing. i would love to see that. i just think it leads to a healthier workforce and it's our responsibility to our employees that we actually provide this type of service to them. >> absolutely. thank you for recognizing them as first responders. there's a little bit a debate la debate. i argue strongly they're not clerks, they do have the responsibility and the stress associated with that life and death efforts. >> thank you. and then

so we plan to expand that opportunity to offer an online enrollment to over 12,000 members. including 4,500 -- yeah, retirees thisafl. thank you. we are rebuilding our website to facilitate easier access to the information onur benefits and well-being program. we're scheduled to launch that in january 2019. and wre in the queue o update our outdated telephone and call management program as part of the city-wide voip project that would be helpful for our operations team. last year we had a great deal of success with the rollout of voluntary benefits for all city and county employees. this was building on the high level of interest in 2017. and the enrollment and the voluntary increases were 27%. and we are exploring long-term care and tuition savigs and looking for ways that we can do without adding costs to the employers that we serve. offering these benefits is really important to help the city as mployers to recruit and to retain staff. they're typically offered in much of the private sector. as you are aware, slide three, the health service systems supports the health ser

maybe in what way can we expand on the current policy?ou know, i mean currently right now it's anonymous and a third party may do an investigation. i don't know. maybe that's an opportunity that we look to the department of police accountability to assist us in this. i mean, i'm looking for a certain level of specificity, not just -- >> right. that's understandable. going to your point, we need to work with the department of police accountability to make sure that there's an internal process that even goes beyond the internal affairs division so that officers who do want to talk about certain wrong doings of their fellow officers have that protection within the dpa as well as city bodies like the city attorney's office and having them understand that, hey, we have someone in this institution in city government that is saying something is going on wrong, we need to look into this further. i think that needs to live in the third party body and/or, you know, something like the department of police accountability. >> supervisor cohn: all righ

the role of criminalization we're expanding the role of police officers expanding the role of district attorneys to incarcerate more and more people and i know you said earlier black citizens this is even exasperated when you're undocumented or documented and the expansion of our immigration detention centers i think black immigrants are twice or three times as likely to be deported on a criminal offense or any other you know offense than any other immigrant even though we make up a very small percentage of the immigrant population and so we see racism being compounded we're also in immigration detention centers where you have ice agents that have fool unchecked privilege and power to literally imprison people for years and the sad thing is this is not something that's new to this this country. something that's been like you said decades and years in the making building up to this and i think a lot of this falls upon the fact that people are getting educated on the mainstream media doesn't necessarily talk about it or get as in-depth as like you know people out there are you know fight

because at the moment we're seeing an expanding workforce, sorry an expanding company, as you say, expandinghe workforce is diminishing. isn't this a failure of shareholder capitalism, which basically sacrifices jobs on the altar of higher shareholder dividends? it's very important that the company adheres to the agreements that it has with the trade unions. and i will, of course, make sure that it that does that. in terms of his overall statement, what he said about efficiency and companies, i think he should just reflect that his desire to overthrow capitalism will make it very hard for anyone to find work in any private company at any time. people talk in general terms about too many chiefs and not enough indians. does the secretary of state share my concerns that it seems counter—intuitive that rolls—royce say they're going to employ more engineers are going to continue and increase investment in r&d and they're going to expand massively while they're doing this restructure and downsizing the management? that just doesn't sound quite right to me. this is not, i have to say to him, uncomm
