but after that, the coverage expansion has a minor role. as john mentioned, economic growth would sort of be the major role in that after the coverage expansion -- beyond 2016. >> the report estimate that 9 million americans gain health insurance in 2015 -- 2014. that figure is somewhat lower than other estimates. is that perception right and is there any explanation? >>> so we can't speak to lower or not, but we do have -- on our web tables we have a projection of the uninsured, we have a projection of employee-sponsored insurance enrollment, we have individual health insurance enrollment, individual private health insurance enrollment and we have medicare and medicaid. if you look at that table, that's pretty similar to what we had in past years. so it's not that different. and when talking about comparisons and most people use cbo. that's not something that we have done an analysis of, so we can't give you any specific answers. >>> 9 million just to gain medicare. those are not insured. >> right >> for medicaid, there could be some peopl

we expect some expansion over time.ave been reluctañt to enter the market given the difficulty of knowing how to price it in the first year. united healthcare has filed to be willing and able to provide coverage in 2015. as an overview, that's alabama. >> in contrast to alabama, florida has been opposed aggressively to the affordable care act. the current governor spent $5 million of his own money to oppose the passage of the affordable care act.ia9x you are all aware, i think, that the florida attorney general was the first person to file suit against the constitutionality of the act. the governor and the legislative have made it difficult to implement the act after passage. there's a continuation of opposition in the face of i think 983,000 people who have enrolled through the exchange. i expect this kind of opposition to continue because it's been largely philosophical and political. two or three things that were striking to me in the opposition of the affordable care act. one was the willingness of the governing par

just through medicaid expansion. that $15 billion would be offset by increased tax receipts from the growth in the population and, of course, could also be offset with a modest hospital tax which almost 75% of the states have because that's a nice way for them to use federal money to match federal money. so there is some possibilities though. there is a lot of talk about a texas solution. but there is not much concreteness about that. last weekend senator vanderpute, the democratic candidate for governor called for a solution. it will be interesting to see how that develops in the months to come. >> thank you for the opportunity to discuss the kentucky program. why has it been so successful? we are asked this with some frequency, as you might imagine. i think there are four important factors. the quality of leadership. the system design. the system implementation, and just a basic demographics. we have a lot of low income uninsured or had a lot of low income uninsured people in kentucky. so first, leadership. as you

after that, the expansion has has had a minor role. and economic growth would be the major role. >> robert, "new york times." the report and the slides. estimate that million americans gain health insurance in 2014. is that perception right? >> okay. so we can't speak to lower or not. but we do have a projection of the uninsured. we have a projection of employer sponsored insurance enrollment, we have individual health insurance enrollment, individual health insurance enrollment. and we have medicare and medicaid. and, you know, if you look at that table, that's pretty similar to what we had in past years. so it's not that different. and, you know, when you're talking about comparisons and most people cbo, that's not something that we've done an analysis of. so we can't give you any sort of specific answers. >> just medicaid. those aren't uninsured, necessarily. but the growth is. >> right. so for medicaid, what's interesting about this. it's a difficult problem. for example, there could be some people that had individual, individual -

that is very uncharacteristic of expansions, because generally, when you have an economic expansion,'re putting more pressure on productive capacity more pressure on the labor force and prices tend to go up and interest rates tend to go up. and that tends among other things to bring the expansion to an end. didn't happen in the 1990s. why didn't it happen in the 1990s? why didn't this happen? what were the factors that kept inflation down despite all the economic indicators to the contrary? a major factor was the revolution in information technology. thdigitization of all inftion crted new companies d new industries. in silicon valley alone, 11 new companies were createdvery week. new economy d comeo ing, and its product was intellectual property. a growing debate started among economists over whether the new economy had changed the rules. ladies and gentlen it's my honor and deep privilege to introduce to you thchairman of the federal reserve board, dr. alan greenspan. schoumacher:to chaman alan greensp the rules had changed. he doubted whether inflation cod be adequately measured i

expansion, you say, ever. i wonder if it's fair to say, okay, you need a lot of things to go right over the next five years to get to s&p 3000, whereas only a couple of things to go wrong for that whole thesis to fall apart? >> look, you always, always sound smarter when you're a bear. than when you're a bull. no doubt about that. the world is a risky place. so we spend a lot of time going through what the risks are. whether a slowdown in europe, china, other places. not saying it's a slam dunk. look how uncorrelating the gdp around the world. the deck stack and the coverage on it. where costs are being put in place and we're five years into an expansion. longest on record is about ten years. so just, if we got to that longest one we'd be right around that 2020 number we talk and in the note today. >> adam, josh brown. i thought your note was good, and that rate of return between now and 2020, actually is pretty reasonable by historical norms. even though the number 3000 might catch people's attention if they

at that time, so we have expansion, albeit at a lower rate than we had in july.oser look at what is going on in china, and andy chang is joining us. he is with fitch. thanks for joining us. what john was saying about the property sector there in china. what is your view? >> yes, i think this is a typical challenge. developers really faced this. some have leveraged up in late 2013 or late 2014, but, however, because we know in 2014 there was some market downturn, they have leveraged up, and their sales cannot improve accordingly, so they will suffer from the situation. however, what i like to stress is that none of them will give -- i mean most of them will not give up their targets so soon because they still have a lot of inventory for sale, so i believe they will take advantage for the rest of the year to catch up with the sales target. >> ok, how would you read things at the moment? are we turning a corner? now it isk that right not very clear. particularly with the monetary policy in china. it is still about hiring at the moment, so we do not think there is a

in fact seniors eligible under the expansion are otherwise eligible -- meet all of the other eligibility requirements so not eligible for the pubally subsidized health insurance and you need to be unemployed for that for healthy san francisco and that will be the case and anyone eligible for medicare will have medicare and not healthy san francisco. >> okay. i will assume that will be somewhere in your text as we look at revised text. >> sure, absolutely. >> so we understand more. you're asking for an expansion of the senior and therefore -- i'm not against this but i want to know also along with the costs anticipated. how we protect and it's probably your statement that i just need -- >> absolutely we will make that more clear. >> -- review again. >> we will make that more clear. >> okay. there was a minor thing on the resolution and we can go over that later but i wanted to know because it's a "whereas" on the second page and there are so many "whereas's" and i understand when you want to make the argument of where we're going, so it's about the third whereas that talks about us conduc

among them were the expansion of healthy san francisco to certain populations specifically seniors and people not subject to the mandate scprts insuring that healthy san francisco remains available to them and that's what these suggestions do today. also minimizing gaps in health care coverage for san francisco residents. as you know any applicant to healthy san francisco comes in and the eligibility workers help them find whatever coverage they're eligible for and make the best financial decisions for them about own roling in health care coverage. the recommendations increase the flexibility of the city option to facilitate the option of health insurance coverage and as the health commission remembers this has two components. healthy san francisco is one but for those not eligible for healthy san francisco it's medical reimbursement accounts and reimburse people for the health care related expenditures. the recommendations also continue the healthy san francisco mission of serving populations not available for aca -- eligible eligible for aca and important state and federal dollars ar

between expansion and contraction. the last time it was in contraction was back in may and got targeted stimulus and sentiment picked up and the numbers fell off the cliff and causeded us to pause. new lending all fell last month. when we got this interesting p.m.i., we weren't expecting a pickup, but we did. targeted stimulus seems to be working. >> will today's figure dampen calls for broader stimulus measures? >> it could. i don't think the government is listening too closely to those calls they are steadfast saying they won't overreact to short-term fluctuations. and during the summertime, too. they have $81 billion liquidity injections, but no major stimulus. reports are that the big banks will ease lending and overnight we got the china's bay book report while the economy may be stuck in low gear because of struggling property markets, the report also said that hiring and corporate profit margins this quarter have improved a bit and this could help explain why beijing has a bit of reluctance to introduce more lar

ross would've accepted the medicaid expansion surely as it was. under his leadership, we would never have had a private option, because he would've supported the expansion. it was the republican leadership that came in to look at in an innovative fashion. >> we talk about these issues and successes of past governors. your predecessors, all the way back to clinton, have come into the governor's office through state government. one of these have been involved but are removed. >> i spent 10 years balancing the state budget. >> tummy, from your point of view, how do both of you forge those relationships and work on something as important on the private option? canirst of all, if i respond, i have mentioned numerous times that we will balance the budget first. the most the state ever pays a 10%. afford thatble to because of the growth that will occur because of the jobs it creates. 20,000 people having health care creates more jobs in the health care sector. any economist will value it will more than pay for itself. i am committed to protecting it and
