expansion you talked about with attorney generals mccallum and abbot. hopefully virginia wasn't go that route. it's hard to find the money. we have to balance our budget. we can't print our money to expand programs. >> greta: in terms from medicaid expansion if you had all the money in the world, if you didn't have to borrow it, you would not be opposed to it? >> there is philosophical reasons we ended up frugal in virginia and this program and others. we decided we don't want to expand it larger. now, we don't have the threat hanging over our whole medicaid program i can't imagine that our legislature and governor want to take on couple hundred million dollars of costs in the future. >> greta: if you don't expand your medicaid, somebody that has no insurance, doesn't have medicaid expansion and ends up at the emergency room, somebody has to pick up the tab. so it's not the hospital or doctors? >> that gets programmed into the costs of the system as you sort imply in your question. to reform all that, we have to clean this out. it's one of the reasons w

the medicaid expansion was supposed to be about half the coverage expansion under the health care law, so around the country it's about 17 million people estimated that they'll get coverage through this expansion. if a lot states say no, that will erode one of the goals of the law which was to get insurance for the uninsured. >> ifill: we have seen some states where they have said no, but then they've said well maybe and it sounds like people haven't figured it out yet. has it trickled down to the state legislature? >> state legislatures will have to make the decision in almost every state. this medicaid expansion will have budgetary implications and state legislatures have control over that. i think lit take some time. some of the governors have strong statements in opposition, there are a couple who said we're definitely going forward. there's a much larger group in the middle who said we need to do budget estimates, we need to talk to our legislature, and i think we'll see probably in 2013 we'll see more of these states deciding one way or the other and doing what they need to do.

there has been expansion of the patio at the ground floor, expansion at the lower level, addition of the lower deck in the real level, privacy wings, and we feel that any of those would trigger a design review. there has been no configuration of alternate stairways. i would like to figure out a compromise that would work. i called the owner and ask for a meeting, which he agreed. the owner called back and said he would not appear. we have three meetings. each one was about an hour with his wife. i thought the meetings went rather well. i received two calls from his wife that they were talking to contractors and i needed to wait. i had to file an appeal because time was passing common so i encourage you to set this fax so we can come up with a mutually agreeable compromise. thank you. >> what do you see as the compromise? >> i would like to see the stairs made smaller. i think they are excessively large. i do not think they have to become so minimal they become unsafe. good i would also like to know region -- to note the living area has been expanded. i know they have excavated down a

i have fundamentally different approaches to the expansion of medicaid. going to listen to what he has to say. in the end, we are looking at this issue very differently. the other governor said, there could be different solutions here. the impact of the presidential campaign does not enter this. >> if i could, just briefly. we may have some disagreements on this. jack kony had been on panels together, china and other, a lot of broad agreements. we talked about jobs where we have similarity in our approaches and things. the corporation laws and so forth, we need emulate that in virginia. piquancy with delaware and the breast is doing. this is where we can truly learn from the best things going on in other states and incorporate them into our states. the impact of the president to raise cannot be overlooked. we also have 12 governor's races. we will have some difference of opinion. i have that other job as chairman of the our g-8. -- rga. we talk about things that we are working on in virginia. it is not all about conflict. it is about working and learning

after years of negotiations, i am very excited to have the approvals associated with an expansion of the market. the proposed project will increase the size of the market to 525,000 square feet, which will create new opportunities for businesses who want to stay and to grow in san francisco. the items before you today or resolution of intent to add an ordinance ordering the vacation of streets within the produce market. if you have ever driven through the produce market, you will see that it is very unsafe for pedestrians, drivers, and workers. the proposed project will vacate portions of streets in the market in order to ensure their better structured, improved, and safer access points in and out of the market. in response to community members concerns about the impact this may have on traffic, the project will make a series of improvements to adjacent streets to minimize the impacts of this vacation. i am very supportive of these items and believe this project is essential to the small business community. i would like to bring up john updike to walk as to the details. >> thank you.

but under the expansion she could qualify for coverage. aqula's doctor basim khan says 80% of his patients are like her with no health insurance. >> by and large, these patients are the working poor. they work low-wage jobs, long hours, and they just, for small businesses, and don't happen to get health insurance with it. >> reporter: and dr. khan says that's just the people he knows about in northern virginia. >> there are about 150,000 people that are uninsured. the safety net can only accommodate a limited amount of these people. so the rest of them actually go without even basic primary care and a lot of us-- as doctors, not just me but people-- working in emergency rooms, see the effects of that. >> reporter: for the states that decide to opt into the medicaid expansion, here's how it will work: starting in 2014, the federal government will pick up 100% of the cost. in 2017, the government's share starts to ramp down, so that by 2020 moving forward, washington will pay 90% of the tab with states picking up the other 10%. but a number

we'll see expansion which, again, if the president's re-elected and the 2014 expansion goes through, it may not eliminate some of these things. we may expand eligibility, but people raise the question if we pay doctors less money, there's not enough doctors in the program to treat the people. having the medicaid card itself, is it going to mean as much? >> host: you mentioned that states are trying things out. they are trying out whether cutting money to providers is an effective way to cut costs and still serve people's needs. tightening up eel jilt. how much are states talking to each other and to the federal government? is the secretary of health and human services in regular contact with the administrators of the programs in these states? >> guest: we hear that they are. we are not the media and public are not privy to what conversations are going on. we'd love to hear more, but feds tell the states over, you know, in letters, documents over the last several weeks since the supreme court law is they are open wanting to give states as much flexibility as they can, but states are w

expansion. and in the coming election season, many will complain about the costs of expanding coverage to 30 million. and i'll conclude by observing this, that the cost objection is mere cover for philosophical objections to public provision for people's needs. the increased cost of covering 30 million is, perhaps, a little bit greater than our typical annual national increase if medical spending, and it's a one-shot increase. and it's, thus, much less significant in america's medical spending picture over several years or more than our rising medical costs. so the real cost problem isn't the cost of covering the people who go to sleep at night anxious about what's going to happen if they discover a loved one has a tumor and how's that going to get paid for, the real cost problem is the long-term trajectory of our health care spending. the long-term rise in all our medical costs. our physical equivalent of global warming. a challenge that our politics has hardly begun to take up and that i hope

what happens to the children's expansion and mandatory expansion of foster kids up to 26? there's some debate whether that is included in the supreme court decision or whether it was part of the old program. the last question, i think, is a really, really important one. if we do expand up to 133% of poverty, can we go back down later? so if we run into significant budget challenges in the state, we're at the 90% match rate, we can't come up with the 10% state match, can we go back down? and, um, you know, the statute reads that all individuals up the 133%, so it's very difficult to figure out what might happen there given the way the statute reads. um, so right now states are trying to estimate the impact on the state budget of going up to 133. and i know this may not sound like a lot. when you're in the federal government, it sounds like we're being really generous, but states are cutting medicaid right now because they can't carry the budget implications now. so as they were very carefully considering what it really means to have an additional group of people on medicaid

it connects in the exchanges, it connects in medicaid expansion, it connects in the essential benefits part of the affordable care act. and patrick, what does that mean for the consumer? that is the big question, really, i think. we are still discussing that throughout the country. we know that parity is something that we have worked hard for a long, long time and we assume that as it becomes more prevalent and really fully enacted, that that will be a great benefit to people receiving health care. i mean, for years we had people receiving medicare without parity, where they paid a higher rate for mental health care than they did for their traditional healthcare rates. but as far as how the aca is going to play out in terms of improving mental health care and substance abuse, too, i think we are still trying to figure out where we are at the table. i just came from louisiana yesterday and we had a several-day discussion about how do, especially in the smaller states that are not so well organized, how do we get to the table to work out these details about how under-integrated health ca

we do a lot of expansion. people start small through the credit union and then want to go to the bank. we know we are limited. we cannot afford to give out a big loan. starting from the credit union, we educate them about filing taxes properly and then moving on to the bank, a small one, expansion, and we work with the bank. the bank and credit union are similar. we do allow tax returns, projections. credit unions do not charge an additional loan or processing fee. processing time, on a small loan, -- consumer loans probably a few days. because we require a business plan, sometimes it takes longer. business plans take a while. especially bank statements. we need to see consistent income coming in. so far, a credit union delinquent rate is quite low because we are working with a client. we want to keep that low and as part of our mission. there is no application fee. if you are interested in an application or information, i have brochures, or you can give us a call. >> thank you. next is marked with wells fargo

people but when the medicare expansion have been a strong motivation to try to get in medicaid expansion and people that don't might have chaos. >> i completely agree. one of the incentives to move forward will be other revenues coming in to drop and so there is a great need to maintain if you think of again if medicaid can find health care for indigent people, the point that has been made all morning you either do it directly or indirectly this would be the indirect way if they are dropping you have a real good reason to adopt the expansion. >> michael cook, i'm just a dumb health care lawyer during this about 48 years first in the government and then private practice. but first a comment and then a question. the comment is i think this was entirely about health care, the 22,000 people that die every year without insurance. i think it was about that part of the 43 million folks on the individual market and get turned down, the fact that we're the most expensive health care system in the world, we are 25th in life expectancy and 37th in quality equity and i think the court took a look an

in a couple of hours officials will unveil expansion plans for an east bay jail. brings might have gone to tate prison are being to the west contra costa county detention facility in -- in richmond. last october the plan shifted the responsibility of housing lower level offenders to the county jails. the sheriff's department says the expansion is necessary because they are getting two to three times more offenders than initially projected. the expansion is expected to cost two million dollars. >>> two more hearings are scheduled next week as suspended sheriff ross mirkarimi fights to get his job back. mayor lee is asking the ethics commission to reject subpoena requests by mere peer's lawyers who are accuse lee of lying under oath. during his testimony the mayor said he never consulted with supervisors before suspending the sheriff. walker says a supervisor told her she talked with lee, the supervisor denies that. the mayor is outraged by the perjury talk. >> fact is, he did hurt his spouse. he did admit to false imprisonment. and the dissituation of others and th

president humala now openly supports the mine's expansion and one of the country's poorest regions.tly said, "there are dams and roads that have to be built. it is not fair to cajamarca after having given so much to the country." for more on the situation which continues to escalate, we're joined in new york by bill weinberg, a freelance journalist was recently in cajamarca reporting for the progressive magazine. welcome to "democracy now!" you have just gotten back. how has this protests been growing for the last number of weeks there? >> walked, they started a general strike on may 31. this is just the latest in a series of ongoing protests that have been going on for years. every time the company yanacocha propose an expansion, the local people get organized and shut down businesses and blocked roads. it was significantly started to heat up last year when the proposed moving into this area called konga, where there are five alpine lakes which the company proposes to destroy. they're going to turn them into giant mining pits and dumped mining waste. water sources in the region hav

. >> tom: and "made in america" tonight, a craft beer company brewing up a national expansion. >> susie: that and more tonight on "n.b.r."! >> susie: the global economy was the hot topic in markets around the world today. central banks in europe, the u.k., and china announced moves to boost growth. the european central bank lowered interest rates to an all-time low. china cut several key interest rates for the second time in a month. and the bank of england held its rates steady, but said it will pump billions of dollars into its economy through a new round of bond buying. here in the u.s., some hopeful signs for the weak job market. private employers added 176,000 new workers to their payrolls in june, stronger than the previous month. and the labor department said the number of people filing for unemployment benefits dropped by 14,000 in the past week. both reports bode well for tomorrow's monthly employment report. and many economists raised their estimates on the number of people getting new jobs in june. despite these positive developments, stock markets were mixed. european market

the medicaid expansion is optional for the states.he health law is estimated to get insurance to about 32 million people, and expand to 32 million people. half of that expansion is supposed to come through medicaid. the medicaid portion of that, states were going to be required to expand their medicaid to everybody under the -- with incomes up to 133% of poverty. that is about an income of about of18,000 for a single person, $31,000 for a family of four. states will no longer be required to do this. florida has come out the strongest. states and governors have said, i do not think this is a good thing and i probably will not be doing this. we're talking about florida, wisconsin, idaho. his letters in those states have made comments to that affect. where's the money going to come from? democrats are saying this is insane, a half to take this. -- you have to take this. it will fund slightly less and eventually find 90% of the cost of the expansion population. states are saying it is too much. our budgets are strained and we cannot do wi

it is an expansion. as you know, in the department budget, there is an increase in general fund costs of the next two years. in fact, over the two year period, there is an 80% general fund increase. supervisor wiener: from what to what? >> $6 million this year to $9 million. supervisor wiener: when you're talking about a small part of the department to budget -- >> wright. it is $6 million to $9 million. supervisor wiener: i'm just talking about the city attorney resources because the department provides critical resources, and so that is a zero sum game. >> that is why we did not put it on the ship and made it a policy decision, because it is an expansion of what they do, the way they presented it in that regard. we are presenting it as "this is the way it is," and we're not offering it as part about. supervisor wiener: right, and i'm not being critical at all. i'm just trying to make sure. >> the budget analyst's office i have no dispute with. she described it exactly right. in theory. that would be a

the court switched the expansion of medicaid from being mandatory in all states to being optional ins, in the media, with a very big job to do. it is a job we hate to do, because it involves actual research and reporting, all of which, all of which has to occur outside of washington, d.c. but, it can be done by phone. we now have to ask each of the 50 governors if they will veto or sign a bill expanding medicaid coverage in their states. we also, then, have to check with each of the 50 legislatures on whether they will pass a bill expanding medicaid in their states, in effect, accepting the optional offer of expanded medicaid in the affordable care act. now that you've heard the political media's homework assignment, you can understand why no one is doing it. no one is making those phone calls to all 50 states. and so i am, tonight, inviting the national media and the local media in all 50 states to put this question to governors and legislative leaders around the country, so that we can fill out a map showing exactly how much health care coverage with was lost in the united states s
