i work in icu, so good afternoon, a supervisor and commissioners. i am a registered nurse. my specialty is organ transplant and intensive care. my daughter, 27 years old, was diagnosed. she communicates by moving her eyes back and forth, one movements for yes and two movements for no. this is the way she expressos in the world, and this is our world. they have seen a patient in understanding our situation, but it required several transfers for worsening symptoms, and it has been transferred back to the holidays. -- to the home base. i would hate to think of our lives without such strong support. i know places like this have a unit and are few and far between, and the places without hospital support. good where places like this should be a standard and not an exception. >> i am going to call a few names. [list of names [ >> i have worked out st. louis for 40 years. my specialty is putting in ivies. you would think i would be busier than i am, but i am not as busy. we simply seemed to put a band- aid on people and turn them out again until they rotate back. it is accessed seg

not going to a doctor because she cannot afford the cost, even up in the icu.this is not acceptable in this country. what we hope will come out of this is we will truthfully have a very strong debate on what is really healthcare in this country and what is health insurance and what is the best thing for people in this country, and that would be truth health care. >> elisabeth benjamin? >> one of the interesting things under the law is states can experiment, so states like vermont want to move forward with the single payer system can do so, and we completely read -- respect the state's right to move forward with that. we expect many well. but in the meantime, many millions of americans and consumer health advocates are trying to work with the system we have. most americans get a job-based coverage and are comfortable with that. that is what the court has upheld. we will move forward and make the system better. the most important thing is for low-income americans, 30 million low income americans can get free quality health coverage. we are really excited about th

ink began to dry, they began eliminating services, such as psychiatric, a pediatric care, a pediatric icu, and the closed another area. in 2004, they had a business it planned to seismically retrofits when there was not enough money in their calculation to make profits off of the patience of sonoma county, and they tried to walk away and close all of of hospitals and transfer them to a catholic hospital in the area. there was a community fight which ultimately led to a political fight which kept them in the county. now, they are building a smaller hospital which will put a burden on the facilities while they increased their profits. they do this in every single community where they operate. as a resident of san francisco where my wife and child, and we are about to have a new baby -- we are very fortunate to have access to health care, and we believe everyone should have access to health care, so on behalf of all san franciscans, stand up to this bullet corp. and do the right thing. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. i am going to call a few more names.

as a doc in the office and the hospital and the icu, or talking with attorneys, a one-shot conversation on advanced care planning yields very little. i think if there's a secret to this, it's that as people get more and more ill within this period, where none of us, if you're sitting at the table, you're not this sick, okay. the people we're talking about couldn't be here. they can't even make it to their doctor's office or church. i mean, they're very ill. once you get that sick and move through your illness, if you have a trained team there helping you understand what the illness is about and helping you understand what your real options are, one of which is 911 when you lose your breath at 4:00 in the morning, there's others, as well -- the interesting thing about the word cloud is that the people who are the most ill have the capacity to live just like the words in the cloud, but we teach them to come back to the hospital. we don't teach them to manage themselves, to see what their options are, and we don't put help for them in their homes. and i think that's why i think what you're
