i live at 1359 natoma and i am opposed to the current construction plan. i strongly disagree with the discretionary unit -- which is out of touch with the community and out of date. my first objection is about the design of the building. and the current high and mass of the building. one reason i chose to live here is the combination and affordability, and the charm of the street. you see street with buildings with an accordion design, 1340 is one building. if you look at the property at the present state, you can see this as a building with an eduardian build. the current plans for the new property for modern buildings retain some of the character of the original building, and with its removal around the buildings -- a stohr survey that was given stresses the importance of individual buildings contributing to the overall significance of the neighborhood. an individual house cannot have much significance on its own but in the context of a neighboring properties -- this is important to preserve the historical significance of this potential district. when we

for years and years natoma did everything right. bought health insurance, she paid her premiums on time, but 18 years ago natoma was diagnosed with cancer. and even though she'd been cancer-free for more than a decade, her insurance company kept jacking up her rates year after year. and despite her desire to keep her coverage, despite her fears that she would get sick again, she had to surrender her health insurance and was forced to hang her fortunes on chance.%i

natoma canfield joins us to talk about this. it's great to have you.first heard of you when the president invited your sister to an event two years ago. you were too ill to make at that time. update us on your condition now. how are you doing? >> i'm doing fine, thank you. the cancer is gone. and i'm just recovering now. it's going to take a long time, but i'm doing well, thanks. >> natoma, you are certainly a fighter. it has to be certainly a validation and inspiration to hear that your letter you wrote to the president appears framed on his wall. i want to read part of it to everybody here pup say, in letter, that i need your health reform bill to help me. and how much credit do you give the president's law for your improved held, for the improved life situation that you've seen? >> oh, i give him a lot of credit. >> natoma, specifically, explain to all of us, how did it change for you? the outlook, at least, for hope, to recover from what you were facing. >> well, it was very uplifting, an experience, to receive both of his letters. and to know that
