group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have similar due dates. our doctors here are family doctors. they are able to help these women deliver their babies at the hospital, at general hospital. we also have the wic program, which is a program that provides food vouchers for our families after they have their children, up to age 5 they are able to receive food vouchers to get milk and cereal for their children. >> it's for the city, not only our clinic, but the city. we have all our children in san francisco should have insurance now because if they are low income enough, they get medical. if they actually have a little more assets, a little more income, they can get happy family. we do have family who come outside of our neighborhood to come on our clinic. one thing i learn from our clients, no matter how old they are, no matter how little english they know, they know how to get to chinatown, meaning they know how to get to our clinic. 85 percent of our staff is bilingual because we are serving many monolingual c

day one of birth due to lack of prenatal care. anything that discourages women from being honest with their doctor from going to see their doctor is problematic i agree back to square one. >> cow see this kind of law as constitutional or not? >> the constitutionality is another show. but i would say, whether where it's problem at sick the execution. interpretation of it. >> on its face is up constitutional. >> that is challenge of niello haw you interpret. >> you could have written the law, these people didn't know, it's too broad. >> i'll get to you i promise. what would be constitutional? >> you have to be very particular about -- particularly if what you -- but if you want criminal penalty you have to be so particular in order to pass a constitutionality in that order take you right away away from criminal sanctions to civil sanctions or to what i think is most appropriate. if ever the words carrot and stick had any meaning they have a meaning in this situation. >> i was going to say going back to something you said what makes

the first is we should provide as a society for prenatal care for all women who cannot afford prenatalcare. [applause] i'm saying this as a practical matter because the research is again overwhelming and documented in my book. that women who do not get prenatal care have children with their little legs and cognitive deficiencies. these children will then join special education and we'll pay as a society hundreds of thousands of dollars when we might have helped those women to have healthy babies with a very small investment at the beginning. and there was a survey done last year by the march of dimes in united nations, we are 32nd, 12 are would've another, think about this. they found we were i think once had 30 in the world ranking alongside somalia in the provision of prenatal care for women. that's a disgrace. let's talk about that instead of kids test scores. we should have early childhood education for all children. [applause] again, the research on this is indisputable. and yet "the economist" magazine last year ranked the european nations, the north american nation and we came i

thank you very much. [ applause ] >> our next awardee is the homeless prenatal program. the homeless prenatal program is honored to present this award on behalf of 500 low income families who have a chance to dream about a better future for their children and determination to make that dream a reality. we accept this award on behalf of it's staff. many of whom are clients through tireless work. we have come a long way from the march on washington and we have a long way left to go. since 1963, a structural injustice remains. the poverty unjustly reflects the poverty and instability of our color. htp is committed to challenging these disparities by providing critical health and social services not only to seek as safety net but also empower families, with affordable housing and education and job training and especially housing cost, we believe that the city's long-term success is to be able to create opportunities for families and create a diverse and equitable community here. thank you for tonight's honorees to be able to provide this for the people of san francisco.

so we do a lot of prenatal care or delivering over 140 babies every month.of course, a lot of work with our seniors as well. but we also look at the body as a complete work in progress, so we cover dental optometry and health care as well. >> do you find that health care is at the top of the list in terms of priorities for latino families? >> absolutely. that and education. if you don't have your health, then everything else is compromised. and we're at a very exciting point with the affordle care act rolling out as of yesterday. >> that's right. let's talk about that, the affordable health care act, how does it affect your organization? how does it help? >> well, we are very excited. in fact, the latino community is the community that is most likely to benefit from the affordable care act. there's 6 million uninsured californians and 60% of them are latinos. that means one in every third person are latinos, and we estimate that 1.7 million latinos will be eligible for medical and another 1.2 million will be eligible for subsidies under california. what that

science, would seek to protect vulnerable populations like we talked about way back when, right, prenatally and in pregnancy, those ones that are maybe more vulnerable to chemical exposures and also to reduce exposures in communities with unfair burden of exposures, we know that very often, poor communities, communities of color, communities with less resources are exposed to higher levels of chemicals so we have to reduce that unfair burden because they already have enough unfair burden, so that calls for some comprehensive changes and we want to see those happen. the senate is not likely to reconvene and vote on this bill because we are winding down of course with this legislative session and this particular administration in terms of senates turning over, they're all -- most of them are up for re-election, house is turning over -- about half of them are up for re-election and of course presidential election as well, and so it is very likely of course that this will be reintroduced after all of those changes take effect and hopefully we'll have garnered some support and move forward, so w

times when the body's own hormones are orchestrating some complex and amazing things, during the prenatal period where with regard to the breast, you know, the basic structures are being laid down and that is guided by the body's own hormones or during puberty when breasts start to develop, we know that teenagers are like hormonally out of control, the hormones are doing some things there, pregnancy and lactation, and our body's own hormones work at these amazingly small amounts to make these big dramatic changes happen at these important periods of time, so it's not surprising perhaps that external chemicals na look to our body like hormones would have a somewhat notable effects at these same periods of development so that's an important concept that we're starting to see and chemicals that are endocrine disrupting compounds or hormone disrupters as you might hear them called are a big focus of the work we've been doing and of the data that's been emerging in the scientific literature in the last ten years so this is exciting stuff and we'll talk about specifics about that in a minute, a

that is i actually think it's in my best interests as an american to make sure that people get good prenatal care, whether they're related to me or not. now we have this how much of community do we believe in. that's what this is really about. >> you believe in coercive community. >> no, i don't. >> you're saying i'm not going to give you a choice, i want to take your money. >> taxing is coercive, right? but we all do it. we may disagree on what we spend it on, about you we all do it. >>> you all please stay with us. next we cease fire. is there anything these two can agree on? we also want you to weigh in on today's fire tweet yes or no uses #"crossfire." we'll have the results after the break. i got this.

it is not have mature -- prenatal care or maternity care on there, it is not have drug rehab cancelingor drug abuse. that is what my policy is, yet i just went through cancer, paid all my ills, but i do not have drug counseling or prenatal care. that is what made my policy inferior. i am sorry, this president is doing more damage to this country. i hope you people that don't see this, that is what you call blind loyalists. i just want to thank you for what you are doing. l fromk, we go to steven richmond, virginia on our line for democrats. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span third i blame this on republicans, the tea party, and john boehner because they have been fighting this from day one. they appealed it over 40 times. by them not being part of the solution, they want to be part of the problem. so they are going to make it a headache for the people. but they do not realize the reason why there policy is theeled because this is affordable act law, the companies have to meet the standards to be approved. they have to offer them a better package. you know. that is

your prenatal counseling. for someone just starting a business, you want insurance in case you're hit by a truck. host: valerie in alabama, independent caller. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. i want to thank you for your voice. for the people that get up every day and focus on solutions. i listen to the elite in washington and even in business when we mix business and government inappropriate, we get to this point. i would like to see american agenda and getting the essence of the proper role of government. we are seeing more and more people confused about what a true benevolent community is. when we protect the individuals and putting the crooks in jail. we have a government that is forceful and course of and it is terrifying. guest: there is nothing i disagree in with what you said. whenever the american people or a republican says government has gotten out of control, liberals always leap to the very few programs, the 20% of government that of course we support. it is called the firemen

all drugs are regulated -- psycho tropic prenatal, even cold medicine.ng considered health care to be one of valley state's biggest problems. despite being fully operational in 2007, the facilities were understaffed and overburdened. there were less than ten physicians to care for more than 3,500 inmates. >> the medical care here sucks. >> medical -- >> medical sucks. >> medical sucks. >> we need better medical! >> i've been here eight years, never had a physical. they said because i'm young and healthy i don't need a physical. >> because of standards set by the community, there's been a significant increase in funding for the health care services for women. and we have been able to add to our staff in terms of physicians, nursing, mental health staff. is it still perfect no. do we have enough staff, no. do we have vacancy issues and problems we're working with yes. we are significantly better off in terms of our ability to deliver quality standard of care today than a year ago or five years ago. >> most of the difficulties stem from the inherent differe

people are pregnant are not getting prenatal care until very late. there was a woman that gave birth on the floor of a hotel. >> things like this have happened before the bill goes through parliament. under the plans some migrants would have to pay upfront into the health as much as, more dramatically, the same legislation would deport people committed of a crime before they have the right to appeal so they can't put down roots and then claim they have the right to stay. the current government has promised from the start that it would cut migration levels to the tens of thousands and clearly you can't do that would trying things that have never been attempted before. of course many people say that it is not very liberal, that migrants are a boone rather than a burden, the government says it is not fair on taxpayers to keep supporting people that don't have the right to be here. >> widespread public mood. >> most people who are out there that are hard working and paying into the system, they will say it is not fair that people can carry on living here

talking about here are bans that still exist reliability and prior to the time when a degree of prenatal testing can indicate fetal anomalies or other problems in premises that means the pregnancy is not compatible with life. the reasons we allow later term abortions to take place is because things happen in pregnancy. those events can be tragic for the pregnant person. we have decided the best option is to let that be a decision that happens between the pregnant person and their doctor . the supreme court has made this very clear, not only in roe v wade, but in the president that follows, that up to the point of fetal viability, there is this zone where the patient and the doctor should have the ability to make the decisions on their own. a 20 week band is still a pre- viability ban. to characterize a pre-viability ban as extreme is to mistake the nature of the law and the true intentions behind those bands. >> axis governor rick perry claimed his wife misspoke when she referred to abortion as a woman's right. this was at a public event last month. he said his wife used a wrong word in

that's because requirements in the law, like prenatal and prescription drug coverage, means their oldlans aren't comprehensive enough. in california, kaiser permanente terminated policies for 160,000 people. in florida, at least 300,000 people are losing coverage. >> when i get this bill, i was outraged. >> reporter: that includes 56- year-old diane baret. last month, she received a letter from blue cross, blue shield, informing her, as of january 2014, she would lose her current plan. baret paid $54 a month. the new plan she's being offered would run $591 a month. >> why do i have to be forced into something else? >> now, health secretary kathleen sebelius is expected to testify on capitol hill this week, about the problems plaguing the online healthcare site. >>> a dry fall evening. beautiful look outside. any chance that things will warm up later this week? for all the trick or treaters? wjz is live with first warning weather coverage. meteorologist chelsea ingram is live with the mobile weather lab. but first, bob is updating today's conditions. >> we have really nice weather head

this is an important program for prenatal and postnatal care? >> it is.hted to serve on the advisory council for secretary clinton's new initiative too small to fail. a couple of the research studies we've seen as we gather momentum around not failing 0 to 5-year-old kids is the importance on nutrition to brain and importance of parental involvement and other measures to get these kids to have a greater vocabulary. we're aiming at 3 million words and literacy skills. unfortunately kids that don't have vocabulary and numberacy. if you don't have them, you won't make it to college. >> emergency funds, a surplus, budget surplus because of tax revenue, unable to spend it because we need federal appropriation, for the having self-governance. >> exactly. >> part of it is charter schools are going to have to close, charter schools creating a lot of educational choice and diversity in the district will have to close. they will be out of money very soon? >> a lot of the conversation or media focus, that's why i'm grateful you're shining the light on education, not

person, jim angle piece, who compared prices and a bronze plan and he's 58 years old and he's getting prenatalage. now, it's mandated by the obama care mandates. but that's an indication of something that maybe somebody doesn't want. >> it's precisely why historically essentially planned economies don't work. the soviets had a plan for this much steel and this much concrete and it had no response to what was out there in the market. and they overproduced. so they had a lot of production numbers and they had an economy that was unworkable. here these people are deciding if you're a single male in your 60s, you don't need the maternal care, you don't -- you've never smoked dope, you don't need the substance abuse stuff. you want a catastrophic plan which is very rational, but jay carney is saying, you know, you're too stupid to understand what you want. once you eliminate the market response, which is a lot of people decide i know what i want better than the bureaucrat. and they're eliminating this. that's the essence of what's happening. that's why it's not going to work. >> quickly, does this

lot of those women don't have the means to get to where she could have the abortion or the early prenatal might need or health care to be able to make this decision. we talked about this, elyse and the naral folks, the backlash officer gosnell. we need to protect the woman's right. poor women are the ones left victim to a kermit gosnell when they can't get an abortion. there are myriad of reasons as we know why a woman has abortions at various stages in their pregnancy to deny access, health care, just outright, it's discrimination. it harms low income women, women of color. jerry brown, god love him, it was a great decision. >> but not in step with the tide across the country, which is to restrict choice. i want to talk about the incremental strategy which is to make these laws that make it harder and harder for women to get abortions. shame them or humiliate them, making them take transvaginal ultrasounds and show them the fetal heartbeat. but make this decision as physically and emotionally difficult as possible. the supreme court is taking up klein versus the oklahoma coalition for re

insurance, their bare bones insurance, older people, for instance, who don't want maternity and prenatal care, who don't want many of these benefits, they won't have that option of going with a plan that no longer meets the test. >> well, first of all, most people don't have that option now. 95% of the people in this country who get their insurance through their employer get coverage if they're a male, for maternity coverage, and if they're a female, they get coverage for viagra. let's be fair here. comprehensive coverage means that we all pay for things that we don't use. we pay for insurance we might not use. the whole point is you never know when you need it. and you cover it for some things you'll never get. if you never get cancer, you still cover for cancer because someone else may get it. that's the purpose of insurance. so i think it's unfair to suggest that there's insurance in this country in which -- real insurance that's comprehensikpc in which you can pick and choose what you need in the future. to be fair, i think we need comprehensive insurance for everyone in this country

. >> we provide prenatal care for them, and they are seen just like they would be if they were in theommunity by health providers. and they deliver their children at an outside hospital. after they give birth, then a social worker is coordinated with them to determine who will take the child. >> kelly collins is seven months pregnant. she's serving anywhere from 11 to 15 months for breaking and entering and violating her parole. >> when i have my baby, i'm giving it up for adoption. i'm just 21, and i got two other kids, and they got tooken away over me coming to jail, and i know that i've got a drug problem. so, therefore, i don't want to bring a new kid home knowing that i've got problems when i can send it to someone that can give them a much better life. it's hard, but i think to myself all the time about what's really best. and i can't be selfish, i got to do the best for my kid. >> several days later, we checked in with laura prince to see how she's adjusting to life in prison. >> at first i was having night sweats, cold sweats. i'm feeling a lot better. there's not much to adju

i don't need prenatal care.e are lots of things that i don't need that i am being forced to pay for. >> that's really a good point, actually. so, what are you going to do? you plan to go without health insurance now? >> i think that's a very likely possibility because -- >> you'd just pay the penalty then? >> yeah. which really upsets me because i've never in my life been without medical insurance. and that -- and that's another point. you know, it is not a plus. we're all trying to get -- i'm all for having everybody have health insurance, believe me, but what does it benefit our society if you provide it or make it available to one person and take it away from another who's had it all their life? >> yeah, you know, i mean -- let's face it. diane, you're caught in the middle there. it's unfortunate. there are a lot of people who have employer-sponsored programs that they will be able to keep what they have at the rates they have, but you're in a special situation where you're having to get a new plan because as

why are we forcing men to take on prenatal and pregnancy coverage?'t need it and they don't want to pay this extra. >> lots of people don't think they need anything. the trouble is, and i believe in community rating which is what we did here 20 years ago. what that means is we're all in this together. i think that's what the affordable care act does. you had aetna, for example, that in three periods cut 350,000 people off their health insurance because they were sick. yeah. you could say i agree, these were all legal. now they're not legal anymore. what the president has done with the affordable care act is tighten up insurance standards so those kinds of things don't happen to people anymore. it is true. there are a few people that will pay more. most will not, though. people whose bills go from $200 to $600, either they can afford them or they're going to get tax subsidies and they're not going to have to pay that much. >> what about joe's contention we're oversimplifying this thing about insurance companies dropping people and policies because the

i take vitamins that are equal to, if not better than prenatals, so i was set up for that. the most important thing is the folic acid so that was in place. caffeine i had already cut out of my system a couple years ago so that was easy. but alcohol, definitely, you know, came to a halt, because we are social drinkers and we do love wine tasting and things of that nature. so... it'll come back. overindulgence is not going to work, whether we eat too much red meat, even though it's good for iron, if we eat too much of anything, it's not going to be good for us. so again, use logic in deciding how you handle your pregnancy. i needn't tell you, i needn't tell anybody that alcohol's not going to be good in pregnancy. i needn't tell anyone that using illicit drugs is not going to be healthy for your pregnancy. because ultimately that baby, if the mom uses regularly enough and in high enough quantity, the baby will become dependent on the drug in the same way that an adult would. in the wall of the lining of the uterus, there's a hormone that plays a very important role in the dev

i think it's in my best interests as an american to make sure people get good prenatal care whether they'reo now we have this sort of how much community do we believe in and that's what this is really about. >> but you believe in coercing community. >> no. i don't. >> you're saying i'm not going to give you a choice about helping the community. i'm going to take your money. >> taxing is coercive, right? but we all do it. we may disagree on what we spend it on but we all do it. >> thanks to howard dean and chris chacola. now we want you at home to weigh in on today's fire back question. is it okay for the white house to host insurance executives behind closed doors? tweet yes or no using #crossfire. we'll have the results after the break. at a ford dealer with a little q and a for fiona. tell me fiona, who's having a big tire event? your ford dealer. who has 11 major brands to choose from? your ford dealer. who's offering a rebate? your ford dealer. who has the low price tire guarantee, affording peace of mind to anyone who might be in the market for a new set of tires? your ford dealer. i'm

. >> if you're 75 years old you probably don't need a plan that offers prenatal care. i'm just guessing. >> the bottom line is, jake, this website clearly doesn't work. the president admits it doesn't work. yet people, american families right now are being told under the law that if they don't go on to this website that doesn't work and buy a product they can't afford and give their personal information to the irs who can't be trusted with it, they will be fined by the federal government. if the website's not working, one thing i think is a basic request that a lot of american families have is if i can't go onlig online and buy this product the law says i have to buy, shouldn't the president waive the fine for the individual mandate like he waived it for business? >> it's a fair question. i asked the white house that yesterday. their response was that there are still other ways to get obama care. there's the phone number, there are -- you can fax it in. there are other ways -- >> but the 800 number, if you can get through, it's busy now because the website doesn't work

yet we hope she'll be able to get it under the cia and when she confided that information with her prenatal care provider instead of congratulating her and encouraging her and her progress she was reported to state authorities she eventually was taken into custody by five police officers she was put in handcuffs and eventually leg shackles she was taken to a court room where a lawyer had already been appointed for her twelve week fetus and she had to stand there before a judge without a right to counsel as it was determined that she should be locked up for ninety days in a treatment program taking a bed away from somebody who might actually need treatment. so she was within the range of of even you know undisputedly legal abortion and her fetus was appointed a lawyer and she was not certain. correct correct and at the point at which the state appoints a lawyer for fertilized egg embryo or fetus any woman who might decide or need to have an abortion would as she apparently was told according to one of the affidavits on file with the court that she would now have to obtain a lawyer before she

that's because requirements in the law, like prenatal and prescription drug coverage, mean their old. in california, kaiser permanente terminated policies for 160,000 people. in florida, at least 300,000 people are losing coverage. >> when i got this bill, i was outraged. >> reporter: that includes 56-year-old diane burret. last month she received a letter from blue cross/blue shield informing her as of january 2014 she would lose her current plan. she paid $54 a month. the new plan she's being offered would run $591 a month, ten times more than what she currently pays. >> what i have right now is what i'm happy with, and i just want to know why i can't keep what i have. why do i have to be forced into something else? >> reporter: now, it's important to point out according to healthcare.gov, diane is eligible for some subsidies, but she told us, and this is not a surprise, that she has no idea what they'd be because lo and behold she can't logon to that website, an issue that hhs secretary kathleen sebelius is sure to be asked about when she testifies on capitol hill wednesday. >> ja

. >> i do think it's the availability of prenatal care that is probably the bottom line. >> the alabama department of public health says women without health insurance had nearly 23 infant deaths per 1,000 births, more than twice that of mothers and infants who are custody. dr. toms believes obamacare will mean healthier mothers and children. it would be an improvement over medicaid, the government program that many poor people depend on. >> it can be a game changer for a relatively large amount of patients who do not have insurance or feel they cannot afford insurance. >> in some of birmingham, alabama's poorest areas, like this housing project, poor heal, addiction and violence have been problems for decades. the same problems face other poor areas. this woman lives here, but lost a baby when living in a shelter. >> a lot of people need counseling and can't get it unless they have insurance. >> dr. tom's think insurance is key. >> i would say word of mouth, advertisement on television, ads in the newspaper, community housing, community workers, any available avenues. >> as two-week-ol
