of a case accusing sutter of charging bay area patients more for hospital stays. kpix5's phil matier is at cal pacific in san francisco, one of sutter's hospitals. phil? >> reporter: a lot of the debate in the court case deals with information and how sutter handled it. were they completely honest with their clients as to the costs? did they allow their clients to exchange that information so that you and i could seek out the best deal? well, that's the reason for the court case and right now it's also a reason why some people are crying that sutter tried to cover it up. here's the story. >> we were shocked. >> reporter: rick grossmann is an attorney representing 1,500 self-insurance plans possibly one held by your own employer. the plans went up in part because sutter healthcare was manipulating charges for healthcare in northern california. >> everybody in northern california was affected by this. it increased the prices that are charged by thousands of sutter doctors, increased the prices that are charged by 26 sutter hospitals across northern hospital and as t

sutter has already ha -- someone mentioned medical red-lining.they're trying to close beds in berkeley because there are too many patients on medi-cal. they tried to close sutter santa rosa and are tried to close the marin general hospital because it wasn't profitable. they're closing a facility and harming the patients because it's not profitable enough for them. i agree with the gentleman from sutter who says we need single payer, but while we fight for single payer, these not-for-profit, these hospitals need think about what in means. it doesn't mean they can profit on the ills of other people, because that's exactly what they do. if the insurance companies are not going to pay enough, if your insurance company is a bad one, or medi-cal or something, they don't want you as a patient. that's not right. everybody deserves healthcare and sutter needs to not profit on people's misfortunes. >> supervisor safai: thank you. any other members of the public wish to come forward and comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed.

sometimes sutter buys the stolen livestock, sometimes they steal the livestock from sutter. somebody is always working some kind of angle. now, that doesn't mean that things don't get tough, especially as more and more american settlers start to arrive in california, especially after the gold rush, because what that starts to do is threaten the like food level subsistence. if you can't go out and gather acorns without being assaulted by miners, if you can't fish the streams because miners are dumping so much gravel and sand into the streams by mining that it completely destroys the salmon run, then you're in a level of trouble that fur trapping can't fix. me then you don't eat. so there are other ways that it becomes tough for indians, but the commodity stuff, the beaver, the livestock, any one of those things is not always completely the worst of economic survival. we've got a contest here. go, jordan first. >> how come you focused on this region and time period of trading? >> i have the worst answer for this question. so do you remember when we talked about how historians

john sutter acknowledged this. they reorganized their village towards producing pickled salmon of all things for export to hawaii, mainly. i have a great picture of indian salmon fishing here. this is on the sacramento river in 1854. you can see indians here in and they have a large net stretched across the river to catch salmon that would be spawning upstream. not so much anymore because of damming of the rivers and agriculture, but back in the day, california used to have an abundance of salmon. sometimes you hear records of people who have visited the pacific northwest who talked about, you could walk across the river on the backs of salmon. that's how the sacramento river would have been. so you can imagine what they're netting. using the native manufactured nets and fishing lures, talked about splitting the fibers from the bark. with a little bit of instruction from sutter, who was no expert in pickling salmon, but mostly from their trial and error, they mastered the techniques of preserving salmon in barrels

divers are going to want to pay close attention as they head south on van ness approaching sutter. the 2 southbound lanes of traffic split apart to take cars around the center median as part of this ongoing construction project. these newly shifted lanes all morning led to slower traffic and a lot of close calls. there was a lot of confusion during the morning commute along vanness avenue in san francisco . this driver swerved into the lane in a matter of seconds, nearly sideswiping other cars. this is all because of a new lane configuration along this is the corridor. as you drive south, two lanes split apart to take traffic around the center medians but it can appear at times as though you are heading into oncoming lanes. to make it's very confusing. van ness avenue is one street that i try to avoid because of these concerns. i noticed this morning, that narrow lane, it's a lot more challenging. >> reporter: all morning southbound traffic along this stretch of van ness avenue seemed to funnel down to one lane with many drivers hesitant to drive in the left lane. clearly there is
