representatives from the small business in desperation, health and human services, and insuring the uninsured project. i think some of the highlights for the fact that there are millions of americans that are now insured who were previously uninsured are able to get insurance that were previously unable due to thpre-existing conditions. from a small business perspective, health care reform has really assisted, especially the small business tax credits for health insurance for the employees. the very small employer will hopefully be able to provide health insurance benefits now and into the future. commissioner adams: i would like to tell everybody that on june 4, cliffs variety store will be celebrating 75 years of the same street and i owned by the same family for the last 75 years. they'll be having an all-day celebration with merchant demonstrations, party and the parking lot, it will benefit aids emergency funds. the civil rights academy and the honor walk. i would encourage everybody to come out to celebrate the seventy fifth anniversary. president o'brien: any other commissioners to rep

but it's the uninsured that don't get. you know, if everybody becomed insured, then what won't -- i mean still everybody can't get everything. someone is not going to get something. i think looking at the end of life as a place to try to cut huge expenses is a misstep. there are often expenses there. but often it's in retrospect that we know it was the end of life. if you look at the tallies of expenses the last, you know, three months of life or, you know, that's -- now we know that. but at the time, there might have been an opportunity to save these individuals. and so i think we have to be really careful about that. >> what do you interview for if that ever happens to me? >> you know, i didn't interview anybody. at the time i -- the schindlers had written a book, michael schiavo had written a book. i did meet judge guerrier once. he didn't want to talk about the case. instead i took the public sources. because so much had been written and the schindler provided so many interviews and michael schiavo had provided intervie

care for the most vulnerable, after sending more than 30 million americans back to the ranks of the uninsured, the republican budget finds trillions of dollars to give as tax cuts to the wealthiest among us. republicans say we are too broke to afford the promise of medicare. but we are flush enough to spend trillions in tax cuts for those of us who are the best off. in fact, the republican budget spends so much on corporate subsidies and tax breaks for the wealthy and loses so many savings by repealing the cost controls in the affordable care act, that it fails to balance the budget for 10 years or even 20 years. we have been down this so-called path to prosperity before. it leads to skyrocketing deficits because the supply side doing ma that lower taxes -- dogma that lower taxes leads to revenues has proven false over the last three decades. read the facts. if republican tax dogma made sense, then our debt would not have increased 200% under ronald reagan. or 115% under the second president bush. but they did. in fact, we have seen republican promises of prosperity proven wrong time and time

the cow called affordable care act would increase coverage for the uninsured, but that is going to create greater demands for health care, but at the same time, we put in constraints, we limit physician training and restrict the very supply of health care and consequently, much of the increased demand will deliver us higher prices, not more services. congressional budget office and the chief ackture -- actuary who scored the legislation admit they did not demude the effects for increased services. in fact, the chief actuary, his report wasn't released until after you passed the bill a little over a year ago and signed it into law. that's the initial budget estimates understates the true cost of the amount of spending that was contained within this health care law. the available budget estimates ignore the impact of higher taxes on economic growth. almost 4% surtax on interest, dividends and capital gains for those earning over $250,000 will reduce business investment and employment. thus, the new tax will reduce economic growth and generate less revenue than expected. this problem cannot

plus the amount of subsidy it paid to the health and hospital corporation, the city hospitals agency, to pay for care for uninsured people, that ran for every year of the transit administration, that ran from 40% of the budget gap. every couple of years exceeded 100% of the budget gap. in other words, for some years entire budget gap in the city's financial plan can be attributed to paying for costs for health care costs for uninsured people. in order to bring those costs down, very difficult decisions have to be made. no politician wants to close hospitals. hospitals under politicians want to open hospital. some of the city's hospitals like everything else the city was running were in very, very bad shape indeed. now, there was a hospital in harlem. it was historically important for the black community because it was the first hospital in new york city about african-american physicians admitting privileges. and this was a huge milestone, and it was controversial. another historically black hospital, a private one, arthur logan hospital had just closed a few months before. under bean. and so other mayors had kept

we need to figure out how to make up the cuts because they fund essential services for people with hiv and aids who are uninsured and underinsured. two other concerns, one is around hepatitis c. the other had the honor of being appointed to previous years, the hepatitis task force. we had a number of things in it that we think funding them will help save us money down the road in terms of preventing new hiv transmissions, insuring that people currently living with it are aware of their status and have access to treatment, and ensuring that the services that the department provides are optimally coordinated so we are not spending too much money and different things and assuring people who are in health the san francisco have access to the full range of treatments that are available. one of the recommendations in particular around preventing new transmissions to the supervised injection facility has the potential to save the city significant money down the road. the last comment is specific to community policing and how we are deploying police and criminal justice resources. we are spending a lot of money using ou
