we got a lot of feedback from members being happy that now they had ak stows ucsf so that was something positive that we learned that we had not anticipated, even though we know ucsf is a world-renowned medical institution in the united states we didn't know our members knew that as well. we did have some sutter interference with the enrollment and there was a lot at stake for sutter and it was a lot of revenue to be lost should they lose thousands of patients and not having them fill their hospitals and this is a normal reaction they did want to do a communication campaign and fortunately city and county of san francisco took a proactive approach and approached them directly through the city attorney office asked them if they were and then collaborateed in the communications and it above been ideal had they not done anything because they were confusing and created noise but they worked in h.s.s. as far as an outsideer could see. there was an additional robocall that did cause further confusion and the noise hit the target, there was definitely confusion and reaction to the letters as w

talking about that relationship and again i have a buy as because i worked at ucsf but i think a lot of people in town recognize the excellence of that institution and so that is the main thing. i just -- these things, i mean i know a lot, i've been doing this for years and i really found it -- a couple of times i was completely confused and almost slipped back because i thought i lost my primary care physician because the information wasn't able to be accessed and like even when you go to -- soy went to get my flu shot as people have identified and also to do the enrollment and talk about trio and it wasn't really easy to get the information like one person looked on the screen and said my doctor was not in trio and another person looked on their screen and said that my doctor was in trio and so that level of confusion -- >> i didn't talk -- you are reminding me. we had another -- there were lots of nuances i didn't mention but i recall there was a lot of provider confusion at the open enrollment meetings and so brown and toll around again, they customize this network and protocols

this is just one of many agenda items that they will be covering over their two- day meeting here at ucsf mission bay. the university of california wants to raise in-state tuition by $342, 2.7%. that would mean they would be paying 12,$972 for the 2018- 2019 academic year. out of state students would pay an additional $978 bringing their total to $28,992. uc officials say increased financial aid would cover the added costs for more than half of the 180,000 california students who already don't have to pay tuition. those students would also get about $100 more for housing, food and books. uc has been getting less money from the state over the years which is one of the reasons they need to keep raising tuition. just this year, governor brown proposed a 3% increase down from a 4% increase in each of the last few years saying that uc needs a little more scrutiny on how they are spending things. if approved, uc says all this additional money $137 million in total would go towards things like enrollment growth and tuition for financial aid. jackie ward, kpix 5. >> the regents moved the vote so
