>> united health care care? >> this is a huge addition to our increase. >> they all have to pay it. >> we understand that. >> good afternoon. hi, so from our perspective we see the hit tax, it is something we have to pay. so we see it as a pass-through only, so we're just calculating the tax based on the equation given to us by the federal government and then passing that on to the client based on the premium. it's a 2.01%. and each firm is taxed differently, depending on their tax status. we are for-profit company, so we get the full impact of the tax. >> but that's very much like some of the mandates that we have here in san francisco and whether a person in a restaurant setting decides to pass on the full amount and increase their menu rates or whether they're going to absorb that to some degree to maintain a client base coming to their restaurant. so i'm raising a question. not about your tax status, but about the policy or the perspective of passing it totally through, versus assuming some portion of it. >>

and then across the country, there is a united health care medicare preferred provider organization which we call uhc and ppo. so three acronyms in one. we've labelled the washington northwest washington kaiser plans as multi-regions as there are also plans available to non-medicare retirees. page 2 is insight on how many covered lives there are in each of these programs. the uhc ma ppo has the highest number of covered lives because it is a national plan. 77-8% live outside of the kaiser service area, so that would be the sole plan available, but for the remain der, there is healthy choice. there is approximately 13,000 covered retirees in the kaiser permanente senior advantage or kpsa plan in california. you can see from the multi-region plans, there are not many enrolled, but certainly this is a valuable benefit for those who live in those service areas and decide to choose kaiser. and it's noted in the first bullet, there is also 34 early retirees who are enrolled in kaiser non-medicare coverage in washington, northwest and hawaii. the remainder of the document focuses on the two prim

i'm a vice admiral in the united states public health service commission corps. it's why we wear this uniform. very, very proud to wear this uniform. interestingly enough, we're one of the seven uniformed services. we're actually older than air force. the public health service started through an act passed by president john adams, the second president of the united states, no relation that i know of. but passed by [laughter] dr. adams: passed by president john adams. you know what's interesting is we wear navy uniforms because we inspected ships as they came into port. we were there to make sure diseases, like measles, didn't get into our country. and i never thought that as the 20th surgeon general, i'd still be dealing with the same diseases that the first surgeon general of the united states had to deal with over 150 years ago. but i think it reflects in many cases a failure on our part to engage with folks. and i know we're here to talk about opioids, bing it's -- but i think it is important to dig into measles a little bit because this is a case where everyo

currently serving his 50 week sentence for skipping bell in the united kingdom now at the end of may we know that he was transferred to the prisons health world and indeed here in the united kingdom the courts did decide to postpone a hearing at the westminster magistrate's court late last month due to his ill health as he was unable to appear not even via video link and indeed the wiki leaks they too believe that his condition is worsening by the day there being a higher security guards or maximum security prison it's difficult for anyone for julian spent 7 years combined in the ecuadorian embassy before a. medical treatment without most of the article 3 limbs now on top of that nonsmoker he was indeed visited by the un special rapporteur on torture. having said that british politicians here in the united kingdom including foreign secretary jeremy hunt they believe that this is not a matter for exterior interventions and only a matter for the british judicial system here in the united kingdom so let's recap exactly where we are at now of course the case was reopened after the wiki leaks co-founder was hauled out of london's ecuadorian

these are critical components. 75% of our health care costs in the united states are from chronic diseases $2 trillion to $3 trillion a year. so my health care plan is make sure we get everybody covered. mental health, addiction, all of these critical issues facing people today. but let's flip this system and get people healthy. you want to knock the knees out from the pharmaceutical industry? let's all say, how do we get a little more healthy in the united states so we don't need the damn pharmaceutical system. we save that money for people who are really sick. and can't change that for -- through their diets or other things. the money should be reserved for those people. get out of the disease care system and move it to health, food and take care of our soil. >> congressman tim ryan. >> thank you. >> thank you very much for tonight. thank you all for joining us. stay right there. still ahead, congressman eric swalwell will join us at the top of the hour. my buddy jim sciutto takes over next. we'll be right back. thanks, everyone. allergies with sinus congestion and pressure? go to the ph

we also announced and speaker pelosi has emphasized our weekend of action on health care in the united states of america. we expect there will be over 100 different member-led events that will take place on friday, saturday, or sunday of this weekend to emphasize what democrats have been doing on the question of lowering health care costs and protecting people with pre-existing conditions and what we intend to continue to do. we will not be swayed by the fact that the grim reaper continues to obstruct progress in the united states of america and that the senate has turned into a legislative graveyard. we are going to make it clear to the american people that we are committed to the cause of lowering health care costs and protecting people with pre-existing conditions and lowering the high cost of prescription drugs. we want to find common ground and want to work with the other side of the aisle but we need the senate and the president to be willing to do their jobs. let me now yield to our dynamic vice chair from the commonwealth of massachusetts, my friend katherine clark. ms. clark:

they need to oversee our behavioral health unit, oversee our physician's office, assist members getting back to work. again, it's a trust factor with a sworn member. they are going to oversee the workers' comp carveout, where they are going to save a lot of money, and they need to do research for best practices to reduce exposure to our members. so in my bones i feel this, culturally and institutionally, we need them to have that cultural and institutional knowledge to make this program effective. we've seen the impact that boston fire department, we often compare ourselves to boston, we're a similar size department, but we've seen the work that boston has done, and they've really reduced their workers' comp, they've made a lot of behavioral changes within their department, and are seeing an overall improvement in worker behavior and health. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: yeah, thank you, chief. i'm trying to wrap my brain around sort of -- i guess now that we're focused on it, exactly what this position will do, and it's helpful

need to have another conversation around health care that recognizes that 75% of the health care cost in the united states are from chronic diseases that are largely preventable. 75%. if we are going to fix the health care system, we have to put this thing from a disease care system, a sick system, where we wait for people to get sick and then dumped money into it, and then wonder why cause are going up, and we spend 2.5 times more than anybody else in the industrialized world and get worse results. let's flip the system and reward doctors for keeping us healthy. rebates for staying or getting healthy. half the country today, adults, almost half have diabetes or prediabetes. the cost to the health care system, 2.3 times as much as a nondiabetic. i don't care if we are single-payer, private health, fee for service, out-of-pocket, v.a. care, i don't care what we are talking about -- that system is going belly up in years, if half the country has diabetes or prediabetes. now we are realizing that you can actually use food as medicine. who knew? right? but there are private programs -- pilot programs o

unit. my mental health however didn't get better. i was living by myself and feeling isolated, depressed and hopeless. i also tuned to people for support. i ended up using alcohol and drugs to cope with my depression to help my life and my time living alone. fortunately, with the social work program, i was referred to 626 mission bay housing and this great organization. here i am blessed to have a apartment to share with my mom and dad which allows me to have a family support system that i needed to be able to focus on my goals and recovery. my social workers has also been tremendous men doesltremendousl. it's never too late to obtain an education and be a member of the society. now i'm beginning to dream again. currently i have returned to community college and take classes in hopes of becoming an architect. my hope is to build shelters and for those facing homelessness in the city of san francisco. because of the support and safe housing i'm able to focus on giving back to the beautiful city that has given me a lot. my current goal

united states. something that we know that promotes health. so i asked this room full of mayors, about 50 mayors, how many of you all reason for office on a pledge to lower your community's hemoglobin a1c rates. i know we're in a mixed crowd. that's the way you measure the severity of someone's diabetes. if you have a more walkable community, you'll lower diabetes rates. i was shocked. not a single mayor rose their hand. but that's the problem. in many cases, we talk about -- we only measure health outcomes, but then we try to talk to folks who are being measured on different variables. so the scott county example is a great one. we were out there proud of the fact that we'd handed out thousands of needles. well, the sheriff is actually measured by how many needles he gets off the streets, not on to the streets. so we're talking about hiv and hepatitis cases averted. as much as the sheriff may care about that, he's more worried about break-ins. he's more worried about the overcrowded prisons. so it's why we've got to go to their table and find

health service. we currently have 10 units. we have 60 volunteer and we see over 500 clients a week and our wait list is full. i'm born and raised in san francisco. i think we all know that there are lot of people individuals in the city that are falling through the cracks. while people might be able to make a full income that doesn't mean they can afford the cost of living in san francisco. this state of being can have really high toll on mental health. by being able to take on people that cannot pay full fee we're able to offer really service to this community to our city. i'm really proud to be a part of liberation institute. i'm passionate about the work they do. i feel strongly this is a very needed service in the city. affordable rent is necessary for our business model. at this point we're still struggling to stay open. we have more and more people coming in for our services. we are hardly making the money we need now to stay open. we mostly rely on funding from generous donors. we need more generous donors. this started
