As the temperatures warm up, lots of people are expected to flock to bay area beaches this weekend but officials are warning beachgoers to be extra careful. Kpix 5s anne makovec is live at ocean beach in San Francisco where strong rip currents are expected. Anne. Reporter yeah. Not only are we going to see a lot of people heading to the beach because the weather is going to be so warm this weekend its also bay to breakers day here on sunday. That means allotted of people who end the race here at ocean beach might be tempted to take a dip. Unfortunately, a lot of those people are also going to be drunk. So there is some danger here this weekend when it comes to these rip currents. There is a sign here beside me. But a lot of people simply ignore it. Ocean beach is rank one of the most dangerous beaches in the united states. The biggest threat is those rip currents that can catch even experienced swimmers off guard. More than 80 of lifeguard rescues at the countrys surf beaches involve people caught up in rip currents. And there is not a lot of lifeguard coverage here at ocean beach. So the best advice you may have heard it before, swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current and then swim toward the beach.

The state is now taking legal action to save Affordable Care act funds. Kpix 5s jackie ward joints us now to tell us more. Reporter this lawsuit has been going on for years. But now, california and new york attorneys general are being called the leaders in a 16state charge that are trying to intervene in that federal lawsuit. The ags say they are trying to protect care for millions of americans. The issue stems from a lawsuit filed by House Republicans in 2014 seeking to block billions of dollars in payments to Insurance Companies to subsidize lower income americans. The lawsuit is still ongoing and the Trump Administration seems unlikely to fight to preserve the funding. They are asking the federal court to allow the states to directly defend the law. In a tweet, becerra says, thanks to the aca, over 5 Million People in california receive quality affordable healthcare many for the first time. Protect our care. If payment to Insurance Companies ends, becerra says coverage would drastically change for millions of americans. He also added that theres no way to predict the direction of the trump white house.

A new report suggests several courthouses in the bay area could see pose a serious danger to people if a massive quake strikes. Kpix 5s Jessica Flores is live in oakland with the details. Jessica. Reporter kenny, nine bay area courthouses would be unsafe during an earthquake and one of those is right behind me. The Alameda County Administration Building actually has two civil courts on the 3rd and 4th floors. Its ranked the second worst in the state. The worst is actually in Southern California. In glendale. The state report found 56 California Trial Court buildings pose a risk to human and building safety in the event of an earthquake. The report gives lawmakers recommendations as to which courthouses urge gently need funding for retrofitting. The cost of doing the 12 highest building would be 320 million. This is at a time when the state already lost about 1. 4 billion in Court Construction funds. So other high risk Court Buildings in the bay area include the Sonoma County hall of justice, Contra Costa County richmond bay district, Contra Costa County Wakefield Taylor courthouse in martinez, Alameda County fremont hall of justice, and San Francisco hall of justice. Now retrofitting the Alameda County Administration Building alone would cost 64 million. A final report is expected in early 2008p im Jessica Flores, kpix 5. A danger for beachgoers looking to cool off near the coast this weekend. Kpix 5s anne makovec is live at ocean beach to explain. Officials are warning people to watch out for rip currents. Reporter you can see one of the many warning signs here behind me. Im going to step out so you can see the beautiful oceanview that were sorry, cant talk that we are waking up to this morning. Im distracted by the beautiful oceanview. Anyway, its gorgeous. But it is also dangerous. There is the possibility of rip currents all along our shores ocean beach is actually ranked one of the most dangerous beaches in the united states. The biggest threat is those rip currents that can catch even experienced swimmer off guard. More than 80 of lifeguard rescues at the countrys surf beaches involve people caught up in rip currents and there isnt a lot of lifeguard coverage here at ocean beach. So the best advice, you might have heard it before, swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current and then swim toward the beach. But yeah, it is going to be a gorgeous weekend here. We are looking at temperatures around 70 in pacifica where they also have rip currents but well have a lot of people in particular on sunday because the big bay to breakers race ends right here. So hoping everybody is going to heed the warnings. Live in ocean beach, anne makevoc, kpix 5. [ crosstalk ] go ahead. We were saying roberta is warning dont turn your back on an angry ocean. You know what my favorite par of ocean beach is . The cliff house. You can sit inside and enjoy a mimosa and look out over the waves. Dont have to worry about the dangerous waves.

Since adapting the aca, the state of california has reached a historic low when it comes to people without health insurance. In 2016 only 7. 1 of californians did not have health insurance. So jackie, how much would premiums increase if theres a loss of subsidy payments . Its not good.
