Going down by as much as 15 percent. But i think with the information that you presented, im happy, well, i will be supporting this today. And i also want to recognize our Community Advocates and labor that have spent a lot of time also trying to raise awareness around this issue. This isnt just an issue in San Francisco. This is a statewide national in San Francisco. I want to thank those that have pushed accountability that kaiser has made more. Im going ask them to publically justify their rates. This isnt just a fight for this city. This is something that i know that our ally has done. They have been working with cal state insurance commissioner jones to push for more transparency, looking how to cap rates and looking for things that actually miss dodd lets the efforts around with blue shield last year. I look forward to working with hsf. I tried to serve on the group, its because of you that im incredibly fascinated by this issue. As we work with cpncs and now with kaiser that wan
Rates. This isnt just a fight for this city. This is something that i know that our ally has done. They have been working with cal state insurance commissioner jones to push for more transparency, looking how to cap rates and looking for things that actually miss dodd lets the efforts around with blue shield last year. I look forward to working with hsf. I tried to serve on the group, its because of you that im incredibly fascinated by this issue. As we work with cpncs and now with kaiser that wants to expand and in my district in mission bay, i think its important and vital that we continue to have that discussion and we grow in San Francisco. Supervisor breed . Thank you, i really appreciate the time and effort that all of my colleagues have taken to review this matter especially on the budget and finance committee. I think one of the things we need to and supervisor mar to make sure that we are asking questions and looking at the details. I also know its not our job to micro manage
To speak lineup on the right hand side of the chamber. Good morning members and board of supervisors. I also want to welcome back katherine dodd. I have known her for years and i dont think this situation would have been resolved. As a kaiser baby, i was born at kaiser. Thank you for resolving this, but at the same time thanks for holding kaisers feet to the fire. Because although they maybe a great provider and cheapest alternative around, i too was shocked to hear that the c eo makes 10 million a year. The fact that they would not justify, thanks for making sure this worked out this time and hopefully well have more transparency next year. Thank you, next speaker. Supervisors, catherine and colleagues from Health Service system. Im a former commissioner 26 years on the Health Service board. The last couple of weeks are turning me gray over night.

Justify, thanks for making sure this worked out this time and hopefully well have more transparency next year. Thank you, next speaker. Supervisors, catherine and colleagues from Health Service system. Im a former commissioner 26 years on the Health Service board. The last couple of weeks are turning me gray over night. I just want to thank all of you very much for finally coming around on this issue. I think its been very difficult. There are a number of colleagues in the audience that came today because they were very very concerned. Most of them are retirees. As you heard ethyl speak, they are very worried about our future. We are happy that you held kaisers feet to the fire and more happy that you are talking about holding blue shields feet to the fire. The reason that we are taking the risk, our trust fund, our city takes the risk for blue shield because their rates were going out of sight and we worked out an issue where we thought that we can do better by taking that risk and ex
Bear my shocking reaction. Thank you for the assessment. Thank you. Next speaker . Hi. I think its important to know im not shamed of my age. Im 82 years old. I have been a member of kaiser since 15. If you take away my kaiser, i might as well go over the bridge. I have just had major surgery. I cannot be jumping from one doctor to another. I have to have my kaiser and im not alone. Absolutely not alone in these feelings. Help and make sure that kaiser doesnt disappear. I need my kaiser and im sure there are many people in this room that feel the same as i do. Please dont throw away kaiser. Kaiser is a major in this city. Please. If i say anymore im going to start crying. Thank you. If anyone wants to speak lineup on the right hand side of the chamber. Good morning members and board of supervisors. I also want to welcome back katherine dodd. I have known her for years and i dont think this situation would have been resolved.
