My name is ali and ive been a registered nurse here for 36 years now, to consider weakening any part of healthy San Francisco now when there is so much thats unknown about the Affordable Care act is concerning. The employer spending requirement needs to remain in place and thats really important. I have a story i would like to tell you, im sure we all have stories but this is a friend of my daughter, a 28 yearold full Time Restaurant worker would was born and raised in San Francisco, he was in a serious accident last year, on his way to work, he was on a scooter and a bicyclist ran a red light and he slammed into a post, so he was taken by ambulance to San Francisco general, he suffered a severe concussion, had multiple abrasions, needed dozens stitches in his knee, his helmet saved him from more serious injury, he was unable to work to work for several weeks, he received a bill for over 32 thousand dollars for his care which is more than what he made in a year, luckily he was enrolled

Again, planned parenthood supports healthy San Francisco and were doing a tremendous amount of outreach getting people enrolled in expanded medi cal and covered california. Thank you very much. Next speaker.

Pay the full amount would have put him in dire straits, he will be mandated to buy insurance now, but with his income, he would be able to afford a high deductible plan if he can afford any plan at all, we dont have medi cal yet, the aca is more about access to insurance, healthy San Francisco is about access to health care, so lets leave it in tact. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker .

San francisco is the way to go, were not going to give into the growing pressures of taking investment out of the community and say this is an antipoverty program, we Want Health Care to resound and a right of all san franciscans and all californians, so were asking for your leadership.
