Important it has been for them over the last four difficult years financially for families to have been able to deliver what is essentially flat trends for the last four years. 4 years. There is also the view of this just for the city and county of San Francisco on slide 9. The premium increase is a 7 percent increase. A 1. 1 percent increase and a negative 2 percent decrease for that portion of that. Thats primarily due to the blue shield and city plan premium. We did also want to mention on page 10, that there is a rates and benefit packet. A flat premium incentive subsidy. This was at the meeting on the Health Service board. The board approved a rate card for the blue shield and city plan and this card will provide a subsidy from the trust fund to bring the 2014 only contribution to be the same contribution of the kaiser contribution for our members.

Can you explain that discrepancy. I cant remember where that was where the document that i was reviewing. My understanding that the citys plan and blue shield was going down and kaiser was going up by 5 percent. This is an aggregate of the active and early retiree rate.
