They have learned from this experience, and i know for a fact that given the opportunity, kaiser will

There are thousands of kaiser members with issues and medical conditions and children and family members who depend on kaiser and kaiser and watched it go from a small imperfect system to a much better provider. So please move this forward and urge your colleagues to vote for it. Were already going through a lot as families, dont put us there anymore. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please. Good afternoon. Members of the board of supervisors, my name is fred, im a broker here in San Francisco.
