President trump maybe celebrating his first big legislative victory but there are is a lot of work ahead for the repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care act the bill passed by the house yesterday still has to pass the senate. There may be some longer term political consequences. Doug luzader joining us live from washington. You have much more on this story. Good morning. Reporter good morning. By longterm consequences we are talking about the midterm election. There is some concern amongst republicans that they may face a backlash. On the other hand, many of these House Republicans feel like they delivered on Campaign Promises and got through this repeal yesterday. Congratulations on your boat today. Thank you very much. It was great. A big day. Reporter it was a big day for the president as he was congratulated by the australian Prime Minister in new york last night. The republicans came together. Two days ago it was like magic. Reporter the vote was close but the gop prevailed. Passing the plan that would allow states more flexibility to alter obamacare insurance requirements to help bring premiums down. And it would offer tax credits to help purchase plans critics say many would pay more in coverage would be worse. House democrats saying goodbye after the bill passed suggesting republicans will suffer in next years midterm elections. You have every provision of this bill tattooed on your foreheads. You will glow in the dark on this one. You will glow in the dark. Reporter whats next . The senate which could spend several weeks preparing for a vote. Expect changes and skepticism from both democrats and republicans. I want to be supportive. I want to repeal obama care but i dont want to have to vote for a federal program, a new one that will be hundreds of billions of dollars paid to insurance companies. I am all for capitalism but im not a big fan of crony capitalism. Reporter that gives you an idea of the challenges that lie ahead for republicans in getting this thing through the senate. There are a number of reports that the senate may more or less start from scratch and come up with their own plant rather than try to fix what they see as the shortcomings in this house plan. That could make it even more difficult to reconcile the house and Senate Version and get something to the president s desk. Doug luzader live in washington extract joining us now live in the studio talking about the potential impact of this bill is doctor ison of, the ceo of the Community Health care provider, health right 360. Thank you for joining us. You are really concerned about this. Your focus is on low income people and Substance Abuse victims. What are your concerns . You have to realize that in california almost 4 Million People got healthcare through the medical expansion. And another million and a half got insurance through the exchange and through the subsidies from the exchange. They all stand to lose those benefits with the new Health Care Bill that the house of representatives just passed. In the bay area, thats about 700,000 people affected. In particular, one of the things that the new bill does is it eliminates the mandate for covering certain kinds of Health Benefits which includes Mental Health treatment and Substance Abuse disorder treatment. That could have a serious impact on the people. So many people get their care through our clinics because of medical. Prior to the medical expansion, about 80 of our patients had no Health Insurance. Which means even if they could be seen at a free clinic, its hard to get followup care its hard to get medicine and its hard to get those medications you need to help treat depression, other types of Mental Illness and treat Substance Abuse disorder and to prevent opioid overdoses. Thats really what we are concerned about, the loss of care for those people. The bill now heads to the senate. What changes would you like to see . We hope the senate takes a more humane approach and thinks about we cannot in this country afford to kick 24 Million People off of their Health Insurance. That has a profound effect in a developed country like ours. Its hard to imagine that we could do that. Will we hope to see is that they cover previously previous conditions. The guarantee that the essential Health Benefits that people need like Maternity Care and pharmacy benefits, that those things are covered. We help the people of all income levels get the support. It potentially puts at risk older adults who can be charged five times more for their healthcare. We think that the senate, we hope, its a more deliberative process. It went through so quickly, if you recall, it was not even scored. We do not know what it will cost. We will not no its impact. We hope the senate takes a more deliberative process. Do you agree with those who say, even supporters who say, the Affordable Care act needs to be changed in some way. Absolutely. I dont think theres anybody on both sides of the spectrum, democrats and republicans, who disagree on that matter. There were elements of the Affordable Care act in which Health Insurance was still not affordable enough. I think we definitely can look at what the congress can do to find some way to make sure that all americans are covered in a way thats affordable and covers all their healthcare needs but if we dont treat them now, people get sick. We will treat them one way or another. Thank you for joining us today. Heres the question of the day about this topic. Do you support the new American Healthcare act that was just passed by the house and is now heading to the senate . Let us know what you think i voting on the twitter page or on ktvu. Com.

They say that they are working with the city council and the school board. They are trying very hard to come up with a way to expand on these programs to have more of these waitlisted parents get their children enrolled in these Afterschool Programs. At this point, one school is going to be able to expand. They did get the approval to expand. They just cannot announce what school that will be because at this point they still need to hire the staff, do background checks on staff and figure out how many students they will be able to let in. There really is the high demand that is forcing parents to camped out all night in order to ensure that their child has a place to go after school. Leigh martinez in south San Francisco.
