Ocean beach is rank one of the most dangerous beaches in the united states. The biggest threat is those rip currents that can catch even experienced swimmers off guard. More than 80 of lifeguard rescues at the countrys surf beaches involve people caught up in rip currents. And there is not a lot of lifeguard coverage here at ocean beach.

But now, california and new york attorneys general are being called the leaders in a 16state charge that are trying to intervene in that federal lawsuit. The ags say they are trying to protect care for millions of americans. The issue stems from a lawsuit filed by House Republicans in 2014 seeking to block billions of dollars in payments to Insurance Companies to subsidize lower income americans. The lawsuit is still ongoing and the Trump Administration seems unlikely to fight to preserve the funding. They are asking the federal court to allow the states to directly defend the law.
