Individuals beyond the most frequently cited group of undocumented immigrants who are categorically excluded for from eligibility for subsidies. As tom ammiano said, there will be people who simply will not be able to afford to enroll in the aca. Therefore, i have asked the City Attorneys Office to clarify eligibility requirements for healthy San Francisco to ensure that the Program Remains open not only to the citys undocumented residents, but to other groups of immigrants who are excluded from subsidized exchange coverage. Medical and medicare, to ensure that its accessible to dependents who are disqualified for Exchange Subsidies because their family members have received offers of affordable individual coverage, payer with unaffordable dependent coverage and to other individuals who are exempt from the individual mandate provisions of the aca. The final point, final principle that will be at the heart of this ordinance is that in order to maximize the uptick of Health Insurance recover california, the legislation will direct the department of Public Health to educate employer and employees more urgently on the options available for them to utilize employers required contributions and access federal subsidies towards that end. I am confident that we will be able to close this loophole this time. I believe that all of us share in what mayor lee has said should be the objective when it comes to health care in San Francisco, to maximize affordable quality Health Insurance coverage for all San Francisco residents and employees. I look forward to a robust and productive dialogue over the coming weeks. I look forward to your input. And, again, i want to thank my staff, specifically hillary ronan, the City Attorneys Office, the department of Public Health, and so many people including the coalition that brought Us Universal Health Care for all their input. I am confident that in the midst of this affordability crisis that we will make sure that access to health care remains affordable to all san franciscans. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor campos. Supervisor cohen. Thank you. Thank you very much. 18 , 18 of 3 to 4 year olds that are enrolled in our [speaker not understood] programs in San Francisco were actually obese last year. ~ head start programs. So, today im going to call for a hearing on the impact of chronic diseaseses that are related to consumption of sugary sweetened beverages and San Franciscos lowincome communities. And, you know, recently theres been a lot of dialogue about how diabetes impact our youth and our families nationwide as well as citywide. But as many of us can attest, chronic disease he related to the consumption of soda and sugary sweetened beverages really hit lowincome and minority communities particularly hard. These diseases include but are not limited to heart disease, tooth decay, liver damage, and obesity. Now, im sure many of us have seen the [speaker not understood] impacts of sugary beverages on neighborhoods, probably even inside your own personal families. And we know that in recent years that the bayview Hunters Point neighborhood had more diabetes related emergency room visits than any other neighborhoods in San Francisco. So, as you see there is a theme here. Supervisor campos is introducing consideration for a measure that will address health care. I am asking for a hearing that will begin to help to address health care disparities. We need to start to do more, rolling up our sleeves, and making sure our walk and our talk are in line with each other. It is my hope this hearing will help us understand the correlation between chronic diseases and the lowincome communities in San Francisco. I also hope that the hearing will help shed light on the prevalence, the impacts and more importantly, the cost of these diseases on the most impacted neighborhoods across the city. The rest, madam clerk, i submit. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor cohen. Supervisor farrell. Thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, last summer as we start to dive into spending and what weve done in the city around the Homeless Population, i requested the legislative analyst put together a report designed to understand where were spending our money in San Francisco for Homeless Services with also comparisons with other jurisdictions that have a sizeable Homeless Population both inside and outside of california. Today im releasing that report. I do believe that an order significantly impact the homelessness in San Francisco, we need to under how [speaker not understood] and this report helps us do just this. I wanted to get this report out today because it served for me an unbuysed base to understand more about the services we provide today as a city. As a starting point to analyze areas where we can improve. The report highlights strides in the city to reduce the Homeless Population and also highlights that our population over the last 10 years has remained the same. I will continue to say that i believe we need data driven solutionses to significantly impact the Homeless Population here in San Francisco and this report is real data and real facts about the Homeless Services we currently provide. I hope this report serves as a base of understanding as we move into budget season and begin to make decisions about how were going to allocate resources for the Homeless Population. I am also requesting that our budget and legislative analyst produce an annex to this report. There will be a thorough examination for the costs and subsidy cost and subsidy variation in our Supportive Housing programs and units citywide. The report will also analyze tenant outcomes in the front End Assessment that happens in our Supportive Housing programs as well as intaking compliance criteria for entry into Supportive Housing. A previous controllers report irish to youed to theactionv supervisor mirkarimi, found targeted investments into Supportive Housing generated significant cost saving but specifically mentioned they lacked a greater analysis of the issues i mentioned. We are working with the budget and legislative analyst to help us make beter and data driven decisions about [speaker not understood]. I know our department of Public Health, the Human Services agency, along with our Supportive Housing providers do a fantastic job today, but more analyst is needed to help improve tenant outcomes in the Supportive Housing programs. I look forward to sharing this report and the additional report i have requested for my budget and legislative analyst and the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor farrell. Supervisor kim. Thank you. I just wanted to add my [speaker not understood] support for legislation that supervisor campos is drafting today and looking forward to renewed discussion on closing the loophole for our Health Care Security ordinance. As you know, we had a spirited discussion three years ago on this issue. One that i was actually really divided about throughout the debate, but came at the end to decide that this was incredibly important for so many of our workers, particularly in our restaurant industry. This loophole is long, long overdue and i support the efforts to close it. And i am excited to see the details of the legislation and looking forward to with supervisor campos to make health care Health Insurance affordable for all san franciscans. And the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor kim. Supervisor mar. Thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, last week i chaired a hearing, it was a very heated hearing on the rapid growth of uber type private vehicles on our streets. Also known as Ride Share Companies or, quoteunquote, Transportation Network companies or tncs. At the hearing, chair campos, supervisor yee, supervisor avalos and i learned that the convenience that so many san franciscans are enjoying with these types of vehicles is coming at a price to the Public Safety and the citys economy. With up to 4,000 additional private vehicles, cars driving people in uber and vehicleseses throughout the city without proper insurance, drivers, passengerseses and pedestrians alike face significant ~ safety risks. And when medical costs arent covered by insurance, it strains local Public Health system to make up the difference. This new unregulated industry or as some of us call it a wild west of additional cars on our city streets, it pose he many challenges and the issues are extremely complex based on state policy and local policy as well ~. I believe we dont need to trade convenience for safety and we could achieve both. But i think we must study the costs and the impacts of these socalled tncs and figure how they best fit in within our existing transportation system. So, with the cosponsorship of supervisors campos and avalos, we are asking the budget and legislative Analyst Office to study two thing. One, the fiscal impacts of collisions involveding uninsured or underinsured tncs on the city and, two, what policies of other cities consider not just seattle, but perhaps other cities are enacted to mitigate the impacts of these socalled tncs. We want san franciscans to enjoy high quality and safe service and we believe we can have both. So, i look forward to continuing the conversation and learning more about the complex issue. A we he craft legislation for accountability, transparency, and most of all, Public Safety as the new industry of uberses and other type vehicles expands in our city. ~ also, i wanted to alert people that traffic danger and Pedestrian Safety issues havent been only occurring in other districts, but in the Richmond District, its been one of the Critical Issues of many of us in district 1. Last night at about 5 15 p. M. , a fiveyear old child and one adult were struck right outside the Golden Gate ParkSenior Center on 37th and fulton, and my office has been working with residents in that area for quite a while to try to calm traffic, but its another example of how i believe the city must deliver safety projects much, much faster and the vision zero [speaker not understood] and transportation first are good steps, but i want to keep urging the [speaker not understood] to be proactive as we slow the number of collisionses and make our streets safer. Also i wanted to commend supervisor campos for continuing to advocate and to show leadership on Health Equity for all of our neighborhoods and for low wage workers, especially around the Health Care Security ordinance. We have an unprecedented opportunity to make Health Insurance of covered california truly affordable to San Francisco workers. Im hopeful that we can coordinate the Health Care Security ordinance and our Affordable Care act together in order to increase the number of insured san franciscans. Im continuing to support supervisor campos and othersertionv to close the loophole and ill continue to do soughtv so, thank you to supervisor campos for introducing that. ~ to do so also, as supervisor cohen alerts us of the dangers of obesity and diabetes and other Health Problems from Unhealthy Foods and drinks, junk drinks, i think the anecdote often has been not only increased healthy and affordable food access or taking on Big Companies that promote and market to our kids and communities, but also its promoting physical fitness in our neighborhoods. In the Richmond District coming up on saturday, were having the citys mobile rec coming to one of our newly renovated parks in the Richmond District. Its the folsom playground and its from 11 00 to 2 00 p. M. I challenged my colleagues on the board and your staffs as well to learn how to skateboard with me. Ill claim the rock climbing structure with you as well, but i want you to come out and join us as we have a fun day with rec and park staff and others to really look at how we can increase physical fitness and activity within our neighborhoods. So, join us on saturday. Also, its the San FranciscoUnified School District youth Arts Festival coming up from march 15th through the 23rd at the asian art museum. And thanks so much to jay and his staff for accommodating the great Young Artists from our School District and all the schools in San Francisco. It really shows what creativity has been generated from our Arts Education work in the School District and throughout the city. For the past 28 years, the unique San Francisco event, young and art, formerly young and art, ha brought together families, teachers, artists and others to make sure that our city can be proud of our supportive Arts Education. I also wanted to say that 30 years ago i was an intern with an organization thats now become cam, the center for Asian American media. It was formerly called the national Asian American telecommunications association, quite a long term, name. And supervisor campos and i are both or supervisor chiu and i are both attending the kickoff this coming thursday for the Asian American film festival. And i wanted to let my colleagues know that its running from march 13th through march 23rd and its at many locations in the bay area, including the castro theater, the kabuke cinemas, new people cinema in japantown, nihamache, unique places david chius district great star theater in chinatown as well. The great stars had deep roots in chinatown showing movies since the 20s. It will be a treat to see movies in that old theater again. Also, one of the film showing that im looking forward to is on sunday, march 16th at the castro. Its a film by a film maker grace lee. Its called american revolutionary, the evolution of grace lee boggs. 98 year old grace lee bogs, many of us met her. I met her 20 years ago the a conference at ucla people conference. She is an amazing activist in detroit creating gardens, bringing together africanamerican and chinese immigrant population. She is an amazing person with energy like crazy. Im happy the films come together with the support of danny glover, so many who helped grace lee make this movie. I urge you to join us for film like that and many others that are coming. I wanted to finish by saying that my colleague, john avalos, and im happy its john avalos day today, and he joins the over 50 club that norman yee has been in for quite a few years. And i joined quite a while ago, but im not going to tell you how long ago. But its nice to have a third colleague in the over 30 club. But i wanted to say, too, that to avalos, i think 50 is the new 30, but i would ask you not to follow jeraldo riveras lead in taking selfies of yourself. [laughter] [speaker not understood] our colleague, john avalos. And ill explain them in a minute. I think some in the crowd celebrating johns byerthctiontion day last night were calling him the Latino George clooney ~. The Latino George clooney, the actor, right. I think that is at the National Level i see i think thats an insult to our colleague supervisor avalos because i think his leadership with local progress at the National Level with City Council People and county supervisors and local leaders is tremendous. Hes acknowledged from all the cities around the country as an amazing, amazing leader who builds policy from the grassroots and from the bottom up. He also is strongly supported by Grassroots Network here of Many Community based organizations. I view the George Clooney comment
