"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders have reached a deal on a $127.5 billion general fund budget for the upcoming fiscal year, highlighted by a plan on how to spend more than a billion dollars of revenue from the state's new tobacco tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement \u003ca href=\"http://cert1.mail-west.com/nmc7rm7Nyj7A/417Ngtmyuzja/oy9mgscnvnl/vnq7Nwx/av5hoql417Nq/aqucocyqz?_c=d%7Cze7pzanwmhlzgt%7C14ydbu5inpbphdn&_ce=1497369899.f3af490cda4d6e20c20f458cf70f714e\">announced Tuesday\u003c/a> was printed in time for legislators to take a final vote on the deal on Thursday, helping meet the requirements of a new law mandating a 72-hour review period for legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This budget keeps California on a sound fiscal path and continues to support struggling families and make investments in our schools,\" Brown said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative Democrats can count budget victories not only in the new tobacco tax spending, but also in boosts to child care funding and an expansion of a tax credit for the state's working poor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's more progressive than past budgets in recent history,\" said Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Brown administration wanted the \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_56,_Tobacco_Tax_Increase_(2016)\">Proposition 56\u003c/a> tobacco tax dollars to be folded into the state's existing Medi-Cal program for low-income residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats and Republicans in the state Legislature pushed back, arguing that the intent of the measure passed by voters in November was to specifically address low reimbursement rates for Medi-Cal providers. Both houses of the Legislature wanted nearly a billion dollars of the new revenue to be directed toward reimbursement boosts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"When we impose taxes on the populace of California, I think we’re obligated to spend those taxes for the purposes that we represent to the public,\" said Assembly Budget Vice Chair Jay Obernolte (R-Hesperia). \"\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was very much the legislature versus the administration on this.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final deal will provide $546 million to reimbursements, with increases for doctors, dentists, family planning providers and providers serving the developmentally disabled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One important caveat: The rate increases are contingent upon approval from the federal government. Republicans in Congress have been supportive of reimbursement rate increases for doctors, but may not be as likely to approve a waiver for a $50 million increase in rates for women's health service providers like Planned Parenthood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If I had a Magic 8 Ball to guess what the Trump administration would do, then we could plan our budget that way,\" said Assembly Budget chair Phil Ting (D-San Francisco). \"But we can't live life that way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers were on a tight timeline to approve a final budget deal. Proposition 54, passed in November, requires legislation (including the budget) be in print for 72 hours before a final vote is taken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the language unveiled on Tuesday was \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/09/california-lawmakers-make-progress-on-budget-but-issues-remain/\">agreed upon in conference committee\u003c/a> last week, while later deals were worked out on issues that included tobacco tax spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Funding Increases for Child Care, Tax Credits\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Democratic gains in the budget agreement were paved by a compromise with Governor Jerry Brown on projected state revenues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget for the upcoming fiscal year sticks to the Governor’s more conservative estimate of next year's revenues, but adopts the legislature’s projections of a larger property tax windfall. These dollars help cover a larger portion of required school funding, thereby \u003ca href=\"http://calbudgetcenter.org/blog/increases-local-property-tax-revenues-help-states-general-fund/\">freeing up\u003c/a> other general fund money for new spending priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The revenue projections opened the door for legislative Democrats to fund eligibility expansions for child care subsidies and the state's \u003ca href=\"http://audio.californiareport.org/archive/R201706020850/e\">earned income tax credit.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax credit will now cover Californians living off of a minimum-wage, and those who are self-employed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By expanding the CalEITC, state policymakers will help more hard-working Californians to afford the basics and advance economically,\" said Chris Hoene, executive director of the nonpartisan California Budget & Policy Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Housing, Cap and Trade Left Unaddressed\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The budget deal was silent on new revenues to address California's affordable housing crisis, as well as plans to extend the state's cap-and-trade program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An Assembly proposal to spend $400 million on affordable housing, originally proposed by Brown, was killed in budget committee last week. Speaker Anthony Rendon called that sum \"somewhat anemic\" and said the Assembly would continue to address housing in policy bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"We do need a continuous source of funding,\" he added. \"I think that’s a much better alternative than just having money come out of the budget anyway.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Brown had hoped to extend the state's cap-and-trade program with a two-thirds vote this month, as it nears a 2020 expiration date. The marketplace system allows businesses to buy and sell credits to pollute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It doesn’t necessarily have to get done this year, but the conversations are occurring as we speak,\" said Rendon. \"The conversations are still in the nascent stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement praising the legislative unity around the budget deal, Brown said he is \"confident that we can do the same to extend our critical cap-and-trade program.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But later on Tuesday, the Governor showed less faith that he could rely on getting nearly all Democrats to support a plan, which would be necessary for a supermajority approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking about an extension at an international gathering focused on climate change policy, he said “I’m very confident that the key to that objective is Republicans.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown in April. The findings could prove troublesome for Democrats in the Legislature running for re-election in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're in a competitive district, it could become a campaign issue,\" said Mark DiCamillo, director of the IGS Poll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 1\u003c/a>, carried by Sen. Jim Beall (D-San Jose), will provide $52.4 billion in the next 10 years to fix highways and local roads and fund public transportation. To do that, it would raise the state's gas tax by 12 cents, and add up to $175 on annual vehicle registration fees. The measure barely passed the Legislature, receiving the exact amount of votes (27 in the Senate, 54 in the Assembly) required to achieve the needed two-thirds supermajority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential sting on the pocketbooks of Californians is a likely explanation of why 39 percent of the polls' respondents said they \"strongly oppose\" the new law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Republicans are targeting freshman Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), who voted for the bill. Filings with the Secretary of State's Office on Wednesday show that supporters of the Newman recall have \u003ca href=\"http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/recalls/newman-recall-first-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">submitted nearly half \u003c/a>of the necessary signatures they'll need to collect by October to force a fall election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll's regional trends could also spell trouble for swing district Assembly members Sabrina Cervantes (D-Corona), Sharon Quirk-Silva (D-Fullerton) and Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance). All three voted for the gas tax increase and represent districts in Orange and Riverside counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll finds that opposition to the road repair plan is strongest in those two areas. Seventy-two percent of voters in the Inland Empire and 67 percent of voters on the South Coast voiced disapproval. The law is most popular in the San Francisco Bay Area, where 46 percent of voters still opposed it, compared to 45 percent in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive transportation plan passed only after a full-court press by Gov.

The CBO estimates that in total, 51 million Americans will be without health insurance by 2026 under the GOP plan. Exactly like the President’s budget released yesterday, the Republican health bill gouges the poor to pay for tax cuts to the rich.

To review: Brown is looking to end the Middle Class Scholarship Program, eliminate a $400 million set-aside for affordable housing from last year's budget, and freeze the planned addition of 3,000 state preschool slots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Democrats in the Legislature took particular issue with the timing of the proposed cuts, which came after the administration had miscalculated the cost of the state's Medi-Cal program to a tune of $1.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"> State Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell told KQED Newsroom that the Senate and Assembly \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/NMjGuxDwegY?t=14m17s\">seem united\u003c/a> on a number of spending priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are some above-the-fold issues resonating with all of us,\" including child care, health care, and funding for In Home Supportive Services, she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>Will the Governor Change Course on In-Home Care Reforms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The January budget proposal came with a dramatic shift in the way the state would fund in-home care for half a million elderly and disabled Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The cost for In Home Supportive Services is currently shared by the state and counties; Brown's proposal would reduce the state's share by around $626 million. The January budget acknowledged that \"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">this change is likely to result in financial hardship and cash flow problems for counties.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Legislators were critical of that proposal, and an Assembly budget subcommittee went in a different direction, pushing for a plan to reduce the burden for counties, and sending them additional state funds to help with the cost shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>The Trump Effect \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">When Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/10/governor-jerry-brown-says-state-should-plan-for-rainy-budget-days/\">unveiled his budget plan \u003c/a>in January, President Trump had yet to take office, and the governor said there were \"too many uncertainties,\" to realistically plan around federal cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Those \"known unknowns\" are a bit clearer, one week after a health care plan that would eventually stop the flow of billions of Medicaid dollars to California passed the House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">But with little flexibility, and with the federal government still relying on stopgap spending measures, it would be a surprise if the governor were to begin building a budgetary wall against future federal cuts.\u003c/p>\n\n",

To review: Brown is looking to end the Middle Class Scholarship Program, eliminate a $400 million set-aside for affordable housing from last year's budget, and freeze the planned addition of 3,000 state preschool slots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Democrats in the Legislature took particular issue with the timing of the proposed cuts, which came after the administration had miscalculated the cost of the state's Medi-Cal program to a tune of $1.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"> State Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell told KQED Newsroom that the Senate and Assembly \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/NMjGuxDwegY?t=14m17s\">seem united\u003c/a> on a number of spending priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are some above-the-fold issues resonating with all of us,\" including child care, health care, and funding for In Home Supportive Services, she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>Will the Governor Change Course on In-Home Care Reforms?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The January budget proposal came with a dramatic shift in the way the state would fund in-home care for half a million elderly and disabled Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">The cost for In Home Supportive Services is currently shared by the state and counties; Brown's proposal would reduce the state's share by around $626 million. The January budget acknowledged that \"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">this change is likely to result in financial hardship and cash flow problems for counties.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Legislators were critical of that proposal, and an Assembly budget subcommittee went in a different direction, pushing for a plan to reduce the burden for counties, and sending them additional state funds to help with the cost shift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cstrong>The Trump Effect \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">When Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/01/10/governor-jerry-brown-says-state-should-plan-for-rainy-budget-days/\">unveiled his budget plan \u003c/a>in January, President Trump had yet to take office, and the governor said there were \"too many uncertainties,\" to realistically plan around federal cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">Those \"known unknowns\" are a bit clearer, one week after a health care plan that would eventually stop the flow of billions of Medicaid dollars to California passed the House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">But with little flexibility, and with the federal government still relying on stopgap spending measures, it would be a surprise if the governor were to begin building a budgetary wall against future federal cuts.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>After the House voted Thursday to narrowly approve a Republican-drafted bill that would eliminate many of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, KQED collected statements made by California's members of Congress explaining why they voted the way they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We gathered comments made via social media and on the floor of the House, as well as from press releases sent out by each member's office. We included links to their Twitter and Facebook pages where you can see some of their statements, plus additional comments they've made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California's congressional representatives, the vote split along party lines: all 14 Republicans voted in support of the bill; all 38 Democrats against (an additional seat remains vacant after Xavier Becerra was named the state's attorney general). We have included a searchable table of the votes at the end of this post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate is far from certain.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale, District 1)\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Here’s what we know: Obamacare is collapsing. Insurance providers are pulling out of the exchanges, premiums are continuing to skyrocket, and choices for Americans are dwindling – and it will only get worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, the reality is that too many young and healthy individuals are deciding they’d rather pay the penalty than sign up for care, citing financial barriers and lack of choice. A 28 year old making $45,000 a year with no major health concerns is not going to pay upwards of $400 a month for a plan that does not even work for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they are not alone. In fact, in 2015, 7.5 million people chose to pay the penalty rather than purchase coverage. That same year, over 12 million filed for hardship exemptions. That’s nearly 20 million people that actively are not in the market today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This causes premiums in the individual market to continue to rise, leaving middle income families struggling to afford their monthly payments, while providers continue to drop out, citing costs, and leaving residents with even fewer choices. Premiums are up 25% nationally and predicted to continue to rise, while one third of counties will have just one insurer this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my very first day in Congress, the constituents of Northern California have pleaded that we get this law repealed and replaced with something that actually works for them. We also know that there will be no help from Democrats, forcing us to use the budget reconciliation process which requires only 51 votes in the Senate as opposed to 60 - Republicans have 52 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate Parliamentarian requires every measure to have a budgetary effect. Without budget reconciliation, this bill would need 60 votes to pass and would be dead upon arrival in the Senate – sticking Americans with the high costs of Obamacare for another year. This was our one and only shot to get this done using the budget reconciliation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules of reconciliation force the House to be cautious not to exceed parliamentary guidelines, but the Senate will have significantly more flexibility in their own chamber to test parliamentary limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, we passed legislation today that will ensure Members of Congress and staff are subject to the same healthcare options as the constituents they serve. This bill is not a finished product, but it’s a start. The American Healthcare Act is a positive step that will ultimately return the freedom of choice back to the patient.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepLaMalfa\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/RepLaMalfa/\">Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael, District 2)\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The narrow, party-line passage of TrumpCare today in the House is a disaster for the availability and quality of health insurance for my constituents and for our neighbors and families all across the country. TrumpCare will take away health coverage from 24 million Americans, gut coverage for mental health and other essential benefits, increase premiums 25-29% on average in each of the next two years, threaten funding for special education services in schools, impose an age tax on seniors, and it will once again allow discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions like asthma and diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At its core, TrumpCare is a massive tax break for the wealthiest of Americans, with the Republican Congress playing the role of a ‘reverse Robin Hood’: robbing health care from millions of Americans in order to hand out $600 billion in tax breaks to our country’s richest people and largest corporations. The Trumps, Kushners, and Kochs do not need this assistance from Congress. You know who does? The families across my district -- and across the country -- who rely on Medicaid, and on the health insurance that they purchase, to keep their families healthy and to recover from health crises. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Trumpcare’s passage in the House today is a hard loss, there is a long road ahead before this becomes law.

It will destabilize funding for Medicare, taking $75 billion out of the trust fund, and blow a $10 billion annual hole in MediCal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will practically eliminate the guarantee of coverage for pre-existing conditions, which could affect over 300,000 people in my district. But it will provide a massive, $600 billion tax cut to America’s richest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is an outright assault on the poor and the sick, and a huge transfer of wealth to the rich. Even worse, the Republican majority rushed to a vote on it without giving the Congressional Budget Office a chance to tell us just how bad it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I served for eight years as the Insurance Commissioner of California. I know exactly what insurance companies will do under policies that gives them free rein, and that’s what this bill does.

Last year’s average premium increase of 25 percent is expected to balloon by another 40 percent this year. Last year there was only one provider in a third of American counties; this year entire regions will be without ANY providers. This week we learned Obamacare policies will NOT be available at any price in almost all of Iowa. Last year, more Americans opted to pay the steep tax penalty or request hardship exclusions than chose to purchase Obamacare plans they didn’t want and couldn’t afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Health Care Act replaces the compulsory one-size-fits-all bureaucratic model of Obamacare with a voluntary, patient-centered system by restoring a healthy competitive market, where patients will have the widest range of choices and the freedom to choose the plan that best meets their needs -- along with a supportive tax system to assure that plans are within their financial reach. Patients with pre-existing conditions are guaranteed coverage at affordable rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had hoped the reforms could be enacted as a single, comprehensive bill. Conspicuously lacking in the AHCA is a provision to restore the freedom of consumers to shop across state lines, which will be vital to Californians stuck in the highly-regulated state system. But the AHCA moves us quickly toward a consumer-friendly health-care system and follow-up legislation will assure that Californians can access reformed markets in all fifty states.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepMcClintock\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/jointom/?hc_ref=SEARCH\">Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena, District 5)\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This was a terrible bill in March, and it is a worse bill today.

It’s not about families sitting down at the dinner table and saying, ‘How are we going to allocate resources so that our child with a pre-existing condition can have health care?’ Or, ‘How are we going to deal with a person with a disability into older age?’ This is about giving a tax break to the richest people in our country and corporate America at the expense of those people at that dinner table -- very sad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest transfers of wealth in the history of our country.

We included links to their Twitter and Facebook pages where you can see some of their statements, plus additional comments they've made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For California's congressional representatives, the vote split along party lines: all 14 Republicans voted in support of the bill; all 38 Democrats against (an additional seat remains vacant after Xavier Becerra was named the state's attorney general). We have included a searchable table of the votes at the end of this post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The House bill now moves to the Senate, where its fate is far from certain.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale, District 1)\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Here’s what we know: Obamacare is collapsing. Insurance providers are pulling out of the exchanges, premiums are continuing to skyrocket, and choices for Americans are dwindling – and it will only get worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, the reality is that too many young and healthy individuals are deciding they’d rather pay the penalty than sign up for care, citing financial barriers and lack of choice. A 28 year old making $45,000 a year with no major health concerns is not going to pay upwards of $400 a month for a plan that does not even work for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they are not alone. In fact, in 2015, 7.5 million people chose to pay the penalty rather than purchase coverage. That same year, over 12 million filed for hardship exemptions. That’s nearly 20 million people that actively are not in the market today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This causes premiums in the individual market to continue to rise, leaving middle income families struggling to afford their monthly payments, while providers continue to drop out, citing costs, and leaving residents with even fewer choices. Premiums are up 25% nationally and predicted to continue to rise, while one third of counties will have just one insurer this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my very first day in Congress, the constituents of Northern California have pleaded that we get this law repealed and replaced with something that actually works for them. We also know that there will be no help from Democrats, forcing us to use the budget reconciliation process which requires only 51 votes in the Senate as opposed to 60 - Republicans have 52 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate Parliamentarian requires every measure to have a budgetary effect. Without budget reconciliation, this bill would need 60 votes to pass and would be dead upon arrival in the Senate – sticking Americans with the high costs of Obamacare for another year. This was our one and only shot to get this done using the budget reconciliation process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rules of reconciliation force the House to be cautious not to exceed parliamentary guidelines, but the Senate will have significantly more flexibility in their own chamber to test parliamentary limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simultaneously, we passed legislation today that will ensure Members of Congress and staff are subject to the same healthcare options as the constituents they serve. This bill is not a finished product, but it’s a start. The American Healthcare Act is a positive step that will ultimately return the freedom of choice back to the patient.”\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepLaMalfa\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/RepLaMalfa/\">Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael, District 2)\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“The narrow, party-line passage of TrumpCare today in the House is a disaster for the availability and quality of health insurance for my constituents and for our neighbors and families all across the country. TrumpCare will take away health coverage from 24 million Americans, gut coverage for mental health and other essential benefits, increase premiums 25-29% on average in each of the next two years, threaten funding for special education services in schools, impose an age tax on seniors, and it will once again allow discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions like asthma and diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At its core, TrumpCare is a massive tax break for the wealthiest of Americans, with the Republican Congress playing the role of a ‘reverse Robin Hood’: robbing health care from millions of Americans in order to hand out $600 billion in tax breaks to our country’s richest people and largest corporations. The Trumps, Kushners, and Kochs do not need this assistance from Congress. You know who does? The families across my district -- and across the country -- who rely on Medicaid, and on the health insurance that they purchase, to keep their families healthy and to recover from health crises. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Trumpcare’s passage in the House today is a hard loss, there is a long road ahead before this becomes law.

It is cruel. I simply cannot believe that something this bad could pass the House of Representatives, but it has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bill will strip 24 million people of their health insurance. It is a crushing age tax for Americans of 50-64 years of age, and will force them to pay up to five times as much as what a 30-year-old would pay for the same coverage. It will destabilize funding for Medicare, taking $75 billion out of the trust fund, and blow a $10 billion annual hole in MediCal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will practically eliminate the guarantee of coverage for pre-existing conditions, which could affect over 300,000 people in my district. But it will provide a massive, $600 billion tax cut to America’s richest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is an outright assault on the poor and the sick, and a huge transfer of wealth to the rich. Even worse, the Republican majority rushed to a vote on it without giving the Congressional Budget Office a chance to tell us just how bad it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I served for eight years as the Insurance Commissioner of California. I know exactly what insurance companies will do under policies that gives them free rein, and that’s what this bill does. The amendments that were put on this bill at the last second do nothing to reduce the devastation it will impose on America’s most vulnerable.

Last year’s average premium increase of 25 percent is expected to balloon by another 40 percent this year. Last year there was only one provider in a third of American counties; this year entire regions will be without ANY providers. This week we learned Obamacare policies will NOT be available at any price in almost all of Iowa. Last year, more Americans opted to pay the steep tax penalty or request hardship exclusions than chose to purchase Obamacare plans they didn’t want and couldn’t afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Health Care Act replaces the compulsory one-size-fits-all bureaucratic model of Obamacare with a voluntary, patient-centered system by restoring a healthy competitive market, where patients will have the widest range of choices and the freedom to choose the plan that best meets their needs -- along with a supportive tax system to assure that plans are within their financial reach. Patients with pre-existing conditions are guaranteed coverage at affordable rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I had hoped the reforms could be enacted as a single, comprehensive bill. Conspicuously lacking in the AHCA is a provision to restore the freedom of consumers to shop across state lines, which will be vital to Californians stuck in the highly-regulated state system. But the AHCA moves us quickly toward a consumer-friendly health-care system and follow-up legislation will assure that Californians can access reformed markets in all fifty states.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RepMcClintock\">Twitter\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/jointom/?hc_ref=SEARCH\">Facebook\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena, District 5)\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“This was a terrible bill in March, and it is a worse bill today.

I’m honored to be here with the distinguished members of the House Democratic Leadership, as well as some of our members who are joining us. It was very interesting to see the debate today. I think there is no question that Democrats won the debate. Republicans have the majority -- they won the vote. But, the American people now have to judge them by how they have acted -- not by how we have characterized what they stand for. Now, they are on record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I said, this vote will be tattooed to them. As I also said, they will glow in the dark. This is a great civics lesson for America because most people don’t know who their member of Congress is. Well they do now. They know them as a member of Congress who made their premiums and out-of-pocket go up, had a crushing age tax on those 50 to 64, have (made) 24 million people fewer have access to health care, health insurance, and again, being very casual, undermining recklessly Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true to their philosophy that Medicare should 'wither on the vine.’ Any moderate in the crowd who voted for this bill turned radical today, because this is a radical bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And you know what it’s all about, sadly? It’s not about families sitting down at the dinner table and saying, ‘How are we going to allocate resources so that our child with a pre-existing condition can have health care?’ Or, ‘How are we going to deal with a person with a disability into older age?’ This is about giving a tax break to the richest people in our country and corporate America at the expense of those people at that dinner table -- very sad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest transfers of wealth in the history of our country.

On Friday, the index stood at 90.2, and, with more wet weather certain to visit the North State, that number will continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve seen lots of references to the index this season, though no explanation of what it actually represents. Is it a simple mean of the eight stations? Or is there some sort of algebraic voodoo thrown in to flummox D students?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doug Carlson, a DWR spokesman, answered the question this way: “Every day, the accumulated precipitation among the stations is totaled up, and then divided by eight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, then: a simple average reflecting the rainfall (and water content of snowfall) at the eight stations for the current water year, which begins on Oct. 1 and runs through Sept. 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next question: What stations are involved and why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight sites are scattered across the Sacramento, Feather and American river watersheds. They’re generally very, very rainy-snowy spots compared to what we’re used to in most of the Bay Area. Brush Creek, northeast of Oroville, is one of the Feather basin sites. It has recorded a mind-boggling 121 inches of precipitation since last Oct. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The watersheds themselves are tracked because it was recognized when the index was created in 1920 that rainfall they were the sources of an abundant water supply. In later decades, they became the key basins for the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are the eight sites the Department of Water Resources uses in the Northern Sierra eight-station index.

It has recorded a mind-boggling 121 inches of precipitation since last Oct. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The watersheds themselves are tracked because it was recognized when the index was created in 1920 that rainfall they were the sources of an abundant water supply.
