the saving grace is california. california is moving forward saying we're going to compete in that playing field and we're going to take more money into clean tech and bring jobs and industry here, and it if there's one part of the country that's leading the way, it is california. the united states cannot be 17th. we've got to change that. >> let's talk about this leadership that we keep hearing about from california. there's a decision forthcoming from washington -- or a recommend dashgs i should say, on auto fuel efficiency standards out to the year 2025. california has been in the middle of this. how important is california's -- let me put it another way. how much impact will this decision ultimately have and would it even be happening were it not for california's sort of push in this direction? >> i mean, there are a mof factors, but i don't want to ever estimate the leadership of california. when the united states sees and when other states see one state can do it, they can leave and put in place new regulation

one of california's largest industries. but each year, public defenders and private providers of quality defense battle for every dollar needed to protect this constitutional right. the bar association of san francisco is committed to partnerering with, not competing with our public defenders. san francisco fortunate to have a strong public defender and a bar system committed to quality representation for the poor. to best guarantee quality indigent defense, our partnership with the public defender and bar association is essential. they are each other's complements. the sum of the part that makes the whole of criminal defense work so well in san francisco. a challenge for our profession will be to ensure that cities and counties fighting seemingly endless budget deficits do not fall prey to the burgeoning business offered through websites of contract services for criminal defense. our constitution mandates that people accused of crimes be represented by comp at the present time council. not the last expensive council. on a

california are less healthy. do you have an explanation for that? >> i do. if you can bear with me, we will get there. what i do want to mention next is one of the big drivers in health care. if we look at the amount that wages and salaries have grown in the health-care market compared to other industries -- and health care market has grown significantly. we believe a big part of that has to do with the shortages we have seen in the market for skilled labor. here is where we start to go down -- supervisor campos: do those labor costs include health care? health care costs as well? >> yes, all salaries and benefits. supervisor campos: that is an important point. to the extent you are saying salaries are going up, but a reason is the cost of health care, which is the focus of this discussion, and that is an important differentiation. >> actually, i'd think what i said is part of the reason they are going up is because of the shortage of workers. so let's take a look at what california spends. i will drill down into

on put up the 80% and california gets a high- speed rail system. some of the federal money that was bound for the rail in other states is heading to california. re-- denying by other governors means more money for the california rail and 160,000 jobs and the other up side is the environment. the united states creates 30% of greenhouse gases, and the rail would be electric run, deceasing the use of oil and smog production from cars and is and -- from cars and planes. >> so linking high-speed rail makes perfect sense, you can move people and goods through a system that takes out the time and inefficiencies and making better uses of resources. >> the airport communications director said the air port will will lose short haul transit and that means that less oil being used and better for the environment. >> another projected benefit would be to improve california's economic status. >> we have to catch up if we intend to continue to maintain our position as an economic leader in the world. and high-speed rail is the single most obvious way to accomplish

has benefited california health- care consumers. that consolidation and other actions have reduced that competition and it has led to higher prices and increase spending as a result. policies are needed to restore competition, to the competitive structure of the health-care system. research shows that hospital price competition benefiting california health care consumers, in terms of increased efficiency, lower prices, and ultimately, lower health insurance premium growth. the way that health care price competitions, one of the main factors, that has been used by health plans representing consumers, employers, negotiate with health care providers selectively to negotiate their inclusion in health plans, and that one of the factors included in that negotiation is the price. so the ability of health plans to selectively contract from a range of different providers created this environment of price competition, which encouraged providers to compete both on price and cost efficiencies. that has held cost and prices down for quite a whil

in california, half of the people who commit murder are not caught. we need to catch the people committing murder. this is what she means when punishment must be firm, if people get away with murder, they learn that they can and the community learns that they can. this is really the fundamental problem. we can do much better job if we were actually to replace the death penalty to life without parole and invest the money saved in solving homicides. every victim's family should have some justice. >> i wanted to ask you to perhaps tell the audience about the controversy related to the death qualified jury. many people did not realize that when we select a jury for the death penalty case, this is comprised of different members of the city. >> people look to california as we continue to send a lot of people to death row every year, with the highest number of new death sentences. people look at the state and they see how many people in california are moving away from the death penalty, who favor replacing the death penalty and how can you have so many peopl

in california, those laws are pretty heavily regulated. for example, the private screening firms cannot report of arrests -- or they are not supposed to -- and i cannot report convictions going back more than seven years. federal law does not even close, not nearly as good. that is consumer protection law. then, applicants are entitled not to report arrest on an application, so we are very familiar with lots of good laws on the books that are never enforced. the real challenge is to get about enforcing these laws. i do not know if you want to talk about it -- >> tell us about what is next. how can we be successful in taking -- you mentioned there are some good laws on the books. do we -- do they go far enough? how can we take it further? how can we essentially this reform? this seems to be critical. >> we had this huge proliferation of background checks. this huge proliferation of this industry that is collecting all these criminal records, and you have way more people walking around with a criminal record. one in five, as was mentioned. s

and northern california are real. i just wanted to reassure you that we have seen the same thing. when we look at our kaiser data and to our kaiser rate renewals, those costs are divided between northern california costs and southern california costs, and you see the same variation. there is no coherent rationale for why costs vary between facilities or side of service. as you pointed out in your remarks this morning, you could look at the same procedure in the same locale and see those prices vary from 2.5 to three times more between one facility and another in the same geographic area, and we have found no rationale that allows that to be explained. i want to pause here from my prepared remarks to talk about the colonoscopy benefits. you will probably hear about our hips and knees referenced by saying, and i'll be happy to talk about it, but also in the blue shield plan, we did implement a colonoscopy benefit, whereby if a member seeks their colonoscopy from an ambulatory surgery centers, they do not have a share of
