THE CONFIRMATION OF DR DAVID
CARLYLE DOCTOR SANDRA HERNANDEZ,
DOCTOR RICHARD KRON AND J
ELIZABETH MITCHELL FOR
APPOINTMENT TO THE HEALTHCARE
AFFORDABILITY BOARD. ALL FOUR OF
THESE APPOINTEES ARE WELL KNOWN
AND ESTABLISHED AND ESTEEMED IN
THEIR FIELDS AND BRING DECADES
OF EXPERTISE IN HEALTH POLICY,
HEALTH CARE, DELIVERY AND ACCESS
TO CARE. THEY WERE APPROVED BY
THE RULES COMMITTEE ON FEBRUARY
14TH. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
IPHONE. THANK YOU, SENATOR LAIRD
RECOGNIZING SENATOR JONES. THANK
YOU, MR PRESIDENT. MEMBERS
MEMBERS IN THE RULES COMMITTEE
LAST WEEK. I ABSTAINED FROM A
VOTE ON THESE PARTICULAR
APPOINTEES BECAUSE I WANTED TO
DIG A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO
BOARD AND ITS RESPONSIBILITIES.
UH, MR PRESIDENT, WITH
PERMISSION TO READ, PLEASE,
WITHOUT OBJECTION. THIS IS FROM
THE REPUBLICAN ANALYSIS OF S¼ B
184, WHICH WAS A BUDGET TRAILER
BILL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
CREATION OF THE OFFICE OF THE
HEALTH CARE AFFORDABILITY TO
ENFORCE HEALTH CARE PRICE
CONTROLS. THIS BILL ESTABLISHES
A NEW BUREAUCRACY TO SET HEALTH
CARE COSTS TARGETS PRICE
CONTROLS FOR EVERY SECTOR OF THE
HEALTH CARE MARKET, INCLUDING
SPECIFIC COST TARGETS BY THE
PAYER. INSURANCE MARKET IF A
PROVIDER OR INSURER FAILS TO
COMPLY WITH THESE NEW COST
TARGETS, THE STATE WILL ENFORCE
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANS AND WILL
ACCESS ESCALATING PENALTIES
MEMBERS THAT MY CONCERN HERE
TODAY IS THAT THIS BOARD WAS PUT
IN PLACE, UH, THROUGH A BUDGET
TRAILER BILL WITH VERY LITTLE
DEBATE OR DISCLOSURE TO THE BODY
. UH THAT, UH, MANY PEOPLE ON
THIS FLOOR VOTED FOR, UH, WITH
OR WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT
THIS BOARD WAS BEING CREATED.
WE'D ALL LIKE TO WAVE A MAGIC
WAND AND MAKE HEALTH CARE MORE
AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE FOR
ALL THE AND FOR ALL THAT MAGIC
TRICK, EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
THE OFFICE OF HEALTHCARE
AFFORDABILITY AND ITS BOARD ARE
DOOMED TO FAIL. THEY ARE BOTH
SET UP TO IMPOSE PRICE CONTROLS
ON EVERY SECTOR IN HEALTH CARE,
INCLUDING SPECIFIC COST TARGETS
BY THE PAYER PROVIDER AND
INSURANCE MARKET. IF THESE COST
TARGETS ARE STRICTLY ENFORCED BY
THE STATE, IT WILL LEAD TO
UNDERPAYING HOSPITALS. DOCTORS
NURSES AND STAFF FOR SERVICES
PROVIDED AND TO RATIONING CARE
FOR CALIFORNIANS AS THE TRUE
COST OF PROVIDING HOSPITAL AND
HEALTHCARE ARE COMPLETELY
IGNORED. WE HAVE SEEN WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN HEALTH CARE PRICE
CAPS BEFORE? ATTORNEY GENERAL
BONTA IMPOSED PRICE CAPS UPON
THE INITIAL DEAL TO RESCUE MADEA
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. ALL OTHER
CONDITIONS OF THE SALE WERE
AGREED TO BY THE BUYER AND THE
SELLER EXCEPT THAT ONE
UNSURPRISINGLY, THE DEAL FELL
THROUGH. MADEA COMMUNITY CLOSED
ITS DOORS. PEOPLE DIED WITHOUT
ACCESS TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY
ROOM AND NOW FAILING. HOSPITALS
IN CALIFORNIA PREFER TO FILE
BANKRUPTCY BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THEY WILL GET A FAIR HEARING IN
COURT THAN IN CALIFORNIA'S
POLITICAL AND REGULATORY JUNGLE.
AND THEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND
THE LEGISLATURE HAD TO CLEAN UP
THE MESS BY PASSING THE
DISTRESSED HOSPITAL LOAN PROGRAM
TO SAVE THESE HOSPITALS, WHO ARE
ALREADY DEPENDENT UPON
INSUFFICIENT FEDERAL AND STATE
REIMBURSEMENTS FOR HEALTHCARE.
YET HERE WE ARE. BEING ASKED
TODAY TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT
OF PEOPLE WHO WILL IMPOSE PRICE
CONTROLS ON AN ALREADY
UNDERFUNDED HOSPITALS THAT THEY
BELIEVE WILL SIMPLY COST TOO
MUCH AND MEMBERS. I WANT TO MAKE
VERY CLEAR THIS MORNING. THAT MY
OPPOSITION IS NOT NECESSARILY TO
THE APPOINTEES BECAUSE I DO
BELIEVE THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS
AND PEOPLE OF HIGH CHARACTER
THAT ARE WILLING TO SERVE THE
STATE IN THIS CAPACITY. MY
OBJECTION THIS MORNING IS TO THE
HEALTH CARE BOARD THE HEALTH
CARE AFFORDABILITY BOARD ITSELF
THE WAY IT WAS PUT INTO PLACE
AND THE WAY THAT IT'S GONNA BE
MANAGED. I URGE REJECTION OF
THESE APPOINTMENTS TO SHOW THE
GOVERNOR THAT HE CAN'T RIG THE
SYSTEM TO IMPOSE PRICE CONTROLS
THAT WILL CAUSE HOSPITALS TO
CLOSE CAUSE HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
TO LEAVE THE STATE AND,
UNFORTUNATELY TO LESS
ACCESSIBILITY FOR PATIENTS.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ON THE
SENATE IN THE HISTORY OF THE
WORLD. PRICE CONTROLS HAS NEVER
SOLVED A PROBLEM. IT'S ONLY OPEN
A PANDORA'S BOX OF MANY MORE
PROBLEMS. I URGE A NÓ VOTE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SENATOR
JONES. TO RECOGNIZE SENATOR
CABALLERO. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I HAD NÓ INTENTION OF
STANDING UP TO SPEAK. BUT I DO
HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY CLEAR. I I
CAN'T LET IT STAND THE
MISCHARACTERIZATION OF THE
CLOSING OF MADERA HOUSE, BUT
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THAT
HOSPITAL FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A
HALF. AND THAT IS THE GROSSEST
MISCHARACTERIZATION OF WHAT
HAPPENED. WE DON'T NEED TO GO
INTO THAT. I RECOMMEND THAT WE,
UH, CONFIRM THIS APPOINT
APPOINTMENT. THANK YOU, SENATOR
CAVIAR ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE? THE NINE SENATOR LÀ YOU
MAY CLOSE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
UH MR PRESIDENT. LET ME JUST SAY
BRIEFLY AND CLEARLY THAT THAT
WAS AN ATTEMPT TO RELITIGATE A
BILL THAT HAS ALREADY PASSED,
BUT TO THE POINTS THAT WERE MADE
, THAT IS EXACTLY THE DISCUSSION
THAT WE HAD IN THE RULES
COMMITTEE AND I. I PRESSED ON
THE VERY ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED
AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS
FLEXIBILITY IN THIS THAT THE
FIRST GOAL GOAL IS A TEMPORARY
ONE TO SEE HOW THIS WORKS AND
THAT WHEN I RAISE THE ISSUE OF
THE DISTRESSED HOSPITAL IN MY
OWN DISTRICT, I REALLY CAME AWAY
WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT THE
FLEXIBILITY ALLOWS FOR THE
CONSIDERATION OF DIFFERENT
FACTORS THAT GO INTO EVERY
INDIVIDUAL FACILITY AND HOW THIS
IS IMPLEMENTED AND IT IT NEEDS
TO BE SAID THE REASON WAS
ENACTED IS THAT THE HEALTHCARE
COSTS HAVE SKYROCKETED WAY ABOVE
INFLATION WAY ABOVE EVERYTHING
ELSE IN A WAY THAT THIS WILL
BRING ACCOUNTABILITY. THIS WILL
BRING STABILITY AND THIS WILL
BRING MORE RESOURCES TO BE ABLE
TO GO TO HEALTHCARE, WHICH IS
WHAT WE SORELY NEED. UH, THESE
FOUR PEOPLE ARE DISTINGUISHED.
UH UH, IN THEIR FIELD EVERYWHERE
, WHETHER IT WAS NATIONAL
POSITIONS IN FEDERAL
ADMINISTRATIONS, WHETHER IT'S
BEEN LOCAL HEALTH DISTRICT,
WHETHER IT'S SOMEBODY THAT
BUNDLES AND BUYS HEALTH CARE IN
A WAY THAT THEY DO IT IN AN
AFFORDABLE WAY, THEY BRING THAT
EXPERIENCE TO THIS GOAL, UH, TO
IMPLEMENT THE BILL THAT WAS
PASSED BY THIS BODY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE

PROBLEM, AWARENESS AND
EDUCATION. èC PR, ESPECIALLY IF
PERFORMED IMMEDIATELY CAN DOUBLE

ARREST. RECEIVE èC PR FROM

AT ONE POINT, HE GOT DOWN TO 145
FROM A MAN WHO BOARDED AROUND
THREE 100, BUT STILL HE FOUGHT
BACK, AND STILL, HE WOULD.
SOMETIMES WHEN HE WOULD HAVE BAD
PAIN, HE WOULD SAY, GIRL. I JUST
OPEN UP THE DRAWER, PUT MY
FINGER IN IT AND CLOSE IT REAL
HARD, BECAUSE THAT TAKES THE
PAIN TO MY FINGER AND AWAY FROM
EVERYTHING ELSE. UM, EVERY
HOSPITAL HE VISITED, HE WAS
FAVORITE ON THE WARD BECAUSE HE
WOULD BRING HIS FABRIC HE HAD TO
HAVE, UH, PRINTS OVER THE WALLS.
UH I CAN'T TELL YOU THE AMOUNT
OF EVENTS WE WENT TO OR HE WOULD
WALK UP TO A CROWD, AND I WOULD
THINK OH, MY GOD, WE'RE ALL
GONNA DIE. IF YOU'RE GÂY, UH,
YOU GO INTO SOME CROWDS, AND YOU
THINK THIS IS NOT A FRIENDLY
PLACE FOR US? UH OH, WE'RE IN
TROUBLE, AND DANNY WOULD GO UP
AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, THESE BIG
GUYS WOULD BE DRESSED WITH HATS
ON AND JEWELRY AND PURSES AND
CAMPING IT UP, AND EVERY TIME WE
WOULD LEAVE, PEOPLE WOULD SAY,
WHEN IS DANNY COMING BACK? UH,
ONE OF OUR DEAR FRIENDS MOVED TO
PUERTO VALLARTA ABOUT A DECADE
AGO. DANNY HAS MADE HIS HOME
BETWEEN PUERTO VALLARTA AND HERE
, UH, AND HAD A GOOD TIME.
THEY'VE HAD FUNERALS FOR HIM IN
PUERTO VALLARTA. WE WILL, UH,
CELEBRATE HIS LIFE. ON SATURDAY.
HE ASKED THAT NÓ. HE DON'T WANT
ANYBODY CRYING. HE WOULD, BUT
ANYBODY CARRYING ON BUT HE
WANTED A FABULOUS PARTY AND HE
WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHO WAS GOING
TO DECORATE, AND I CAN ASSURE
HIM THAT THE BOYS AND THE GIRLS
ARE SPENDING ALL THESE THREE
DAYS TO DECORATE FOR HIS PARTY.
HE DEVELOPED LUNG CANCER SIX
YEARS AGO AND LIVED WITH LUNG
CANCER. AFTER RECOVERING FROM
THE COLON CANCER. IT WAS ALREADY
A STAGE FOUR WHEN HE HAD IT, UH
AND HE LIVED EVERY SINGLE DAY
THAT HE COULD UNTIL THE VERY END
. UH, IT'S STILL HARD TO BELIEVE
HE'S GONE. IF PEOPLE KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME, THEY KNOW I
LOVE TO COOK. HE WAS MY BIGGEST
BEST EATER. UH, THE TIME SITTING
IN MY KITCHEN AS I'M FIXING HIM
FOOD, HE'S REGALING ME WITH
STORIES. ALMOST TRUE, BUT HE
ALWAYS TOLD ME MY FOOD WAS GREAT
TOO. I WILL MISS HIM THE REST OF
MY LIFE. UH, HE HELPED ME BE A
BETTER PARENT BECAUSE HE WOULD
SAY, GIRL JUST LOVE JUST LOVE
JUST LOVE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE
THINGS, HE SAID. WHEN PEOPLE
REMEMBER I BECAME A PARENT CAN
ACCIDENTALLY MY SISTER IN LAW
DIED. AND IN A MONTH I HAD A
CHILD AND DANNY SAID. WELL, GIRL
, AT LEAST SHE'S PRETTY AND
SMART. SHE COULD BE DUMB AND
UGLY. RIGHT UH, SO THAT WAS
DANNY ALWAYS TURNING EVERYTHING
INTO HOW ARE WE GONNA CELEBRATE
THIS? WHAT IS THAT BRIGHT SIDE
OF IT? UH, I ASK THAT WE ADJOURN
THIS SENATE IN HIS MEMORY. THANK
YOU, SENATOR EGGMAN. THE
STANDARD EXTENDS ITS CONDOLENCES
TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF DÂN
