SAN FRANCISCO- 2 health proposals for uninsured 'fit together'

A proposal by Mayor Gavin Newsom to offer universal health care will not fly without requiring businesses and other city employers to choose up part of the tab, the city's health director said Wednesday.

Dr. Mitch Katz, head of the Department of Public Health, ended the statement during a Board of Supervisors committee hearing on two health care plans -- Newsom's to expand care to the city's estimated 82,000 medically uninsured adults, and Supervisor Tom Ammiano's to need employers who do not give minimum levels of coverage to begin paying fees to help the city defray the cost of caring for the uninsured.

"I believe from a health policy point of view that the (mayor's) Health Access Plan cannot successfully go forward without the legislation that Supervisor Ammiano is carrying as well," Katz said. "I do see them as two legislations that were meant to fit together and do fit together."

After the hearing, the board's Budget and Finance Committee voted to unite the proposed ordinances.
