Andy Slavitt quotes
By not choosing, he's choosing. The most conservative thing is to leave the market. There's no question that based on 100 percent of the people I've talked to ... those [insurers] that will remain in the market will assume the CSRs will not get paid in their pricing assumptions. I think there will be a pretty harsh judgment based on that polls that I've seen.feedback
This is purposeful so that the president can create a crisis and use that to force the Congress to pass his law. He's holding the match.feedback
It's just, honestly, an excuse for a tax cut.feedback

Florida is just being paid by taxpayers not to expand Medicaid. And it's a really inefficient way to pay for medical care.feedback
The more time that passes, the more heroically they need to behave. If they try to solve this whole thing later, they're not going to be able to do it.feedback
Mar 28 2017
Virtually the only words either of us could say, were 'Medicaid is safe.feedback
If they talk about the markets and call them a disaster, they're going to keep [insurers] from wanting to expand because they don't believe the administration is supporting the market.feedback
That's like inheriting an overseas war, and deciding you let your own soldiers get killed because you didn't elect to enter that war.feedback
Mar 24 2017
Don't get distracted by exchanges. The big issue is dramatic cuts in Medicaid to pay for huge tax cuts.feedback
I'm disappointed that they even has as many votes as they apparently do.feedback
There aren't that many options. A lot of these are in fact cheap imitations of the ACA that don't do the job as well.feedback
Mar 16 2017
We will continue to go retail. There will hopefully come a time when policy people in D.C. look to voices like that. I don't think that time is today.feedback
Nobody I know really cares whether we call it Obamacare or Trumpcare or Ryancare, and quite frankly, we'll end up in a better world when we call it none of those things. It wasn't great for Democrats to be the only ones owning coverage reform. Republicans are finding out it isn't great either. Everybody can own this together, because there will inevitably be challenges.feedback
I think he's exactly the kind of person and physician Secretary Price should want on his team.feedback

What happens when people can't afford insurance is that the only people that tend to buy it are the sicker people. This (plan) is not only going to cover fewer people, but it's actually not going to be good for the risk pool, either.feedback
Mar 08 2017
The president says he's going to put forward a replacement bill that would cover the same number of people more affordably. This unfortunately doesn't do that.feedback
It would do far more harm than good.feedback
Mar 07 2017
It is about cutting care for lower-income people, seniors, people with disabilities and kids to pay for the tax cut.feedback
Feb 15 2017
I think we should be encouraged by the signal that the administration wants to stabilize the market. Right now, the greatest uncertainty is whether or not the individual mandate, which is the principal driver to help keep costs lower, is going to be enforced. Within the next month, insurers have to start submitting rates and deciding where they're going to participate. It's very hard to do that if you don't know the rules of the road. It's very hard to do that if you don't know how your competitors are interpreting the rules of the road.feedback
If the administration is serious about strengthening the [Obamacare] marketplace, they will reduce uncertainty and focus on keeping the marketplace stable and growing – not focus on changes that will raise deductibles, reduce access to physicians and put limitations on the ability for people to get coverage.feedback
Feb 15 2017
The administration has created a manufactured crisis with talk of repeal but no plan to replace, non-enforcement of the rules and reducing outreach around HealthCare.gov so fewer people would sign-up for coverage.feedback
Jan 31 2017
It would be good for consumers and smart for the risk pool for the administration to extend the deadline to ensure that all those people get the coverage they're seeking.feedback
Dec 08 2016
You've got specialty medications, which are going up by a large dollar amount, and you've got generic medications, which are going up by a large percentage amount.feedback
Dec 08 2016
What you end up with is a situation where... drug companies can take prices up without any check on them or any negotiation from the federal government.feedback
Dec 08 2016
I think what would result from that is job loss, and so forth.feedback
Dec 08 2016
Hospital CEOs and health plan CEOs have been saying privately, and are beginning to say publicly that, you know, they're really going to be in no position to continue to invest... as they move into 2018.feedback

Overall, there is significant growth in spending on prescription drugs, representing a significant burden. In 2015, total prescription drug costs were estimated to have been $457 billion, or 16.7 percent of personal health care spending. That is up from $367 billion, or 15.4 percent of personal health care spending in 2012.feedback

Half of the physician practices under 10 (doctors) will not be reporting at all.feedback
Oct 14 2016
Transforming something of this size is something we have focused on with great care.feedback
Oct 14 2016
This law and this regulation are going to need to evolve as medicine evolves.feedback
Oct 05 2016
After rebates, net Medicaid spending over this five-year period was approximately $797 million, reflecting a rebate of 13 percent.feedback
Oct 05 2016
This incorrect classification has financial consequences for the amount that federal and state governments spend because it reduces the amount of quarterly rebates Mylan owes for EpiPen.feedback
Ensuring access to high quality patient care is a top priority for us. We are concerned about reports that some organizations may be engaging in enrollment activities that put their profit margins ahead of their patients' needs. These actions can limit benefits for those who need them, potentially result in greater costs to patients, and ultimately increase the cost of [Obamacare] marketplace coverage for everyone.feedback
This progress is occurring while also helping more Americans get coverage, often for the first time.feedback

Past Events
TOD and Social Equity: An Agenda for Research and Action>>
Innovating the Green Economy >>
2008-2009 Speaker Series
In Honor of the 60th Anniversary of the Department of City & Regional Planning
- A conference sponsored by the University of California Transportation Center and the Center for Community Innovation at the UC Berkeley Institute for Urban and Regional Development, held at the David Brower Center in Berkeley.
- A conference sponsored by the U.S. Economic Development Administration and the Center for Community Innovation at the UC Berkeley Institute for Urban and Regional Development, held at the David Brower Center in Berkeley. MORE..
- East Bay Green Corridor Partnership – Presentation Downloads
Paul Davidoff Award Event
- This winter, CCI and the College of Environmental Design were proud to host a celebration for Professor Randy Hester and Jason Corburn for both winning the Paul Davidoff Awards. The Davidoff Award is presented by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning as one of the most prestigious honors in the academic planning field. It was established in 1981 to honor the memory of a revered and respected activist academic of city planning who was an unyielding force for justice and equity.
Conference on the Arts and Community >>
- Art and artists have come to be seen as catalysts for neighborhood change, both positive and negative. This symposium, sponsored by CCI jointly with UCB's Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies, will examine what creative venues mean for neighborhood identity and future from the perspective of community-based arts organizations, neighborhood advocates, funders, and the artists themselves. MORE...
Conference on Industrial Land Supply >>
Are We There Yet? Bay Area Transit-Oriented Communities and Mixed Incomes >>
- Many Bay Area cities are currently trying to decide how much of their industrial land supply to convert to residential and commercial uses. This symposium will help to coordinate the conversation going on in various municipalities by offering a macro perspective on the demand for industrial land. Key academic and professional planning experts will discuss the nature of industrial land demand in the 21st century economy, the emerging arrangement of land uses in California's mega-regions, green industry and building issues, and trends in residential development.
- Transit-oriented developments are fast becoming reality at major transit stations in the Bay Area. Along the BART system alone, eleven communities with stations have completed or approved TODs, and 25 projects are in planning or negotiation phases. Further, station-area planning based on MTC's new TOD policy, underway along several proposed transit extensions or stations, has increased at such a rapid pace that in many locations it may now be feasible to build-rate housing (along with the requisite replacement parking). This confluence of the market and policy is promising for infill development and for increasing transit ridership, both important smart growth goals. MORE...
Bridging Richmond and UC Berkeley: An Open Dinner Forum
- Who is Richmond? This is a question being asked by Shannon Flattery, artistic director of Touchable Stories and artist-in-residence at the Arts Research Center at UC Berkeley. It is the same question being asked at the Center for Community Innovation. Using very different methods, both are pursuing the same end: sustainable positive change for the current residents of the city of Richmond.
- Bridging Richmond and UC Berkeley brought together, around one table, Richmond residents, UC Berkeley faculty and students, artists and activists, urban planners, and architects to discuss Richmond's identity, history, and future. We heard stories from Richmond residents participating in the Touchable Stories project, the students and professional artists who are involved, and faculty and students doing research in Richmond. There was an open discussion on the city of Richmond as a site of development, art, activism, and research. We explored the common ground and contrasting perceptions that exist in Richmond and Berkeley. Touchable Stories has hosted several community potluck dinners in Richmond; this is the first to take place in Berkeley. The sharing of traditional dishes is encouraged. All are invited to take a seat at the table and join the conversation.
- This event is sponsored by the Arts Research Center and the Center for Community Innovation. Additional support for this project has been provided by the Walter & Elise Haas Fund, the Potrero Nuevo Fund, the Townsend Center for the Humanities, and the City of Richmond Art & Culture Commission.
The Bridge
The Bridge is a public art installation created by Shannon Flattery and a team of UC Berkeley students. Amidst a lush plantscape, visitors can listen to oral histories collected at Berkeley and in the city of Richmond. This work will become part of a larger installation opening in Richmond in Spring 2007.
- Shannon Flattery is the 2006–2007 Artist-in-Residence at the Arts Research Center at UC Berkeley and artistic director of Touchable Stories. Flattery is a multimedia artist and community activist who specializes in interactive, site-specific installations based on oral histories of marginalized communities. Since January, she has been exploring the communities and histories of Richmond, California, with a growing team of community members, local artists and activists, and UC Berkeley students and faculty.
Re-Viewing Richmond in Time and Place: Issues of Equiity and Inequity in a Regional Context >>
- The image of Richmond, California, is shaped mostly by press coverage of crime, gang activities, and drug dealing and to a lesser extent by that of plans to deal with problems and create opportunities from city hall and local community organizations. Other important topics are barely discussed. Also neglected are the ways culture is expressed in food, fashions, home décor, signs, and murals; and how the conditions inside public institutions such as Kennedy High School reinforce the regional inequalities of American cities. The Ford Foundation supported New York photographer and MacArthur Foundation fellow, Camilo José Vergara, to create a resource for re-visualizing the post-industrial city. The project lives at www.invinciblecities.com and features Richmond, CA, and Camden, NJ. At this symposium, Vergara presented his Richmond portfolio and others discuss the ways of seeing this place. A tour followed.
Equitable Development and Mixed-Income Communities: Understanding Best Practices and Scenarios >>
- The Richmond Equitable Development Initiative (REDI) is an effort led by a group of nonprofits sponsored by the Ford Foundation to spur equitable development, or redevelopment that improves the lives of existing residents. As part of this project, CCI started conducting research on the conditions under which equitable development can work and diverse neighborhoods and residents can prosper. We are using the findings from this study to create development scenarios for Richmond, identifying "at-risk" areas for gentrification. Together with Urban Habitat and UCSC's Center for Justice Tolerance and Community, we hosted a summit in August 2006, Equitable Development and Mixed-Income Communities: Understanding Best Practices and Scenarios, to inform REDI participants and other key actors about the best practices in creating equitable development and mixed-income communities. We looked first at mixed-income scenario building as a tool for regional equity and second at models of equitable development. We invited some of the key actors experienced in creating resident ownership mechanisms and equity-building opportunities – as well as their primary critics – to help us understand what works and where.
