 Our mayor of San Antonio that is very involved in this campaign, Enroll SA, our goal in the city through the city government is to enroll at least 20,000 people from San Antonio in this campaign until the 31st of March that is the deadline. So please help me to give him a very warm welcome to our mayor Julián Castro. Buenos dias. Good morning. Well first I'm Julián Castro. The guy that looks like me over here is my brother Joaquin. You can tell which one of us might go to the rodeo today. I want to begin by thanking, let's give a big thank you to Winivision for sponsoring this event. Thank you Monica and everyone at Winivision. I also want to thank County Judge Nelson Wolf and Congressman Gallego and of course my brother Joaquin and Cecilia Munoz, the director of White House Policy. And thank all of you for being here. This is important today because we're coming upon an important deadline of March 31st to get our families insured for healthcare coverage. You know Joaquin and I grew up mostly with our mother and our grandmother and our grandmother for as long as we could remember had diabetes like a lot of people in our community. And she had to go get treatment for that diabetes throughout her life. And we remember when we were little kids going with her to doctor appointment after doctor appointment. We remember the injections that she would have to take because she had diabetes. And she passed away right before we graduated from college when we were 21 years old. And I remember thinking back then how tough it is on so many people in our community because of the afflictions they have whether it's diabetes or hypertension or whatever it is. But how lucky we were that she actually had Medicare at that time and she could get coverage. We want every single person in our community to have healthcare coverage whether they're two years old or 85 years old. And so we want you to take advantage of the opportunity with the people who are here today to help you and your family get covered. And also please before March 31st call your friends, call your neighbors, call your relatives, your family and let them know how important it is to get healthcare coverage and now they can actually afford it. So thank you for being here. We'll be here until three o'clock. Please get covered. And with that I'd like to introduce the better looking Castro Joaquin. Good morning. How's everybody doing? Good. Well thank you for being here this morning. It's wonderful to be at an event to get out information about the Affordable Care Act. And thank you first of all to all of the volunteers who are here to help today. We appreciate your help this morning as we get out information to the people of San Antonio. As Leon mentioned, in Texas we have the highest percentage of people, both adults and children, who have absolutely no healthcare coverage. So that has been hurtful to the community when people need to see a doctor. Oftentimes they can't. They often go to the emergency room to get coverage and the Affordable Care Act is going to help ease that. It's going to help make sure that people can get healthcare coverage, that they can afford it and so today is an effort to get the word out about it. It's my special honor this morning to introduce Cecilia Muñoz. She is the President's Domestic Policy Advisor. She's the top advisor for domestic policy on issues like healthcare, education, immigration, all the domestic policy that you can imagine. And she wanted to come down today to see what we're doing and we hope that this kind of event where we have so many community organizations working together will become a model not only for Texas but that she can go back to Washington D.C. and into the President's office and let them know how in San Antonio we're working together to make sure people know about the Affordable Care Act. So please help me give a San Antonio welcome to our good friend Cecilia Muñoz. Thank you so much. Buenos dias. Que gusto estar en San Antonio esta mañana. It is so wonderful to be in San Antonio. I thank the mayor and the congressman, the congressman and the judge en un visión for this event. Gracias a todos organizaron este evento porque este es el producto de mucho trabajo para ustedes. There are a lot of people who have worked a long time to make sure that this community can get access to healthcare. President Obama is one of those people but there are a lot of others in this room and all around the country who have fought for a long time. During that fight, the picture they had in their head was you and you coming forward and getting coverage and getting care. Hay muchos que lucharon muchos años para asegurar que esta comunidad podía aprovechar de servicios de salud. Y este es el momento ya llegado en que nos podemos inscribir para cobertura. We can finally, finally apply for coverage and the coverage is affordable. La cobertura es al alcance. Sabemos que la mayoría de las personas que carecen de seguro van a poder obtenerlo por menos de 100 dólares al mes. The majority of un insured people in this country are going to be able to get coverage for less than 100 dollars a month. That's a big deal but it only matters if we sign up, right? Tenemos oportunidad pero tenemos que aparecer para inscribirnos. Es por eso que este evento es tan importante y es también importante que ustedes también hablan con sus vecinos, con sus primos, con sus padres, con sus hijos, con sus abuelos. Para asegurar que ellos también aprovechan la oportunidad de inscribirse antes del 31 de marzo. So we need to make sure that we take advantage of this opportunity to get covered by talking to our neighbors, to our friends, to our coworkers, to our parents, to our children, to our grandparents to make sure they know that we have the opportunity to enroll until March 31st and that the coverage is affordable. So I am so grateful to all of the people who work so hard to bring all of you here today to all the people who are going to be working so hard to help people enroll. And I'm grateful to all of you for making sure that we reach every corner of this community because this is an incredibly important moment for all of us and people have fought for a long time to get to this day and to tomorrow when folks will be able to get regular care. So thank you to the leaders who are here, thank you to the members of the community who are here. Thank you and a vision for helping organize this event. And I just say I bring you greetings from President Obama. This is what he fought for, was for you. And I'm just so grateful to be able to be part of this today. Muchísimas gracias a todos. Muchísimas gracias a la señora Silia Muñoz por estar aquí. Ella es la directora del Consejo de Políticas Nacionales de la Casa Blanca. Y que vamos a darle un fuerte aplauso que ella se tomó el tiempo de estar aquí con un edición y con todos ustedes para hablar de la importancia, de la importancia que es tener un seguro médico. Como dijo el alcalde, muchas veces nosotros como latinos podemos tener enfermedades crónicas como en la diabetes. Sabemos que los tratamientos son sumamente caros y 12% de nuestra población aquí en San Antonio no tiene cobertura médica. Ahorita es la oportunidad y también porque las personas que no tengan seguro médico van a tener es algo obligatorio que el gobierno del presidente Obama está pidiendo a toda la población. Y entre más personas estén aseguradas va a ser menor el costo. Y como dicen, hay asistencia financiera, hay un crédito tributario que es lo que incluye en esta reforma de salud. También es muy importante que vamos a tener aquí a las personas de Vita que les van a explicar a cada uno cómo pueden ustedes hacer su reporte de ingresos personales el income tax return porque el año que entra va a estar incluido el nuestro reembolso de ingresos personales de los impuestos el programa de ACA o Obamacare. Entonces ahí van a estar representantes también para que ustedes tomen toda la información y por eso están aquí nuestros representantes oficiales del gobierno para explicarnos y que ustedes obtengan toda la información necesaria para que ustedes deciden qué tipo de seguro les conviene a cada uno de ustedes. Además vamos a tener personas del programa CHIP que es el Seguro Médico para los Niños. Y ahora es un honor para mí presentar a una persona muy querida por la comunidad de Texas nuestro representante Pete Gallego. Es una historia que particularmente todos nosotros entendemos de salud. Así es que muy bien he dicho que sin salud voy a tener que cuidar. Así es que hoy empezamos y hoy sabemos que vemos salud y por eso tratamos de mejorar la dificultad. Aquí el Estado de los Obos ha hecho mucho para la comunidad de San Antonio. Se ha defendido a muchos de las mares que han estado de asesinar como miembro de la Constitución de la Constitución de la Constitución como ahora puede por favor dejar. Y me da un susto de la Constitución como ahora para que la comunidad de San Antonio para los pueblos de la ciudad de los pueblos. Monica Naval y Melina Sanchez and our great friends at Univision. Gracias por su apoyo. Gracias. Julian Castro and Congressman Joaquín Castro and Congressman Pete Gallego thank you for standing up for the citizens of San Antonio that desperately need health care. Thank you for your great great leadership. Bear County is doing everything we can do to help Aurora Sanchez is here this morning who leads our effort. George Hernandez who's president of the Bear County Hospital District is coordinating a lot of the efforts today and we're reaching thousands of people. Just yesterday in our digital library on the south side of San Antonio just a small library 4,000 square feet. We had record attendance yesterday 615 people came in to our library just yesterday. Many of them wanted to sign up and have the opportunity to have health insurance. This is like a football game. Time runs out March 31st. We started a little slow in the first quarter. Things didn't go as good as we thought they should go. But now we're entering that fourth quarter and we're running up the points and we're going to win this great game and we're going to give everybody an opportunity to have health insurance. Thank you.
