County Considers Self-Insurance For Road and Bridge Liabilities
Franklin County Commission weighs self insurance to cover road and bridge liability after paying 132000 for premiums last April. A risk management fund may replace or supplement traditional coverage, with potential start capital around 400000 and possible growth to 1 million, while comparing with EPIRS pool options. Mental Health Center reports 1986 caseload rise amid layoffs and funding delays, totaling 647 cases and a 1987 contract preserving one mill of county taxes.

Elders Favor Tradeoffs to Fund Health Care Study Finds
Nearly 40 percent of Social Security recipients would accept benefit cuts to cover all medical costs for the elderly, with about four in ten willing to trade Social Security for nursing home care, home health services, or to keep seniors out of poverty. The Commonwealth Fund survey notes some measures are less familiar, and cites trust in Social Security driving openness to revisions. The study, conducted by Louis Harris and Associates for the Commonwealth Fund Commission on Elderly People Living Alone, covers 2314 people over 65.
