Legislature Considers Self-Insurance Plan in Kansas
In Topeka the Senate Ways and Means Committee heard a bill to create a state self-insurance program for state employees, replacing Blue Cross Blue Shield. Supporters cite rising costs, with total health care spending projected from 10.2 million in 1977 to 22.5 million this year and an estimated 36 million in the next fiscal year. The plan would use KPERS funds to start, with an interim study planned to assess potential effects on BCBS and costs for Kansans.
