Eels from overturned truck slime cars on Highway 101 Provider tax referral puts $333 million in play By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau Gooey hazard for drivers near Depoe Bay Associated Press DEPOE BAY — A truck hauling eels overturned on U.S. Highway 101 near Depoe Bay, turning the coastal road into a slimy mess. Oregon State Police on Thursday posted a photo on Twitter that showed damaged cars covered by the gooey eels. The agency also posed the question: “What to tell the #drycleaner?” Meanwhile, the Depoe Bay Fire Department posted a video of workers using a bull- dozer to clear the eels from Highway 101. Police said Salvatore Tra- gale was driving north with 13 containers holding 7,500 pounds of hagﬁ sh, which are Oregon State Police Eels slime a car on Highway 101 near Depoe Bay. commonly known as slime eels. As Tragale approached road construction and tried to stop, one container ﬂ ew off the truck bed and into the southbound lane, while the other containers spilled onto the highway, police said. The ﬂ ying container hit one vehicle which then caused it and four other vehi- cles to be pushed into each other. Police said the people in the vehicle hit by the con- tainer suffered minor injuries. No one else was injured. When hagﬁ sh become stressed, they secrete a slime, which can be seen in the pho- tos on the vehicles and on the highway, police said. The road reopened after the bulldozing and hosing it off was completed Thursday afternoon. SALEM — If a trio of Republican lawmakers is suc- cessful in referring a major state health care ﬁ nancing law to the ballot, at least $333 million in state revenue could be at stake. House Bill 2391 speciﬁ es how the state collects money to pay for the Oregon Health Plan, the state’s version of Medicaid, through assess- ments and taxes on health care providers. It’s expected to raise $605 million in revenue in the next two years, according to rev- enue impact estimates com- piled in mid-June by the non- partisan Legislative Revenue Ofﬁ ce. But a referral, which would freeze certain parts of the legislation from going into effect, could mean the state would not collect $333 million of expected revenues in the next two years, accord- ing to s tate Rep.

If voters approve the assessments and taxes in question, though, the money could be collected retroac- tively, Rayﬁ eld said. The parts of the legislation the group wants to refer are: • A 1.5 percent tax on pre- mium equivalents paid for public employee health plans to the Public Employees Beneﬁ t Board, which over- sees health beneﬁ t plans for some of the state’s public employees. • A tax on insurers — cal- culated as 1.5 percent of gross premiums earned. • A section of the law that says that insurers can increase premiums on policies by 1.5 percent. • A 1.5 percent tax on man- aged care organizations — also called c oordinated c are o rganizations, or CCOs — the networks of health care pro- viders who serve patients on the Oregon Health Plan. • A 0.7 percent “true tax” on net revenues of certain hospitals.

That amount of money couldn’t be leveraged to get a federal match, causing the state to forgo more money built into its upcoming bud- get, Rayﬁ eld said. Federal funds pay for most of the Medicaid program for traditional populations as well as people newly quali- ﬁ ed for Medicaid under the recent Affordable Care Act expansion. Three Republican state lawmakers — Rep. Julie Par- rish, R-Tualatin/West Linn; Rep. Cedric Hayden, R-Rose- burg; and Rep. Sal Esquivel, R-Medford — seek to refer certain parts of the measure to voters. They contest the legis- lation’s funding mechanism, saying that taxes on insurance premiums and a “true tax” on certain hospital net revenues will be passed to consumers. If the petitioners gather 58,789 signatures by Oct. 5, those parts of the legislation go to the ballot.
