2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2018 Phyllis Mary Parish-Bennett Health care task force looks to other states’ experience By CLAIRE WITHYCOMBE Capital Bureau SALEM — A legislative task force will look to three other states this week for information about how they regulate health care costs. The Joint Interim Task Force on Health Care Cost Review will hear testimony at its meeting on Friday from health care officials in Ver- mont, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The task force has already discussed Mary- land’s work on the issue in previous meetings, and has modeled its process off Maryland’s Health Services Cost Review Commission. “Consumers are feeling the pinch of rising health care costs,” according to a 2016 publication from the National Academy for State Health Policy, one of the materials for Friday’s meet- ing, that highlights the Mary- land, Vermont and Massa- chusetts systems. “Health care premium and out-of- pocket costs exceed both wage growth and inflation.” Beginning in the 1970s, Maryland regulators sought to limit increases in hospi- tal costs through an all-payer model.

Massachusetts and Ver- mont have also sought to limit health care cost increases, and officials from those states will pres- ent information about their systems. Task force members will also hear testimony about Pennsylvania’s Rural Health Model, where participating rural hospitals are paid with an all-payer model. The task force, created during the 2017 legisla- tive session, met for the first time in November. It’s led by Cameron Smith, head of the state’s Department of Con- sumer and Business Ser- vices, and includes members from the Legislature and the health care sector. The group is expected to submit a report on its find- ings by Sept. 15. Another legislative task force — created by legisla- tion in the recent short ses- sion — will study the issue of prescription drug pricing. Its first meeting has not been scheduled. The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group. ‘Health care premium and out-of- pocket costs exceed both wage growth and inflation.’ National Academy for State Health Policy and private insurers pay hos- pitals a fixed amount every year for inpatient and outpa- tient services, rather than on a fee-for-service basis. The amount is adjusted for qual- ity, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy. The idea is that hospi- tals, paid a predictable, fixed amount, are encouraged to improve the quality of care and provide preventative ser- vices. It’s also intended to mitigate cost increases for people on private insurance by increasing the amount that public health plans like Medicare pay. Detractors Cathryn L.

Kinder was born Nov. 30, 1946, in Astoria, Oregon, to Don and Jean Wilson. She grew up in the Gearhart and Seaside area, where she attended Gearhart Elementary and then Sea- side High School, where she graduated in 1965. Cathy went on to enroll at Clatsop Community College, and attended classes there for one year. Cathy married Ken Brown in June 1966; they later divorced. Cathy remarried in August 1980 to Gary Kinder. Cathy was employed for 12 years at the Clat- sop County Fairgrounds. Ten years were spent at the previous downtown location in Astoria, and two years once it moved to its current loca- tion. Her favorite part about the job was seeing the enjoyment of all the kids who attended. Cathy was athletic, and enjoyed playing a variety of sports. A testament to her abilities was when she received the trophy in her senior year at high school for Best Female Athlete. In that year, she set a new record for the long jump at Seaside. During one of the summer breaks, Cathy played in a fast-pitch softball league for the American Legion. It wasn’t long before talent scouts actively tried to recruit her to play pro- fessionally.
