Panel recommends steps by Oregon lawmakers to rein in rising health care costs
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) A committee led by policy experts, citizens and stakeholders took steps Tuesday that they say will help put Oregon on a path to keep health care costs in check.
The Implementation Committee for Oregon’s Sustainable Health Care Cost Growth Target Program adopted recommendations to the Legislature to inform actionable strategies to make it easier to understand what is driving up costs and how to address this problem.
The Committee envisions a process to ensure that health care costs are contained in the public and private sector with accountability mechanisms for health care entities. Oregon is only the second state in the nation to pass health care cost growth target legislation and the fourth to adopt such a program.
