Dillon Unveils Gov. Reform
to Save $900M in Health Care
State health care consolidation will slash costs, save jobs, preserve coverage
The State of Michigan faces a 2010 fiscal year deficit of more than $1.7 billion. Structural changes in public sector active and retiree health care benefits provide an opportunity to help the state address this budget deficit by reducing costs by an estimated $700 to $900 million per year.
Dillon’s health care reform plan will:
- Consolidate the planning, delivery and administration of health care for Michigan's public sector employees and retirees under the Office of the State Employer, increasing efficiency and enabling the state to obtain more competitive pricing in plans and prescription drugs.
- Standardize coverage to allow all public employees and retirees to choose from the same set of health care plans, which will be more closely aligned with those offered to public employees in other states and in Michigan's private sector.
- Ensure that all health care plans serving public sector employees and retirees follow best medical practices, which will increase patient safety and prevent unnecessary treatment.
