Legislative
Notes
By Delegate Mary P. Compton
As we progress further into this
year's legislative session, we are
constantly reminded of the tough
road we have before us. For what
many are predicting to be a very
active session, the overall consensus
remains that the 74th. Legislature
will be one of the busiest we've seen
in years.
With all of the recent publicity
surrounding the Public Employees
Insurance Agency (PEIA), many
legislators have noted PEIA as the
"biggest budget priority" for this
year. I can assure you that this issue
will play a vital role in the 1999
Legislative Session, making it
crucial for lawmakers to keep the
public informed of what measures
need to be addressed these next
couple of months.
Like many of you, I too, am
extremely concerned about the
future of PEI We must gather as
much information as possible in
order to educate others and
collectively find some way to deal
with this problem. We cannot ignore
the fact that many citizens across
the state have voiced their concerns
over the past few weeks on the
future status of PEIA.
Just last month, the Public
Employees Insurance Agency's
Finance Board adopted a plan to
reduce its cost by $54 million in the
1999-2000 budget year, primarily
through higher co-payments and
deductibles. The plan also restricts
patient access to out-of-state
providers.
Due to this action, many
representatives of the West Virginia
Education Association, WV Troopers
Association, public employees and
medical group strongly objected to
the financial burdens that this new
plan could possibly have on
employees and their access to
needed medications and medical
care.
With this in mind, I cannot stress
. hew im4mrtat it is to urge PEIA to
work with family physicians in order
to implement other more cost
effective programs. To my
knowledge, many physicians also
have effective programs. To my
knowledge, many physicians also
have been urging members of PEIA
not to adopt plans that do not allow
doctors to use their best medical
judgement in patient treatment.
We must carefully consider and
weight each of these proposals in
order to find the best possible
solution. .
It is quite evident that something
must be done to %here up this
financially unstable agency."
However, there is not a "quick fix"
to this problem. We must proceed
with caution and with careful
planning in order to eliminate this
problem for good. Therefore, the
leadership has selected a committee
of both delegates and senator8 to
solely adhere to our concerns dealing
