I know that may are concerned that the Health Care Reform bill seems to be progressing through the Congress. We do not know what, if any, impact this bill might have on LEOFF 1 medical benefits. I have discussed this issue with Mike Germann, the Secretary of the Seattle Police Pension Board.
He does not anticipate it will have any impact. He says that our medical payment practices are set in state law and established court proceedings. Those guidelines will not change.
So, for the time being, it is probably not necessary to be concerned. Still in this volitle political climate it is wise to continue to track these changes and assess their potential impact. We will continue to keep a close eye on these issues.
