commissioner fraser. >> i am dubious about the self funded epo. >> okay. >>i will tell you honesty -- i understand what essentially saying we want to be a free rider on the way kaiser is organized for most of the rest of book of business so in a self interested way maybe that the system will do that. i really worry that is a long-term bad idea for kaiser and also potentially a long-term bad idea for other kaiser members so i think that's a short term potential gain, could be a loss, so i'm dubious about that. i have no objection to having the information presented but i think it's important to think of these as policy implications in the long-term and not short term and not with rosy glasses on, not what is going to happen next year but moving from -- i believe most experts believe the payment model that tends to drive innovation and keep costs low which is more capitation and less fee for service is a worry some trend. >> any other thoughts on this? i'm noticing here you're not recommending the risk sharing option, so do we want to even have more informat

. >> just a comment on what commissioner fraser was saying and i would like -- [inaudible] fully insured, the flex funding. i have some references with the fully insured and might give impression to the members and assuming it comes out and lower everything else and this is what she's saying and short term and give impression to the members why didn't you go with this one, so i have reservations with fully insured but just one question for you when you bring all of the comparisons what data are you using? 2012 season or how many years of data are you bringing? >> well, as we did with the flex funded work for blue shield we would look at 36 months of data as current as we can get it. >> up to 2013? >> yeah, up to the end of the year. that would be our goal so we basically built the template for this for flex funded and if you go to the website the same analysis and side by sides that we presented before and i understand your opinions and i personally off the [inaudible] and maximize the trust for my client and specific and that's my optic and i understand that and i appreciate it very muc

topic but i want to talk about kaiser's communications or lack of communications and commissioner fraser i took your advice and found out the drchz of observation and hospitalization but i didn't find out from kaiser and they should tell people. the doctors didn't know what it was and i asked the billing department and everything. last year was challenging for the rothman household and i think kaiser was very insensitive. their billing office said one thing. they mail bills out and say another. we call up and say one thing. they still mail the bills out and the final and send it to the collection agency even though we kept writing back and i think there needs to be more communications between kaiser hospital and their billing department because i don't think one hand knows what the other hand is doing. >> thank you. come forward please. >> my name is diane erlick and i have a question about the self funded epo and similar to the current plan. does this mean for instance the paperwork for the individuals that have plan one have to do would fall on the individual -- would fall on us at kai

but following the mcgovern-fraser commission, the role of selecting was shifted to voters. primaries and caucuses start to matter, where individual voters can express their preferences for a candidate, and that culminates in the delegate selection at the national convention. so starting with the mcgovern-fraser commission, the democratic party really made numerous reforms to the process, and they tinkered with it almost every election up until the late 1980s. so the democratic party had no fewer than eight reform commissions starting in 1968. meanwhile, while all this is happening the republican party was very hands-off in the process, and did not become actively involved in reforming the presidential nomination process. one of the most recent activities by the republican party, however, is the creation of a temporary delegate selection committee in 2008. that reform the most recent nomination process. so my broader research agenda really looks at the rules set in place by the national parties and the effect of those rules. i wanted to take a step back from the project and

. >> commissioner fraser. >> thank you. i'm not sure when i would like to ask this, but i think it might be useful for the board and for our members to have a presentation that's a little bit more on the public health side but related to the importance of exercise and in particular a comparison of exercise to many medical treatments because there is fairly good evidence that 30 minutes a day is more effective than many of the medical treatments we're paying for and i think getting that information out is useful and i will take the burden on getting a speaker but i hope the board is interested in providing the information to the members. i think it's a great idea. any other suggestions for future agenda item? seeing none any public comment? item number 12 please. >> item 12 discussion item opportunity for the public to comment on any matters within the board's jurisdiction. >> you can comment on anything in our jurisdiction. >> dennis krueger active and retired firefighters. the other side of the coin i just want to thank th

commissioner fraser. >> i appreciate the differences but one thing you left out however is how the incentives work so once we move to a fee for service system there is no incentive for kaiser or any payer to keep utilization in that area down so i think we need to think long and hard before we go in the opposite direction of the rest of the world which is move away for fee for service and each of these with the guise of saving money and the except the fully insured hmo we are moving in a direction that awards more service so i want to caution this board that we have to think long and hard before we move away from a fully insured. >> thank you. >>i think that was a statement so i'm not going to say anything. fair? >> do you disagree? >> can i do this? ask can i. >> >> can i ask my colleague andrew and can you respond to that. >> i'm going to ask that you respond to it because i think it's a different issue and puts kaiser on the spot and that kaiser will do things differently. if you recommend a fee for service versus a decapitated what incentive does it give to the provider in those scenarios

with very little fanfare, yet ended up making many of the same changes that mcgovern fraser commission did. it did not go quite as far, but did open up the process significantly. and one reason is because -- that they were able to successful is there is this faction in the republican party, goldwater being the primitive or early example that basically says the establishment is against us and therefore the war we can open up the process to ordinary voters, the more we will succeed. the second thing is, i disagree with your comment that the 2012 reforms in work. it actually did significantly frontload the process. in the following sense that the process for the republicans in 2012 begins with eight weeks in which there is only a single or two primaries. the classic example, the kind of thing it allows, newt gingrich unexpectedly wins south carolina primary and for a couple of days is in the lead nationally in all the polls. romney is able to come back because the next primary is in for another like 10 days or something like that. it is interesting to note that in previous years, the sout
