Opinion: ‘Many Options’ for Curbing Retiree Health Costs
In a Sacramento Bee opinion piece, Adam Tatum -- a senior research analyst at California Common Sense -- and Andrew Crutchfield -- a research analyst at the organization -- argue that California "has many options available" to address retiree health care costs. They write, "Prefunding, buyouts and benefit reductions can all successfully reduce the state's retiree health care costs," adding, "But every year California waits before addressing the issue, costs rise and the problem becomes more difficult to solve."
