Jeanene Smith, M.D., administrator of the Office of Oregon Health Policy and Research, spoke at the Health Resources Commission on July 20, 2007. Dr. Smith completed HCFO-sponsored research that examined how benefit reductions and increased cost sharing impacted the Oregon Health Plan.
Edmund F. Haislmaier cited HCFO-sponsored research lead by Mark A. Hall, J.D., professor of law and public health at Wake Forest University, in the July 2007 Heritage Foundation article, “State Health Reform: How Pooling Arrangements Can Increase Small-Business Coverage.” The December 2000 Milbank Quarterly article, “Purchasing Cooperatives for Small Employers: Performance and Prospects,” co-authored by Hall, evaluates the primary and secondary effects of state health insurance market reforms.
