State budget

2001-2010

The rate of spending growth over the last decade averaged 7.5% per year, but inflation (Anchorage CPI) over the last decade averaged

  • nly 2.6% per year.

revenue

Where does our current path lead?

State expenses may exceed revenue sometime in the next decade.

  • DOR oil price projections 2012 - 2020: $95 to $116
  • 2001 - 2010 oil prices: low $15.46; high $144.59; avg. $54

We have a revenue problem and an expense problem.

Health care is a big part of the expense problem.

Where does our current path lead?

If state paid health costs continue to increase at 8.7% per year, in FY 2020 they will exceed $4 billion (before Medicaid reimbursement).

If current growth rates continue, health care expenses will consume an increasingly large and unsustainable portion of the state's general fund budget.

AlaskaCare health plan

Includes the active plan (non-unionized employees and some bargaining units) and retiree plan Plan statistics:

Active plan 15,795 members (includes dependents) $83,350,793 total spend in FY11 Ability to change plan and impact steerage Retiree plan 63,034 members, about 40% live outside Alaska $413,524,583 total spend in FY11 Limited ability to impact steerage

What can we do to help put the state's health care spend on a sustainable path?

  • Better leverage our purchasing power
  • Consider expanded travel benefits or

Centers of Excellence for certain services

  • Develop a robust employee wellness

program

  • Continue to aggressively pursue

contractual discounts

  • Align contracting strategies around

innovative care delivery models
