Oregon could cut the offered payment to the Ins co & take the "risk" on itself It would simply structure a max claims per dollar received by the company - say 97% - rather than today's 60 to 75% - and say it would reimbursed for claims over that level - while at the same time demanding a refund of the part of the payment when claims were below 95% of the payment so as to bring the ratio up to 95%.
In effect the above would change the plan into single payer universal health.
