Horizon’s Omnia plan, a clear threat to good urban hospitals, needs an overhaul | Editorial
From the Newark Star-Ledger, October 12, 2015
New Jersey’s dominant health insurance company, Horizon, is about to revamp the state’s hospital system, all on its own, following a secretive new formula it devised behind closed doors.
Not surprisingly, the plan has deep flaws and needs an overhaul. If it is put into effect as drafted, several of the state’s best hospitals will be crippled or forced to close. And these vulnerable hospitals tend to serve the state’s most vulnerable populations in New Jersey’s poor cities. Catholic hospitals, in particular, would face potential ruin.
“You’re punishing hospitals, through no fault of their own, even those ranked as having great quality, great outcomes, and high patient satisfaction,” Sen. Joe Vitale, the legislature’s top health care expert, told Horizon’s CEO at a packed hearing on Monday.
