Meeting floor. But I think it’s the same answer that 50 and 50 doesn’t<br />
equal a hundred. We should be factual in what we say. Thank you.<br />

MR. LATIMER: Richard Latimer, Precinct 2, <strong>Town</strong> Meeting<br />
Member. Mr. Whritenour, maybe I’m wrong, but I thought when you<br />
started out and you showed us those bar graphs, I thought I saw a very<br />
significant increase in health insurance costs for this year. If I’m correct<br />
about that, to what was that increase attributable?<br />
MR. WHRITENOUR: With the self-insured program, what we<br />
pay are the exact costs to operate the program. So that is the inflation <strong>of</strong><br />
health care costs on Cape Cod.<br />
MR. LATIMER: Okay, and we have no control over that?<br />
MR. WHRITENOUR: No, we have no control over that rate,<br />
the costs <strong>of</strong> the services. If we weren’t in a self-insured pool, we’d be<br />
paying insurance companies and that rate <strong>of</strong> inflation would be even<br />
higher. Where we have control is in analyzing issues such as the<br />
programs that we <strong>of</strong>fer.<br />
on health insurance?<br />
MR. LATIMER: Thank you.<br />
THE MODERATOR: Ms. Palmer. No. Okay. Anything else<br />
Life Insurance? Medicare Benefits. Other Employees<br />
Benefits. And Court Judgments.
