Purpose of This Web Site
The LAO's retiree health Web site features noteworthy items concerning public sector retiree health
benefits and costs across the country. The site features articles, commentaries, and reports describing
retiree health issues and policy actions for each type of government (states, school districts, cities,
and counties, etc.). We will emphasize California governments on the Web site, but we will also feature
articles and reports concerning major governments in other states in order to show the variety of reactions
and responses to the retiree health issue. The purpose of the Web site is to provide policy makers, the
public, researchers, and the media with a sampling of information about how governments are responding to
this issue across the country.
