State Employees Health Insurance (the changes are ridiculous)

Enrollment is coming up and all the attention has been about paying more and get fewer coverages. For all you state workers, what plan are you leaning towards and why?

What do you mean? A current state worker (traditional family, wife, 2 kids) pays $380 a month in premiums. Then you have deductibles and co-pays. How is that "a ride"?

Because the actual cost of that policy is $10k to $12k per year.

these are employees, not welfare grabbers you dolt. one day when you get a job you will want your employer to pay for health insurance

Is your former plan not subsidized by the state?

I pay my own health insurance.

You aren't going to get a lot of commiseration on the OT. There's a very misinformed, anti-state worker sentiment on this board.
I'm pretty bummed about how drastic the changes are, but like all the other changes, me and my family will just roll with it as best we can.
Gonna go with the plan that's comparable to my current coverage and see how it hits the finances for a year.

Basically we are paying more for less. If you aren't a state employee affected by this then don't act like you know what is going on. Im a LSU hospital employee and our supervisors are telling us to change to the LSU first plan.

Exactly. We are all paying more for less. Most of us realized this last year.

you think our insurance doesn't go up?
you think the coverage doesn't go down?
fact is that after the changes go into effect you still have better plan options than 90% of the workforce

How much do you pay a month in premiums? And is this just for individual or family?

Dude, I pay over $500 a month for myself and $600 a month for just the wife. I'm retired. Get a real job.

fishfighter, what did you retire from? Also, I thought I had a "real job".

I love how you act like the state is the only employer that offers an employer contribution to health insurance benefit. Would you rather the state just pay everyone higher waged in lieu of lower cost health insurance?

Our rates went up last year. The plans changed too.

I'd rather they get rid of about half the positions then look at paying market wages and market benefits.
Louisiana has one of the largest state governments when compared to the number of residents
