Iowa City Police Officers Face Higher Health Costs
Iowa City will not grant a pay raise next year to police officers and asks them to cover more health insurance costs. The city counters a 4.5 percent raise requested by the Police Labor Relations Organization. The proposal raises out-of-pocket medical payments from 500 to 1500 and shifts more costs to the insurer beyond the deductible from 90/10 to 80/20.
