Iowa council weighs 6.7 percent rise in state health costs
Iowa Executive Council members consider extending Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage for about 32,000 state employees through 2018 with a 6.7 percent premium increase. The plan raises state spending to about 463.8 million for the state share, while employees would pay roughly 20.8 million. The change reflects new bargaining terms with AFSCME and wellness program options.
