Health insurance premiums edge higher with single coverage rising to 259.94 monthly and family plans to 793.86. Experts cite aging, technology, drugs, regulations, and care costs as drivers while firms debate deductibles and wellness benefits.
Business owners including Palmer Manufacturing Scheppner's and Keller Leopold describe rising premiums and deductibles, with self insured groups through Blue Cross Blue Shield. They cite higher costs, 80/20 co insurance, and larger out of pocket expenses, noting difficulties retaining staff and balancing benefits with profits while calling for policy fixes.
Garden City officials review changes to the health plan as they seek cost control. Mayor Whitham cites competitiveness with other employers while stressing the need to avoid overpaying. The council considers lowering drug costs, limiting counseling expenses, and raising employee premiums while weighing a 50 cent hourly raise against true savings for taxpayers.
