State employees face higher health insurance costs in Kansas
Governor approved rate increases push premiums for family plans to 33.50 weekly and to 14 weekly for individuals, with a choice of three HMO and three PPO plans. The Kansas Health Care Commission, including Secretary Howard Fricke and Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, unanimously backed the rise amid efforts to curb costs. Officials cited higher payouts and potential HealthWave limitations for low income families, while KU and state offices brace for impact on staffing and budgets.
