Kansas forms task force to study unified K-12 health plan
A new Kansas state task force will study a single state run high deductible health plan for all K-12 employees. The idea traces to a 2016 Alvarez and Marsal efficiency study which claimed potential savings up to 80 million dollars annually but faces union opposition. Lead negotiator David Reber warns reduced benefits would harm compensation for teachers. The group was created by a budget proviso to explore implementation and administration.
