NC Iowa | Unless it has changed since February, Iowa union employees pay $20 a month for their insurance. They probably think there is no problem with obamacsre.
Until last year, both union and non-union state employees generally paid no health insurance premiums. But that changed after Gov. Terry Branstad made the push that state employees should share the rising cost of health insurance.
Union employees now generally pay $20 a month, while non-union employees pay 20 percent of the health plan cost.
The state does give a $111-a-month health insurance premium discount for non-union employees who participate in a wellness program designed to prevent long-term illnesses. But Boal confirmed that lawmakers do not participate in that program. | |
