New York Law Could Sink Towns with Health Insurance Costs
Categories: Government employees, New York
The Empire Center for New York State Policy warns that local governments in New York could be swamped by health care costs for their employees, if proposed legislation is enacted:
It says "The bill would make it virtually impossible for state and local government employers to contain the growing costs of health insurance for their retired employees. It would give unions representing current employees veto power over any change to retiree benefits--even if an employer found a way to offer identical benefits for less money."
