It’s just a matter of what those changes will look like.
The State Employee Benefits Committee convened Monday to discuss potential increases for the tens of thousands of individuals on state health care plan.
While it did not approve any plan, many options remain on the table.
Gov. John Carney’s budget proposal called for shifting millions in costs onto government employees as part of a series of steps aimed at eliminating a large gap between projected revenue and spending.
The recommendations also suggested ending the double state share which allows couples who work for the state to essentially pay one premium for health care.
However, the governor left the specifics for saving $6.5 million up to the SEBC, which has the authority to change employee health care plans.
