URBANA — City officials say Urbana's flat refusal to pay higher health insurance rates for employee coverage is paying off again.With employer group rates expected to rise about 6 percent next year nationally and more locally, the cost of health insurance for the city of Urbana's approximately 250 employees and their dependents will drop 11.5 percent next year.The savings are coming courtesy of a new Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois PPO plan for 2017, city officials said.
