Board to keep paying Leiker's health insurance quoting : marionrecord

Paying post-retirement health insurance benefits isn't standard practice for outgoing superintendents. "If I do something that provides health insurance, then certainly the district wouldn't cover that any more."Lange said the board is confident that Leiker's benefit won't be detrimental to the district over the long haul. According to board minutes, Schwab elected to take an early retirement incentive offered by the district in 2014 that included $200 per month for continuing health insurance. A salary and benefits survey released in February by AASA, The School Superintendent's Association, showed that just 1 in 4 superintendents have post-retirement health insurance paid for. Roger Schwab, Phoebe Janzen, and Marj Sandberg are former employees who remain under the district's health insurance plan with portions of their monthly premiums paid by the district, board clerk Kristi Mercer said.




GW offers the Student health insurance Plan through Aetna Student Health and costs $4,103 for the 2016-17 policy year. GW should start to reform its student health insurance plan by adopting the three-part proposal that will be recommended by the Care for GW initiative. It's time for GW's current student health insurance plan to have it's own check-up in order to reduce costs and better provide the care that students need. Without reforms to the student insurance plan, the prognosis is not good for healthcare at GW. The problem that can't be explained by the Affordable Care Act is why GW's student health insurance plan is proportionately more expensive when compared to equivalent plans at similar universities.

Bill would prohibit state health insurance plans from covering abortions

Bill would prohibit state health...MADISON, Wis. - State employees could not have abortions paid for by their health insurance under a bill debated at the Capitol on Wednesday. The author of the bill said state funds shouldn't cover abortions even though some officials said the only abortions covered are those considered medically necessary. The Assembly Health Committee heard testimony Wednesday on the bill that would prohibit the state's group insurance board from contracting with an insurance company to cover abortion services. "We are trying to prohibit the taxpayers from subsidizing abortions, for paying for abortions," said Rep. Andre Jacque, R-DePere. Three anti-abortion groups support the bill, but the Wisconsin medical Society and groups trying to end domestic abuse and sexual assault have lined up against it.
