Developing Sustainable Healthcare Plans and Benefits for Public Employees
Blue Ribbon Commission on Public Employees Retirement Systems
In recent years, healthcare inflation has doubled the cost of health insurance in the commonwealth. While the magnitude of the increases has lessened in recent years, costs continue to rise. Increased life expectancy and lower employee to retiree ratios have had a significant impact on the cost of post employment benefits for employers across the nation, Kentucky included. This work group's goal is to develop a recommendation to provide sustainable employment and post employment health benefits for current and future public employees.
