I don't think it qualifies as a victory until we see the bill, but Senator Sweeney and Speaker Oliver have announced they will act to repeal their own "Section 76" language that would have blocked state employees from using their own health insurance at out-of-state hospitals:
Under the new legislation, the entirety of Section 76 of the pending pensions and health benefits reform legislation (S-2937/A-4133) would be repealed. It would be replaced by language that would direct the new health care boards to create insurance plans that would specifically include only in-state providers, and other plans that would include coverage for out-of-state providers. No employee would be forced to choose the in-state option.
Very much a poor compromise in my opinion but certainly an improvement. |
