Thousands of current and retired state workers would see their health-care premium rates decrease under a plan promoted Monday by the Jindal administration. The move would save money for state workers, retirees, school systems and state government.
Commissioner of Administration Paul Rainwater said a 7 percent decrease in premium cost for plan members will go into effect Jan. 1.
Rainwater said there will be a decrease in state contributions, which will be included in the amendments proposed Tuesday for the governor’s $25.5 billion state spending plan for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
