est Virginia's House of Delegates faces a momentous decision after Speaker Rick Thompson departs for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Cabinet: choosing a new leader will help set the stage for 2014, when Republicans aim to wipe out the Democrats' ebbing majority.
CHARLESTON (AP) — Those in West Virginia insured by
the Public Employees Insurance Agency won't pay higher health insurance
premiums and won't have any reductions in benefits in 2013.
The
PEIA Finance Board on Thursday approved a 2013-14 benefit plan without a
proposed increase in out-of-pocket maximum co-payments for family
coverage. Officials also voted to keep drug co-payment rates the same.
Media
outlets report that officials planned to recommend an increase in some
employees' maximum out-of-pocket expenses in the budget year that starts
next summer, but Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's office notified the agency
before the meeting that the agency would receive an additional $4
million in funding next year to prevent those costs from increasing.
With the changes approved Thursday, it will effectively be a one-year continuation of the current benefits plan.
