It's wrong - tell the PEBB no way!
Tell PEBB no way to huge hikes in our health care costs! We’ve sacrificed more than $1 billion in funding for pay raises, benefits, pensions and jobs.
- State employees are already (on average) 13% behind. State employees lag behind counterparts in other parts of the economy. Increasing our health costs will put us farther and farther behind. The economy will recover, but with these huge cuts, it will be hard for us to make up this lost ground.
- The PEBB proposal goes too far!
It’s wrong to impose deductibles where they didn’t exist before.
It’s wrong to jack up office visit co-pays.
It’s wrong to impose higher out-of-pocket expense limits.
- The PEBB needs to go back and come up with a sensible plan.
We need a design plan that recognizes the sacrifices we’ve already made and that respects the economic well being of our families.
- Can’t attend the meeting?
You can still tell them what you think about the increases. Call the PEBB at 360-923-2600; or email the PEBB at board@hca.wa.gov.
