URGENT CALL TO ACTION ON YOUR STATE HEALTH BENEFITS!

The Public Employees Benefits Board this Wednesday is considering dramatic changes to your health benefits that would see office visit co-pays skyrocket and first-ever deductibles for plans like Group Health.

We need to demonstrate how much our members object to the proposed health insurance increases. Please spread the word and plan to attend if you can!
  • What: Urgent Call to Action - Wear your WFSE Green!
  • When: Wednesday, July 8, 12:30 p.m.
  • Where: Sundial on Capitol Campus (south side of the Capitol, between Cherberg and O’Brien Buildings).
  • Why: The PEBB is meeting from 1-3 p.m. in the Columbia Room in the Capitol to discuss proposed changes to state employee health insurance plans. (See June 26 Hotline message at wfse.org for full details.) These changes include dramatic increases to deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket expenses. Take a look...it's shocking.
  • Questions: Contact Diana Whitmore at WFSE HQ, 1-800-562-6002.
