I spoke up about this and other issues about this bill as well. I also hope it works out for us. I believe that a lot of people are going to be disappointed in the actual out come. Transpariency maybe, lower health cost for anyone I do not believe is going to happen. I do agree with Dawna. I spoke up about this and other issues about this bill as well.

I like the transparency part of this and what will happen if districts and Insurance companies don't comply. Long over due. Be looking forward to more info as it comes available.

I just really want all the membership to know that lowering healthcare coverage costs for part time workers and family coverage to this one to three ratio comes at a cost to those who are single insureds. Nothing ever seems to be said about this? None of the mailings I received mentioned increased premiums for those that only insure themselves? It always looks like we are talking about lowering costs for families but its never mentioned who will be picking up those costs? It affects single insureds in the pocket book and they should know it. I would love to hear from other people insuring only themselves. If I am the only one out here feeling like this is unfair then please let me hear it from others that are in the same boat as me. I know those of you that want to pay less are going to tell me to just buck up and pay more but I want to hear it from people in my shoes. People who will take a pay cut so part time people can insure their entire family for less. Please respond and be heard or stay silent and I will assume I am the only one in opposition.

You do such a tremendous job in identifying our issues and pushing these issues through with guts and determination. Thank you seems inadequate for all the work that you do.
