    Rescue MI by capping government-class benefit costs | 10 comments (10 topical, 0 hidden)
    HB4275 (none / 0) (#1)
    by Tom McMillin on Fri Jun 19, 2009 at 10:42:21 PM EST
    HB4275 which is a bill I submitted earlier this year would require the 50,000 state employees to co-pay at least as much as the average of all 50 states' employees pay, which i estimate would save several hundred million dollars per year.  Currently, MI's state employees pay about 5% of their benefits, while nationally, state employees pay 23%.  I initially wanted to make the requirement equal to the average of the big 3, but during the bill writing process it appeared it was difficult to tie the state employees' pay to information from private contracts and plans...so the best answer was utilizing public employees' plans.
