Court Victory for Health Insurance Carriers

NOTE: Hat tip to SUAA, one of the finest sources of real-time information on issues pertaining to state employee benefits. And membership is only $20 per year!

The State of Illinois lost its case in a unanimous ruling favoring Health Alliance and other carriers who protested the policy change by Quinn's administration. Read the State Journal-Register story.

PENSION UPDATE: Hug Your Local Legislator!

I just heard from Mike Bost and he is voting a strong NO! on SB 512.

FYI: I will blog soon on the tremendous efforts of the SUAA (State Universities Annuitants Association). Led by Tom Welch and Linda Brookhart (who helps me answer your questions), they are dedicated to this one issue. Please join them (it's approx. $30/year). A worthy investment.

Go to suaa.org and check out the information.

PS: Seems the bill is getting a lot of opposition!!
