Mandate 20 percent government employee health benefit contribution

Introduced in the House

Feb. 1, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Jeff Farrington (R-30)

To require government employees to contribute at least 20 percent toward the cost of individual health care insurance benefits provided by their employer, or 25 percent if the benefit is a family plan. The mandate would only kick in after an existing collective bargaining agreement granting richer benefits expired.
