BLS: How have health benefits changed in state and local governments from 1998 to 2011?

  • “Health insurance coverage for state and local government employees has undergone significant changes over the past decade. Although state and local governments still provide comprehensive coverage to most employees, the total percentage of employees who are covered by insurance has declined. In addition, a higher proportion of health care costs have shifted to employees, and a larger percentage of employees are now enrolled in contributory plans that require employees to pay premiums. Coverage for benefits has also changed; more employees have restricted health plans or plans with limited coverage, requiring them to pay deductibles or coinsurance. This issue of Beyond the Numbers looks at changes in health care plan participant provisions for state and local government employees in 1998 and 2011.”
