TRENTON ? New Jersey?s largest public worker union says the benefit reform legislation being pushed by the Legislature?s top Democrat is worse for employees than advertised because it assumes health care costs won?t rise in coming years.
Union leader Hetty Rosenstein calls Senate President Stephen Sweeney?s health benefits overhaul plan ?bad numbers that expose his bad policy.?
Sweeney?s proposal would require public workers to pay a percentage of their health care premiums based on how much they earn. For example, a worker earning $70,000 would pay $4,180 for family coverage after a four-year phase-in.
Rosenstein said Monday that a worker would pay $1,100 more than Sweeney claims if health care costs rise 6 percent a year.
Sweeney says employees will get more health insurance options and that some will cost less.
