I just came back from Chris Correia’s inaugural forum with Don Ness of the City Council. Like many new ventures into the unknown there were a few technical glitches. I did learn one remarkable thing. The City of Duluth manages 150 health care plans. Each employee keeps the insurance plan they had when they retired. At most the Duluth School District only had six or seven plans to contend with. Its fewer now.
Consider how dense and complicated a single health insurance plan is then imagine having to know what 150 different plans offer in the way of benefits!
Don says he hopes the City whittles itself down to managing one or two plans. I wish him luck.
