Lenawee County government officials are to begin meeting this week with a health insurance envoy to look for ways to hold down costs that are planned to jump more than 14 percent on May 1. "It's a problem for not only the county but the nation," said Ralph Tillotson, R-Adrian Twp., chairman of the county commission’s ways and means group. Rising health care costs are the biggest subject in the United States after the Iraq War, he said.
Health insurance costs for Lenawee County government are going up at rate equivalent to $1,164 a year for each of the 512 county employees enclosed under its Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, he said. The increase will append a total of $250,000 to the budget from May 1 to Dec. 31 this year.
