The county is weighing changes to employee health benefits after HealthChoice premiums jumped nearly 19%, including a 16% increase on the high plan most employees carry. The proposal would raise the FSA contribution from $500 to $750 to nudge employees toward the basic plan, boost the HSA from $1,500 to $2,000 to match a higher deductible, and increase spouse/dependent support from $3,600 to $4,260. It failed this meeting and returns October 5.
