Collaborating for Wellness Improvements and Health Care Savings: How do you keep health care costs to a minimum and not cut benefits?

 

Hear from the City of Chicago Labor Management Cooperation Committee (LMCC), consisting of representatives from the City of Chicago and about 20 unions with City labor contracts. The Chicago LMCC oversees health care coverage for approximately 35,000 union and non-union employees in a health plan that covers a total of 56,000 lives. Despite a change in City administrations and a challenging budget situation, the Committee has made major strides toward accomplishing its stated goals of holding the line on health care costs, maintaining a comprehensive health plan, and promoting wellness. Working collaboratively, the Committee has kept premium increases below 8 percent and have even added and improved benefits.
