The most unbelievable part of Michael Steele's RNC health insurance policy scandal is that they have had the same carrier since 1991. How many companies can keep the same policy for 18 years?
There's something fishy here.... RNC has the same insurance policy since 1991? Unbelievable!
At our company, we change insurance policies almost every year since we bid it out to try and control costs. Our United Health policy has a 26% increase in premiums for the upcoming year. Our HR bid it out to two other companies and they both ended up with about the same rate.
I find it unbelievable that the RNC can have the same health insurance for 18 years! Are they getting a deal from Cigna? I would be interested in what their premiums are? How often are they getting premium increases? Do they have the "Cadillac Plans" we keep hearing about?
There's more there to this story that needs to be investigated. Congrats to Politico for a job well done--so far.
