Extraction (of 2020 health cost info)

Open enrollment is approaching on October 31. As we have noted, to make choices and decisions, you need cost/premium information for the various plans being offered in 2020. The plan costs for active employees was posted online a couple of days ago. (Why the delay? Surely the rates were negotiated some time back.)

The links - I have to say - are not easy to find. Getting the info was like pulling teeth. So, to spare you the time, I have extracted the info below:

If you are an active employee, you can find cost/premium info at:
https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/compensation-and-benefits/health-plans/medical/employee-plan-costs-2020.html

And if you are retired, the link is at:
https://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/compensation-and-benefits/health-plans/medical/retiree-plan-costs-2020.html 

For many emeriti and retirees, however, the rates at that link will not apply. The info on the link says that the info those folks will need will be on UCRAYS but not until October 31. (Again, surely the info is available somewhere in the depths of the UC administration now.) Of course, as our previous posting indicated, UCRAYS may or may not function.
