Side by Side (Active Employees)

NOTE: Click on the table above to make them clearer.

The new health insurance premiums for 2027 are now published. General price inflation is running in the 3-4% range, but these premiums are increasing way more than that. 

UC premiums for active employees are set according to four salary ranges. If you were in the top salary tier (Tier 4 above) and bought the most expensive plan for a family (UC Care), your premium would rise 9.5%. If you were in the lowest salary tier (Tier 1) above and bought the cheapest plan for singles (HealthSavings+), your premium would rise by 29.3%. Enough said.
