BURGERVILLE BEATS TRIMESS ON HEALTH INSURANCE

What a world we live in. In Amerika 1/2 the people that ride our buses-do not work at all-GET FULLY COVERED COMPLETE COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL FOR ZERO!

But the workers of Amerika, we get ripped off and HAVE TO PAY TO GET RIPPED OFF.
BURGERVILLE GIVES BETTER INSURANCE THAN THAN TRIMESS.
 Its move to pay more health-care costs began with a 2005 employee survey, in which health costs unexpectedly registered as the top concern. At the time, Burgerville offered limited coverage to hourly employees, who had to pay premiums of roughly $42 a month for an individual and $105 a month for a family, plus annual deductibles of up to $1,000.
Only about 3% of Burgerville's hourly workers were enrolled, said Chief Executive Jeff Harvey. Low enrollment in health plans is common among restaurants, where operators typically don't spend enough on insurance to keep employee premiums affordable, said Victor Fernandez, a senior analyst for People Report.
In absorbing more of the costs, Burgerville's annual health-care bill nearly doubled, to $4.1 million from $2.1 million. But company leaders figured the move would boost recruiting and retention.
Under Burgerville's plan, individual hourly workers can enroll in a health-maintenance organization for $15 a month, with no deductible. A worker and spouse pay $30 monthly; family plans cost $90. Salaried employees, whose plans didn't change significantly, pay $84 a month for individual and $240 monthly for family coverage, and have an annual deductible of $500.

How much of a refund is Tri-Met going to get from Blue Cross because of the new health care law? Has anybody figured that in to their calculations? Should lower Tri-Met's current and future costs.

The arbitrator himself questioned how Trimet thinks its going to collect on what it thinks it's due.

The BV plan (as you underlined) is for an HMO (aka Keiser); so I think TriMet still has them beat, even with the new contract.
