State employees protest proposed health insurance changes

“Shifting these additional costs onto the backs of state workers who have sacrificed greatly, and given back consistently throughout the fiscal crisis, is not the answer,” wrote David Holway, president the National Association of Government Employees, in a letter to House Speaker Robert DeLeo, D-Winthrop, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Brian Dempsey, D-Haverhill.

The budget Baker, a Republican, proposed on Wednesday counts on saving the state $125 million from changes made through the Group Insurance Commission, the organization that provides health insurance for state and municipal employees and retirees.
