Changes recommended for NU Health Plan
The University of Nebraska health care plan is self-supported, and it needs a check-up if it wants to remain well. On Monday, UNMC employees heard some of the possibilities that lie ahead for the plan.
David Lechner, vice president for business and finance at the University of Nebraska, explained that health-care plan expenses have gone from $38 million in 1994 to $58 million in 2001. Meantime, revenues have fallen below expenses each year since 1996, lowering NU’s health-care trust fund from $28 million in 1996 to $13 million in 2001.
