[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way it works is the contract is up and they go out to bid.  If your existing healthcare didn’t put up a competitive bid, they switch to another company.  That is their obligation in their effort to keep healthcare costs down for all of you and for taxpayers.

County employees are not on the same plan but same thing can happen to them (and has).  County employees are also under a different pension.[/quote]

I would have never guessed that BC would end up being a better deal than Kaiser. [/quote]
From what they sent staff it appears that Kaiser did not bid during the procurement process[/quote]

That’s what Duran just said. That Kaiser did not submit a bid. Maybe they’ve put brakes on their expansion? APS knew since July. They just told staff yesterday. [/quote]

A memo of intent over the summer is not a signed contract and negotiating these contracts is a big deal and a lot of work and sometimes things fall through and they move on to the second choice option.  So no they’re not going to tell you until a contract is signed.

This is not a plot against you all.  It’s life.  They’re doing their jobs and yes it has some consequences that aren’t fun.  If your current insurer didn’t bid, not much choice in their end.
