How will the new education program affect MPS health insurance benefits in the future?
Our union, not the School Board, proposed health and productivity management (H&PM) in 2003. We initiated this approach because, long-term, it is the best way to maintain excellent health insurance benefits of the Aetna plan for our members, active and retired. Since then, more and more employers have invested in H&PM programs to maintain health benefits for their employees. In addition, our union has worked with MPS to develop a comprehensive program tailored to the needs of our members. As a result, we strongly believe this new program is the way to maintain excellent health care for our members, active and retired, now and in the future.
