Penalty-based system could make you sick

Posted on November 20, 2010 by Dissent

In a letter to the editor, Matt Pierce of Bloomington, Indiana and District 61 state representative. comments:

Indiana University portrays its new Health Engagement Program as providing employee discounts on health insurance premiums in exchange for healthier living. In truth, it punishes employees who refuse to surrender their privacy to the university or allow it to hijack health-care decisions now made by employees and their doctors.

IU wants employees to believe they can earn discounts on health insurance premiums. In fact, there are no discounts. Instead, penalties are heaped onto existing premiums for employees who refuse to sacrifice their privacy in order to comply with IU’s demands.

    Perhaps a better option is to offer deposits into employee MSA accounts to allow them to spend the money on many more options (including dental and vision).
