I wonder how much their increase is. I was looking through some files yesterday. I'm a physician in a group with 8 other family physicians. I started there 10 years ago. My heath insurance just for me was 4,800 a year. Today it is 5,200. Not bad for 10 years. But the big kicker is my medical malpractice insurance has gone up just over
The KEA said nothing when the Democrats blocked efforts to reform Medical Malpractice Liability. Another thing that should raise eyebrows, but the KEA members are completely oblivious to it.
They also don't seem to mind the KEA keeps endorsing the people who help cause and keep these problems alive. Ten years ago the Dems passed a law that subsequently ran 40 insurance providers out of Kentucky. The KEA has not lobbied for a repeal of that law and continues to endorse those who passed it. Amazing. And their members keep flushing their money down the toilet and play along like good little lemmings.
"The Kentucky Education Association Web site says that in one scenario, an employee who has paid $10 for lab services costing $300 will have to pay $60 for the same services next year and would see deductibles for an office visit that cost $100 double from $10 to 20percent of the cost, or $20"
