Waterloo Shifts City Employee Benefits to Traditional Health Plan
What happened
Waterloo is switching back to a traditional health insurance plan for city employees after staff requested the change from the high-deductible plan. The city had previously moved employees to the high-deductible plan to address a budget deficit last year.

Why it matters
The change is designed to save the city money by reducing the number of employees on city healthcare. Staff who currently receive opt-out payments offered to accept lower payments to offset the costs of switching plans.
