State of the Union: March 23, 2010

The Women’s Committee is hosting a Women’s History Day celebration in the cafeteria today. Take the quiz about women past and present for a chance to win a gift basket. Popcorn and other information about women’s history will be available in the cafeteria. Please return the quizzes to the cafeteria or a member of the Women’s Committee by the end of the shift to be graded. Prizes will be awarded after the shift ends today.
•    With the passage of the health care bill, many questions are being raised. One item of particular interest is the excise tax on high-cost insurance. Here’s what we know: the tax doesn’t begin until 2018 and applies to policies that exceed $10,200 for singles and $27,500 for families. The tax would be 40% on the excess premium. We believe that our insurance premiums are in the $15,000 range for families and this tax would likely not apply to our health care plans. When we acquire an accurate number as to the cost of our health insurance for both single and families, we will pass it on.
