It was a max of $88 a month per employee for AHCI but the premium for ABC doubled and then doubled again shortly after that. Many companies pay 50-100% for their employees extended coverage and were blind sided by these increases. They would have saved more if the province had not cut the AHCI premium and then upped ABC to help pay the difference :)KGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080163900313558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-74463935110243508432012-01-27T13:41:33.547-07:002012-01-27T13:41:33.547-07:00Cutting the premiums means that big business does ...Cutting the premiums means that big business does not have to pay the employees benefits any more, saving big $$$$ for Big CompaniesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-60633429615392257512009-05-16T19:09:00.000-06:002009-05-16T19:09:00.000-06:00Stelmach is a lousy premier.
