Lafayette, WL city employees prepare for insurance changes WEST LAFAYETTE, IN (wbaa) - Lafayette and West Lafayette employees may see a change in their insurance policies.

Officials from both cities are meeting to discuss possible changes in deductibles and insurance co-pays.

Another idea that has been talked about is a health savings account. That is a tax-deductible fund employees can draw from for health related costs.

Officials say because of the rising cost of health insurance, employees can expect a higher premium.

Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski says his city is facing a 28% increase in the cost health insurance, which must be lowered. © Copyright 2009, wbaa
