Summary
The city's self-insured health plan is having a good year, but 2027 premiums are projected to jump about 9% — well above the recent 5.76% average — because of large claims and medical inflation. Employees will pay more in dollars even though their percentage share stays the same, and the city's stop-loss coverage is rising by about $360,000.
