* In my opinion, public school employees are likely, or highly likely, to be required to contribute for health care to some degree due to pending legislation. * A prudent employee should begin to consider the impact on their personal finances if the State required each of us contribute between $2,000 and $7,000 annually for insurance, beginning possibly as early as July 1, 2011.
