8  Prospect of raising cost of single coverage  Larger impact on those at lower end of earnings scale  May cause those with double coverage to drop the Augustana Plan.  May be unaffordable to some  Would allow us to divert premiums to assist in family coverage.  Thoughts?

9  Prospect of lowering cost of family coverage  May help with recruitment – particularly of faculty members.  May allow others to join the plan.  Would require higher cost for single coverage.  Moves the group of unhappy people  Thoughts?

10  Wellness Incentive Pricing  Should there be different pricing for employees that participate in some level of wellness activity?  Wellness screenings  Weight loss or exercise/fitness participation  Other things that would incent healthy choices?  Thoughts?

11  Tiered Benefits  Different pricing based on earnings  One amount if you earn less than $X/year  Higher amount if you earn more than $X/year  Doesn’t take into account overall family earnings  May adversely affect those near the “break point”  Thoughts?

12  2 nd Alternative within our plan  Lower cost coverage with lower benefits?  Higher deductible ($5,000 per family) with lower price  Smaller or limited pool of providers  Health Savings Account model  Thoughts?

13  Voluntary “buy-up” of life insurance  Currently 1.5 times your annual salary  Buy the amount you want without underwriting  Take advantage of large group discount  Additional health care choice for active employees age 65+  Would act as a Medicare supplement  Employees could keep this coverage at their own expense when they leave.

14 Thanks for your time and input!
