State employees screwed by Scott Walker again- health care costs to double

Actually it's the annual deductible that doubles; if prescription drug increases are factored in it's much worse. For example, the monthly copay for some prescriptions will skyrocket to $200. This on top of the large increases in costs to state employees and families in Walker's first term. It's just brutal, really.

Approved by the Walker appointed insurance board:

Walked through a UW System school staff parking lot this morning and was surprised to see I Stand With Walker bumper stickers.

Most of them have voted Rethuglican. Even with all the crap the Rethugs have visited on State employees I bet they will still vote for them. It's a gun thing. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
