Medical plan premium increase for FY 2026-2027
Summary
Marana's self-funded medical plan is running a deficit and consultants project a 13.6% premium increase for next year if nothing changes. Cheaper options would drain town reserves, and the board hasn't decided yet — the choice affects what town employees pay for health coverage.

Impact analysis
A 13.6% increase would roughly break even; every point below that pulls up to about $562,000 from reserves across the scenarios discussed.
Town employees benefit if reserves are used to soften premium increases; the town benefits from keeping reserves healthy.
Employees could face significantly higher premiums if the board approves the full 13.6% increase.
