| Health plan keeps getting better
STEUBENVILLE � The health of the county�s health insurance program just keeps getting better.
Jefferson County commissioners on Thursday approved the waiver of a third month of health premiums for county departments. County Commissioner Thomas Graham, who chairs the county�s health insurance committee, said the departments will realize a total savings of up to $500,000 by not having to pay the premium.
Commissioners had already approved a waiver of three months of health premiums for county workers.
The departments won�t have to pay health insurance costs for October, November and December, and workers won�t have to pay premiums for November, December and January.
Graham was given the job four years ago of fixing a health insurance program that was $10 million in debt.
