The head of the State Employees Association of North Carolina says requiring workers to pay their own health insurance premium would set a bad precedent.
Executive Director Dana Cope spoke Tuesday at the group's legislative lobbying day in Raleigh.
State employees and retirees don't pay a premium for their own basic health insurance. Requiring a small premium could generate hundreds of millions of dollars that could help cover a funding shortage for the State Health Plan, which provides the insurance.
A new report by the association said North Carolina state government already ranks 40th among states in its contribution to individual health insurance. Employees pay all the premium for their spouses and children if they are covered under the plan.
