Dear Faculty and Librarians,

Right now, Governor Healey is asking the Group Insurance Commission (GIC) to shift $100 million in healthcare costs from the Commonwealth onto us. If this goes through, it will mean higher co-pays, deductibles, and premiums, along with the elimination of coverage for critical prescriptions such as GLP-1s.
