Reply to comment by ktxhopem3276 in UPMC grew too fast, gained too much market share, report says | TribLIVE.com by imakestuffup725

I used to work out of the union hall for various contractors. Then the government. Now UPMC(still union luckily). UPMC has not only the worst insurance of anywhere I’ve worked at, but the most expensive.

The strange thing is they have the best plans on the public insurance exchange. I’d be curious how their employee plans stack up to other non union employers. Most non union employers have put the rising costs of health insurance solely onto the employee over the last twenty years. If they want better pay and benefits they should probably unionize

The full year I worked at UPMC and paid for UPMC insurance is the most I’ve ever paid for healthcare in my life. I didn’t even see a doctor once that year.
