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

I understand union health insurance is better than non union. I’m curious how UPMC health insurance compares to other jobs. I’ve worked in tech and employees are well paid but the health insurance is usually expensive high deductible plans which really stinks if you have a chronic health problem. Does a nurse at UPMC get better or worse health insurance than an accountant at PNC or does a minimum wage worker at UPMC get better insurance than a minimum wage worker at giant eagle or eat and park?

I work for UPMC on the insurance services side and the insurance is pretty good, they cover an incredibly expensive injectable my wife takes for a chronic disease. I've got no complaints.
 
In general health insurers cover what the policy holder asks them to cover. If your insurance doesn't cover much, you can talk to your HR department about it because they set the terms.
