North Carolina is considering changes to state health insurance plans that would eliminate the 80/20 plans.

The Board of Trustees that manages the state health insurance plans for government employees is considering major changes to the state health plan.

The board is considering proposed elimination of the 80/20 plan. The measure is in response to a legislative order to reduce costs for the more than 690,000 employees and retirees who receive health benefits through the state. 

Host Frank Stasio talks with WRAL’s Mark Binker about the latest.
