The Police & Firefighters Bill
Health coverage kept for injured police and firefighters
Health insurance coverage for peace officers and firefighters disabled in the line of duty continued, and eligibility to receive continued health insurance coverage for which the employer must pay the employer contribution modified.
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would keep health insurance for police and firefighters who are disabled on the job, and make the employer pay the insurance contribution.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, first responders who are hurt while serving will stay covered and won’t lose their health benefits, while the state or local government may have to pay more for their insurance.
