DeWitt County employees will have a new insurance option as open enrollment approaches. 

DeWitt County Board Chair Joe Witte explains that although the two existing health insurance plans would see a premium increase this year, the county found a third option that is cheaper, giving employees the ability to find the plan that works for them. 

While insurance premiums often increase every year, Witte states that the county took on the majority of those costs the last two years to prevent employees from facing impactful price changes. 

Witte is grateful to the Finance Committee and the taxpayers of DeWitt County who enable the board to make county careers sustainable and desirable.
