New Jersey State Workers Win Health Cost Freeze | Jersey City News

New Jersey state workers are getting a health insurance break for 2027, avoiding premium hikes after Governor Mikie Sherrill and 17 unions struck a deal—marking the second straight year of cost stability. To keep costs down, both sides are launching a task force to find data-driven reforms for the massive state health plan covering nearly 700,000 people.

For now, state employees can breathe easy—thanks to smart negotiation and a shared commitment to long-term savings.
