Mohave County employees may face drastic changes in January that could force them to pay for their own health care benefits.
The Mohave County Board of Supervisors began considering the possibility Monday after hearing an hour-long presentation about the impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on the county from Erin P. Collins, president of Erin P. Collins & Associates, Inc., in Kingman. The company serves as an employee benefit consultant to Mohave County.
“We brought this up because obviously we’re concerned about our employees and feel they need to know something for the future,” said Supervisor Buster Johnson, District 3. “I don’t know how the other Board members feel, but I think it would be good to let our employees know that we could be without insurance soon through no fault of the Board. It’s just a money decision.”
