An issue over a change of dental insurance supplier has
caused a number of the Jersey City Police Officers Benevolent Association to protest
outside the council chambers building this week.
The issue was with Business Administrator Jack Kelly, who
changed the dental insurance provider without consulting the police union.
The resolution was tabled by the council and Viola
Richardson claimed that they had not been given sufficient notice of the
changes and there had been a lack of information about exactly what the new
coverage would involve.
The decision to change provider was apparently made after
the current insurer proposed a 4% increase on the current rate. The alternative
provider was able to offer the same coverage for the same price they were
currently paying.
Members on the Jersey City POBA claimed that Kelly had also
endangered the city by understaffing the emergency services alongside
continually violating contracts they had with the union.
The president of the Jersey City POBA claimed that Kelly had
provided them with absolutely no information about the new policy that was in
place. He also said that while the previous contract had now expired the employees
could still be covered by the policy.

The question is that whether what are life insurance benefits actually offered by the insurance companies regarding life insurance. Do they cover every thing? Or just pretending so, but infect there are such conditions which are not acceptable, for a life insurance policy it is necessary one should deeply study the policy offered.
