More than 100 Mobile County employees gathered in the auditorium at Government Plaza Thursday evening to discuss the details of the new health insurance program the county adopted for retired and active personnel in April. Commission President Connie Hudson began the discussion by saying the program was implemented because of concerns the county had about the long-term sustainability of the county’s old “self insured” program.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama is the provider of both plans, but the move to the current policy is expected to save the county $2 million a year.
