| Q and A with Senator Katz | A measure that would have ditched the "double state share" health insurance policy for future state workers is defeated in the Senate.

11 Senators chose not to vote on the measure, citing an ongoing discussion of the
issue with Governor Markell.
Sponsoring State Senator Michael Katz says he's disappointed.
Katz says if he doesn't see improvements in the benefits' structure, he will bring
this bill back in January.
Under the current benefits structure, if two state employees are married, they have
zero dollars deducted from their paychecks for health insurance.
