Rochester Regional Health System has paused open enrollment after backlash over steep 2026 health insurance premium hikes.
The new salary-based plans would raise some employee costs dramatically — from $6 to $64 per pay period for entry-level staff and from $355 to over $1,200 for higher-band family plans.
The nurses’ union, RUNAP, says such increases could drive workers away and wants premium hikes capped at 6% per year.
