Nebraska Farm Bureau has announced the formation of a new large group association health care plan for its farmer, rancher and agribusiness members.
Officials say the new plan was created to lower health care costs and they hope to lower health insurance premiums, from the marketplace, by 25 percent. They say some farmers in Nebraska are currently paying as much as 25-thousand to 40-thousand dollars per year on health insurance premiums.
Farm Bureau president Steve Nelson says the rising cost of health insurance has been challenging for many ag producers and agribusinesses.
