A commission chaired by the City of Chicago's Comptroller issued a report
earlier this week which said that Chicago can no longer afford its subsidies for government worker retiree health care, which currently cost the city $ 109 million annually but would grow to nearly $ 500 million in a decade thanks to projected increases in the number of retirees and in health care costs.The commission offered Mayor Rahm Emanuel a series of
suggestions on how to change the program to save money, including having workers pay a greater percentage of their own health care premiums in retirement, but it also concluded that the city might want to simply end the subsidy program, a move which almost certainly would be
challenged in court.
