A new study shows Nevada state employees pay for a significantly larger share of their health insurance premiums compared with other states. Nevada is one of 11 states where the employee covers at least one-fourth of the cost of their premium - 26 percent by the worker and 74 percent by the state. The report released says the average among all states is 16 percent charged to the employee.
Hawaii charges its state employees the biggest share - 42 percent. On the other end, North Dakota covers all premiums for individual employees.
