On Monday, UNMC employees heard some of the possibilities that lie ahead for the plan. David Lechner, vice president for business and finance at the University of Nebraska, explained that health-care plan expenses have gone from $38 million in 1994 to $58 million in 2001. Meantime, revenues have fallen below expenses each year since 1996, lowering NU's health-care trust fund from $28 million in 1996 to $13 million in 2001.https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Lechner1WEB.jpg
