Across the United States, public institutions are quietly changing employee health insurance programs in ways that raise costs, reduce coverage, and threaten the well-being of their workers. On October 1st, 2025, Oregon State University (OSU) Graduate Students’ health insurance switched from Pacific Source to Cigna Healthcare. This came less than a year after the Coalition for Graduate Employees’s (CGE) weeks-long strike to negotiate better wages. According to CGE members, this decision was made without CGE’s input or consent.
