The graph below includes the costs for all benefit categories dating back to 2000. While<br />

some benefit costs have been rather flat, the graph clearly shows how dramatically costs have<br />

risen in the Medical, Dental and Extended Health categories. Benefit Costs can be determined<br />

using the left (black) vertical axis of the graph.<br />

Not all increases are bad; membership has risen as well, tipping 5,000 at the end of 2012.<br />

Membership numbers can be determined using the right (red) vertical axis of the graph.<br />
