[quote=flu][quote=SK in CV]Your implication in your lead is wrong. This isn’t a cut to benefits. It’s a shift in coverage. Says right in the article “It does not reduce our costs.”. Large companies have been cutting retiree healthcare benefits for more than a decade. This move expands retirees choices. For most people, exchange rates will be lower than those available in the private market.[/quote]
Oh please. It’s going to cut benefits. Retirees are going to pay more for the same level of coverage. It also shifts part of the burden onto taxpayers….
You either pay more for the same coverage, or you pay the same as before and get less coverage…. Same thing….
It’s starting with retirees. But I guarantee you this will be rolled out to all non-retirees to. Terrible ..Absolutely terrible….
Well that’s it…When my health fails, I don’t want to put up with this insurance shit and health circus…Looks like I’ll be retiring early..permanently.
Good news that my kid will end up being pretty wealthy at a pretty young age!
That or Canada…. Looks pretty interesting these days, ey![/quote]
flu, you, all of people stand to be on the “winning side” of this HCRA equation if you retire early. Had the HCRA never become law, you might have been required to pay $2000+ month just for yourself for coverage (for a crappy HMO) :=0
