[quote=paramount]This year the only choice we have is Cigna; all other options have been dropped.

So just to review, in the last 2 years I have lost the following:

1. My pension
2. 401k cut by 50%
3. Vacation time cut
4. Lost all sick time
5. Lost holidays (including July 4th)
6. And now choice in Healthcare

But oh yes, were supposed to be happy to have a job.

Meanwhile, public sector workers live in a fairy tale world of high pay and benefits including golden pensions and lifetime benefits.

We’ve been duped into thinking unions are bad; if I was union my employer wouldn’t be getting away with stripping our benefits without a fight.

Sooner or later I’ll wise up and walk away from my house.[/quote]

Paramount—that is just horrible! Those are huge losses in such a short time. I would have a hard time being positive at work, after being cut like that. Can you find another job with better benefits?

As for me, payments only went up $6 bucks a month. Everything else stayed the same–copays, $30, etc. However, next year, I am waiting for the shoe to drop.
