[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1173443, member: 12508"] No matter how FedEx tries to portray this, it is a huge takeaway that means you either cough-up more of your take-home pay to cover medical expenses...or go without. I'm thinking there are going to be a lot of people working sick, and quite a few 50-somethings forced out the door. This is, of course, the underlying plan...to save money AND get rid of the older "parasite" employees who are sapping profits by daring to get chronic conditions or a serious illness. If they don't quit, their finances are highly likely to be severely affected and if they do quit, they're going to have a difficult time obtaining coverage. A true Catch-22. R1a is right on the money with his comments about providers who won't accept what FedEx is willing to pay for services (via their Anthem/CIGNA surrogates). If I see a specialist, the bill invariably bounces several times between the provider and FedEx, and eventually an "adjusted" rate is negotiated. How many times have you seen the phrase "above customary and prevalent charges" on a statement? Another game to save Fred money and make you pay instead. I'm going to post something soon about the targeting of older employees and the possibility of a class action suit against FedEx for systematically attempting to force them out. I've been corresponding with several law firms about this, but since I don't have a chronic condition, I'm ineligible to be a lead plaintiff. PM me if you fit this category and have been jacked around by FedEx/CIGNA/Aetna and feel you've been targeted. I'd like to get something going in this direction. Also, we need a "Deep Throat". Someone high up in the command chain who actually has a conscience and is sickened by what they see going on at FedEx. Perhaps you will take the High Road and release documents that prove what they are doing is by design. [/QUOTE]
