[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1179518, member: 25133"] The second part of your post is the best/most information given in all this yet, thank you! I need to research this and do some thinking. I had not factored in the retire's healthcare costs. As for the first part its a bit more murky. I was a doctor before coming to UPS, and I promise you it gets a bit more complicated. Self insured entities realize massive gains when their workers are younger and access their healthcare programs less frequently or more as a preventive measure than for urgent or critical care. That's the entire principle behind ObamaCare, lowering the cost by spreading the risks. This is why you saw a large movement into plans "administered" by the likes of BC/BS or Principle. They may have been required to contribute but at the end of the year they either received a rebate or a decrease in the next years premiums. IMO, This is a primary driver in the recent push to get management to stop smoking. I need to do some thinking. [/QUOTE]
