[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1139028, member: 17969"] This is exactly right! Let me tell you a story about one of my drivers in my center. We will compare the difference between our current plan and the teamcare plan they want to dump us into. Our Driver has a wife and three kids. One of his teenage daughters a couple of months ago became seriously ill. They took her to the local hospital in town where she spent one night ( cost to driver $100.00) They transferred his daughter to childrens hospital where she spent 4 days undergoing testing and drugs. They determined after all the testing that she has Diabetes type 1 and would have to recieve and inject insulin shots. [h=2]Type 1 diabetes [/h] Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a form of diabetes mellitus that results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The subsequent lack of insulin leads to increased blood and urine glucose. The classical symptoms are polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus_type_1"][COLOR=#3366bb]en.wikipedia.org[/COLOR][/URL] The shots COST $1000.00 and will need this for the rest of her life. (current cost to our driver $5.00 a month or $60.00 for the year) The total OUT OF POCKET OUTLAY for our driver is $160.00 for the year. IF our driver was on the NEW TEAMCARE PLAN here's how it would have worked out. ( and STINK, I want YOU to tell us how this is better coverage ) First, the first stay at the local hospital cost $3200.00 ( cost to our driver $200.00 deductible plus 20% or $840.00 out of pocket ) Then, transferring to Chldrens hospital and a 4 day stay with multiple testings cost $19586.00 ( the cost to our driver under TEAMCARE would be 20% $3917.20 ) THEN, we have the prescription for insulin. Under UPS PLAN $5.00 UNDER TEAMCARE our driver has to pay not only the $200.00 deductible, but an ADDITIONAL $1000.00 for "INJECTABLE MAINTENANCE DRUGS". PLUS, each month, our driver would have to cover the $50.00 copay for the prescriptions ( cost to our driver $600.00 for year in copays) LETS ADD THAT UP STINK: 1) $840.00 2) $3917.20 3) $1200.00 4) $600.00 Total OUT OF POCKET FOR OUR DRIVER UNDER TEAMCARE $ 6557.20!! Now C'mon STINK, you seem like a reasonable guy, WHY would you VOTE YES, for something that could have a devastating effect on a fellow brothers family in this manner? Nobody knows when something catastrophic will happen to us or our families, and in this case, our driver was fortunate enough to have this happen while still on our UPS health plan. THIS IS A REAL STORY and this driver and wife will be out in front of the hub with posters with this breakdown talking to all UPS employees. WE need to understand just how devastating this new contract can be to a UPSers family. Something like this could land a family in BK court. Think about it STINK. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
