[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1135081, member: 43436"] Cadillac to Ford Fusion health plan? LOL. We have minimal idea of what the changes will be, and so far, with minor hassle, the coverage is identical to what we previously enjoyed (sans the deductible). As I mentioned, prior to 2008 we had a traditional health insurance plan that was significantly more costly than what TEAMCARE will be. Nearly 97% (!) of private sector employees pay for health insurance, with an average co-deductible cost of $4300 for family coverage. Average deductible is $1200, average co-pays are $22 for PCP and $33 for specialists; average emergency room visit is over $100, etc. And you consider a no-cost health insurance plan with significantly cheaper deductibles, co-insurances & co-pays to be a "Ford Fusion" plan? Really? Sure, UPS made significant profits last year and we're getting taken care of. We're getting raises more than double that of historical inflation & continue to enjoy no-cost health insurance with minimal out-of-pocket cost (despite soaring health care costs). Given that UPS is a large international company that's branched into global supply chain & logistics management, I think the Teamsters are getting a generous share of the profits -- probably a disproportional amount.
