[QUOTE="feederdriver06, post: 608696, member: 19057"] Yup driver . . . I share your pain. The BC/BS of Illinois plan that I've had since 1998 has been great. Although I've had billing issues that took many phone calls to straighten out , the coverage has been excellent. I don't know what to think about Aetna POS. Our benefit levels are supposed to be the same with the Aetna plan as with the BC/BS. Years ago before the BC/BS plan we had an Aetna plan that wasn't POS . That was a good plan but why am I getting the feeling that we are having our coverage "cheapened"? Wouldn't a POS plan that has defined copays be a violation of the contract because I currently pay a percentage and not a defined copay? Our benefits were supposed to be unchanged with this contract. Changing from one company to another would be legal as long as the benefits stay the same. If the benefits are not the same after the switch this should be a violation of the contract. For me, my medical benefits are priority one when it comes to contract negotiations. Its what I examine first. If its funky its an automatic NO vote. Wages and pension is all secondary. The next contract may not go as smooth as this one did. I will be ready to strike over this most def. [/QUOTE]
