[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1194373, member: 11246"] Thanks for the kind words and the respect. I feel the same way about you and [U]some[/U] of the other contributors to BC. From what I have read and heard, it seems this plan is almost identical to what I have now. As do you, I feel as though this is the first step towards more cuts to our benefits in the future. However, I now have the time to make adjustments and start another savings fund entirely for future healthcare costs. A good portion of my raises will be going into this new account. I would of been willing to give up raises to keep my current HC so instead of spending my raises I will be siphoning off the raises into this account. By the time the 5th year rolls around that account should be funded at about 25k including interest. As I have stated before I like to negotiate and play hard. I have weighed the risks and rewards and feel as though at this point the risk out weighs the reward. Please let me know what you learn Saturday. My understanding the plan is almost the exact same plan I have now, and even better in some cases. The only thing I do not like is the deductible in year 5 and that the plan is not provided by UPS. I guess that is part of the give in a give and take negotiations. Good luck brother. [/QUOTE]
