[QUOTE="GameCockFan, post: 1127691, member: 44159"] Dude, stop with this already. What's your agenda? You keep posting this drivel. I thought maybe you were misinformed, but I'm leaning toward outright lying. No medical provider can charge you the amount above the negotiated discount. It's called balance billing and it's illegal in 47 states and for all Medicare providers. The co-pay is $20 per visit. Perfectly reasonable. The deductible is $200/$400 per year single/family. Max out of pocket is $1000 per year Major Medical. Again seems reasonable to me. The plan has been posted here on this forum already. If you have questions read it. If you can't find an answer, I'll be glad to help. I've been in the plan for over 20 years. It's a good plan. Are the deductibles more than the companies part-timer plan? yes. Is it slightly more expensive? yes. But it's still above average. UPS is also paying 100% of the premiums. That's a hell of a lot better than 30/60/90 or 20/40/60. Full time employees shouldn't have a problem paying a $20 copay, or a $200/$400 deductible, or a $1000 maximum out of pocket expense for a Major Medical claim. Healthcare costs have been rising rapidly for years now. This is not a fix for that but it is a good temporary solution. CS is in good shape with ample reserves. A larger pool of employees should allow for better negotiated rates and less risk. Will the terms of the plan stay the same or change? Good question? I don't know. The devil is in the details. Get informed and make the decision that's best for you and your family. If that means a "NO" vote then by all means vote your conscience. However, The sky is not falling.
