[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 586308, member: 4932"] We can leave the politics of the current shouting matches out of it, but UPS is under the same pressure as anyone else is today's health care 'market'. A company as big as UPS has no leverage within the current marketplace of monopolistic insurers. It is estimated that in most areas, one insurer controls 70% of the market. That would be subject to anti-trust laws in any other part of our economy. Health care premiums and costs are rising 4 times faster than inflation. Where is the money going? Hint: since 2000, profits for the health care industry have risen over 400% The board is simply living with the current crappy US health care 'system'. Not their fault. Just like it's not their fault gasoline cost $4.50 a gallon last summer. I'm sincerely hoping they don't decide to simply hand each of us the amount they set aside for our health care, and tell us to go root around for ourselves. We are all well and truly screwed then.
