[QUOTE="Crumbx, post: 587526, member: 24661"] UPS is self insured. This is similar to a single payer system. Providers are private and costs of health care for employees are paid directly. Socialized health care is when the doctors and other health care workers are employed by the government and the government builds and owns the hospitals and clinics. The amount UPS comes up with each year describing the non-union employees share of "premiums" and UPS's share is either a projected amount or based on the past year of costs. It doesn't represent a real premium payment. VISIONS 2010 represents another shift in the direction of "shared responsibility". Now, not only will employees pay a larger "premium", but they will have a deductible to satisfy before their 80-20 coverage kicks in. Hope you employees realize that if you get cancer that 20% of your share could reach $60,000 - $100,000. The union should keep pushing for 100% of their coverage being paid. As a non-union employee, I already pay 30% of my gross wages for my "share". With this new plan in 2010, I can just kiss another 10% of my gross pay goodbye. If healthcare costs keep going this way, in another 4-5 years I will be paying UPS to come to work everyday as I won't even make enough for my employee share. [/QUOTE]
