[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 1155200, member: 18471"] We're going from a defined benefit company health plan to a defined contribution teamster run health plan. The difference in the level of benefits proposed is not that great. What I see as a bigger concern is, considering a 5 year contract, that 2 or 3 years down the road the CS or Teamcare or whoever manages the plan is gonna come to the members and say, "Costs have 'skyrocketed, escalated, (Hoffa, Hall, and their golf partner Scott Davis, need new clubs.)whatever'. The current level of contributions negotiated in 2013 are not enough to maintain the level of benefits. At which point either we are going to have to contribute or take higher deductibles. Or the money will come from pension contributions and pensions already in trouble will end up getting worse. [/QUOTE]
