[QUOTE="FedExMom, post: 1218629, member: 50668"] Not a bad idea. I am not a FedEx employee. I am, however, the HR manager at my place of employment and the mother of a FedEx Ground employee. Since I am the person who makes health insurance decisions for my company, my son asked me to look over his "options." All I can say is "WOW!" I have never sem a major company offer such garbage. For the record, they seem to be taking advantage of the fact that most employees have no idea what the health care act requires. Under no circumstances could any of the plans offered to average employees reach the level of a "Cadillac plan." In fact, taking the best available plan in any of the past 3 years (and including the 2014 options) would offer what most companies would consider minimum coverage. I am appalled at the coverage offered to my son. Both my husband and I work for very small companies. They have nowhere near the buying power of FedEx. Both offer substantially better plans. We are covered on my husband’s plan. It is a family plan covering both of us and our 2 remaining children. Computing premiums, an average of 2 doctor visits per year and 2 generic medications per year, we pay approximately 80% of what he will pay for a single person. That means we pay premiums, 8 office visit copays and 8 pharmacy copays for less than what he pays for premiums, 2 visits and 2 medications. [/QUOTE]
