[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 2485041, member: 12570"] I have had a Teamster healthcare plan since Day 1 and, to be honest, it has served the medical needs to myself and my family quite well. $45 out of pocket for braces is nothing to complain about. I used to laugh when it came time to bring my daughter to get new glasses. She hated our limited selection-----she called it the "welfare rack"-----but when I suggested that she could take the allowance that we get, choose her own frames and pay the difference, she was suddenly able to find a pair off of that rack that she liked. Teamcare has forced us to be better medical consumers. Gone are the days of running to the ER with the sniffles. Our local just sent out a letter regarding changes to our plan. Any member with a working spouse who is eligible to enroll in healthcare through his or her employer for no more than 5% of their weekly gross is required to do so. Failure to comply will result in loss of coverage as of the 1st of the year. I do hope those for whom this does apply do not throw this letter in to the trash as it could come back to bite them in the butt down the road. [/QUOTE]
