People assume the 80 plan is better. Why? Because it costs more. Total nonsense. Basically the same coverage, same restrictions, same doctors. SLIGHTLY lower deductibles and max out of pocket on the 80 doesn't come close for making up the $2700 higher premiums. The only scenario I could see where the 80 is better is if you had 3 or 4 family members covered and every one of the them maxed out their deductibles and max out of pocket.
Perhaps I would be envious of Old Falcon Fart if he was living a life deserving of envy. Instead he's living a very much routine life of retirement. Made more obvious by the fact that it's a retirement that's all about him rather than a life involving his spouse who contributed mightily toward the daily experiences he exclusively enjoys.
You are so right. Play golf, fish, travel, get the classic car out. That is such a terrible routine. My wife plays golf and fishes but she can't drive the Z28 because it's a manual transmission and she has never learned to drive a manual. You bragged you don't have a woman so taking marriage advice from you would be senseless.
You never said that she plays golf and goes fishing with YOU. In addition you seem to be having a very difficult time coming to terms with fact that millions of other American retirees are doing exactly the same everyday activities as you do. In other words just exactly what makes you think that you're doing something special? Furthermore, your retirement is all about "me, me, me" At the same time however there are countless retirees who are using their remaining years in service to something or someone other than themselves.
What are you doing to help your fellow man?
All 69 Z came with 302. Mine has the matching # 302. M22 4 speed. 373 posi rear end gear. RS option which means the Hideaway Headlights. Sweet ride.
Just another old Republican that will soon depart…
You know more about Ground than you know about anything else, and as bbsam and IWBF have pointed out on numerous occasions, you barely know jack about Ground.
Figured you would be in line for every handout and you are most likely in possession of 2 or 3 Obama phones.
Oh it's like that everywhere. Some people love an upgrade, no matter how bad of a deal it is.
The people that pay the extra for the 80 narrow are the same type of people that buy a $10 item at Best Buy and spend $4 on the extended warranty.
I know enough to know that neither the spoken or printed word is binding upon that company because there's no governing legal authority in place with the power to make it binding ..... That fact alone is all anyone needs to know And one of the best examples can be found on this thread in the way you guys are anguishing over the current state of your healthcare plan along with your growing concerns about it's level of coverage and whether or not the plan will even be offered in a few years as evidenced by your own admission that you are on your WIFE"S plan (lol).
My older brother who was born with a learning disability and now suffers from peripheral neuropathy and Parkinson's Disease lives with me and I care for him and his needs . And I will continue to do so and provide him with the closest thing to a normal life as possible for as long as possible. In addition I proved our mother with a home and care for the last 27 years of her life until her death from brain cancer.
This is a great example of how it is so easy to judge other people based on a few lines posted on an online job forum. We all have challenges. Just solely based on his comments, Falcons challenge is in the area of character. Not all of us had the same opportunity for health, wealth, and family like he evidently has. I hope one day instead of being critical he will realize that and be more understanding of others and in doing so, be even more grateful for what he has. He may be rich, but he is really poor.
I'm not anguishing over anything, nor do I have concerns (growing or otherwise) about its level of coverage or if it'll be offered in the future. Don't know why you think it's a big deal that my wife has all of us on the family plan.
Doesn't your inflatable wife have insurance coverage. You never know when she might spring a leak.
When she started looking like your wife, wrinkly, smelly, and grotesquely obese, I put her out for the garbage man.
A plain admission that you find far greater healthcare security in your WIFE"S employer's plan rather than the one Fat Freddy offered you.
So the ordinary FDX employee can't marry a person that has equal or better health insurance than the company offers. Just because you haven't had a woman since the Reagan years doesn't mean other employees share your situation.
