[QUOTE="The Mayor, post: 724799, member: 21132"] This was the very question I also asked our regional v.p. when he was here also. He gave me the same song and dance about how Fed Ex is a people company and that they wouldn't do that. However, lets look at the facts. #1, Fed Ex pays almost 1 Billion (yes with a B) in health care costs for us to have health care. #2, as you stated, this legislation only applies to a broader coverage base and does nothing to control cost measures. #3, in the legislation, it is stated that a penalty to drop coverage per individual would be something like $2,500 per employee per instance with companies in excess of 50 or more individuals. So, if this is the case, it would still be cheaper for them to drop us all and just pay the penalty. This is just another reason why we all need to hope an pray that this legislation gets passed so we can sign cards, go to the table and get the basic benefits we deserve. I don't know if you recieved your "benefits" packet from ole uncle fred yet in the mail, take time to look at it and read. They are "suggesting" that they don't know what to do or how to handle our health care benefit. Gee, I wonder what that means?....... [/QUOTE]
