[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1133484, member: 43436"] Interestingly, the rate in which health care costs have been rising has been cut in half since the preparations for ObamaCare began, and many are now agreeing/accepting the fact that ObamaCare is partially responsible. Nonetheless, health care deductibles have nearly doubled over our past two contracts -- the highest rates occurring under a Republican Administration. You're naieve if you believe that sans ObamaCare, UPS would not have asked us to be contributing & paying more for our health insurance costs. Contrary to popular BrownCafe belief, UPS is a for-profit company, not an employee charity organization. BTW, I don't know why anybody's complaining about the new TEAMCARE insurance. The benefits are EXCELLENT -- nearly on-par with what we currently enjoy, sans a few changes. The additional costs are much less than what I had anticipated. For example, my "life saving" meds that I take cost about $10,000 annually -- I will continue to enjoy them at no-cost to me, whereas most insured people pay $2000-$3000 annually. But now I'll have to get them from CVS -- CVS is the dominate pharmacy in my area, but certainly not the most convenient to me. [/QUOTE]
