[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1332970, member: 47259"] Milkman, you and I are of the same mold, hell we even worked together in the same center. You are a little more lucky than me though, I will have to carry the family plan as my wife is younger than me and I'm almost 7 years away from 65. You should actually feel lucky that you only have to cover yourself as my deductible is $400 on the family plan. The prescription service is going to kill my wife and I. We've been saving prescriptions for over two years now and have quite the pharmacy going on here. My biggest gripe is some of the "experimental" drugs that were covered on our old policy are no longer considered covered on the new plan. Same company (Aetna), just different parameters. What a pisser... I, like a lot of the responders in this thread, accept it for what it is...a true concession that will continue to happen as the active employees continue to tread through their careers. Too bad they don't have tunnel vision as we had when we voted on our contracts (retirement). The last line of this quote says it best. But I'm sure we will see more ridiculous things to come. I keep thinking of their new Teamcare and how it serves them beyond the 65th year of their lives. Could this be a precursor to the death of Medicare for them? Obama spreading his wings into the future? [/QUOTE]
