[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1139739, member: 17969"] 407, my problem with you and your opinions, is that you CLEARLY dont understand how the process of insurance works. Yes, you are already in an inferior health plan (compared to us on UPS plans) and you are comfortable with that. YOUR locals negotiated that POS for you years ago, and you accepted it. The rest of us are NOT like YOU. We do not want to take this lying down. What I see as YOUR confusion over the health care debate, is that you dont understand the difference between FRONT LOADING and BACK LOADING of a health plan. For guys like you, you SEE, NOTHING UP FRONT and you get all excited!! What great news! BUT, what you dont see, is the BACK LOADING, higher deductibles, larger copays, larger participation percentages and reduced coverage with caps. You CHOSE to pay on the backside vs paying up front. Today, if given a choice, UPS's last offer of 20/40/60 isnt a bad idea for those of us on company plans when you compare that to having to pay OUT OF POCKET on the backend and reduced coverage. For me, I'd gladly pay the $40.00 a week ( now ) and maintain my current benefits while you are stuck having to get a second job to cover the copays and deductibles and 20%. If that makes you happy, then maintaining my benefits at a small cost while you suffer the financial loss makes me happy. I could care less about the central states funding status. Skimming money off of my contribution paid by the company to give me an inferior plan so guys like you can cheer for accounting is something WE will not support. If you and DAVE want to deliver pizzas on weekends in order to cover your childs surgery , then be my guest and dont be late with my pizza. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
