The bigger question is why are people who have quit their jobs still receiving insurance benefits from their former employer?

What? How could this happen? His best friend in the White House told everyone that insurance rates would go down by more than $2000 per family under ObozoCare. Someone needs to tell Rahm that his buddy promised lower rates. Clearly, all he needs to do is contact Obozo in the White House and get this lie about higher insurance rates cleared up. After all, Obozo wouldn’t lie to us just for his own personal gain...would he?

Welcome to reality! They've looted the city with outrageous wages and benefits and are finally feeling what the rest of us have been going through. Enjoy!
Can't wait to get out of this Hellhole of a city.

Good. It’s about time people from the public sector share in some of the pain government has imposed on the rest of us.

If they’re eligible for Medicare Part A that’s free. FWIW, in the MA town I retired from they had to keep covering those older retirees who aren’t eligible for Medicare (retired before they had 40 quarters).

Won't the increase be covered by the $2,500 savings they will get from Obama?

Slowly the acidic blob that is Obamacare is oozing its way into the public sector. A couple of public employees complained to me recently about higher copays and other costs for their state health insurance. I told them that was just a taste of what I have to deal with, their coverage is still leaps and bounds better than mine and this is all the fault of fiscal mismanagement and that nightmare Obamacare. I think a light dawned.

The city notified them of a 30-percent to 40-percent increase that will cost most of the retirees between another $300 to $400 a month.
So, retirees, on average, are already paying $1000 a month?
Wow, such a deal.

I would think for $1000 a month, you could get a pretty good plan on the Obamacare exchanges. These must be really gold-plated plans, if they now cost $1400 a month and are still subsidized.
