Their health bennies are very generous, too.

Something isn’t right here....

Offered at a time when the tax payers could afford it. But like Social Security, you need 10x more people paying into the system, than taking from it. Plus people living longer, inflation, etc.

It will have to be addressed sometime in the future otherwise taxes will go through the roof and cities and states will have to take on huge debt.

Since city's and state's pension funds (including health care) are separate from the general funds (RE: Social Security), will Medicare for all absorb the State pension provided healthcare? In other words, will the state and local retirees have to switch to Medicare for all too. Along with private companies who will be forced to switch their private insurance to Medicare for all?

This could be both a plus and a minus for the state pension funds — plus: they'd have a new resource for funding their pensions (if they are not in the red right now, they will be in the future); minus: if they do have excess left in the budget, it will be absorbed by Medicare for all.
