Yeah..no CPLA, no dental for retirees. big frickin’ deal.
Giving up dental as well as vision IS a big deal for us. Plus we pay a hefty amount now for our medical. We counted on a certain amount of retirement. Just like Post Office workers do. Just like nurses, policemen, teachers, you name it. Little by little it gets chipped away.
I don’t know whose fault it is. We’ve never voted lock step with the Union the whole 30 yrs my husband was a union member and I think you’ll find that many union members aren’t voting democratic.
Our dental we got was $1600 per year and our vision was 1 exam and glasses every 2 yrs. We now pay 80% of our dr’s visits. Btw
30 yrs ago everyone modeled their health plans and pay according to the big 3. I wonder how many of them will NOW model their pay after them now.
