The active workers must fight this; a fight I've been part of for over 4 years as a Medicare eligible retiree. If it seems too good to be true, IT IS! Delays, denials, prior authorizations and AI will cost you your health. Don't settle for an inferior product. Isn't that why we have a union in the first place? When you earn $350,000 a year like Mulgrew, it surely makes no difference to him what health plan you get stuck with. He can afford whatever comes his way.

I want to read the fine details before I vote yes on this proposal, don’t you? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice …
