ABC is getting credit for blowing this story wide open to begin with. They said if it wasn't for John Edwards and the Haiti earthquake this would be an even bigger story.

Front page news on Yahoo! Big ole picture! Love it! :happy feet:

Totally what I was thinking/doing! Bout time this happens!

The threshold for taxing family health plans will be raised from $23,000 to $24,000, and dental and vision benefits won't be counted toward that amount after 2014, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka told reporters. Health plans covered by union contracts would not be subject to the tax until 2018, and the threshold for taxing other plans will be adjusted by 1 percent above the annual rate of inflation, he said. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/14/hea...dex.html?hpt=T2 Ours isn't that high, is it?

I just sent in two prescriptions, we shall see what happens.

http://www.uaw-retirees.com/Retiree%20News...2010%20VEBA.pdf This explains some.

What a pain if that's the case. Yes, that would be nice a pension increase.

Our card says PPO on the bottom left and Traditional Care in the middle. Sandusky Plant Retiree

Until everyone gets on the same page there will be confusion. Drug Mart wanted to charge $120 tonight for an antibiotic had to explain three times no see the new card? It ended up being $10.00. They called the insurance company directly.

So I went to the Dr. last night and every which way the office girl entered it, it came back no copay. We shall see. They had had some other retirees in there earlier and no copay came up. If I end up getting a bill then fine, but it shouldn't be a full one.

Sounds like everyone might have different coverage??? Best to look at your card and your booklet that came in the mail.

We are PPO it says 50% in the book we got. Another retiree went to the Dr. Monday and didn't have to pay anything.

Ohio

Yahoo is saying 33% decline for the year at GM.

We got ours last week. 50% co-pay on office visits is what mine says. Quite frankly it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The Dental is fantastic a lot better than what we had. Still hate the vision as SVS sucks. The only mail in I see is for Medco, which again is great. NextRx stunk.

Bring back the minivan Ford!

Not down here in Ohio. My dad could return to Sandusky ACH as a Millwright even though he retired from Ford 3 years ago.

Sounds like you got a lemon. My dad had a Ranger that shook like crazy. He got a new F 250 to replace it.

The UAW was right not to give Ford the new contract. Too many good paying jobs have vanished.

Bush got us in this mess. He made it clear that he would have let the Auto Industry fail if still in Office. The Auto Family should be thankful to Obama for at last that much. I know I am. My dad still has a job.

We got our new cards, but I didn't see anything about the new coverage??

It's being reported today that the public option may end up being Blue Cross or Kaiser Permenente (sp?) I could go for that in a heart beat! :happy feet:
