Title: Citing costs, IBM to move retirees off health plan
Post by: I_B_Perky on September 07, 2013, 09:32:41 PM

First UPS, now IBM! (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/07/ibm-to-move-retirees-off-health-plan/)

Note the third paragraph: "IBM's shift is an indication that health-insurance marketplaces, similar to the public exchanges proposed under President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul, will play a bigger role as companies move coverage down the path taken by many pensions, paying employees and retirees a fixed sum to manage their own care."

Hmmm... another Obamacare result? You decide.

I might be wrong.
If you have a health-care plan, you can keep it.
If you can afford it.

bit by bit, the collapse is building for a great 2014. The more obamacare casts out into the dark, the more votes for the GOP. Its all coming apart.

If only Bonehead and RINO's like McCain would play their cards rights. Their record the last 5 years has been downright awful.

You can now add Time Warner cable to the ranks of companies that are offloading retirement health benefits:
