This article disagrees with both the facts and every well-informed commentator. It also leaves out many important facts, distorts others and glosses over the fact that the MLC, under Mulgrew - now fiercely hated by many retirees - treacherously tried to dump all NYC public service retirees into Medicare Advantage. The courts puit a stop to this.
Any even minimally informed person already knows that Medicare Advantage (MA) is a scam that uses prior authorizations to deprive seniors of much needed medical care, and MA compoany profiteers are stealling from the Medicare fund - per a CMS study! Wendell Potter, a former Cigna VP who sold MA blew the whistle on this scam (his word) Look into this and you will stop praising Mulgrew and other union leaders who betray retirees in favor of still working members. Eugene V. Debs said it best - unions are done in not by the bosses but those who betray the labor movement.
Mr. Mulgrew has repeatedly said that health care costs are out-of-control ,as you pointed out as well, why did Mr.Mulgrew and the MLC agree to provide 600 million dollars of health care savings every year when health care is out-of-control?
Can the MLC impose a plan without the approval of the MLC? The legal provisions creating the MLC say only that the City must consult it over healthcare programs. However, the detailed opinion of the State Appellate Court upholding Judge Frank's injunction rules out any changes to the Medicare and Seniorcare for Medicare eligible retirees
