I turned 50 last June, and I'm thinking about retiring from my teaching job. The Blue Cross/Blue Shield coverage goes up dramatically for retirees ...
Wow, retire at 50? You must have boo-koo bucks put away.
So how is it your teachers' union can offer a sweet deal for retirement, but not healthcare?
What do you pay now (out of pocket) for healthcare - and what will it be when you're retired at 50 years old?

So how is it your teachers' union can offer a sweet deal for retirement, but not healthcare?

Point one: Not all teachers belong to a union

Point two: Not all states have teacher's unions as a bargaining unit.

Point three: everybody that changes employment status is eligible for COBRA which is usually way more expensive because it is self-funded healthcare coverage.

Just because someone is a teacher doesn't mean they are a parasite. There are conservatives that teach out there.
