“Our friend who is a retied water dept worker of 30 yrs lost his health ins in this contract, his wife retires as a music teacher after 33 yrs next month, they will have NO health ins and can’t afford 0’care.”

Good luck to your friend. ObamaCare was funded in part by cuts to Medicare (this was widely known/publicized at the time), and to me that sent a clear message that the “legacy Americans” were being sold out to the interests of the “replacement Americans”. In terms of municipal workers’ benefits, I have no sympathy for them; here in NJ they bankrupted the state and force taxpayers to provide them with both easy jobs and lavish retirements that are unattainable for the general public.

I agree with you on gov’t unions. They are up to speed on 0’care, both are conservatives. Memphis is kinda the exception, Muny workers don’t get paid as well as they do in Northern states. These 2 have worked their butts off all their lives. Not all gov’t jobs are paid well. It depends where you are on the rung and the state. Memphis is not known to be a good employer where that is concerned, Unless you are high ranking city council or mayor’s office. And they paid for a lot of their health ins when he worked. He worked all kinds of crazy hrs. She had to teach in the Memphis war zone they call schools. To top that off she is a diabetic, over weight because of it, puts her in high risk category, he has high BP which forced his retirement and lesser ins pkg. Then there is the generation gap between today’s Muny workers and the workers of 30+ yrs ago.

Our own health care is total government control, Medicare and Tricare Life as hubby is Ret. SCPO.over 65..will be 74 next week. Tricare Life (Ret, Military over 65)
DOD MANDATE 4/14/2014

For Daily Medicines it’s forcing us to use either Base whose drugs are limited by size of base and is not wheel chair or handicap friendly or Express Scripts MANDATED Tricare Life. 4/14/14. Express Scripts is a sorry excuse of a provider. You never know if your order is right, what generic, what manufacture, or what country. All stuffed into your mail box UN PHOTO ID SIGNED FOR making them available to thieves and meth makers to steal. Or Neighborhood kids to access.

His 90 day supply of Welchol retails @ $900. My Linzess retails @ $855 for 90 days. We pay co-pays for them. Just stuffed in the mail by USPS.

I have jumped both RINO senators and my Rep over this both times and the fact it takes 3 weeks for a first fill and 2 weeks for a refill. Base is fill within 2- 24 hrs, refills take 5 days and come out of Pensacola. Which is stupid when they have the meds right there at the base. I am just waiting for Base where all my meds but that 1, are filled to screw up my Synthroid and send the generic. Then I will be chewing higher ups butts. This is a DAW script, I made a photo copy of. I am allergic to the generic and it does not function properly either, less of the hormone in it than in the Name Brand @ same strength. Since this is a critical daily drug for me, it has to be on the money. 2 glands basically run your body, Pituitary and Thyroid. My thyroid is dead.

There has to be a money trial, the fraud was easy to find along with the consumer dissatisfaction. How they passed the smell test to get a lucrative multi BILLION $$ DOD contract is beyond my understanding, Palm greasing took place.
