Well picking a plan that fits your family's needs is a whacky idea.(obamacare)
Since it's allowing me to pick a plan based on me and the wife than the family plan...thus a lower deductable ...wacky ? I simply went down the list and took everything I wanted...! vs the 15% I am better off overall. Lets see, last year with Team care, my wife has glaucoma, one pair of glasses and one pair of sunglasses...1,258. out of pocket. This year, with my vision plan it only cost 597., not only did she get designer sunglasses, but with the bi-focal lens that before I had to pay extra out of pocket for or she couldn't have them.! Her eye doctor who saved her eye sight is out of net work so I'm use to signing a check every time she goes in for a check up. Yes team care is good insurance...but it's not the only one out there...! Obama will be taxing your company paid insurance as earned income...I think it's next year but I have to read into it to see when it takes place. I know they pushed the date back once already.
I got a phone call from one of the Holland guys, former Roadway driver that got caught up in that COO about 2 or 3 years ago telling me about the 100 mil owed to the fund that got extended. I told him YRC your retirement cancelled...has done it again.! If that payment is not met...all of us will be feeling the pain from that move for years to come. He feels that the chains and pad locks will be on the gates before that note comes due. If they can't get the equipment they need...how will they last long enough to pay the 100 mil and give us back anything.? I told him that I am glad to be on the outside looking in, Being lied to and stolen from every angle is hard enough to put up with knowing that one positive effort will never come from the crooks that lead the company down this path. First it was equal sharing when we started the give backs...now it's profit sharing that will be hard to get because there is no profit to share....! I hope to hear one positive thing that is going on...it's time for the guys to get at least one thing that is going in the right direction. He said there was 4 more leaving for UPS shortly and that he was looking too.! I guess enough is enough.
