Xerox Retirees Protest Benefit Cuts

Being dependent on Medicare alone introduces a risk that Xerox retirees were not expecting, given the "promise" of lifetime benefit coverage when we all joined the company. Medicare is a reasonable plan (which by the way isn't "free") until one has a serious health problem and then one finds out how poor the coverage is with regard to costs. Have you planned for 50% coverage during a life threatening health problem? That is why Medicare Supplements are important to have.
To make matters worse, the government is looking to "save" Medicare in the not too distant future and make it more "cost effective". That can't be a good thing!
Thank you Xerox. I did my best to make the company a success while I worked for you. I lived up to my commitments. I wish I could say the same for the Company!
"Belly aching"? I don't think so.

Medicare is an excellent plan for the over 65 group. My retirement plan made medicare primary and the company insurance secondary after 65. I think that is becoming standard in the US. This sounds like belly aching.

They sold it to us as part of our benefit package for retirement with out any conditions. We (I) under stood expenses related to the health plan and the choices could/would change over time. So there you are, make of it what you want. Everything in this world can be given and taken away, everything!
