Lies and "spin" on the numbers: Jim Kimmel

Even if they just were comparing health premiums for the retiree and not the spouse ten percent raise would have taken the 61.00 premium each month and raised it to about 67.00 It is now 170.00 meaning that it is 2.8 times what it was for retiree in 2000. That alone is 278% just for the retiree. Where in blazes did they get 10%?. Maybe one of the catastrophic plans or the cheapest ones that few sign up for and which are not very good. Such lies and "spin"! Too bad we can't get a list of all the active teachers in the state and send them a newsletter once and a while.
