Molly Janczyk: We simply want some equity, that's all. We are invisible.

From Molly Janczyk, February 4, 2009
Subject: FW: A commentary on Bloomberg's "Medicare Rip-Off Hits Elderly as Obama Maps Changes"
Seems STRS and OEA have displayed no conscience yet regarding current retirees. Now, if we are thrown to Medicare Advantage, the ill among us may not get satisfactory coverage combined with yet more increased costs.
Consider increasing years to full retirement; %'s of pensions to pay for HC to make it more equitable for all; sliding scales for all out of pockets and premiums based on full retirement getting the best costs down to those who can afford to retire early paying heavier costs.
THERE ARE areas that can be retooled to actually help retirees too! They are not even considered - all consideration goes to the actives though the reason the organizations are here is due to the work of retirees. We simply want some equity, that's all. We are invisible.
