Preserve NYC Employees' (Active & Retired) Healthcare

Comments

#3601

I was told that I would have GHI health care paid for by the City for life. The City is legally bound by that contract. I made my financial retirement decisions accordingly.

LAWRENCE ABRAMS (NEW YORK, 2022-03-16)

I was told I had free Healthcare for my entire lifetime.

Kerry Whitfield (Bronx, 2022-03-16)

I’m against the new health plan because too many procedures need prior authorization.

James Stanton (Flushing, 2022-03-16)

This attempt to privatize our Medicare is illegal and immoral. This was negotiated in secret and nobody representing DC 37 Retirees was involved. This plan will cost us more and provide much less health care.

Gary Goff (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

I'm signing because a promise was made to NYC retirees, years ago. Mr. Mayor, you initially supported the retirees, then changed your mind. Too many retirees have more to lose with this plan than they have to gain.

Amy Dattner-Levy (Derry, 2022-03-16)

#3623

I am signing because I need my superior health care I receive in active duty when I retire without spending thousands of dollars a year in retirement to preserve my health and the health of my family in retirement. I do not want my health care replace with some subpar insurance that requires fees copays and referrals; that all doctors will accept. I served and do my job and the city should honor our health insurance.

Joseph Sokolow (Staten Island NY, 2022-03-16)

I do not want the new health plan

This is so important. Our benefits are being chipped away. We must be vigilant to keep the benefits we worked for.

Mahasin Nor-Pomarico (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

I served faithfully for more than 35 years. I should be able to not bankrupt my family with medical costs.

Marcia Berliner (The Villages, 2022-03-16)

Signing petition because NYC PROMISED...CONTRACTUALLY TO ABIDE TO THE AGREEMENTS RENDERED IN CONTRACT TO PAY MY MEDICARE.

MAPP weakened retiree health benefits, broke NYC’s promises, was negotiated without retiree participation, and pro-
motes privatization and decline of
Medicare.

My spouse was with D37

#3651

It is unfair for the unions to throw their retirees under the bus taking away my hard-earned benefits for their own benefits. I want to keep the insurance I have and should not be forced to switch or pay a large premium.

My husband is a physician and know about all the hassles of managed care and the aggravation to my MDs as well as myself

Ellen Sable (Irvington, 2022-03-16)

I worked as a special education teacher for 35 years in the NYC school system. Every pay check I paid via a payroll deduction, in order to fund my health and paid into the Medicare system via my FICA contributions. I was guaranteed health care coverage for the rest of my life. I will not allow the UFT, the MLB, and the city government to deprive me of what I have paid into and continue to pay for each and every month via my Pension. These agencies have no right to take my health care away!!! I will continue to fight to receive my health care which I have paid for and continue to pay for.

Leitman Jacqueline (Great Neck, 2022-03-16)

We deserve access to good health care.

Leonard Rodberg (New York, 2022-03-16)

As an out of state retiree I don’t need any changes which will made it more difficult to access my health care plan

Maria Vitelli (Queens, 2022-03-16)

#3674

Don't take my Medicare Away. Do not Medicare Advantage. I never want to change my coverage. Don't charge me for my coverage I was promised when I Retired. I gave up alot of money for my coverage. That was our contract, small pension for coverage for life,I am 71 years old and I want what was promised to me.Mayor A don't take away what I was promised.

Stephen Samtur (Scarsdale, 2022-03-16)

#3688

We definitely want to preserve our current health plan. I worked for 30+ years and want to retain the benefits we were promised-

Glassberg Meryl (Lake Worth, 2022-03-16)

#3689

It would be wrong to make retirees pay $191 a month for the insurance that we have been promised and we have been receiving all along.

Randi Nadrich (West Hempstead , New York, 2022-03-16)

#3691

I am signing this petion because I beleive what the city is trying to do to the retirees is wrong. We were all told that benefits we are supposed to get in retirement were for the rest of our lives and could not be mest with unless we voluntarily changed the health insurance part of our retirement benefits.

Burt Siegel (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

martha bordman (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

I am signing this petition because the fourteen (14) doctors my husband and I use will not accept Medicare Advantage Plans. Bit’s imperative I stay with GHI Senior Plan which they are affiliated.

Luz Celeste Sierra (Fort Myers, Florida, 2022-03-16)

#3697

I worked for 34 years and feel that what I need as a retiree is being jeopardized by this proposed plan

Claire Litt (Boynton Beach, 2022-03-16)

#3698

There is no way we retirees will accept an inferior health insurance plan - that we are legally entitled to and worked for for 40 years!

Randy Soderman (McDonough , 2022-03-16)

I’m afraid to lose benefits I worked 25 years for.

John Mcnally (Brooklyn , 2022-03-16)

I do not want any form of medicare advantage plan. I've paid into medicare all these years and want to remain in traditional medicare.

Richard Alvarez (Farmingville , 2022-03-16)

Donna Ellswick (Quogue, 2022-03-16)

#3706

I CANNOT AFFORD THE CHANGE IN MY HEALTH CARE, MEDICALLY OR FINANCIALLY. OUR CONTRACTS PROMISED THE SAME BENEFITS WE RETIRE WITH WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL DEATH.

MELISSA DELSON (BROOKLYN, NY, 2022-03-16)

#3707

No one should be forced in to this program that is unwanted, unwarranted and restricted. Not to mention this will also hurt retirees and their families

MARIA BERRY (BROOKLYN, 2022-03-16)

#3708

I like my medical plan as it is. The new medical advantage plan is no advantage at all. It’s the breaking of a promise made to all city retirees.

Please do NOT sign any appeals to the court’s decision.

What are YOU gonna do when you reach retirement age and find you’ve been betrayed by those you thought you could trust??

Rick Solomon (Bayside, 2022-03-16)

I would like to ask the mayor to let Judge Frank’s decision to stand.

Want to keep my previous plan

Ruth Aptacker (Valley Stream, 2022-03-16)

#3715

I’m signing this because I devoted 21 years and 13 days to NYC with the promise of a pension and better than adequate healthcare for the rest of my life. This proposed MAP is not suitable to anyone who has any kind of chronic health issue. As a result of my service to the city I am saddled with health issues which are not and I repeat ARE NOT covered by any federal programs such as the WTC fund. This MAP would destroy me physically and financially.

Joanne Riggs (Belle Harbor, 2022-03-16)

#3717

I worked for over Thirty years with and for NYC I had every right to assume the medical benefits ( Medicare) that I signed off on would be honored. To switch terms and condition at this time. When most of is( retirees) are on fixed incomes is atrocious and hard hearted.

Evelyn Brown (Brown, 2022-03-16)

#3718

I want my coverage that I promised

Stephen McParland (Ronkonkoma, 2022-03-16)

#3720

I am signing because I want to maintain the health insurance that I have and which my wife has needed in the past two years.

Jerome Krase (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

#3722

I feel after all these years of service and having the same coverage and doctors I want to keep my coverage and doctors Let the old guard keep it and change the new hires to the MAP. This was foisted upon us with no regard to whether we could keep our doctors and get the treatments we may require. Do the right thing NYC.

Alice Hecht-Soliman (jacksonville, 2022-03-16)

#3723

I dont want to be cast aside. I need health care to continue to live. I believe we all earned this Health Plan and dont want others following to lose it also. We ALL sacrificed time and money for this right.

john Emilio (Bath , 2022-03-16)

#3738

I can’t afford to accept an inferior plan with my husbands and my medical conditions. Most of my doctors will not accept the plan. It will be a financial hardship if the City imposes a penalty of $193 a person to keep our current plan.

Jeanne Gaspin (Boynton Beach, 2022-03-16)

Retirees deserve the medical care they were promised.

The importance of this issue and the City's support of its' long standing promises to its' former employees and current retirees.

Joan Simon Faulkner (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

#3743

The MAP Program will limit care for retired workers. All privatized healthcare has profit as the primary goal.

Denise Fryburg (New York, 2022-03-16)

#3745

Privatizing Medicare means denial of care. We were promised regular Medicare and should not be penalized for wanting to keep it.

JOHN ELFRANK-DANA (Woodstock, 2022-03-16)

We, who served this city for the bulk of our lives deserve the respect we earned.

I’m retired!!

stephen paige (New york, 2022-03-16)

#3749

My Medicare should not be threatened and I shouldn’t have to pay a penalty to keep it. Why did you pick on retirees to make money for the city.?

Barbara Tringali (Brooklyn, 2022-03-16)

#3754

I’m signing because we, nyc retiree, have worked and earned our current health plan. The medical (dis)advantage plan is inferior in many ways to the plan I currently have.

Edith Capobianco (Naples, FL, 2022-03-16)

#3756

I do not want to loose my benefits etc.
All you politicians are covered for life, what about the little people??

Liisa Wolkenbrod (Ft Myers, 2022-03-16)

#3759

I think what the city and the union heads did to us is illegal, unconscionable and shows that there was no thought to asking the union members how they felt.

Florence Goldberg (Delray Beach, Florida , 2022-03-16)

#3762

This is what was promised

Maureen Manning (New york, 2022-03-16)

#3765

The MAPP health care plan is a privatized Medicare plan that is inferior to Traditional Medicare with GHI Senior Care or any other supplemental offered which is what was promised to me for life. That’s the health care I want to keep.

Tina Kaplan (Coral Springs, 2022-03-16)

#3767

What was done to retirees is shameful! How do you go after the people that need you the most!

Rhonda Gold (Staten Island, 2022-03-16)

#3777

I don’t want privatized Medicare coverage and I can’t afford the additional premium I would be charged to keep the coverage I have.

#3784

I signed on to my position in the NYPD with the understanding I would have a free Medicare supplemental plan upon my retirement. I upheld my oath I ask that the City of New York uphold its promises. Please do not diminish my benefits I have worked for and we’re promised. Thank you.

Laurie Carson (Harbeson , 2022-03-16)

#3786

I have the right to keep the plan I opted for when I retired. Retired people should not be penalized because the city needs money.

Marilyn Bloch (Nyc, 2022-03-16)

#3788

I have already changed my health care plan to Aetna, the new advantage Plus plan had to many unanswered question, along with copay’s and pre approval in many procedures.

Nancy Dweck (Tenafly, 2022-03-16)

#3793

The plan they are offering is inferior to what we have now! When we took the job in the city we were promised to have the plan we have now indefinitely! We worked for less money than the private
sector, knowing that we would have health coverage with no premiums! What a terrible inhumane situation to give to RETIREES!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡

Michael J Bohan (Pearl Ruver, NY, 2022-03-16)

#3795

I am signing this because I am retired with a wife and 3 children on this plan . I can not afford another plan , I was promised the plan I have for life by the city of New York .

Steven Sarno (Long Beach, 2022-03-16)

#3796

As Retirees we should be able to keep our traditional medicare and current plans without cost as promised.

Linda Tavolaro (Oceanside, 2022-03-16)

#3798

Breaking the city's agreement with retirees by removing them from Medicare (which we paid into all our lives), and replacing it with privatized a for-profit insurance scheme to balance the city's budget is hitting at people who have little ability to resist corrupt city and union leaders. But we are resisting, and the courts favored our argument. Stop pursuing this shameless abuse!
