PSC has imagined it, at least, and predicts there will be tiers of care. Some places will cost a lot more than others. Mulgrew rejected it, he says, because it contained premiums. However, he specifically agreed to them as a possibility. I believe he's trying to delay it until after the UFT election, so as to preserve the patronage mill. Here's the PSC link.
“🎼Imagine there’s no Mulgrew, Adams and MLC! Imagine there’s no bombs like Aetna and the rest. Imagine there’s a Union who puts the members first. No corruption, stealing or lies. Imagine all the promises made were kept. Imagine we had a Union where Seniors had Medicare and a choice of supplemental. Imagine we could convince Media, Council and City folk we did our best. No punishments, no stress and no more appeals! YES just Imagine”
Couldn’t help it, Arthur, after reading your article John Lennon’s song kept running through my head! Thank you for another great article of truth!
Thanks Kathy. I do think the MLC could be a good tool, IF it were focused on improving, rather than worsening conditions for members. Of course, you're absolutely correct that's certainly not what they do now.
After the current leaders are replaced will the winners fight for Medicare for all or just for retirees ? You offer a devastating critique of the current leadership but the retirees don’t need convincing. Yes Medicare is better than GHI. Why is the current leadership so wedded to private insurance and will the new leadership chart a different course for both retirees and working members?
Imagine demanding to see the new health care plan the City and MLC will be offering in-service members prior to the election.
