What are non-medical services for disability? Taxi rides, housekeepers, someone to bath you? I'm just asking. A benefit of $50 a day for a nonmedical disability? What does that mean? Voluntary payroll deductions? How much is the "voluntary" deduction for a five year vesting period?

It says that workers can enroll in a national insurance program and it will be deducted from their payroll. For us already retired people who do not work, this is a moot point.
In fact quite a few of the points do not address the already retired people. And for us that have health insurance and a prescription plan through our retirement package, there are even less points to cover us.
This is why I was against the health plan. They screwed with 100% of the people to cover about 20% of the people if my memory serves me right.
