Shame on IBM
My friend, Barbara, is the widow of a retired IBM employee whose retirement package included health care insurance for life for Barbara.
She was most distressed to learn that IBM was casting her adrift to fend for herself in the ObamaCare marketplace.
She is still trying to find out how much money she will be receiving from IBM to pay for the supplemental health insurance since Medicare is primary for her.
From what I read on the internet the number of choices a person may have to select from varies by county. Blue Cross Blue Shield is the only insurer that says they will offer coverage in all counties. We still don't know what other options she will have as a resident of Marion county.
And, of course we don't know what levels of coverage will be offered or what the monthly premium will be.
Alas............................ and shame on IBM for casting retirees adrift.
