We can’t control what others do and we can’t stop misfortune from striking. But we can control our own actions. Those who are financially prudent will most likely enjoy success, even if events don’t always go their way.
What your employer is planning to do with your health care benefits
The following chart is a summary of an employer survey conducted by the consulting firm of Towers Watson. Pay close attention to the items I marked with the dot
These are the main items with the strong potential of lowering your coverage and raising your out-of-pocket costs.
I continue to enjoy reading your commentaries. I don’t know where you find the time.
I have a question for you. I pay PS about $3400 per year for BC/BS Indemnity $1500/$3000 80%/20%, also including dental and prescriptions. Since I went on Medicare, I have never received any significant reimbursements from them above what Medicare is paying, even in very heavy use years. Are there catastrophic situations I’m not aware of where this insurance is essential?
Like always, your comments are great. I have lost your phone number and address. Please phone me with your phone number and current address. In addition, please give me John Bolland’s phone number and address.

Hope to see you at the Old Guard in June.
