Looks like more "benefits" of Obamacare.

Quote:Duke Energy, the nation’s largest electric utility, became the latest corporation to opt for ending a longstanding company practice of insuring its retirees, a cost-saving approach already embraced by IBM, Time Warner, Caterpillar, General Electric, DuPont and many others.

Remember the LIAR Barack Hussein Obama saying "If you like your insurance you can keep it"? Well you can except when you get dropped.

Let the Have Obamacare

Waiting for the left to call Duke Energy greedy.

Remember, this has nothing -- NOTHING!! -- to do with ObamaCare.

I understand from my Dad that BB&T is removing itself from the insurance business. He is waiting to see what happens to his retirement health care benefits.

I find that really hard to belive. Insurance sales provide that company was SOOOOOOO much noninterest income.

I used to work for that bank about a decade ago. Maybe they are changing employee/retiree insurance, but I highly doubt they are getting out of the insurance sales business.

I thought BB&T bought a Business Health Insurance provider several years ago maybe their exiting that business if they are in it.

Ill let yall know what I find out. My mother is adamant that he is getting ready to get f'd in this.

I dont know that it necessarily relates to this or to the BBT situation, but NC is soon to be pushing retirees to Medicare Advantage or a 70/30 plan instead of the usual 80/20.

There is no way, and I mean no way, liberals are on board with this except for not making Obama look more like a fool than he already is. Obamacre my ass.

70/30 is the usual plan in the Teachers and State Employees BCBS health insurance plan for current employees and retirees. The 80/20 plan is optional and costs about $22 more each month for an individual, considerably more for a family.
