Reply to comment by Myotherside in NYC Council has no plan to pass bill that would let Mayor Adams charge retired city workers for health care: ‘It’s dead’ by F_T_N_32

OMG some people parrot the same lines over and over again without critical thought or reading. I am not proposing the workers don't have Healthcare. I am proposing they just have the same government funded Healthcare that is good enough and every other American in the country.

Why does NYC have to pay for lifetime Healthcare when a the federal government will pay the bill.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe retirees do go on Medicare at 65, and the city pays the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover.

This was negotiated with concessions from the union side. To now come in and take that away is ridiculous. The same deal would t have been reached if the employees knew this benefit was bullshit.
