My job isn't all sunshine you know. Yeah it's all good now. But the stick comes out when I go to retire. I get a pension for life. I get medical from age 54 to 65. But therein lays the rub. They only give so much money towards the health premiums. Anything beyond that gets sucked outta your pension. Which you don't want to happen. Essentially uh going by today's dollars I'd be forking a decent part of my pension to cover me and my wife just for the health coverage. The solution? Get insurance via private plan. They'd still give me so much per month to cover health premiums which would leave my pension untouched. Ironically if I'd got on a year earlier I'd have been covered under the old system. That system; you retire. The state picks up the cost of medical 100% till age 65.
