No, I have no copy, I haven't read the TA, I'm basing my vote solely on who can sway me here on APC. I mean, the posters here are so friendly and have only the best things to say about each other. Honest unbiased opinions well thought out with no touch of emotion. All comments based on fact as to be irrefutable. But Policywonk seems to be the voice of reason, so whatever he says, is what I'm going to do. I mean after all, we can fly draft on vacation, can't we?

This, without a doubt is the best post since the AIP/TA was announced.

I was serious, appendix B section 27 has the options for the retiree plan. Essentially retirees have the same options as non retirees. Costs seem to be split about the same. Tell me what your plan is and I'll figure your costs for a fee. Sorry if my response was not taken in the same levity as all of the other post today about costs in other threads.

Thanks for supplying your numbers. And you also have the $25,000 HRA to help defray rising costs. The rest of us Retiree wannabes, not so much.

Nope, i did not mean to imply that. It certainly depends is the answer. There are a lot of options, and a lot of situations, and lots of different prices. Me I'm going with some sort of CDHP.

Your plan will cost about 18000 bucks. The company will pay about $9600, you will owe the rest. Buy me a year of bidx and we will call it even. When the Pelosi tax kicks in you will owe a lot more. Get a High Deductable plan and use that $9600 to pay expenses. I slept in a Holiday Inn Express once.

The buy-up plan for a retiree and spouse in 2015 cost the retiree $13,728/yr($1144/mo). Those numbers are from the ALPA retirement seminar.
If your numbers are even remotely close, meaning the premiums will actually be 38% lower under the TA...I would think the NC would have a dozen or so slides showing how they negotiated a major decrease in rates for retirees. Don't you?
The numbers just don't add up.
