You are kidding right? If you are refering to the $1500 that is in my HRA as a part of the ****ty medical program we have, it is a joke. I pay $400 a month for the Gold HRA and Delta Dental plan. For that I get a wopping, $1500 to cover the first 8 maybe 10 visits to the doc....if I'm lucky and no one got hurt or really sick.
Medical cost have run rampant, not only at DAL, but in the country as a whole. The only way to start to real this in is to make the companies themselves cover these cost. They are the ones that can supply the amount of "pressure" needed on Congress and each other to get this problem fixed!
Back on point...the money in our medical plans should never be considered part of our compensation.
