I have no intention to debate the value of the product. As with any insurance, it was a great bet if you wound up needing it, and a waste of money if you didn't. I know that sounds facetious, but let's face it, any insurance is nothing more than a slightly sophisticated legalized gambling scheme.

My concern is the same committee that needs to raise premiums 131% were the same folks who told us our health care insurance cost increases would be reasonable, and The Company couldn't afford to improve our "A" Plan.


Just trust 'em. The Monthly Administration Fee that ALPA keeps didn't go up.

Oh, and would more people please participate, and fewer people use the benefit, so we can lower the rates in the future, please?
