If what I read was accurate, apparently the post office does make money....billions of dollars a year. Yet they are required to account for 75 years of pre and post retiree medical benefits in a ten year period (unlike any other company or agency), so it appears that they have massive losses. About 25% of post 65 retirees don't even use Medicare as their primary health insurance, which adds huge expenses.

Which begs the question, how hard is it to get a postal service job? I wonder if I can get a job with the postal service after I retire (before age 60) and get those postal medical benefits for life?
