What about spouses with better benefits? Not just a military vs civilian thingy. My captain uses his wife's healthcare. It's way way better than any of us get now. I need to get a sugar mommy....

Hoser,

I kept my FDX insurance when I came to DAL......my RETIREE health insurance was far better, and much cheaper than DAL active insurance.....hard to believe.

Regards,
BG

Most company's are probably going to do what UPS has done. If your spouse can get health care though their employer they will either force you to drop them or pay a premium for it. My wife's play is 175 per pay period (26 per year) if I can get coverage. Makes her better plan senseless and they know it.

Or, we need push back on Obama and make sure this abortion doesn't go through. Nothing political here. When our govt passes a bill that is so revolutionary without reading it or absorbing the negative impacts to the nation, industry, honest taxpayers, etc, its wrong. When UPS and DAL release press about their objection....huge red flag.

Oh, Obamacare will go away, its the associated tax hikes that won't.

I don't understand that. Assuming you are talking about health insurance alone, why exactly would military guys that don't use the company plan be a huge advantage to Delta?

Didn't the Heritage Foundation come up with the concept of Obamacare like 24 years ago?

Well, we're talking about health care and Delta's claim that Obamacare will cost another $100 million alone. Military retires who chose other options like TRICARE (which is now also UHC) cost Delta nothing. If you believe Delta's assertion, military guys are saving Delta big bucks.
