Is there a mercy rule in College Bowl Games? :eek:

Evidently not.

How about a mercy rule with PBS? Or MDs? Or MD-88s? :D

If we don't contractually protect our medical plans the premiums are going to go out of sight and kill some of our pay gains. By the way, we need things other than HSA's - not everyone is eligible for those plans (mainly retired military ARE NOT eligible for any HSA plan).

Totally agree. The HRA didn't change much from last year. We definitely need to get something in the contract. DPMP is a joke.

I changed over to the PPO-A as of 1 January. It will be interesting how that goes- it is a MUCH lower deductible for about 10 more bucks a month.

No one else seems to use it for some reason. I never liked the idea of an HSA- at least the way you have to do it at DL. I abhorred the HRA Gold... everything ended up being crazy out of pocket.

Hey guys,

This is a deviation from our norm here but I want to take the time to tell you fellow Delta brothers and sisters how proud I am to be a part of this team and this family. I flew the red eye from LAX to MCO this morning and went to bed at the hotel. In the meantime, my mother-in-law, whose only 59, had a stroke in Northern California. While she was being medevac'ed to San Fran for surgery, the CPSC called and woke me up in my room. They pulled me off my rotation, listed me for a DH home, and sent a crew van to the hotel to pick me up. When I got to the jet, the CA and crew were waiting for me, boarded me and fed me. I'm flying home right now and have no idea how things are going at the hospital but I'm so proud of Delta right now. Thanks to all you guys and prayers for my wife's mom please!

FOr some reason, DAL likes to push the GOLD. I honestly think the best deal is PPOA, unless you dont go to the doctors at all.

Good Choice 80!

PS Buzzzzzz, we are praying! EGBOK!
