But thanks for carrying the company's water and lowering expectations... again.
Amazing. You collect FPL from the pilots...only to defend and aid the company, and undermine our prospects for the great contract we demand. Absolutely disgusting. Why am I paying DALPA for this "service?"

Again. Do any of the above stories seem "reasonable" to you?

Regardless, DALPA is on the hot seat.

My experience has been completely different.
We use a lot of health care in my family. The HSA defines how much I'm going to spend each year (we hit the deductible and max out of pocket). I've not had any problems that a follow-up call to UHC or the ALPA benefits specialist didn't fix, and I've only had to make about 1 of those per year. Considering the amount we cost in health care it seems like a reasonable check and balance. The continuous Ingenix subrogation letters are a pain, but they've never denied a claim.

UHC is a good healthcare provider, but our options are so dang limited under the plans we have and there's so much out of pocket... it's ridiculous. I was excited when I got hired and saw UHC... but it's been a big disappointment.
Even worse that I know you're on the inside at ALPA...

I expect someody who changed his screenname from Kochblauch to have issues, but you generally think a little better than this.

Everything you wrote above carries its own contradiction, and for good cause: you're defending the indefensible. It's like reading a communiqué from the political commissar, stating he doesn't think comrade Stalin's personel policies are too harsh.

One guy pointed out that tubes in his kids ears cost $2800. One of my kids entire medical care cost $2300 (Diamond HSA) last year. The family cost $4500 out of pocket (plus premiums). Everything after that was free, along with all preventive care. The HSA has a tax deduction, so net of that I paid about $300 per month total for a family that spent in the 5 digits for the year.

I totally disagree with your conclusion on our healthcare options, though. It's been nothing but a big disappointment, and I hope the coming negotiations bring some much needed improvements (like in many areas). Your views on these very lacking options don't give me much confidence in that, though.

Those are last year's numbers. You are obviously aware, but failed to state, that the out-of-pocket max on the HSA Platinum plan increased $1500, (33%) for 2012.
You just asserted that we are "contractually protected" from that in Section 25. You are clearly not engaging us in good faith.
