Retired City Workers in NYC Will Expect Changes in Health Insurance Following Downgraded Medicare Deal
Eligible retired city workers will expect changes in health insurance following the downgraded Medicare deal in New York City.
According to reports from New York Post, the downgraded healthcare insurance will help the city save millions every year, which can be used to fund more programs allocated to help retired city workers, especially those not provided with the right healthcare benefits.
However, the downgraded healthcare plan will introduce stricter rules, which will reportedly lessen the healthcare coverage received by retired city workers, especially those who need medical benefits.
