Reply to comment by danroman79 in NYC Council has no plan to pass bill that would let Mayor Adams charge retired city workers for health care: ‘It’s dead’ by F_T_N_32
People waste time trying to argue why someone else should have less, without ever stopping to ask if we all deserve basic human dignities like medical care or retirement

OMG some people parrot the same lines over and over again without critical thought or reading. I am not proposing the workers don't have Healthcare. I am proposing they just have the same government funded Healthcare that is good enough and every other American in the country.
Why does NYC have to pay for lifetime Healthcare when a the federal government will pay the bill.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe retirees do go on Medicare at 65, and the city pays the 20% that Medicare doesn't cover.

This was negotiated with concessions from the union side. To now come in and take that away is ridiculous. The same deal would t have been reached if the employees knew this benefit was bullshit.
