6. Not necessarily true.......
this could possibly be the beginning of the end of Health Care for retirees.......I've seen this before...Example About 10 years ago retirees of the United Rubber Workers saw their health care benefits decline and actually were required to pay a portion of those costs..Little by little those(premium) costs increased and now they have minimum coverage if any with no prescription coverage or with co payments and premiums so high they give it up.I cant say with any certainty that this will be the case with GM employees but it is following a pattern of other union retirees being left behind in the contracts shuffle.
