I defunded retiree health plan. I ended their #medicare . I don’t care I increased their costs or can’t see their doctors. I told them it’s cheaper it’s not. I told them they will have better benefits they won’t. 😜 my name is Eric Adams @NYCMayor and I don’t care you served NYC

This. Because the @NYCMayor thinks we are stupid. Rides to a Dr that doesn’t accept the plan. A gym pass in exchange for a quality cancer specialist. You don’t need that transplant specialist here’s a wellness incentive🤬 THIS IS GREED & ELDER ABUSE

@ArthritisSTL @stucknation @WorkBitesNews @NycRetirees @NYCMayor @MedicareGov @Aetna @BeaHero @RedBeretsM4All The Mayor’s spokesperson issued the most condescending,, ageist statement. Allowing unions to negotiate away retiree benefits (to fund raises to their active members), when we are not covered by them, is EXACTLY why this mess arose. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽

To NYC Council- YOU can fix this. Mary Pinkett and Peter Vallone were always there for us. We need our modern day hero’s. Don’t make us spend our small pensions to protect ourselves from mayoral greed when you can do this now and end the stress and anxiety seniors have over this

Brooklyn residents being heard by @CMAriKagan47 that their Drs will not accept the Aetna Medicare Disadvantage plan being shoved down our throats by a System of greed. will @JustinBrannan find money in the budget to keep us on Medicare? Like has been since 1967 with 12-126?

Here’s more #facts you should have got from us @BrianLehrer @clewisreports Once in #medicareadvantage you might not be able to get back to #medicare . Under 65 disabled retirees in other states can’t get a medigap others will be charged so much it would be prohibitive

@NYCCouncil @Lynn4NYC And this is why having traditional Medicare is so important! Because many specialists, including hospitals, do not except Medicare advantage. And we have Retirees undergoing cancer treatment and transplants, whose doctors and hospitals don’t except Aetna disadvantage plan.

Lol. #sundaySchool 😂 NYC labor needs strong smart leaders. Sadly, if you’re ok. With selling off retired labor to enrich yourself… it’s time for education. But don’t look at @UFT Michael Mulgrew, he got left back when he negotiated a raise on the backs of all workers &retirees

Because the @uft started lying about the pot of money leadership took was “fungible” now gaslighting that the bill to protect retirees from their own former unions robbing them blind is illegal. UFT needs new leadership #BigLie protect retirees sign #intro1099

And let’s remind Tom Murphy @UFT in 2001 you came to the hearing on Intro 580A uninvited & sat with Sandra Merch who read @rweingarten testimony to support retirees. You can’t support a retiree benefit then and say affirming a 60 yr old benefit is illegal now. @NycRetirees

Yes we have retirees in rural areas, this came from one. The @NYCMayor plan only requires 51% to be in a network area. We already know if coverage deserts. Protect traditional #medicare

@UFT Your unchecked power has you committing all unions and retirees to slashing health costs by 10% this year. You don’t slash a cost and increase benefits right Mikey?

@CnDelarosa CM, by you NOT stopping the Medicare Advantage plan, YOU are doing the same thing as Bob. Aetna shouldn’t profit off retirees and you shouldn’t be letting them at the expense of our lives and earned health benefits

A @TWULocal100 retiree on @aetna #Medicare Dis-Advantage Option 2 is waiting since 9/27 for #priorauthorization for gel shot to treat #RA . if he was on traditional Medicare he would have been treated on 9/28. @ArthritisSTL sounds familiar? Our patients are suffering for #greed

@katie_honan @NYCMayor . @NYCMayor steals #medicare from our retirees & continues to appeal his losses in Court when facts show #medicare DisAdvantage plans are inferior to Traditional Medicare & our retirees would be harmed. There are no savings, costs are higher & Drs don’t accept it. He ignores facts

This is criminal behavior that a labor union would use members dues to advocate against former union members to force them into an inferior plan while sitting on the board of an organization like this

And so you are aware @UFANYC @UFOA854 @UFT @DC37nyc THE PROVIDERS DONT HAVE TO ACCEPT AETNA! And reimbursement is subject to aetna determining it’s medically necessary and if NOT, it’s not included in the Max out of pocket you tout. #yourescrewed
