Wesley, before the bankruptcy, the C of D pension fund gave me a monthly check of around 2k [[after 29 years, during which I contributed 5% of my pay).

However, they were paying BC-BS $800 a month [[and change) for health care insurance for me and my wife [[$250 a month was taken from my check as my contribution). Now they are paying $115 a month for a much-reduced program with BC BS.

These are my real-life figures. I would call that a big win for the City; a kick in the behind for me. Fortunately, wife and I are enjoying good health in our late 70's.
