Just When I Need It the Most

My Health Insurance has changed, unexpectedly and without notice.  From my retirement date in 2006 until November 1, 2012, my coverage was ideal, compensating for the years of low salary, no vacation or holiday pay, and zero sick leave.  The  Teachers' Union to which I belong has opened a grievance, but resolution will probably be far off, and not guaranteed to be favorable.  Ironically, except for the year of 2003, when I was still actively contributing to my health insurance, my claims have been  relatively few.  But now I'm one of those needy and sickly senior citizens, as my claims this year are sure to attest.   Even with the changes and increased financial responsibility, the policy is still pretty good though, so I won't have to cut my pills in half to save money.   Thank heaven and/or Obama for Medicare.
