While I might be able to say I am reasonably happy with my *current* health care alternatives, I must admit I am very afraid of what *could* happen. If my company dropped my retiree insurance, what would I do? It could be tough for some of us to get affordable coverage, depending upon pre-existing conditions.
As you should be. And it's not just limited to company retiree insurance. I had private insurance with a major company, who decided to exit the individual insurance business and canceled all its existing policies. Since I had developed some "pre-exisitng" conditions I could only get a last resort BC/BS guaranteed-issue policy, which more than doubled my premium. IMO, this is the sort of thing that shouldn't happen.
