Protecting 250,000 retirees healthcare #medicare from being diminished & privatized. 9/11 responders/survivors, LOD widows/widowers Medicare DisAdvantage is the default in #project2025. Retirees are not in unions & they shouldn’t have taken our healthcare

Imagine An org you have no membership in because you’re retired sells off your healthcare to create a cash flow for a fund they misused. In 2025 the MLC admitted to the Comptroller they did this knowing it wouldn’t solve their problem, only buy them time. Retirees need legislation to protect us

#NYCRetirees are being used to pay for workers raises. We need #ZohranMamdani
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov
@nycaging.bsky.social
to agree to finally meet with us. He is concerned about #affordability, well his inner circle is making our lives un-affordable. #LetsTalk

#nycretirees needs the City Council to protect us. #ZohranMamdani also needs to finally agree to meet with us. He should know he cannot fight an affordability crisis that his own inner circle is caused unless he hears about it from the victims of it. @mayor.nyc.gov @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Morning Julie. He might have more supporters among @nycretirees if he finally agreed to meet with us & discuss our healthcare & affordability crisis. We’ve been ignored & we ran this city. I lead over 300k retirees & can’t get a meeting

I recommend that Dagen Mcdowell of FoxBusiness meet with me, Sallie & Neal so she can learn how we paid for healthcare & why we cannot afford more costs. Sallie should NOT be getting 1/2 prescriptions or eating potatoes & onions. She has a $12k pension. She can't pay more.

What is a Public Union Fiduciary Responsibility
What is a Public Union Fiduciary Responsibility YouTube video by NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees Inc

What is a #union #welfarefund #fiduciary? WE break it down and they MUST protect your private health data and not sell it off for $100,000,000. The #MLC lied to the leaders again. That is NOT #solidarity. They used us. youtu.be/7KobHow-JZQ

NYC employees/Retirees, did you know that your & your families private health data is being leveraged in collective-bargaining for $100 million? Even if you’re non union/ managerial? Join me Monday 5 pm when we discuss this with Matthew Weber & Ellen Rieser! Work-Bites too! wbai.org/listen-live/

Still getting fees at NYC M Social- a hidden “charitable donation” you don’t get advised about at check-in, and if you tell them not to charge you, they’ll do it anyway the day after you check out & you have to fight to get it reversed

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social @governor.ca.gov Chat w/me about Medicare fraud. Our retirees tried to get Medicare to stop this & were provided little assistance - THOUSANDS of $ recurring fraud. Two DIFFERENT NYC retirees but TWO unknown FT LAUDERDALE FL Providers filing fraudulent claims.

Now you should look at hidden donation they collect. The M Social/Millenium has been doing this for years & they don’t ask or notify you. You only find it if you get an itemized bill & you have to fight to get the fee removed

CMS Paying More for Medicare Advantage Patients Compared to Traditional Enrollees Difference in spending attributed to 'coding intensity' and 'favorable selection'

in the great words of @wendellpotter.bsky.social #MedicareAdvantage is Not #Medicare or an advantage & @NycRetirees should not be forced into it.

Mayor Mamdani should protect the medical benefits of retired municipal workers in NYC We urge Mayor Mamdani to move the health benefits of NYC away from the Medicare Advantage program.

www.amny.com/editorial/ma...
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov "Medicare Advantage only enriches bad-faith private companies. It is antithetical to the pro-labor, inclusive environment that Mayor Mamdani is seeking to establish at City Hall."

Municipal workers accepted lower pay & benefits for decades in exchange for a pension and healthcare.
You don’t get to change the deal after the work is done & we retired because it forces us into a man-made affordability crisis.

@NycRetirees
warned union leadership & City Council about the fund. Those warnings were dismissed. The MLC knew & misled everyone. The audit confirms retirees were right.
@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

There was misuse of taxpayer $ by the #MLC & Mayors #OLR for decades #FACTS

Warnings → Dismissal → Misuse → Insolvency → Healthcare Cuts

This crisis did not happen overnight.
@NYCretirees
sounded the alarms. If we had been respected & heard, this could have been prevented. Do you believe us now?

We asked for audits.
We asked for transparency.
We were dismissed.
The audit shows why listening mattered.
