Letters: Not so much health insurance choice for retirees
This is regarding the article in the paper Aug. 4 on Ramsey County retirees being notified by Health Partners that they plan no longer serving patients with UnitedHealthCare. I would disagree with one point made late in the article: the comments saying that the retirees have a choice and can go elsewhere to get their insurance. As a City of St. Paul retiree that is not true for me. If I take on an insurance plan or insurance supplement on my own, I permanently lose my retirement health coverages currently received through the city. I am bound to take whatever plan the city chooses. For some, getting their own insurance may be a viable option but for most retirees that is not the case. We are not given an opportunity to choose what health insurance plan we are in. If we opt out of the offered plan, it is permanent. We cannot get coverage back once we leave the plan.
