Retired New York City employees scored a major victory on Tuesday, after a judge sided with advocates in a major decision affecting the health care of thousands of city dwellers.got the ruling in the state’s Appellate Court, which dealt a blow to a proposal that would transition city retirees onto a private Medicare Advantage Plan, rather than keep them on their current government-funded plans.
Advocates with the Organization of Public Service Retirees contend that the switch would not provide the same health care benefits, while offering lesser choices for health care providers.Those savings would come in part by levying a $192 monthly fee in order for retirees to stick with their normal Medicare coverage, rather than taking the Advantage plan.
