One quotes of the reasons that IBM continues to cover survivors and retirees is because they were told they quotes had to by law. The IBM plant my father-in-law retired from is up in Essex Junction VT. When the company tried to curtail benefits (retirees/survivors) a couple of years ago they lost in court because it was deemed age discrimination by the VT courts. Medicare Part D removes that protection for retirees and survivors, it's no longer against the law to discriminate. What quotes will happen? I don't know. If we have to pay it's going to be roughly 10,000/yr. She won't take the money from us and she can't afford it herself. I found some excellent links: Kaiser Family Foundation Medicare Info For Vermonters Bernie's website click on Issues then Prescription Drugs. |

| But we're real worried that will change. Her hummus story is this: last winter she was diagnosed with CML - Chronic Myloid Leukemia, a blood cancer. Novartis makes a miracle drug called Gleevec. Those commercials you hear about Novartis driving cancer hummus into remission in only 30 days are true. My mother was deathly ill, after Gleevec she was not only in remission but completely "cancer free" in 4 months. No chemo, no radiation nothing but one little pill every morning with her breakfast for hummus the rest of her life. That's the good news, the bad news is Gleevec costs 225.00 per pill. Every day for the rest of her life. That's 82,000 per year. She's in good health otherwise. IBM doesn't provide her with health insurance (she went to medicare at 65 I think) but they do give her drug coverage. When she was diagnosed IBM got her onto a catastrophic plan and covers all/most of her expenses. She has to pay an extra premium for the catastrophic plan but compared to the cost of the drug it's an excellent deal. |
