(The proposed bill text is in the pledge). The time is now, to protect retirees like the Council said they wanted to.  Retirees were promised a choice of premium free healthcare, what is happening is a breach of contract. Retirees gave up wages for the promise of choices of premium free healthcare. The current unions are negotiating for the now, and aren't thinking about their current members futures and what that means. The Aetna Medicare Advantage plan puts the decision of a retired workers' health in the hands of an insurance company and NOT a medical professional. NYC should live up to its promise.  The Council legislated Admin Code 12-126 and all amendments were championed by the City Council to protect retirees.  The time to act is NOW! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/pledge-to-support-nyc-retirees-proposed-health-care-bill
