Justin Brannan Did Not Support Legislation to Stop the NYC Retirees From Having Their Healthcare Changed
Councilman Charles Barron and other NYC Council Members including Alexa Aviles, Inna Vernikov and Ari Kagan have a bill to protect the health care of NYC Retirees. (See the bill)
Councilman Justin Brannan has not co-sponsored the bill and is on the list below of Council members who don’t support retirees!
Brannan used to support unions. Now seniors are fighting for the right to keep the keep the healthcare plan that they worked many years to get!
250,000 NYC retirees are being forced to a new healthcare plan and Justin Brannan is #Silent.
NYC Retirees are not getting a choice of Medicare Advantage or traditional Medicare. Retirees living in other states have it the worst because many doctors won’t accept the plan. There needs to be the traditional Medicare and a supplemental option. I’m surprised Justin Brannan would think that as fair for the former NYC workers!!
The retirees have called on Brannan to take action and co-sponsor the bill. Let’s see if he supports union workers!
NYT Health shared that Medicare Advantages has a limited number of psychiatrists in network.
NYC spent nine million dollars on sending out surveys about mental health (there is a $5.00 bill in the envelope) and participants receive $20 for filling out the survey. (Story here) Now they can’t fund the retirerees healthcare?
