Simple you made a promise now keep your promise. We don't get to change our mind when when we sign a contract, Why should you?

Would you let this happen to your other and father? Let people opt in,rather than opt out.Do the right
Thing Mr. Mayor,please.

Our healthcare was part of our retirement plan. I support all efforts to preserve it as originally offered.

Lydia Rosner (New York, 2022-03-14)

I need to keep GHI Senior Care at no extra cost.

Meryl Rubin (Queens, NY, 2022-03-14)

#2009

Six of the physicians on whom my husband and co-beneficiary and I rely for our care accept Medicare and GHI Senior Care but will not accept the NYC Medicare Advantage Plus Plan. We fear that the switch to Medicare Advantage will deprive us of the care of appropriate specialists and prevent our obtaining timely pre-authorization of necessary medical treatments and procedures.

Adina Schwartz (New York, 2022-03-14)

I want the city to obliged their resposibilities.

Toma Hiroki (Southport, 2022-03-14)

#2023

My benefits are more than adequate, as we worked many years, and gave at the bargaining table, in order to ensure that we can keep them.

Stephen Phillips (NYC, 2022-03-14)

#2025

I worked for29 years as a teacher in NYC making less money than surrounding areas in the tri-state areas. I did it for the promises given to us that we would have a pension and free good health care when I retired. I live in Western NC. None of the hospitals and/or doctors here will take the new Medicare Advantage program the city wants to force us into. They all take Medicare with theSenior Care supplement. The city needs to keep the promises that were made to us when we retired!!!

Maxine Fick (Asheville , 2022-03-14)

#2028

I don’t believe the city should change the terms of the health benefits to Medicare eligible retirees.

Daryl Moore (Baldwin, 2022-03-14)

#2029

I am totally disable from 9/11/01 and rely on my current healthcare to live.

Peter Blaich (Cornelius, 2022-03-14)

#2030

We were promised specific health care as retirees. In addition, it will be a financial hardship as we are on limited income.

Carmen Fulford (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2032

I want to keep my current Medicare health coverage.

Anita Rivman (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2038

I want to keep my current health care

Helen GOLDSTEIN (Rockaway Park, 2022-03-14)

#2047

I only want what was promised to me when I retired

Caesar Diane (Bayside, 2022-03-14)

#2048

I am close to 80 years of age and live on a fixed income. I worked hard for the city for 35 years of my life and contributed to social security and pension. I am still an active citizen

Rosalie Harman (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2049

I will support any group that protects the security of our health benefits. Thanks

Daniel Doll (Lincroft, 2022-03-14)

The City, by reneging on its contractual obligations, is damaging families (including mine) of people who worked hard for a long time in reliance on the City's good faith.

Peter D'Eustachio (New York, NY, 2022-03-14)

#2054

This advantage plan is not Medicare. Doctors are not obligated to take it. When ever did you get more for less.
Smoke and mirrors

Mark Giannini (Chesnee, 2022-03-14)

#2057

the Medicare Advantage Plus Program is greatly inferior to our Senior Care insurance and that was part of our contract!

Barbara Matthews (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2061

maintain my benefit that was given to me by contract and law for my 33 years of work.

luigi iocco (nassua, 2022-03-14)

#2067

Against MAP. Want to retain what I worked 42 years in city government for during my retirement years.

Candida Carcana (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2068

We were guaranteed this healthcare and now that we are in the back 9 of our lives when we will need it the most it is morally wrong to reduce our benefits. The city seems to take care of the illegal aliens who do not belong here better than the people who worked here and are legally entitled to our benefits.

Robert Orloff (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2070

I want to continue with my current insurance plan… Medicare. I haven’t found any doctors or hospitals where I live who have ever heard of the new Medical Advantage Plan. Therefore, my medical bills will skyrocket. I just want what I was promised when I became a NYC teacher.

Erica Strauss (Haymarket, 2022-03-14)

#2073

I have been with Aetna for over 30 years. All my doctors are Aetna doctors and I receive excellent care from them. I have already received notification from a few that they will not participate in the NYC Medicare Advantage Plus Plan. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

LYNN HENDRICKSON (PALM COAST, 2022-03-14)

#2074

I believe all Americans, NYC retirees included, should have a free choice of Medicare + a medigap policy OR Medicare Advantage. I note when given such a choice, 0% or retirees select Medicare + medigap.

James Collins (Cleveland, 2022-03-14)

#2075

I want to keep the benefits I was promised.

Doris Vershleiser (Brooklyn , 2022-03-14)

#2076

My doctors accept my present health care. Aetna

William H. Blenk (Wilmington N.C., 2022-03-14)

#2079

I'm signing because this change is unfair and goes against our contract with NYC. It is an illegal attempt at trying to trick retirees into thinking this plan would better their health insurance. This is an outright lie and we are going to prove it.

Antoinetta Lombardi (Bronx, 2022-03-14)

#2080

Ive been rail roaded. This insurance is neither acceptable to me, nor my Doctors.
It STINKS

joseph notaro (Staten Island, 2022-03-14)

#2082

I believe we should be able to maintain the insurance we have had all along without having to pay for it as was collectively bargained.

Victoria Armas (Cold Spring, 2022-03-14)

#2083

Dear Mayor Adams,
I respectfully request that you don’t appeal
Judge Frank’s decision dated March 3,2022
concerning our health plan . I pray for you every day, hopefully you’ll consider my request. God bless you.

Theresa Ricci (1407 Allerton Avenue Bronx NY 10469, 2022-03-14)

#2084

I feel the plan has been rammed down our throats without giving us real alternatives.

Mollyann Tabachnikov (Lanesborough, 2022-03-14)

#2086

I am worried because of the increased out of pocket expense for my cancer treatment that I’ve been advised I would have.

Mark Pohl (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2090

I don’t want MAPP, so please stop the appeal

Barbara Vella (NY, 2022-03-14)

#2092

I'm signing because I have multiple health issues and need the flexibility to choose my doctors. My husband's doctors do not take any MAPP plans.

Andrea Sonntag (Saint Cloud, 2022-03-14)

#2093

I don’t want the mayor to appeal the judge’s decision regarding MAP.

Grace Hintz de Park (New H, 2022-03-14)

#2098

I want the mayor to see how life altering his decision will be for me and all of the other NYC retirees that have given so much to the city of NY.

Nancy Lombardo (Ocala, 2022-03-14)

#2101

I believe the City of New York made a commitment to its workforce regarding health benefit coverage and must honor it

Barbara Markowitz (Bayside, 2022-03-14)

#2102

As a 2x cancer survivor, once during my teaching career and a recurrence in retirement, my healthcare is of the utmost importance. I don’t need a gym membership. I need my doctors to be free from insurance co constraints.

Gail Ehrlich (Mount Vernon, 2022-03-14)

#2103

I’m a retiree and I need my Medical Benefits.

Sylvia Gibbs Richburg (Alpharetta, 2022-03-14)

I want to preserve my health care benefits that were promised to me at retirement.

Retirees shout NOT be forced into a privatized Medicare advantage plan.

Neal Frumkin (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2110

We need our current options, and NOT an advantage plan.

Madeline Augonnet (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2111

I prefer to remain in my existing health coverage that I chose as my retirement benefit
And I know the providers securely.

Mike Chierico (Babylon , 2022-03-14)

#2112

This would severely impact my healthcare negatively as well as decrease my pension (calculated in 1982) significantly

Joseph Gannon (Tappan, 2022-03-14)

#2114

The City is attempting to water down the medical benefits of retirees on limited pensions and impose a $200 month penalty for those who wish to retain their Senior Care program.

Raymond Frasene (Ft. Pierce, 2022-03-14)

#2115

I should not have to loose my health benefits which were put into effect by collective bargain, the city should not be able to renege on this issue!!

Gene Savino (Lindenhurst, 2022-03-14)

#2117

WE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO ACCEPT THE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN PLUS THAT THE CITY OF NEW YORK IS FORCING UPON RETIREES.

Alfred Julia (Baiting Hollow, 2022-03-14)

#2118

I do not want to have MAP as my health plan and I’m hoping that Mayor Adams sees how it will affect his fellow city workers.

Janet Healy (Syosset , 2022-03-14)

#2119

diminishing our promised retiree health care

michael valenzano (new york, 2022-03-14)

#2120

I need to keep my supplemental healthcare coverage the way that the DOE promised me when I took my job 25 years ago.

Carol Caputo (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2124

Because i want to stay with the Health Plan that i have.

Vincent Bilotti (Staten Island, 2022-03-14)

I want to keep my health insurance with no additional cost.

Michael Loscalzo (New york, 2022-03-14)

#2129

I want to be counted as those opposed to this outrageous change in benefits.

Adele Cohen (Brooklyn, 2022-03-14)

#2131

I want to save my benefits.

William Dalton (Staten Island, New York , 2022-03-14)

#2132

Our medical insurance should not be changed. We should not be penalized

Barbra Stein (Woodbury, 2022-03-14)

#2133

It is unfair to change the contact after the parties have agreed to it. We were promised certain things regarding healthcare after retirement and think the city shouldn’t be allowed to abrogate at random

Gene Brady (Maspeth , 2022-03-14)

#2134

I do not want diminished benefits in the Medicare Advantage Plan and I should not have to pay extra to stay in the Senior Care Plan.

Joseph De Marco (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2139

We worked for the city for decades and paid into traditional Medicare. None of us got rich working for the City. Please listen and don’t appeal.

Carol Dewey (Huntington Station, 2022-03-14)

PLEASE Mayor Adams...DO NOT APPEAL!!

I want to keep health coverage I was promised when I Took the job

James Young (Lancaster SC, 2022-03-14)

#2160

A contract with MAPP would violate the commitment the City made to retirees.

Diana Gordon (Greenport, 2022-03-14)

#2161

After leaving private industry to work in the DOE for over 25 years teaching in middle school, I expect the city to honor their promise to provide health care benefits I was promised when I retired in 2014.

Michele Freck (Middle Village, 2022-03-14)

#2165

I alreay chose aetna insurance and have for 27+ years. To force me to join a new plan run by an unknown group which doctors have not heard of is morally wrong. I pay for my own insurance and never relied on the cheap or no cost programs that the city offered. I am very happy with Aetna and do not want to switch. Please Mr. Adams respect our wishes. Thank you.

Thomas Beatty (New York. , 2022-03-14)

#2171

I should not be charged for opting out of the Medicare Plus Plan and chosing to remain with my provider.

Edward A. Mezzadri (Staten Island, 2022-03-14)

Been retired since 1984 and finances are small and can not afford new bills.

I am a retired HHC employee and am being screwed if this health plan goes into effect.

Jerry Rumain (New York, 2022-03-14)

The UFT sold out retirees.

Doris Ega (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2181

As a senior citizen my Healthcare is essential. The City made a promise to provide adequate Healthcare in retirement in lieu of raises. Failure to follow through with those promises would be a breach by the City.

James Gambardella (Pleasant Hill California , 2022-03-14)

#2183

The expenses are daunting and retired people should not be forced into higher payments and uncertainty.

Robert Haberski (Flushing, 2022-03-14)

#2186

The City made a commitment to its retirees and it needs to keep it. As a former NYPD Captain, you know how important these benefits are to civil servants!

Ted Gluckman (Rockville Centre, 2022-03-14)

#2187

Medicare with a Senior care supplemental in retirement was part of the deal when I signed up and worked for decades as a teacher. You cannot diminish what was agreed upon - We worked for these benefits!

Liz Savicz (NEW YORK, 2022-03-14)

#2193

I payed for and need Senior Care Period

Elizabeth Suzy Sandor (New York, 2022-03-14)

#2194

We accepted many contracts with zero raises to help the City. Now we need help to keep our health benefits and original Medicare.

Lisa Loren (NYC, 2022-03-14)

#2199

It’s the right thing to do for retirees which I am one of.
