I prefer my current plan, Medicare and GHI Seniorcare to be provided at no cost.

The mayor of NY has to do the right thing. This medical plan was not asked for or wanted by the retirees of NYC. We want to keep what we were given and promised. Do right by us and do not appeal the courts decision.

...because I want to keep the benefits I was promised in return for my decades of public service.
....because I need these benefits now more than ever.
...because it is fair, just, and equitable.

I am retired and now are battling prostate cancer. I cannot afford any change in coverage or the amount I would have to pay monthly for me and my wife if I chose to opt out

I am 80 years old have worked for the city as a HS chemistry teacher for over 35 years and can not afford to pay an extra $191 on top of everything else I pay for medical insurance. Once you hit 80 medical conditions change very fast. Prior authorizations will not work for me.

I do not want to lose the health benefits coverage that I worked my whole career for. I want to keep my current benefits.

Healthcare provided on day of retirement should not, and can not be changed unless agreed to by retiree

I leaved in NY and still visit every year. If NY is what it is today it’s because of the ones who have served NY and it is fair to keep on recognizing this. Now that this group is retired it would be in sane to remove their benefits for which they worked for their entire life.

This will cost me a fortune and I can't afford it. In the end I'll be on medicaid because of the costs and that will cost the city even more.

I am 80 years old. My husband is 85. We are heavily dependent on MEDICARE, and do not want to be on Medicaid, which is basically what Medicare Advantage is. I worked for the city for 33 years, expecting the benefits promised. Medicare Advantage is a shameful bait and switch.

I need to stay in traditional Medicare
And Emblem Health Senior Care

Michael Goldstein (New York, 2022-03-28)

I'm signing because I'm 32 years old and want to retire with dignity! People over profits.

I don’t want the MAP!!

Chrysi Christou (Smithtown, 2022-03-28)

I wish to continue with Original Medicare/Sr. GHI as I can receive the highest quality of care with this coverage.

Elizabeth Brophy (NYC, 2022-03-28)

City employees sacrificed to have these health benefits and were misled and betrayed by City management.

Edward Allocco (Moriches, 2022-03-28)

#6062

I'm signing this petition because i do not want someone else making my decisions for, I want to stay with what insurance I have.

William Estes (LINDENHURST, 2022-03-28)

Me and wife need medical care continuously we can''t afford not to have our senior care it would be a financial burden if we lost our free senior care

james flahive (west nyack, 2022-03-28)

I'm appalled at what the city and unions have perpetrated on its retirees with respect to our health care. The MAP is no substitute for the plan(s) we now have despite great attempts to convince us otherwise. Further, it represents a long standing promise broken. Shameful!

Kerry Weinbaum (White Plains, 2022-03-28)

#6067

Healthcare while retired was one of the attractions of working for NYC. To change the deal now is unfair. We worked as agreed and should be protected as agreed. We are not asking for anything more than what was promised.

Alan Rockfeller (Staten Island, 2022-03-28)

I am opposed the Medicare Advantage Plan the city is trying to shove down our throats.

I want to keep what we were Promised !.

This medicare "advantage" plan is akin to having no health insurance at all.

James Mosley (New York, 2022-03-28)

#6087

This will cost me thousands of dollars. Went many years without a raise but benefits, which you are now trying to take, was compensation for underpaid work

Peter Coleman (Schenevus, 2022-03-28)

#6092

I worked 44+ years for New York City. I deserve the best health coverage.

Lonnie Elson (Bronx, 2022-03-28)

I want to keep what I was promised

Gregory Finley (SI NY, 2022-03-28)

#6096

While working I was offered several jobs from private companies willing to pay me significantly more money. I stayed with my job for the city, because the city promised us more benefits during our future retirement. Please don’t break your promise. I’m losing faith in the integrity of our leaders.

Richard Abramovitz (Flushing,NY 11355, 2022-03-28)

The city is reneging on its promises to its employees and leaving the retirees in desperate situations. This is nothing short of criminal.

john ruane (Yonkers, 2022-03-28)

Pension guaranteed health benefits.

Rodney Sorensen (New York, 2022-03-28)

#6108

20+ years of being a public sector employee on low salaries negotiated over promises for good retirement benefits. Now these negotiated benefits are being pulled out from under my (almost retired) feet. Save our retiree health benefits!

Ellen Belcher (NYC, 2022-03-28)

#6111

We need to keep our current health benefits

Charles OConnor (Staten Island, 2022-03-28)

#6113

You cannot and should not take away from us what was already promised upon retirement.

Robert Falotico (Kingston, 2022-03-28)

#6114

The Advantage plan is not compatible to those living outside of the immediate metropolitan area.

William Bywater (Rome, 2022-03-28)

#6120

We deserve to keep our Medicare and senior care

Joanne Krug (Commack, 2022-03-28)

#6128

The city claimed it would be accepted nationwide by doctors who accepted either Emblem or Blue Cross/Shield--not true. Also, pre-approval requirements are treacherous for the elderly.

Mel Hauser (San Diego, 2022-03-28)

#6130

I want to keep my present Senior Care Health Plan without fees, co pays and penalties.

Nicoletta Carbone (Flushing, 2022-03-28)

MAPP does not work for me.

Crystal Leas (Littleton, 2022-03-28)

#6151

After much reading and research, I understand NYC Medicare Advantage Plus Plan is definitely inferior to the current Medicare Senior Care plan. I worked hard and passionately to serve the children of our city for many years. I've earned the right to have healthcare which I can depend on.

I am signing this petition because I’m totally disgusted with how we were sold down the river by Michael Mulgrew and the UFT and our current mayor, Eric Adams!!!

Susan Kahan (New York, 2022-03-28)

I want to stay with the traditional Medicare plan I had when I retired

Ed Wallach (Staten Island, 2022-03-28)

I'm signing this petition because I have worked for the NYC Board of Education as a teacher for over 20 years . I'm retired and I do not want to forfeit the health benefits that I've worked so hard to attain.

Vicki Greenman (Great Neck, 2022-03-28)

#6170

This Medicare Advantage plan like more Advantage plans will undermine my timely access to high quality, affordable, health care in convenient locations. The introduction of never before required premiums, co pays and cost sharing are incongruous with promises made to retirees throughout their careers as professional, highky dedicated amd hard working municipal employees.

Matthew Weber (Hummelstown, 2022-03-28)

#6173

I want to KEEP MY MEDICARE BENEFITS AS THEY ARE NOW. This is what I have been promised through all my city service years!!

Annmarie Balsamello (Staten Island, 2022-03-28)

#6175

I do not want my medical benefits taken away & controlled by a business which does not have the interests of the civil service retirees at heart, or am I comfortable with managed care.

Constance Levy (NYC, 2022-03-28)

#6176

I’m a RN who knows the value of health care and would like to keep the insurance plan I have chosen (and pay for) after working so many years for the children of NYC as a Pediatric Nurse

Rosemarie Farenga (Bronx, 2022-03-28)

#6178

I’m signing because I sincerely believe that we should continue to receive the same quality healthcare from Medicare and Senior Care that we have been receiving since retirement, and that this is part of our retirement package that we worked many years for.

Bobbi Brauer (Roslyn, 2022-03-29)

#6179

As a retiree I was promised free medical coverage as part of my contract and in lieu of higher wages. It seems unfair to reneg now. I also believe the new medical advantage plan undermines medicare and is for profit and will provide inferior medical care just when retirees need it most.

Barbara Polkovitch (Bergenfield, 2022-03-29)

#6180

I don’t want changes to my health plan

Joel Layman (Leona, 2022-03-29)

I am outraged by this whole thing.

Wendell Joyce (New York, 2022-03-29)

#6191

It is totally wrong that Union Leaders can Vote for something to take away our rights from us to benefit working members. Please look into this corrupt Union Coalation. Thank You G Jordan

Gerard Jordan (New York, 2022-03-29)

#6194

I do not believe in privatizing Medicare. If the city is saving millions of dollars with this new plan, how can the quality of services not be affected?

Judith Adelson (New York City, 2022-03-29)

#6196

My primary care doctor and some of my other doctors will not participate in the Medicare Advantage program and because Medicare Advantages requires prior authorization for many procedures that will limit my access to appropriate healthcare.

Ellen Bitkower (New York, 2022-03-29)
