Reply to comment by mowotlarx in Mayor Adams plows ahead with plan to privatize health benefits for 250,000 NYC municipal retirees by mowotlarx

like in general. I, like a lot of folks, have little education or background in this area or matters -- but I want to try to learn.

It is confusing and kinda hard and complex so every explainer helps.

There's been a ton of back and forth on this and you're going to get a totally different spin from the city and from retirees. The base of it is that the city is trying to make budget cuts and save money and think switching retirees to this plan will do so. The retirees are worried this is going to be a lot out of pocket on a fixed income and they will lose health coverage and doctors.
