Retired Labor Strong Candidates
We asked candidates seeking our endorsement if they agreed to support fixing the three biggest issues a retiree has today:
1. Not being forced into Medicare Advantage - preserving our promised paid-for supplement to Traditional Medicare & not permitting backdoor premium onto us in the form of copays and deductibles.
2. Medicare B reimbursement isn't refunded as required by law till 16-22 months later. This needs to be monthly or quarterly in the year it's paid.
3. Our family healthcare dies the day we do. There needs to be a 30, 60 or 90 days grace for loved ones to get their affairs in order and the City to advise them their alternatives.
If the candidate agreed to these issues in writing, on their campaign letterhead with a signature, we would endorse them so retirees know WHO is on their side.
The next thing to for watch is, AFTER they agree, are they quiet about their support or do they proudly say they support it?
