Health and Dental Insurance

It is wonderful to get notification again today that our retiree health and dental insurance will be continued again for 2009. It is the most wonderful benefit we could have as retirees. Medicare does not pay for everything, although it is very good. However, you need a supplemental insurance to cover the difference. Having worked 25 years for the same company, they have extended our insurance into retirement. That is worth a great deal to us. Some companies, due to the economic conditions, have had to drop their retirees from their insurance plans. So we feel very blessed to have our health and dental insurance continued. It is a big load off your mind not to worry about being without insurance. I know many do not have insurance and it has got to be very hard for them.
