Companies have been cutting benefits for retirees for years. This is nothing new. I think my father had his drug benefits eliminated at least five years ago and he's a retired exec at a large company.
For all the talk of rising costs due to obama, how much of this was happening anyway? Seems like increases of 10-25 percent were becoming pretty common over the last decade.

This is just the beginning as companies drop their plans and turn them
over to Obama-care.
What happened to Obama's promise that you can keep your own plan
if you choose?
WHAT own plan, as companies bail out in a domino effect?
