The Cost of Medical/Dental Insurance

Those who said “yes, we have coverage” – 23 AssociationsCan we assume members of 10 associations pay nothing?

What percentage of single or semi-private hospital room costs are covered?

Greater than 70%

50-70%

20-49%

None

21 of 33 Associations answeredDoes that mean that the other 12 also had none?

What percentage of routine dental services costs is covered?

Greater than 70%

50-70%

20-49%

None

12 Associations skipped this questionThis probably means that the “None” light-green area should be almost doubled.

Many retirees continue involvement with their college/university or with the larger com-

munity. Is your Association/Union involved in promoting or encouraging such involvement?

YesNo

In Summary

• Our Associations are (mostly) established• Enough of us have health coverage that a

precedent is there for the rest• Insurance cost to the individual varies greatly

(Why?)• Our associations are active on many fronts• Among activities, nobody mentioned:

involvement in CURAC/ARUCC !!
